> K700 has made me go back to Nokia

@mike_K7
You have made my point for me. The K700 is obviously not priced with customers in Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, etc in mind, it is priced at Western European levels and isn't anywhere near as expensive, in relative terms, for the average Western European. You choose to buy a relatively expensive product and you expect it to be worth the expenditure, that is a reasonable assumption. You might feel cheated, but I don't since I spent a considerably smaller percentage of my income on my K700 than you did, so, for me, it represents value for money.
You should either make sure you know everything about an expensive purchase before you commit to it or you shouldn't make the purchase. With respect, it seems strange to me that someone should spend such a high proportion of their salary on, what is essentialy, a luxury item. Of course you have a right to own nice things, but I would make sure I knew what I was buying if I were spending three times my income on something.
P.S. I would be surprised if anyone enjoyed spending three times their income on a mobile phone and I didn't suggest that you did.

guys, guys ... I put up a list with pro-s and con-s for k700i, or why choose 6600 for example (to give a nokia - CUZ THE TOPIC TITLE IS k700 made me go back to nokia, right?).
I knew very well that k700i didn't have symbian before I got it, but that is a CON for him, compaired with the Nokia 6600 (isn't it?!).
Camera in light is the same for Nokia 6600 and K700i, however (!!!) in the dark, the 6600 is much better (as stated by everyone here!), thus Camera = CON for k700i.
If I were you, I would do better reading before rushing to answer posts ...
Basically, if the 6600 was a little smaller, and had IMPS, it would have killed the k700.

@Valentiner
The debate has moved on from there, as you can see, we are debating whether the K700 is value for money.
@boba
The K700 might be free on contract in Hungary, but you mentioned how expensive the network charges are; I would presume, therefore, that this would still make owning and using a mobile an expensive prospect.

The K700 can be gotten free with contract if one chooses certain tariffs. Running costs aren't too bad on the whole, depending how much one uses one's phone of course.

If I were the general manager of Nokia Inc. right now I'd make a smaller, ligher version of 6600 with extra-features like IMPS, larger internal memory (64mb at least) and 1.3 Mp Camera. This kind of phone would distroy any ponential concurrent (SE K700i, SE S700, Motorola E398, Siemens S65, etc.)
But I guess Nokia Inc. is sometimes just too stupid to see the obvious.

No, Nokia is not stupid. It's all part of an elaborate business plan, just like SE or Motorola or Siemens or Samsung, etc. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
