Conditions:
Always connected Bluetooth to connect the phone with PC.
GPRS for browsing on the net through PC.
Usually uploading and downloading movies and music to and from Phone.
Playing Music/Movies with speaker on.
Yes my usage was a bit more than the usuall because I was testing the featuers out. But read other threads on the K700i battery by other people using k700i and see what they think of it. I had to recharge my battry atleast three times a day.
my phone is taking approx 1 hour 45 minutes to charge!!! How come your phone is taking 4 hours???
Also. I have been a dedicated Ericsson and then SonyEricsson user for the past 8 years. I still have 337, 868, 688, t18, t28, R320, R520, t68i and t610 (I loved eachone) and people usually think I work for SE because I always used to promote SE among my friends and colleagues. (See my previous posts and you will know)
K700i has lots of goodies which will attract kids and casual mobile phone users. I also believe k700i will be the most successful SE mobile phone set ever in terms of sales cause it has all the features that made NOKIA and Samsung so popular.
But the sole reason I always liked ericsson and then SE was because it always had best 'Serious' functions. They never compromised on the 'Serious' functions such call handeling etc. However this is not the case with K700i. Can anyone of you justify why SE did not include
a) Contact search with more than one alphabet? I have more than 140 contacts starting with letter 'S' imaging how much scrolling I have to do to dial out the 60th contact.??
View call list during call? This is a simple yet very important feature.
This is criminal on SE's Part. I have decided to sell it. And it will be first time in my life that I will be selling off any SE product that I have ever bought.
Ohh I forgot to mention that I work for a GSM operator and mobile phone set is one of my hobby. People usually take advise from me before buying any new mobile phone set!!

personally i'd wait but it depends on whether you can be bothered to go to SE for upgrades, or even want them.
