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.

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.

I just got my G700 2 days ago. The looks is cool and the keypad is fantastic. But I find that the inbterface is abit irritatig due to there are a lot of repeating links and shortcut here and there, which i think it is not neccessary. Besides that, if i am sending few songs from other phone into G700, the files is sent as a beam msg, and I ahve to save the song individually into my folder! I am quite dissapointed about this functio. In addition, there are no msg counter function for this phone.

I hear irritable low frequency sound whenever I place the phone close to my ear. But if the phone is on a standby mode, it's gone. Is this normal or not?

Whenever I unlocked the phone and put it close to my ear, I will hear a very irritating low frequency sound. Is this normal? But, when the phone is on lock mode, you don't hear the irritating sound. I will appreciate if you can give some advise on how to turn-off the sound, otherwise, I'll bring the phone back to the dealer. Thanks!!!! Other than that, the phone is great!

The battery does not have to be charged for 10 hours. It is recommended to charge the battery for 4 hours the 1st 4 times with the phone off.

The sound quality of this phone is very good. The supplied headset is pretty average and is the standard SE headset that is supplied with the non-Walkman phones. Getting the HPM-70 or something like that can really transform this phone into a jukebox. The Walkman 3 player is also nice and can entirely be operated with finger tips like the iPhone.
The camera on this phone is quite good. However the colours are a bit exaggerated though.
The phone is also very slim and light, making it a good choice for women and girls.
Battery life is unimpressive though. Lasts for just one and a half day.
UI is slow. Period.
Notes app does not work in the phone that I have. Don't exactly know what the problem is. Trying to open it always gives the message "In use". Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
The pre-installed Blackberry connect software caused the phone to freeze every time. So had to uninstall it.
If anyone has anymore queries, ask them here. I'll try my best to answer them. :)
