I'm in the USA and I want to buy this phone or the s710a for use on T-Mobile's network. I know the major difference between the s700i and s710a is EDGE... is the EDGE feature really worth getting. I don't think t-mobile even supports EDGE yet. Also, buy buying the s700i you'll have a true international phone - right?

Some of the new Nokia phones feature a symbian OS. I understand there is a programme you can download which enables the user to block any unwanted numbers (not sure if that's just with text or calls too, but still is useful). The Sony Ericsson S700 doesn't have symbian, so I was wondering if anyone knows if it has a function which allows blocking of certain numbers (or at least is able to download a working program which will do this)?

reply 2 SHERMAN :
-How fast you can take photos?
prob 2 secs, but once u get used 2 this fone 1 sec should b enuf- n they got a burst mode as well tho..if u wanted 2 get 4 images at 1 sec, u can do it

- How do the photos come in the night?
well..probabli 2 meters away..but u can use the night mode tho..the light isnt necessary

4 the ppl out there- if u r meant 2 catchin up with the latest mobile fone technology, forget it(except if u r as rich as bill gates obviusli..) s700 was released nearli the end of 2004, n by the earli 0f 2005, SE alrdy announced w800 k750. By the time w800 n k750 released, 3 months later or so, there might b a fone integrated with a 3.2 MPx camera ~

I forgot to add one more question:
-How fast you can take photos?
(I mean how many seconds from the time you took one photo to be able to take another one).
- How do the photos come in the night?
(does the flash catch up at least 2 meters?)

First of all the price for this 1.3 megapix.
(without optical zoom) is too high (eventhough you can get it relatively cheaper at $480 on www.no-air-time.com , comparing to other websites).

Secondly, can someone stop giving twisted nonsense reviews and tell something decent about the must features of the phone and camera such as:
-Sound Quality (not of the ring tones-duh!)
-Battery life (can you take 30 photos and talk on the phone 3 hours? -all in one day if the battery fully charged).
-Reception quality
-Convinience of menu
