I bought the S710 a few days back. It was really good to own the phone but I was a little disappointed to see that that the phone connects with my Nokia BH 900 headset but I cannot listen to the incoimg call whereas I can listen while I am making a outbound call, I found is really annoying. The battery is very very non business. It hardly gives a 2 to 3 hrs talktime. I have to charge the phone atleast once/twice in the middle of the day.
The voice clarity is good however the while using the speaker phone the caller cannot hear you loud and clear.
The wired handsfree, provided alongwith the phone, has a similar problem, while the audio is good the person on the other side cannot hear you clearly.
The Voice recognition is very very sensitive, it means you have to speak in the American tone or else it will dial David instead of Trevis. The digit dialing is also way too sensitive, dial 2 instead of 5.
The camera is great and the features are nice but you need to press multiple menu items to reach the desired option.
The network and Bluetooth indicator on the earpeice looks good.
When you slide out the keyboard, the chime played is uneven and there is a 3 sec delay in switching from portrait to landscape display.
The GPRS/EDGE connection is not terminated when all browser pages are closed and the GPRS/EDGE is no longer being used. It has to be done manually by pressing a series of buttons. It drains the battery further.
The vibrator does not pulsate with the music and is a constant buzz which is not what is desired.
There are only 2 inbuilt games (Solitaire and Bubble Breaker). It should have come with a few more arcade/adventure games.
Uverall a good phone which looks awesome but lacks few important details.
Overall 7/10

awsome phone...was using a communicator 9300 prior to this one and i find this to be really user friendly and the fact that it has a slide down and keys on the top is fantastic......its like they read my mind while designing this phone...

Love the phone...One issue. Does ANYONE know how to set up MSN-HOTMAIL to automatically pop? I need to manually retrieve it.Unlike Gmail which pops automatically..MSN needs to be manually obtained.Thanks in advance!

1. Have a look at modaco.com
2. Also try Documents2Go, it's much better than Mobile Office

Very nice phone. Especially the normal phone keys. It has the same flaws as many other smart phones, when the phone signal is weak it gets slow. But it is normally much faster than previous versions of windows mobile. Of course when you install many programs and leave them active, it will hang.
