Sony Ericsson K700i

Hi there!

I am considering buying this phone from Virgin Mobile (I've got discount so It will cost me less than the published price). Is this phone any good? Is the camera as good as it sounds and is it worth the money?

Your help would be appreciated.

    I have one, the camera is pretty good although it's not something I use often as I carry a digital camera around most of the time. Mine was provided by work as a business phone it's not the best I've had, it doesn't syncronise as well as Nokia's I have had in the past. The other problem for me is the battery life is not as good as I would like, I use bluetooth in the car and it canes the battery, the charging port is fiddly too..

    if the Sony k700i is no good, any idea about the motorola l6?

  • i'd avoid the k700i as the battery life is terrible, especially if you use it for bluetooth etc.

    no idea about the l6, sorry.

    maybe you could find a review online for the phone you are looking for?

    I haven't had a Motorola since the original V series (?) about 6 years ago so sorry I can't comment. I didn't say the SE was no good just not the best for a business phone, I know people who love it!

    I know you didn't say it was no good, but I do need a phone that is reliable and if the battery is likely to go belly up I will have to find another phone. Many thanks for your clear succinct advice/opinion. Thanks also to skintscotsman for the review idea but I can never find suitable review sites.
