First off.. Welcome to Esato!
Dude i don't know too much bout batteries but it would be interestin to see what people say bout your theory...
About ya gripes...
1) I agree the delay buggs the hell outta me too but not everyone suffers with it... It seems only to happen on certain phones...
2)A phone manager would be nice... Don't really know off anything like it available yet tho?
3)The buzzin noise! I'm on orange uk and i get it too... Sometimes?? The people on the other end of the call can hear it too! Is it a phone fault or is it a firmware fixable fault? You are only the 3rd person i've come across in this forum with the same problem? Or have i missed the others?
4)Nice and Easy profile selection would be good... Save us a little hassle.
5) Blue square?? What blue square?? My signal meter is blue? Not really square? The gprs indicator thingy comes up above the signal indicator... The to together kinda make a square...?
6)Brightness... Not really bothered by this either...

When I get an sms from someone - the whole screen is plastered with info - "Text message received from "contactname" Read now ?"
But this requires that the contact is allready in your contactlist so the phone knows the contact ID and it also requires that the sender has not turned on hide number.
Never had any synchingproblems neither with my Ipaq/Outlook - nor with my K700/Outlook. Usually synchproblems is caused by users not understanding the basic rules of synching - no offence at all - like entries/fields definitions having to be identical or mapped correctly in all devices you need to synch together and having unique ID's for the entries for the synchsoftware to know which to update/replace, and knowing in which order to synch what, given the right choice of replace/update what and where etc. Synching SIM with Phone and Outlook is usually sure to give problems - as field definition is totally different on SIM from phone/outlook. Like if you have a contact on some phone with 3 numbers, this is stored under the same contact entry - but once this is stored/transfered to the SIM it becomes 3 different entries with the same name as a SIM cannot hold 3 numbers for the same contact. If you then get a new phone and transfer the SIM to the phone you get 3 entries - then synching this with outlook and suddenly you have several entries of the same name both on the phone and in outlook. Synching is no easy matter
- but this is no K700 issue what so ever - its not a bug or error in regards to the phone. Its an issue of the wonderfull world of synching
A few comments in a friendly spirit on your other points:
1. Havent noticed that myself on my non branded K700
2. There are a phonemanager both on the phone and on the pc using the software delivered with the phone or a BT device - that lets you manage all manageable files on the phone. This does however not include javagames simply because these are considered copyrighted materiale and not to be transfered from the phone to neither other phones nor other intermediate storagedevices. These can only be transfered TO the phone. There is no java applikation to get around this AFAIK and I dont think there ever will be.
3. Dont know about that one
4. Dont know about that one
5. The bloody blue square is a GPRS available indicator - it indicates that GPRS are available at the moment in the area where you are. If it annoyes you (like it did me) it can easily be turned off under Menu, Connectivity, Data Comm. Preferred Service, select GSM only. Then the K700 will not check for GPRS availability until you actually start a GPRS session. There is no noticeable extra lag when doing this.
6. Yeah - could be a nice feature - but not sure it will ever be implemented.

Oh, that's what it is for! Thanks...
Bug(?): The XHTML browser doesn't terminate the connections (sometimes). When you're trying to connect to it again... it'll blurt out an error message.

He's got an Orange K700 so no customisable shortcuts.
So switching to silent is the only thing you can do.

exactly, this is the nice thing you can add to any direction of joystick almost any function. I have one of these for "select profile" too...

I've done a search but haven't seen this problem mentioned yet:
When i set a reoccurring alarm it doesn't make a sound when it goes off, the screen just flashes and that's it. Anyone seen this and is there any workaround as I really rely on that alarm on my T610 and have to be able to do the same on this.

Talking about K700i problems... The biggest problem for me is that I can not see whole number in call list (dialed, received, missed) if the person is not in my phonebook. Last digit does not fit to screen. I mus press more->edit to see whole number. Any solutions?

In general I am very satisfied with my new K700i, I waited long enough to upgrade from my T68i (which lasted for 2 plus years, can't say that about many phones). Here is a list of Issues I have with my K700i, if fixed would make life soo much easier:
1. Alarms (such as recurring ones) become unaudiable.
2. Calendar reminders become unaudible
3. The key lock icon is displayed even after the key lock is unlocked
I suspect a firmware upgrade could do the trick, but the link posted here does not seem to work.
P.S.: After reboot the phone these functions work fine until the issues come back randomly.
Any ideas?

Just a few quick questions concerning several issues:
1. I can not seem to find the "My Friends" application. Is this something special or is it part of every K700i? I have searched under "Messages" for it but it is not there. Is it a separate download and install?
2. Is it normal for the BT and Headset to remain connected all the time? If so, my battery life will suffer greatly, such as it is currently.
3. To date, what is the current software version: I am using R2A041. If there is a more recent version, does it fix the problems that I have noted above.
Thank you in advance.
