S700i : any opinions yet ?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.ericsson (More info?)

I'm interested in only 1 thing, and that is how bulky is it ? I owned a Z600
before and got rid of it because of the bulky size.

The rest of the specs of the S700i are ok with me.

Heh.

Considering there is no way to protect the display from errant touches,
I don't think that's such a bad thing that it doesn't have a touch screen!

This is why my Nikon E5700 is always in my bag if I want to take
pictures. I do use the camera now and then though on my K700 and 6600.
It's just a matter of how badly I need the image.

I use my on-handset camera most often at work, capturing whiteboards!

Yeah, I suppose that's true. I never liked having the flip off on my
P900 though. But it was the only way it'd fit into a Vaja case. Boo!

Though if SE made the UI more "finger friendly" and didn't require a
stylus, that would be pretty slick on a device like the S700.
