i phoned CS because i thought probably its just a missing menu that could be sorted via a sim update, but after receiving the updates there was no change. also when you intially start up the phone, the sony ericsson manual states that when i press a direction on the joystick it automatically asks me to create a shortcut, but alas this did not happen.

any clues?

I know there is no short cut icon

To edit a shortcut:
1 Press the Action key and select Settings.
2 Scroll to Shortcuts and press Select.
3 Select one of the scroll options and press Edit.
4 Select one of the main menus and press Shortcut.

@spikee_3D, let us know if you find it... Did any of you have the little list of icons on the left hand side of the 'desktop' screen (not the menu icons). Do these disappear once the SIM is properly registered with Orange? cheers

My SIM is correctly registered with Orange and the desktop icons are still there, so I'm guessing they're a feature and not something which will dissapear...

And I can confirm that the 'shortcuts' option in the settings menu just isn't there, despite what Orange's own K700i manual states. The above post lists what _should_ happen, but the option's not available!

My phone currently has 'calls' and 'camera' as the two default soft keys - not 'calls' and 'more' but I can't find a way to change them. Is this just standard on Orange?

Any ideas?

nope i still havent got a shortcuts option. annoying as hell coz right on the joystick = main menu. this better be sorted! at the moment orange havent got much of an idea about the k700 as its so new.

i'm waiting for orange to get back to me to see if its a software problem. i'll keep you posted.

Couldn't you hit the "More" button (during the main screen) and it'll give you the shortcuts options?

the more option isnt there. apparently there should be some set up wizard that automatically takes you to a short cut option when you 1st press the joystick in a direction

You'll be please to know mine does exactly the same.

Notice when you power it up more is on the right hand key until it fully boots and then camera is there instead.

I sent an email to Orange with regard to the changes they have made to the firmware. Herewith their response!

===============
Thank you for your mail regarding the Sony Ericsson K700i.

I am sorry to learn that you feel that Orange has removed some of the more useful features of the phone.

Orange chooses to change the software on their branded phones for many reasons, some of which can effect the way the phone performs on the network. Orange offer services that the other networks do not provide and therefore have to amend some of the functions of a phone.

Whilst I can understand your concerns, regrettably there are no plans to change the software of the Sony Ericsson K700i in the future.

Kind regards

===============

Now if anyone can tell me which added Orange services are enabled by removing the shortcuts options and replacing the idle-screen more button with another camera button I would be very grateful!
