First off, the phone looks gorgeous—you can really see Sony’s design acumen in the S700. Personally, the P910 looks a little beastly to me, but the S700 is all clean lines and seamless design. They called it a jack-knife design because, like the Samsung p735 and others, the keyboard flips out from behind what looks a LOT like a Sony DSC-P150 face. It really does look like a camera when the keyboard is stowed away, and with good reason. The S700 is Sony Ericsson’s first 1 megapixel digital camera (in the US) and--totally subjective, unscientific opinion to follow—the best of the 1 megapixel cameras I've seen. I’m sorry, but the picture quality on the Motorola V710 and most other 1 megapixel phonecams is shall we say, sub-optimal. Not so the S700. The colors were great, and the picture quality surprisingly clean. You can see where these phones are subsuming low-end camera features.
