To sam_user : The manual came with X700 has Answering Machine (menu 5.6) feature....and the actual words are: "Use this menu to inform callers of your current situation and to guide then to leave messages. You can take the call by pressing while this feature is activated...." It has options like...".Inbox..... Settings (activate, time setting, screen setting, select the gretting)..... Record my greeting.... Delete All....." May be your firmware is old!....If your set is on warranty, then trying to get new firmware on X700 will void the warranty....So contact to service center ( or the company responsible the warranty.....since this issue is not included in warranty!)

    I forget to tell u that my brother bought this phone two months ago and i tell u what are the good and bad things first.
    The good: Attractive design, 1.3MP camera, MP3 player, video recorder, bright display ,user friendly and good keypad
    The Bad: MP3 cannot multi-tasking while doing other things, no full screen video, short battery life
    Conclusion: I don't agree with the review which gsmarena have and the person doesn't know what is a good phone and giving it a rubbish and please check it again.
    My Advice: for those who got short battery life, please adjust your brightness to one and no lights for keypad and the battery will last longer than two days and please don't talk nonsense if u hate this phone. I will see wherever they will agree with me or not.

            To Danish3:
            To have cell info display in X700 follow this:

            Go to Messages->Broadcast Messages
            Select Channel -> All Channels -> Enable
            Then come back, and
            Select Receive -> On

            with this the service area is displayed.
            Its working for me.

                    To Sandy:
                    For all secret codes of X700, here is the address:
                    http://www.mobiletechblog.com/2006/05/02/samsung-e720e730d500-secret-codes
                    Please note that D500 and X700 both have same secret codes due to similar OS software…..
                    If 3gp file has resolution higher than (176 x 144 pixels) , then it cannot be supported by X700…. Also check the height:width aspect ratio of JPEG file…. Try to download some other image jpeg files….

                        To Amir:
                        Here is the fully featured MP4 / 3GP mobile video converter……named as “MPEG4 DIRECT MAKER” …. It has only one limitation that it is 30 days unregistered version but you can make complete DVD movie into MP4 or 3GP video files ….. There is NO file size restrictions….Just forget about imtoo or any other software….and this is the address:
                        www.artech365.com
                        After installation, open “MPEG4 Direct Maker” and click to open “ Multiple video format converter” …
                        Now, go to “Options” …. Setup destination file formats….
                        Select “mp4 simple profile” as file format ( if making mp4 file)….
                        Or Select “3GP aac audio for music” as file format ( if making 3gp file)….
                        Video bitrate: 120 to 160 kbps (depends on file)…..
                        Audio bitrate: 48 kbps , Sample rate: 11025 khz , Channel: Stereo…..
                        Resizing image : 176 x 144 pixels ( don’t increase it because X700 cannot support higher than this!)
                        Frame Rate : 15
                        Select Image Mode : Auto ( if source file is a DVD movie vob file)
                        Select Image Mode : RGB24 ( if source file is AVI, divX, dat vcd ,mpg)
                        Select destination file format : MP4 / MOV/ PSP / 3GP
                        Now, click file menu….open files….when file is loaded…. Check on name of opened file (on right side)….
                        And click “convert”…..That’s it…. You can set beginning and end positions of mp4 file and click “ convert beginning position to end position”….
                        Please don’t increase resultant mp4 file size above 30 MB since for bigger file, X700 cannot play video smoothly….So ideal mp4 file size is 20 to 30 MB…. And complete DVD will be converted into 9 to 12 MP4 video files which you can easily transfer into X700’s memory card using USB Mass Storage Option ..
                        Make a new folder in memory card’s video folder and put all these mp4 files in it….
                        You will be amazed about the audio / video quality of mp4 file…. Much better and louder than 3gp….
                        For more info, you can ask to me on this forum…..
                        (usman)….

                                To TBS: Sorry for the delay. Of course you can use the software. It's freeware. I don't know how to install it, so ask someone who is more familiar with it. And be aware that you will lose warranty if you install modified software so make a backup of an original one.

                                  Ok one, I found my answer. If one folds it under attitudes telephone attitudes USB, not when modem places but on memory card.

                                    Hello to all. One can merge the memory card somehow as additional storage location or drive assembly on the PC.

                                        To Qasim: The default password is eight digit number "00000000". If X700 does not accept this password then it means that someone has changed the default password!
