Not with a 3510i, but in someone's hands. From Mobile-review.

that looks cool, but the keypad doesnt have the same quality look as the rest of the phone does it?

[sir50pence]

I just noticed how dull coloured the keyboard is I wish I could get the black S700a.

[tedwardo]

yeh, it unbeautifies (sp?, is it even a real word?) the phone greatly, also is the phone really thick because in pics it looks big

[Rahulk]

The keypad is a bit ugly!!!

Compare for your self. It does not look much bigger or thicker than a T610 (scroll down a bit and you'll see a comparison between S700, P900, T610 and T68).

T610 (HxWxD) = 102x44x19 mm
S700 (HxWxD) = 107.5x49x24.5 mm

Size difference (HxWxD) = 5.5x5x5.5 mm

im really not taht icky about the size its just the size comparitively to its swing mechanism, its a bit awkward to be swinging a big part of the phone down. i think it would be better if it was a slider but same size. it wouldnt matter as much.

[tedwardo]

thanks arne it looks about the same size but has a larger screen. i saw a review saying that the p900 and s700 screens were the same size (in pixels) but they obviously arent what does the pixel dimensions actually mean?

That number tells you total number of visible pixles on a screen and has nothing to do with a screen's physical size (measured in inch). What differs between S700 and P900 screens is the pixle size and/or number of pixles per inch (or dots per inch - dpi - as it is normaly refered to).

Smaller screens with same number of pixles as a larger one will produce sharper pictures (not necessarily noticible by a human eye).

S700 looks so sexy, I'm probaly going to sell my K700i when I get it.

[mR_CaESaR]

yep i can't wait for the S700i, i'll trade my K700i in then get the S700i, then the F700i (if its real) - unless of course nokia brings a very nice looking symbian bar phone thats the size of the K700i ;) :D

[tedwardo]

how much will it cost?

[Rahulk]

[FONT=Arial][COLOR=Black]

The price for the S700 is most likly going to be in the region of 350-550.

It should be in released by October hopefully, but on the other hand SE do have a history of delaying thing.

Soon,

RK :cool:

[Arne Anka]

how much will it cost?

The price in Sweden currently is around 640 USD (25% VAT included).

[kyoots]

arne, s700 is already available in sweden?

[cdover]

arne, s700 is already available in sweden?

I think that's just the pre-order price. 25% tax is expensive :eek: ...

[kyoots]

oh i see... that'll be around PhP 36K (25% tax included).. whoa! almost as expensive as a p900?!!! at 10% tax, it'll be as expensive as a 7610... from the reviews - it's well worth it - hope it does perform as it should...

[Arne Anka]

I think that's just the pre-order price. 25% tax is expensive :eek: ...

Yes, it is pre-order price and yes 25 % VAT is expensive (Sweden is known to have among the highest taxes in the world).

[cdover]

Yes, it is pre-order price and yes 25 % VAT is expensive (Sweden is known to have among the highest taxes in the world).

Gee, that must suck. Singapore I think is 5%? But I know buying cars are expensive, like 300% tax or something:(. Anyway, is there a pre-order price for the P910?

[Arne Anka]

Gee, that must suck.

Yeh, that sucks big time. :mad:

Singapore I think is 5%?

We have 6% on books. Unfortenately i don't read much. :(

But I know buying cars are expensive, like 300% tax or something:(.

That must suck too. :eek:

Anyway, is there a pre-order price for the P910?

Yes, around 710 USD (VAT included), delivery October (S700 delivery September). P910 is actually around 180 USD cheaper than P900 (seem like SE wants people to buy P910 rather than P900).

[tedwardo]

england has 17.5% VAT

does anyone know an english price for the s700?

[Rahulk]

Around 400GBP including vat + p&P

camera buffs would choose s700...pda lovers - the P910. come to think of it, add a few bucks to the s700 base price and you get a smartphone-PDA (less the 1.3MP camera and the "looks").

few bucks? how much will that be? i think the difference would be about S$300-400 (US$175-235 or 9,000-12,000 pesos). oh im confused what to choose! if only the p910 has a 1MP camera then i would go for it!

[sir50pence]

I think in england there will be a big difference in price betewn the s700 and the p910 well atleast £100.

[Arne Anka]

Yes, around 710 USD (VAT included), delivery October (S700 delivery September).

Price for P910 just changed to around 875 USD (previously it was probably a typo in the shop). Delivery date still same.

[sir50pence]

[cough] I'm not buying that!

[Arne Anka]

[cough] I'm not buying that!

Buying what, the P910, that the price is 875 USD (25% VAT included) or that the price has been changed ? :confused:

[cdover]

I think the P910. I'm not sure whether sir50pence was being sarcastic - meaning he will buy the phone, or if it was more like a surprisment (not a word) - like choke What?? I'm not buying that. Hehe, who knows...

[kyoots]

still s700 for me guys. hope they'll sell the s710 instead.

[tedwardo]

whats the difference?

and i know this has nothing to do with anything, but whats RF?

[kyoots]

s710 has EDGE

[cdover]

s710 has EDGE

Yup. And is supposed to be only sold in the US...

[kyoots]

why do u think so? EDGE should have a good market in asia...

[cdover]

why do u think so? EDGE should have a good market in asia...

