Thanks Rod, Shay, Kelly and Brett for the thoughts. Based on what you've said so far, I'm leaning towards remaining in the Sony Ericsson camp, 'examining the K700i more closely. Rod, are you considering the K750i over the K700 as it has a better battery life and smaller size?

I wonder if the K700 has the T630's truncated sms issue.

Cheers,

Ah, there's nothing like observations borne out of 1st hand experience to fine tune a

From what I have been told by others on this list, the K750i is the 700 on steroids :-) Better camera, battery life and the opportunity to have up to 2Gig storage space. For me, that could *almost* eliminate carrying around an iPod Mini and my 2 Megapixel Canon IXUS camera (although the shots from that camera a great!). If anything, I can go out and still listen to music or take the odd photo. My 3650 fits that bill now, but it has a VGA standard camera with no flash. Once I know when the K750i is out (2 weeks according to the sales chicky at Telstra Booragoon), the 3650 will be up for sale or on ebay.

On another side note, those who are on contract with Telstra and are only a month out from finishing, be very aware when Telstra call. They come across all nice and offer to lower your monthly bill because you are not spending enough to warrant the higher contract. I thought, wow, they really are listening to the market. No. When they lower your monthly bill they also lock you in for another year. It wasn't a call to be nice, caring company. It was a call to make sure you don't jump ship to a better deal!

Rod!
