To expand a little bit on Erics post. Yes it is true that this is a difference. The S710a has EDGE while the S700i does not, but the S700i has the FM radio which S710a does not have. The EDGE on the S710a replaces the FM radio on S700i. The only other differnces are the colors, and the GSM frequencies that the phones operate on. The suffix i on S700 tells us that it is manufactured for International use. It is triple band GSM 900/1800/1900. The suffix a on S710 tells us that it is manufactured for use in Americas. This means it is triple band GSM 850/1800/1900.

Although the S710a will work internationally wherever the 1800 (Europe, Asia) or 1900 (some Caribbean countries) exists, do remember that Cingular charges lots of money to roam internationally. If you buy a pre-paid Sim card over there, do make sure to unlock the phone before leaving. I talked to a Cingular rep. and he says all Cingular phones are now locked.

The S710a was made specifically for the United States ie "a" for Americas. The S700i obviously being the international version. They do this because our GSM network is not as advanced as other countries and needs specific features.

the "i" stands for international and the "a" stands for america. this is cos america uses the 850 mhz instead of the 900mhz what the rest of the world uses

i dunno why do SE tend to come out with two different versions of S700 series... of course the S710 comes with EDGE...and tat's it!! why only in US, where other countries are left with stereotyping S700... wat makes much difference in having two phones??? i really object this as livin outside US made us felt neglected of the functions that those who got it in US... discrimination!!!
