Sony Ericsson K700 Review - Internet / Storage / Connectivity / Conclusion


Internet


Sony Ericsson K700 TVThe K700 has a built-in WAP 2.0 browser and displays pages rendered in xHTML format and CSS. It also supports GPRS 4+2 for increased bandwidth capabilities over standard CSD networks. Most of the features are commonplace. And only so much can be improved upon.


Storage


The phonebook capacity can store up to 510 contacts, while SMS, MMS, email, and notes have a maximum file size limits. And the amount of shared memory available is a large 32 MB.

For smaller file sized features such as pictures, ring tones, messaging or games, the K700 has more than enough. However as mentioned earlier, with the lack of expandable slots, the K700's added features are wasted. Features such as MP3 playback or video storage require amounts of memory larger than what the K700 has internally.

Connectivity


Connecting the K700 shouldn't be difficult with the vast amount of choices. Pictures, ring tones, themes, and games can be download through Bluetooth, infrared, or data cable. Conversely, photos and video taken with the K700 can be transferred to a PC by those same means.

The phone also supports all the latest PAN (Personal Area Network) and OTA (Over-The-Air) technologies for synchronization. For synchronizing between the K700 and a PC, the phone is also SyncML compatible. SyncML is the common language for synchronizing all devices and applications over any network. With SyncML any personal information, such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contact information and other relevant data, will be consistent, accessible and up to date, no matter where the information is stored.

The most interesting feature is the presence of Bluetooth HID (Human Interface Devices) profiles. Once the phone is connect to a PC through Bluetooth, it becomes essentially a combined keyboard and mouse. By assigning specific combinations of computer keyboard key presses to each key on the phone keypad, users can control computer applications with the phone as a remote.

HID configuration files can be downloaded into the phone using the methods stated earlier. Configuration files are needed for keypad controls of individual computer application. These consist of an XML file for the keypad and an image for the display. Users can modify the files themselves on their computers. A few configuration files are pre-loaded in the phone that enables the user to navigate on a computer desktop, control presentations, and media players.


Conclusion


As can be seen, the K700 is a very capable device. It does everything that you can expect from a cellular phone and much more. However, with competition from Nokia, the K700 will have to be at the proper price point if it has to win against the Nokia 6230.

While offering some innovative features in a very compact case, the only drawback, if you can call it one, is the absence of a memory expansion slot. The K700 will be released by June in most parts of Europe and the expected price is 375-400 Euros ($450 - $475) without a plan. Sony Ericsson plans to release the K700 in North American sometime in Q2 2004.