Actually I'm not sure...Only heard it :).

[stumpy_bear]

The S700 is almost the same height and width as the Nokia 7610 and a little thinner than the P900, it weighs the same as the N-gage. But im not worried i would rather have features over looks, and there is very little the S700 cant do!

[prateek]

hey in the looks department s700 is amazin and one reason im gonna take it the swivel design(eye catchin)

[3ple4]

S700 same height as the 7610? U mean when the keypad is exposed right? But when it's not, it's heaps shorter than the 7610.

[sir50pence]

I think the P910. I'm not sure whether sir50pence was being
sarcastic - meaning he will buy the phone, or if it was more like a surprisment (not a word) - like choke What?? I'm not buying that. Hehe, who knows...

The last one!

[eaniban]

we even do not have EDGE here yet in singapore if im not mistaken.....so no point of putting it in s710i.....s710a shld be fine

[Rahulk]

Well

EDGE is out in india...

SO YA

[sir50pence]

It would have been better if the S700 was 3G.

[kyoots]

maybe another version of the S700 is 3G - like the SO505iS

[cdover]

Yeah...that phone's so cool (along with it's brothers) :). Too bad it's not GSM. :(

[shaheen]

the s700 is just not working for me. 2 reasons

1.the huuge size it is when u unswivel it.
2.only can take picture when phone is sideways and swivel is closed( i like impromptu shots rather then looking all professional)

The S700 looks ugly in that picture!

[shaheen]

aaaaaaaaaawwww....hell no im getting after that pic....its almost p900 size...closed! i cant even imagine how big its gona be when i have it in my hand to play with.. no no no no no way.

[sir50pence]

OH no I just noticed that shaheen, It is the ****ing same size as the P910 when it's closed!

[cdover]

OH no I just noticed that shaheen, It is the ****ing same size as the P910 when it's closed!

Which actually isn't TOO big, the P9xx is just really wide which makes it seem huge. My measurments say the P900 is just shy of 11cm tall, however considering that the S700 is ONLY closed, times that by two and you get 22cm long :S.

[shaheen]

dude, for a smartphone is excusable, not for a phone like the s700. its barely got any functions in it that makes it that big

[Arne Anka]

Pictures can be very deceptive. If compared with big phones, it will look big. If compared with small phones, it will look small. Compare the picture above with the one in the link I have provided (scroll a bit down). There S700 is compared with T610, T68 and P900. In that comparition S700 does no look big at all.

http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=380300&perpage=15&highlight=\+s700%20\+and%20\+size&pagenumber=2

P900 (WxHxD) = 57x115x24 mm 150g
T610 (WxHxD) = 44x102x19 mm 95g
S700 (WxHxD) = 49x107.5x24.5 mm 137g (open I would guess its around 180 mm high since the upper part is anchored close to the center).

S700/P900 size difference (WxHxD) 13x13x5 mm 13g
S700/T610 size difference (WxHxD) 5x5.5x5.5 mm 42g

Size wise S700 is closer to T610 than P900 (in closed mode). Weight wise its closer to
P900 than T610.

[kyoots]

wait wait is that a joystick in the s700? i thought it has a d-pad?

i never really thought it looks like joystick until i saw it in the pics posted by chucky...yet im still not convinced that it's a joystick... we must feel it to know how it really works...

Oh okay then. Um, what's the thing in the middle? The select button?

[shaheen]

i dont think its a dpad, cause ive seen the middle part alone move without the circle. could be a dpad +joystick combo

[Arne Anka]

Perhas it's a combination of joystick and dpad. :D

personally i don't mind s700's size...well with its size it's got a bigger screen and better camera features than the 'hurriedly released" 7610. everyone's waiting for this phone. ;)

[Arne Anka]

I told you, the S700 is chunky


T610 (HxWxD) = 102x44x19 mm
S700 (HxWxD) = 107.5x49x24.5 mm
P900 (HxWxD) = 115x57x24 mm
N7610 (HxWxD) = 108.6x53x18.7

S700/T610 diff (HxWxD) = 5.5x5x5.5 mm
S700/P900 diff (HxWxD) = 8.5x8x0.5 mm
S700/N7610 diff (HxWxD) = 1.1x4x5.8 mm

Size wise S700 is close to:

1. N7610
2. T610
3. P900

Concidering the size of the screen, S700 is small (or do you know a phone with same or larger screen size in smaller package ?). People choose S700 because of its looks and screen size. People wanting small phones (as you I assume) usually are satisfied with small screens as well (which are not that fun when it comes to web, video and picture viewing).

Realy, nothing to argue about.

[stumpy_bear]

Im sorry u got me all wrong! i was just making an example of the size of the phone!
I am really looking foward to this phone, i think it has everything u could need from a phone and i really really hate phones with small screens! Unlike most people my age, i prefer function over form, and much prefer this feature packed phone than a boring nokia! I agree with u in saying it is a very small package for the resolution of the screen, and i cant wait to boast to my friend who has the samsung d410/d415!

[tedwardo]

thats the problem...

[Arne Anka]

Sorry. Just got tired of people complaining over the S700 size, when in fact the size is good concidering the screen size.

[stumpy_bear]

Yes i agree

[kyoots]

i think it has the best size for a good quality digicam/phone
