Sony Ericsson S700

S700

The Sony Ericsson S700 was introduced by Sony Ericsson in 2004 as their flagship model.

Sony Ericsson designed this phone in the style of their acclaimed Japanese-market only SO505is with its rotating form factor and dual-front design, with the back styled like a digital camera and normal phone functions in the front.

It is probably the first GSM phone under the Sony Ericsson brand to be engineered primarily by Sony instead of Ericsson. The 1.3 megapixel CCD camera sensor with 8x zoom is similar to the one used in Sony's Cyber-Shot line of cameras and it supports Memory Stick Duo for external storage. There is also a Java engine by Japan's Hi Corp integrated into the phone for 3D graphics support.

There are currently three versions of the phone:

S700i: GSM 900/1800/1900 for all regions except the Americas and Chinese-speaking nations

S700c: GSM 900/1800/1900 for Chinese-speaking nations with Chinese keypad and language

S710a: GSM 800/1800/1900 with EDGE (replacing FM stereo) for Cingular in the USA
