This phone pretty much has everything you need. The MP3s sound great with the head phones (mediocre on the speakers). The camera is awesome as is the screen. I haven't had any problems with the menus.The only drawback is the memory available. The onboard memory (32MB) can fill up really fast with pics and MP3s (especially if you want to use them for your contacts picture and ringtones). Their is an expansion card but it only supports Memory Stick Duo of which the greatest capacity is 128 MB. There is no way to get around this and no plan to do so in the future (according to Sony). However, with the appropriate tools, an 128 MB card can hold up to 40 full length songs. I just carry a couple cards in my case loaded with different songs. Inconvenient yes, but workable still.

Sony Ericsson S710a: Reviewed Like a Winner

First things first: how do you get a name as cool as Sony Ericsson President’s Urban Gillstrom, short of starring in your own 2D Japanese fighting game? All I’ve got is this alliterative one that makes me sound like heading…

I’d still rather have a full-alphabet keyboard, but I’m picky that way. Plus, after one year, I still suck at typing text messages on a numeric keypad…

Been following this phone for awhile (from when the international model was released as S700i).

Couple of notes from my research…
1) menu and CPU tends to lag(delay) 2) those who are afraid the phone is too big (like me) need not worry. It isn’t TOO big (i held it at a store) and the fact the most of the surface area is taken up by the beautiful sceen makes the size eazy to overlook 3) the review above doesn’t mention how expensive this phone is. although I have not seen official US prices, expect it to be at least $400-450.

Hope this helps people that are interested.

There’s only one thing missing: The Apple iTunes Phone Edition thats built into the new motorola phone. But as I own an iPod, the S710 will most likely be the successor to my T610.

i’ve been carrying around the S700 (same thing with no EDGE) for awhile no and this is an awesome, awesome camera with a phone. I have had no problems with it after 2 months of heavy use.
