When I 1st handled the phone, I disliked it. A week later I had another look & upgraded from a T610 to this model.
I actually like the look now. The screen is the most obvious aspect I noticed 1st, large, clear, colourful & visible over a reasonably wide angle. The 2nd thing I noticed was the excellent audio quality - from ringtones, MP3s & Radio through the external speaker to call quality on the internal one. The real killer is the RF performance. The K700i on Voda UK will make, receive & hang on to calls in marginal reception conditions like no other phone I know of - this phone's core function is 2nd to none IMO & doing so with low SAR & an internal aerial. The K700 is far better than the T610 in this respect & easily better than the T39.
The camera stills are OK but not startling, video isn't bad tho. My old HBH-15 now works without break-up, where my T39 (which I'll never part with - a classic) & T610 were poor. The UI is better than previous models & finally street addresses can be stored. Little touches like previous SMS recipients being listed save a few steps & don't forget the options on the C key from the Home menu or the camera shortcuts.
No, it's not perfect but fairly close. I get reasonable battery life (helped by using dark themes), no dust after 3 months but does creak a bit after firmware upgrade, oddly enough.
Enhancements to its replacement would be better camera (optical zoom would be nice but wouldn't expect to see that for at least another year) & an external mini SD slot (not out of the question - SE did recently join the SD SIG).
Other enhancements include the number of stored SMSs, phonebook entries, MP3s, voice labels, accepted caller list etc be only limited to the total memory available.
As for the UI, menu item reordering with the ability to hide rarely used functions would remove a lot of clutter. Please SE, can we have a quieter shutter sound with the option to silence it please? Being able to assign different themes to profiles would be great & lastly a web browser that can handle www pages.

First thing that caught my attention was the screen, big and bright
Second was the 'feel' of the phone - best phone I have held in my hand (candybar form).
I love the way the buttons fade out when you put the phone down after use (especially in the dark). Great Phone!

this has been asked a thousand times but my answer is always the same. read the manual. for all SE phones it says 4 hours initial charge
. . . to add more, don't forget to upgrade the firmware once bought (if what is installed is the 'stock' one mate). If you have a bigger budget, might as well get the
S700 pal
Nice though, Good Luck!

During the time it came out my first impression was "This is what I've been looking for". Comparing it to todays newer models is just plain ignorance IMO.
