You know, I am a slow typist when it comes to typing SMS on my phone. When I have my Pocket PC around, I usually pulled the SMS from my phone via Bluetooth, and reply from there. It’s much faster to type using keyboard in Pocket PC than using only ten buttons on my phone. Moreover, my K700i could only store 70 messages, while the space in my Pocket PC is virtually limitless. I could easily have tenth of thousands of SMS in my Pocket PC and it won’t even take 5 MB of space.
Another advantage, as I have realized recently that by doing so, I could have the archive of all my SMS without bothering to delete any of them. So, after I started having this habit of storing all my SMS, it came to me that I have, as of today from 10 January 2005, 1476 messages in my Inbox, and 1526 messages in my Sent Items. That’s a whooping 3000 messages in less than six months. Oh, by the way, the software I am using in my Pocket PC, indovisiSMS, is developed by Indonesian too, and free for fellow Indonesian.

Mid 2004, Sony Ericsson launched Sony Ericsson K700i phone. The following month, July 2004, the Japanese-Swede manufacturer stylish K700i camera-phone, an update to then highly-successful T610/T630, soared into 3rd place in CNET’s July 2004 hottest phones list. It received CNET’s Editor’s Choice too.
The following month, Nokia took a back seat as Sony Ericsson K700i took the coveted first spot. It never looked back for so many months. September, October, November, December, January 2005, February, and March has passed, but K700i still maintained its position in the first place. CNET’s April hottest phones list was out, as every good things must come to an end, and so K700i is finally dethroned to fourth spot, overtaken by Nokia 3230, O2 Xphone II, and Panasonic X800. Seven months, that was certainly the longest time I could recall a phone maintained a first spot in CNET’s hottest phone list, showing how successful K700i phone is in Singapore.
I bought this phone on December 2004 to replace my T610, and I am truly happy with using this phone. Dropped it NINE times (yes, I counted!!!!), and it is still a charm, despite scratches at its back, occassional reboot, and missing “QuickShare” label. I can say there is no phone in the market now significantly better that can really justify an upgrade yet. Oh, I do hope this phone can lasts me until December 2006, when my current’s Starhub contract expires. We’ll see.
Now, who here is using, have used, or planning to use Sony Ericsson K700i too?
