it amuses me, in some ways, how sony are only just catching up to 6 year old technology.. i was quite surprised that my new £250 (offline) S700i holds fewer names/numbers and fewer SMS than my 6 year old Nokia 7110, that i paid £11.50 for (offline) on ebay..
come on SE, use one of these phones and realise how important the the LITTLE things are..
* on nokia 7110, you slide the cover open, it unlocks the keypad
(after all, SE do flip the volume buttons over when the keypad is open.. anyone notice that? when closed, the one nearest the centre of the phone turns volume down. when open, it turns volume up
)
.. you slide it closed, it asks to "lock keys?"
* only holds 100 SMS? what's that about? i bought a phone with 64Mb memory and it only holds 100 SMS?
* 500 names? i know it's not quite a business phone like the 7110 was, but really.. with up to 150mb of memory possible, i dont the point in this low limit
* predictive texting is a bit of a nuisance, having to leave the letters and move thumbs up to the "joypad" to select a choice from the menu.. couldnt you (SE) have made the World key double up as a "next guess" like nokia do with their * key?
* why cant i change the ringtone for an SMS? even basic rubbish like 3310 had this!
* why cant i change the tones for annoying things like that horrible "battery low" warning?
* why does it say "continue" above the left soft key when im writing a text? to mea, "continue" means "continue writing your message". if you were going to make it mean "send", why didnt you write "send" ?
* why do you only show the remaining letters when i get within 20 of the end? why not show it all the time? is it really so hard?
* why does the entire phone stop doing everything when an operator reply is on show? (if youre on O2 uk, dial *#10#, a text appears telling you your balance. leave it on show and now your phone will not make a single noise all day, no matter how many other texts you get)
on nokia, this message disappears after a while. also, new operator messages override previous ones, so if i write 3 part SMS (not possible on nokia 7110, but ok on 3310) on nokia, i just press okay once. on SE, i have to press OK 3 times
I also have the option of pressing "No" (which makes no sense, but it amuses me: 'your balance is £0.02' >>NO
sony needs to make a few steps towards asking their users.. "so, users, tell us what is annoying as *!$%! about our phones?"
ps; if there is a better thread for me to post my whinings to, let me know (better == one that SE might read)

i agree with a lot of the things that you have said. if you feel that pationately about it, then email
direct.
your point about unlocking the phone when you slide it open appears to have been addressed in the latest firmware update.

Just R2f008. Not sure of the bug fixes, but I hope it stops automatically rebooting.

Automatically rebooting? Thats not normal. Mine doesnt do that, infact it has never done that! Get yours looked at.

@JC_W,
There has been a few threads talking about the rebooting problem of the s700. Mine does it every now and then, but it comes right back to the point of reboot. If I was in an SMS, it comes back to this point. Anyway, I have the new software: R3F. They did add the phone book search feature that allows more than one character. It also seems a bit faster but this might simply be wishful thinking. I will continue to play with it and see what it does. Before anyone asks, no I did not test it with a larger than 128 MS. I do not really care about the usable size, nor do I care about full screen video, so I have not and probably will not test this without a reason to do so.

One thing that caught my mind the other day was that SE has removed the opportunity to rearrange the order of the phonenumbers in the phonebook. If 2 persons (Anna & Mattias) have the same homenumber maybe it says Anna when Mattias calls because she is the first of the 2 in my phonebook. In my old T610 you could edit the order.
Have I missed something?
