I think this phone is not intended for our country(Philippines).
If you browse the the date settings or area you can't find Philippines
but rather use China or Hongkong. Another problem there will be
no network signal is if you turn off the 3G and use GSM only. If
you are going to use GSM and 3G it will just give you a very low
network signal. Your signal will be lost inside buildings. This
phone is not recommended.

G700 is a good smartphone. I been using it since 5 mth ago. The
phone is really good indeed. BUT, I already sick and tired with
this phone. The main problem that keeps annoying me: 1: Task Manager,
pop up whenever i was texting or calling someone. And also, its
so annoying while browsing the internet. 2: Touchscreen malfunction.
I think UIQ3 system in this phone is uselees. I can't write any
note, even to scroll the main menu 3: Camera doesn't work properly,
I use different size of M2 card from 256MB to 1GB but still, i have
to pull it out and re-insert it again. That all i have to do whenever
i wish take a photo. I have tried some different brand of M2 card
and Im still facing the same problem..:-( 4:Dump file created, should
I have this kind of useless thing? and how about my internal memory?
I wish this phone was built with advanced technology but it seem
like i have to turn myself to others...totally S@#$k

Never buy this phone. Ever. Stupid thing shuts down by itself atleast
5 times a day on average. The net connection is always slow. Now
the loudspeaker has stopped working. If I could, I would throw this
phone down and stamp on it till it is smashed to tiny little pieces!
Trash. That is all this phone is.

after using this phn for 6 mnths i've to admit dat dis is a piece
of junk and it was my worst mistake to buy this phone being tempted
by its touchscreen without knowing anythng abt it.just a couple
of mnths later it stopped working.i rushed to se care and aftr 38
days i got my phn back! now the touchscreen again refuses to work-anywhere
i tap the screen,it opens task manager.besides this it has an awful
speaker.music is loud but sounds husky at top volume with xtra treeble.it
runs on the useless UIQ3 system which puts the phn to hang a lot.every
now and then it restarts sayin dump file created or application
closed etc.phn memory gradually increases without utilising it anywhere.so
i have to reset it every month losing all msgs stored(i have the
back up of contact or notes on d mem crd).through hdphn music is
mediocre as it belongs to sony and should have a better quality.the
only good thing about dis phn is it has a good camera and the flash
is also very powerfull.without 3 g network net is very slow as it
doesn't have edge.sound of earpiece is so low that u may not even
hear what d caller is sayin.one of my friend also has this useless
creation and he faces the same problems too as i stated.i was a
die hard fan of sony but after using this it will be a long time
untill i buy sony again.with a big smile i want to smash ths phn
by thor's hammer for wasting my money and time.

I like this phone but am not happy with the clarity of the speaker.
Often sounds like poor reception etc. Have had it in to the supplier
several times but no real improvement. Otherwise phone can be slow
but I like the diary and write mode. Don't need a lot of the facilities
but what's new, this applies to probably 80% of phone users! Anybody
had the same speaker problem?

this phone is good, but you might as well get the SE g900. better
design, 2 different colours, better features. (e.g. a 5mp camera
and touch autofocus) However, both phones are really good. i like
the fact they both have the option of using the touchscreen, or
using the phone like a normal non-touchscreen phone. Great value

Do not buy this phone model. I had only bought it for 1 year and
the touchscreen is malfunctioning. It was still working until it
suddenly stop having the touch function. After reading what can
be done to "unlock" and "re-enable" the touchscreen, I realised
alot of people are having the same problem as me and they had a
worse experience as their phone are less than a year old and Ericsson
took forever to get the touchscreen repaired. If you are to avoid
any heartache regarding a newly purchased phone being spoilt, I
suggest you avoid the phone until Ericsson managed to find what
is wrong with the phone's touchscreen and get a new batch of lasting
phones out.

My mom got this for my birthday and it was fantastic at first, i
got a lot of attention but now it spontaneously restarts, sometimes
it just wont start and i've notced before that the camera wouldnt
activate or an application would freeze on me.. it lags, its slow,
camera was good, and i loved the notepad application. if it was
flawlessly engineered and had no mehanical problems it would have
been my last phone.

And the keys get scratched very easily, making it look old and tattered

It is a very nice phone.. Very easy to use.. Excellent music and
camera.. And am in love for it.. Features are superb.. But somehow
it brings with it a lot of problems.. 1. Touchscreen stopped working..
Where ever you point task manager opens.. Got it repaired once..
Now again.. 2. Some prob with bluetooth.. Sometimes you just cant
send anythin.. If these probs can be fixed its a really amazing
phone.. Now even with my touchscreen malfunctioning, its comfortable
to use still.. Gotta see wat the sony pple ll do this time.. Finally
the advice is dont buy this phone.. Think its production is also
stopped by now..

LOCAL SERVICE CENTER. ON VERY FIRST DAY WHEN I OPENED BOX IN HOME,
CAME TO KNOW SPEAKER IS NOT WORKING, WHEN I RUSHED TO SERVICE CENTER
THEY TOLD IT DOESN'T COME UNDER WARRANTY. So i had to pay S$25 to
replace speaker. After 7 days it is getting restarted. Every minute

the last. I am going to switch over to NOKIA again. I am going take
a heavy hammer and break this handphone in to pieces peacefully...

Hi, I have also the same problem. Especially the stand-by memory
is increasing around 90-95 kb for every photo taken. Even if u delete
the photo, stand by memory wont decrease. Once stand-by reaches
1MB, after that it will be increasing in the range of 2MB, 3 MB
and so on for 10 photos taken. U just check it whether is it increasing
like this for u also. When I surrounded my handset in SE service
center they couldnt solve ;-( Regards Deiva

I just bought my phone 2 months ago. At first I thought it would
probably be my last phone, I thought it was because of its candy
bar make, the large toughscreen, properly set-up keys, 3.2MP camera
and the notepad. I got greatly disappointed when this mobile phone
suddenly restarted without me clicking anything. what made it even
worst, was that it would never stop restarting. it had been open
for several seconds then restart again. It says, Application Error
e_sock_smswap; reason code: User; 21. If you guys there know anything
on how to troubleshoot this.. please please help (also to those
from Sony Ericsson). This is a far worst experience ever with a
Sony Ericsson phone.

Hi No doubt the mobile phone G700 is excellent But I am facing a
problem in my cell phone Sony Ericsson G700. The problem is that
it is showing wrong memory..the phone memory is getting used up
day by day as i'm using my cell, whether i listen to songs or i
click photographs or use any other application!! There are different
areas where the memory is used up in the phone memory like: Media
files Camera Messaging Contacts Standby etc.. The camera memory
is used up when i click photos and with it Stand by memory also
fills but when i delete those photographs camera memory becomes
zero but Standy still shows the same incremented value!!! The problem
in my cell is that this standby memory fills. I'm not able to figure
out where is this memory utilised?? The memory fills up gradually
and consequently the whole 160 mb (phone memory) gets exhausted
within no time. Kindly solve this problem.
