thegame, 11 Jul 2008I am thinking about purchasing this device also. Can anyone... moreDisclaimer :

I was using M600 for a couple of years before deciding to buy this G700, so I'm rather familiar with the OS beforehand.

Having said that, I really like this phone, it really feels like an upgrade from my previous M600, not just coz of the camera etc, but the new OS is better too.

Haven't really use the touchscreen that much yet, the 5 ways button and the 2 other extra keys below the screen really help in navigating the menus.

For txting, I prefer using the touchscreen with the stylus, this is pretty much the main reason I'm staying with UIQ3 phones atm.
For me, it's really faster using the stylus to write down messages rather than using the keypad. Then again, maybe it's just me :p


Bottom line is (for me anyways) this is a really good phone for everyday use, with some extra thrown in for business uses and multimedia.


Very good value for the price for me.

    Shaji, 16 Jul 2008Few queries. 1.Can one set MP3 tunes as ring tones in this... moreYes, you can use mp3 as ringtone

    Yes, you can set different ringtones to different names in your contact list

    No, I don't think you can use vidclip as ringtones (at least I havent been able to find it yet :p)

              I brought this mobile last week and am totally satisfied with its performance so far. Its operations and all are extreamly diff from the K or W series and so took little time to get know it. and whnever u receive a file/song/picture thru bluetooth, this is aking where to save, when u click view. and u can easily download .utz files for the themes and it supporting all most all sound format. n however.. it lacks auto focus function and the shortcut keys for playing music.. still this one is good...

                The phone looks really nice. But the only problem is, is that it is a touch screen phone. After sometime you might get bored with it. Is it worth buying this phone ?

                                I am thinking about purchasing this device also. Can anyone give an unbiased review? I've read more bad than good, but only from a cpl of G700 owners.

                                Does the touchscreen really give ppl trouble cuz its not as sensitive?

                                Is anyone else experiencing dust getting into the screens of the phone?

                                How easy is it to text for heavy texters like myself?

                                Just some basic questions i would like answered along with a decent real world review. Thanks.

                                    lily, 10 Jul 2008Generally, which is better? SE G700 or G900?Lily, obviously G900 is better because it has a higher resolution camera and wi-fi in it which G700 lacks. However if you don't need that then G700 is a better and cheaper option.

                                      se fan, 10 Jul 2008can you record how you put new themes in g700 ang send vide... moreReally there is nothing complicated about it. Just google for UIQ3 themes which will show up several sites. Go to any of them and download the themes you want. Then send over the theme file to your G700 and the installation process thereafter is extremely straight forward. Remember however that the theme in UIQ phones needs to be installed prior to using it, unlike in regular Sony Ericsson phones where you just copy the theme file in the theme folder. After installation the theme will appear in the Themes menu in the Display option in Settings.
