Don´t buy this phone. Freezes a lot, the battery ends really fast (2 days at best, without using any application). The tech support is unreachable. Tried to contact them for about 2 weeks about a problem in the WM6 upgrade with no luck so far.

My M700 works perfect, you known why because I update to last version of ROM and WM6.

- There are the pack which make the phone speaker louder
- Improve the quality of the camera
- Reduce the crash
- Improve the performance of phone

don't buy this phone if you live in the middle east and want integrated arabic. the phone randomly switches b/w arabic and enlglish whilst you type messages. there's like a million other bugs that i can't rememebrs because i got rid of this piece of junk months ago. do yourself a favor and sell this POS, you owe it to yourselves to buy a decent pocket pc.

@cpam: Are you a misguided or are you new to PDAs? M700 is one of the best PDAs out there. You probably didn't know how to use it.

I bought my M700 five months ago, till one month ago everything was doing well. I could use GPS sotware with google maps, make calls, receive calls, radio, mp3, divx, etc.

What bored me is when you synchronize with PC it just join the Outlook email with your phone contacts and MSN contacts. Then when you need to make a call it is crazy. Don't synchronize your contacts.

Another problem is the Wifi isn't useful as when you connect to a home wifi, the softwares on the phone connect to GPRS network besides everything is configured following the manual.

Recently, I had problems that I didn't find any explication yet. Sometimes I can't make a call or look my emails by GPRS.
When I tried to make a call and the phone/SIM Card connects with the phone network, my M700 just freeze and show me a black screen and turn the keyboard lights on.
I need to turn off my M700, removing the battery, and remove the SIM Card, put the battery again, turn it on. It will claim the SIM card. Turn off everything, GSM, Wifi and Bluetooth. Turn it off again, put the SIM card on the slot, and turn on. If I have luck it will work, therefore I need to do this many times till it works.

If you are thinking that could be the SIM card or network mobile problem, be careful, as I tried many different SIM cards and from different companies.. I had this problem in Brazil and I'm having it on New Zealand.

If anyone here know the problem, please let me know.

Best Regards,

Adilson Dias

Well what a surprise, I am still having difficulties with a phone that has no product support!
I am in UK on the O2 network. If I connect to my home WiFi and then start surfing the net the phone immediately starts the gprs connection - thus costing me money. Does anybody have the correct settings or any idea how to stop this. thanks guys.

I am very disapointed with this phone. It does not automatically switch between frequency bands - UK - USA. OFTEN it refuses to read the sim card - making it impossible to connect to the network.
Calls are not connected when others are having no difficulity. I purchased what I thought was a good phone and have ended up with rubbish. I am going to get an iPhone instead I think.
