I would like to share my experiences after a few days of painful testing of the k700 synch-options. And, why I just decided to bring it back to my dealer:
1. since years I'm using SE phones (T39, T68, T610) and always successfully used XTNDConnect to synch with Outlook via Bluetooth.
2. first disappointment was that SE now decided to give up on XTENDCOnnect and use homegrown Synchstation. XTENDConnect could e.g. synchronize contacts based on a category filter, Synchstation can't. Well so finally I will have to create a new contacts folder in Outlook holding those contacts only which I want to have on my cellphone. Clumsy.
3. Baseline of my testing: synchronisation doesn't work with McAffee Virus scan being on a PC. Simply disabling it or terminating the process won't be enough. You will have to deinstall McAffee from your PC to make the synch work.
4. I tested under W2k with Outlook 2k. Used 2 different PCs. One equipped with a Belkin PC dongle, later with an infrared adapter. The other one had a Logitech Bluetooth hub. One PC runs McAfee 7.0, the other one V 8.0.
5. Yes, all Bluetooth or infrared connections became active, COM prots were set correctly, phone & PCs got paired successfully etc. I'm using this now since years and think I did not do anything wrong.
6. In ANY of the configurations described above, the following happens: phone and PC connect, SE Synchstation window pops up (it wouldn't if there was no connection), after ~10 seconds a McAfee popup appears asking to allow or reject a script to be executed, said yes, and Synchstation fails and ends, without synchronizing.
7. according to McAfee support the script shield can only be removed by removing the complete McAfee installation, which I a.) don't want to do and b.) on at least on one of the 2 PCs I can't because it's my company's PC
This is very frustrating, and I already found some hints in the web about similar troubles with P900/P800 synchronisation, and there still seems to be no reaction/resolution from SE.
AS it's essential for me to have my about 350 contacts in my phone as well as my calendar and action items, I think there will be no other chance for me than to keep my T610...or choose a different vendor?
Shame. The K700 seems to be a nice phone, otherwise.

McAfee testing continued: now I managed to turn McAfee script stopper off (it works - opposite to what the support told!) and get the same result, just without the McAfee window popping up.
I think now that I mistakenly suspected McAfee and the SE SW just is buggy.
By the way I just tried my SE HBH-60 with the K700i - guess what it doesn't work. Gets paired & known but BT connection always breaks down. Same HBH-60 works fine with the T610. My other BT headset Motorola HS810 works with the K700i AND the T610.
Seems like their own products don't really work with each others.
I'm increasingly thinking I'll bring the phone back now and wait for a more stable release....

I believe I read it could record as long as you have sufficient memory. Need that clarified. With respect to the video quality. It is rather good based on what I have seen and heard. It's better than It's rival the Nokia 6230.

My keys are white.
It looks more plastic inside than phones like the T610 because the plastic is a shiny black colour. If it was white like the T610, it would probably not feel that way.
All in all though, the K700 is definitely more well built than the T610, it doesnt creak when you press on the case at all on mine !
