The screen colouring is a hell of a lot better, I noticed it straight away so not sure what's happened there.

Cam noise is gone on silent (I think that's in F though?)

Battery life much improved and I'm messing with the unit even more now.

Navigating the pictures folder is much faster although adding an EMS picture takes a while to load up the list as before.

Less rattle from the shutter (don't laugh!) I think they've toned down the 'bass' of the tones perhaps as before I couldn't use them at all.

Memory status now reading correctly for MS in the folders view.

Still no full screen video - instead of 'unlimited' in video camera settings it now says 'normal' which indicates unlimited is never coming.

Night mode much improved in camera

Camera start up - wippet fast now

Can't remove Darts game which is annoying

Setting default number in address book doesn't show until you exit and go back in - that's annoying

Not one reboot since I flashed it so that's been fixed by the look of it

      This is definately a beautiful phone, but not flawless. One thing that bothers me is the phonebook entry, where it can only store one mobile number, one home number and so on under each name and not two or more mobile numbers or two or more home numbers.

                Well i jad a S700i and i traded it in for a 7610. Se S700i SUCKS!!! The battery life sucks.U watch a video,listen to few songs,take a fw pics and ur battery's empty.Plus its not symbian which is a BIG con. The video recording of 7610 much better than s700i. Apart from its camera s700i sucks.NOKIA RULES.

                  s700i is a great model now for the friend nit9999 who asked the s700i can take up to 128mb memory stick duo becayse it is not taking memory stick duo pro.p910i taking memory stick duo pro so can take up to 1gb memory.dont afraid my friend thanks the guard sony ericsson gave to s700i 32mb internal memory so with the 128mb from memory stick and the 32 mb internal you have 160mb memory i think that is good!!!

                        Hi i have some questions about the s700i:-
                        1) My s700i's battery life is only approx. 2 days. Is this normal?

                        2) Can anyone tell me any sites where i can find free themes or games for this phone?

                          Hi all! I have had this set for a few days now n i simply love it. U can actually play videos in a slightly bigger size. You have to download PVP Author and convert movies to mp4 format. 3gp plays in small screen i.e in 176*144 mode, while mp4 plays in 320*240 mode. Does any one know any sites from where i can download java games for my set as mine came with only the tennis game. THNX

                            just bought it. One main con I find:
                            why on earth can't you see your videos in full screen mode? Wasting such a beautiful screen, when It could be a very good video player as well... I wonder what ericson have to say about this, is this going to be fixed with new firmware maybe? anybody maybe with different firmware has achieved viewing in full-screen mode? is this happen on s700?

                                    To lll:
                                    bluetooth is not a main concern for me. So, M900 is still the best. I trade my s700 with m900 coz I hate the swivel screen. It sucks. Stuck half way.
