Sony Ericsson T700 Unboxing Review

[plemix.com]

As the T-series of Sony Ericsson is slammed into oblivion by the K-series, they have announced the new slim-styled T700 in an attempt to revival its classic T series. With the design which is inspired by T650, and robust set of must-have features that you’d expect from a Sony Ericsson phone. Seems it is simple but functional.

Standard stuff: a Battery, a Charger, a USB cable, a handsfree, CD and Manual.



T700 with a premium metal finish just like T650. Weighing in at just 78 grams and a thickness of just 10mm, the handset fits perfectly in one's hand.



The keypad layout and navigation pad is clean and clear. And so happy to see that Sony Ericsson have ditched the infamous navigation joystick and have replaced it with a sleeker D-pad.



The back of the phone. Very clean design layout: Black (which is made of metal) on Silver (which is made of plastic).



3.2 Mega pixel camera located at the back together with a self-portrait mirror. On the right hand side of the lens, it is the LED flash and the loudspeaker grill.



Here’s the M2 memory card slot which is located at the bottom of the phone.



On the right hand side of the phone, you may see a dual volume / camera control key and a sliding release key for the back cover.



On the left hand side, you may see a microphone pinhole and holes for attaching a neck or wrist strap at the bottom.



The TFT display measures 2" in diagonal which isn't quite what you'd expect in a higher mid-range tier handset. As a simple phone, it‘s still ok~
Here’s the standard Sony Ericsson Menu layout.



The phone has a timeless yet fresh Sony Ericsson design which is thin and reasonably small in size. The UI is user friendly and the quoted battery life is pretty good too with up to 9.5 hours talktime. However, the camera appears to lack autofocus and the small display will be the drawback. As a mid-level phone, T700 is more than enough to meet all your needs in daily with a phone.

i think the upper part looks great, but the keypad looks cheap. Other than that i'm sure it's a nice phone..It'll never be on par with T610's design however

[adam_nguyen]

I am not digging the color combination, anyone else?

[flexster]

nah thats what i mean. The upper part (aluminium) looks great, whereas the lower plastic part look dirty

Thanks for the review Plemix

Im torn between the black on silver and the all silver one which is a nicer look?

Also on your site you seem to be only selling the black on red one?

nice review.. SE should veer away from their M2 cards though.

The t650i's screen was some scratch resistant material, does this have it?

[plemix.com]

I can not be sure but it does not seems like a scratch resistance material on the unit. The black color backdoor part does give a less solid feeling. Well, is a plastic ...... Two things that worth mention when I was discussing at another post. The unit does come with a stereo speaker function, plus the D-Pad does vibrate when browsing through the menu.

Heh, throwback to the T610.

can you take a picture
of the t700 in the dark

so we can see the keypad light

How is the speaker volume of both the earpiece and loudspeaker? The W760 really disappointed me in this aspect. Also, is the vibrate strong or weak?

[Navin50]

i dont have this phone anymore
but i thought the loudspeaker was AMAZING
like it totally suprised me of how loud it was.
i didnt even miss a call in the club, granted my vibrate was on
when i took the phone out of my pocket
i could still hear the mp3 song i had as the ringtone
just a great speaker

[Lance Uppercut]

Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking about returning my SE w760 and getting the T700. Is there anything I should know about the T700? Why did you get rid of yours?
