Cons.

- Comparatively bit small display, yet sufficient.
- Speaker audio quality is more of treble type.
- Slim but not very light weight.
- Bit difficult 2 work with small keypad.
- Great & endurable metallic coat finish.
- For software junkies this isn't Symbian & supports only.
- If you want to install application & games NOT ADVISABLE PHONE.

Pros.

- More importance to creativeness.
- Perfect slim look.
- Battery backup is appreciable.
- Excellent hands-free sound.
- Far better than N72, Nokia Xpress music (failure), Nokia crystal.
- Camera picture on PC resolution is great.
- Very convenient usage.
- Good talk time & standby.
- With Internet T700 turns out to be a mini computer.

N72 & Xpress fans don't rage at me. I am a user of all three models & PERSONALLY suggest T700.
