SonyEricsson S700

The Good :
Cool swivel design, 1.3 megapixel camera, bright TFT 262,000 colors display, infrared, bluetooth, GPRS, SyncML, USB port

The Bad:
a bit bulky, quite expensive

SonyEricsson S700 reminds us to one of swivel phone from Motorola a few years ago. However, this big guy from SonyEricsson brings many many more features to us than the old Motorola phone.



First impression of S700 is a little bit big and bulky, with large display screen, which is nice. When we open the swivel, it turns around so nicely. The strength of S700 is its imaging. The camera can capture pictures very sharply and flawlessly.

The GPRS, infrared, bluetooth and USB all makes S700 a full connectivity cell phone. The SyncML also makes the S700 reliable when synchronizing contacts with Outlook. The perception of phone with cool design inevitably comes into our mind with its swivel design.

Comparable phones are Nokia 6670, Nokia 7610, Nokia 7270, O2 Xphone II, and Motorola E680. Although slightly different in product type, the Motorola E680 gives you big internal memory (50 MB) with faster Intel XScale processor and Microsoft Smartphone System (compared to SonyEricsson S700's Symbian system). But S700 excels in display and camera compared to Motorola E680.

Another considerable alternative is the Nokia 6670, with similar 1.3 megapixel camera, full connectivity also, but less colors in display (65,000 compared to S700's 262,000 colors display). Nokia 7610 with its very stylish keypad and physical design, also becomes a tough choice for you. It offers less advanced 1 megapixel camera, with MP4 video player. Yet, the strongest selling point of Nokia 7610 is its style.



On the other hand, O2 Xphone II brings Windows Smartphone system, less than megapixel camera, 32 MB memory and memory slots. Are you confused already? Competition in this price range is intensive, so you'd better know what you're looking for.

We know that SonyEricsson S700 offers unique and stylish swivel design. But for the price, better ask around, because you might find other phones with similar price that brings more value to you.

If you are truly fall in love with S700, however, go for your love! Indeed, S700 is the only swivel phone that has megapixel camera in it. And the reputation of quality from SonyEricsson, supported by camera technology leadership from Sony, is undisputable.

Conclusion :
SonyEricsson S700 is for you who loves imaging, that is taking pictures and videos and watch them on the display of your phone. It is the only swivel phone with megapixel camera right now. The 262,000 colors TFT display is surely right for your eyes. Don't forget to evaluate other phones, cause you might change your mind.
