Bookmark topic
In the next couple of days I'm looking to buy another phone to replace my K700i. The three phones I'm thinking of are a Samsung E800, Siemens SL65 or a
S700. The phone would be bought sim free.
What are peoples opinions of these 3 phones ?
Any advice/feedback on them would be grateful
A friend bought an E800 and it does look nice and easy to use but I heard that you cant transfer pictures/photos to/from it.
I owned a SL55 for 6 months last year and again was a nice phone. It was just a little slow. The camera attachment was really good as it had a proper flash. The SL65 is the upgrade to the Sl55 from what I've read.
The S700 looks like it could be a hit or miss phone for
The things that may put me off is the possible high price and the current amount of faults/bugs that occur in new
handsets.
I want to find out other peoples views on these phones before I make a decision on which to buy.

@staz081277 - Does the Siemens SX-1 ever entered your mind mate? I am contemplating on replacing my K700i with it - maybe . . . Of your top choices - I'll definitely go for the SE S700! Good Luck pal !

Its a nice looking phone. But its been out for a while now and still priced at £249.99 for sim free on Siemens website. It does have mp3 + video capabilities though. But can mp3 be used as ringtones ?

Have just seen a SX-1 on Ebay for £199.90 sim free. May get it as a second phone.
Hmmm

@staz081277 - See I told you . . . I have a potential swapper from Manila (@usong725) for my K700i for his SX-1 with 64 Mb mmc, it's like a Nokia 6600/6230 that's why - though, 'have to try different brand now, it's always a Nokia and SE for me . . .

it does'nt say that it takes media cards on the spec in Siemens website.
Just had a reply from the seller. He says that it does take media cards up to 1gb
Gotta buy it just to see what its like.

IMO The new Siemens *65 series are "gutter balls" plagued with dodgy fw, menu icons drawn by a child, or renegade from the KDE developer team. Maybe 3 months from now they will have matured into being worth the price (which will probably be right by then too)
SX1: If you can learn to live with the keypad from hell that can't be managed with one hand, by all means go for it! I would rather choose 6600..
Personally i'd keep K700 and/or take a serious look at the S700 when it's been out for a month or two.
Just my 2 cents..
Cheers!
