Sony Ericsson S710a
real information
I am going to get this phone and would really like some true feedback from people who actually have and use this phone. How durable is this phone. How loud are the ringers on this phone. How does the " speaker phone" sound on this phone sound- clearity. How do the pics and vids turn out on the phones camera. How is the battery life- both talk time and stand-by time. And the signal strength on this phone. That is all my questions for. Thanks for everybodies help.
...
ive been using this phone for a while now and have a good insight on the phone. To me the phone is durable and well built. Its kinda big but u get used to it. The speakerphone sucks..its not that clear and unlike the nokias. The pics/vids r very good for a 1.3 mp phone. The battery will last for 3 days if u dont play with the camera and mp3 and go on the net alot. but if u do like me i use the phone for 2 full days and i have to charge it. Signal is good in LA area.
...
thanks for your information. Is the "speaker phone" really that bad, same with battery. Because i really wanted this phone.
...
I love this phone, i use it to tether to my laptop for sorta fast internet access.
the battery sucks! 😲
the speaker phone is OK, can't use while driving, but ok for quieter times.
Camera is good for a phone, cool factor is HIGH 🙂

how bad is the battery, is not worth getting the phone because of it. thanks for your input.

The Battery: It's not a deal killer for me, just an irritant. If you buy extra chargers, one for home, one for work, and one in the car NO problem. I can go 4 days between charging if I don't use the internet too much, and only have a couple of shortish phone calls per day.
The cool factor seems to beat the short battery time. 😎 The quality of the phone calls is also an irritant, I've heard that Sony is never as good as Nokia, and I'd say this is true in my experience, but I don't think vie ever dropped a call or misunderstood anyone, it's just not as clear as my old Nokia.

I had so many issues with it, Cingular swapped it for brand new RAZR, so I got real lucky with that.
...
thats to bad because the razr sucks. i would not get that phone if it was free.
...
I had a silver one as well as the s710. There is absolutely no question which the better PHONE is. The RAZR blows it away.
...
no way is the razr better than the s710a. the razr cant shoot video or hold mp3's. and the build quality just plain sucks.
...
You missed the operative word. I said PHONE. It's one of the best built phones on the market. I've read some of your posts on other forums. I know your knowledge is very limited.
...
yea theres no way the razr beats this phone, i know plenty of people who are unhappy with the razr, ive seen a few unhapy with the s710a, but not many
...
Hands down, the RAZR is a better PHONE. I have both, so I can make a fair comparison. Until you own both, you can't.

I have had the phone since launch day. The ringer on the phone is ridiculously loud. It even has a warning when you turn the ringer up that it could damage hearing. MP3 transfer was easy on bluetooth for ringtones. But you do have to put the file into sounds and not on the memory stick duo.
Speaker phone is nothing spectacular. But with a bluetooth headset the phone is amazing. I am using both a motorola hs810 and the Oakley RAZRWIREs.
Now for the real reason you should look into this phone is the technology that is packaged along with it. The bluetooth is above and beyond any other phone I have owned (mpx220, v551, v600). It actually has a remote for media player and desktop applications. Using the crosspad to control your on screen...

kool thanks for the information. i was just at my loca cingular store and was trying one out, and the OS was kind of slow. is there any way to fix for free or cheap- can i do it at the store. thanks again.
...
I've tried to sell you mine with the updated software which has 3 hours of talk time. You don't seem very interested.
...
Hey, what bluetooth attachment do you use to get your phone as a remote for your computer.
...
what bluetooth device do you need to use to be able to use it as a remote for your media player and pointer on your comp?
...
i bought a cheap usb dongle from Compusa 19.00
works just fine,
rather cool and fun to use!

Im sorry, i am new to bluetooth, and i went to compusa.com, and i can only seem to find usb attachments.

here's one today at woot:
http://woot.com/ »
any will do, just a usb bluetooth adapter.
Now, it sometimes takes a couple tries to get it to work, but never more than 3 attempts, and when its Identified as a device, it stays good throughout the duration of use.
I don't know if that is typical of Bluetooth problems or specific to this phone.
