 Battery Life OK August 26, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've had this phone for about 3 weeks and so far I'm getting great battery life, I haven't really kept track, maybe 5 days or more. I don't have blue tooth and don't make a ton of calls, rarely turn the phone off. I live in the Philadelphia suburbs, not sure what kind of network coverage is around here, I do get the H on the top left.
It's funny, one of the things the salesman said about this phone when I got it was that it had good battery life.
The sound quality is excellent, I like this phone a lot but haven't had time to investigate every feature the way some reviewers have. The display on the front is cool, and hard to see in bright light as others have mentioned.
I like the way it displays the listing of calls, outgoing, incoming and missed.
 Needs De-Branding to be Great! August 19, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I picked up this phone (2 actually) for $50 each after rebates. Call quality if excellent. Has Walkman-like media player for music and video and podcasts, audio books. Megabass for headsets, but no stereo speakers on unit (there are lots of external speakers though). When on 3G you can surf and talk at the same time.
First, make sure you get a unlimited data plan. There is one for $15/mo. (at this time). You can tether with this phone on that plan. Download the PC software from SE's website to sync the phone to your Outlook or other contact list. Can sync with bluetooth or data usb cable (proprietary)
Then decide if you really want TV or XM radio on the phone. The TV is clips few of which are updated daily unless you subscribe, a few music videos etc. XM is a $9.95 subscription. MLB Game Day is also an subscription. If you don't want these things (and will never buy anything from the ATT Media Mall), then spend $16 or so, and debrand the phone and uncover a gem.
Here's a partial list of what you can gain:
1. GPS - I get accuracy to 10 meters, works best in car with charger attached, can drain battery in 2 hours or less. Must use 2007 NavTec Google Map app in firmware, newer Google won't work as well. Locator Services can be left active and minimized so that Google will immediately know where you are. But do it connected to a charger! Also AmAze navigator (the version for the C702, I think) will work on the phone giving you turn by turn navigation for free. (don't look at the phone while driving it's too small)
2. TrackId is now free rather than a subscription. I don't know why anyone would actually pay for this monthly. While I am sometimes curious as to what I'm hearing, I'm not paying $5/mo to find out one or two songs. TrackId works fine on music from classical to country to rap/hiphop, the most abstract techno/disco strangeness you can come up with, and on generic firmware it's free.
3. Blogging from camera as a 'send to blog' (Blogspot.com) uses email account and data plan.
4. RSS Desktop - has as many features as an iPhone's. Auto scroll, configurable updates. easy to add RSS, when browsing the RSS symbol will pop up and using the left soft key, you can add it to the listing. Updates anywhere from every hour to once a week.
5. Podcasts (video and audio) I believe that it may be configurable by the rss feeds rather than the PC Suite sync method, at least my phone seems to update them. PC Suite method will load podcasts daily, and sync with your phone. Needs data cable (about $6 from other Amazon sellers).
6. Exchange ActiveSync without any shortcomings (as have been reported elsewhere), specific Exchange sync.
7. SyncML for everything else. There are reports of it working with MyLife/iLife.
8. Email push client - works with ANY pop or imap server, and can filter out unwanted domains, etc from the 'push'-- you can select domains to accept from. No applications to view attachments, but you could bluetooth or use cable to transfer to a PC/laptop.
9. Network Sharing function, phone can be part of office network via USB or Bluetooth
10. Choice between 'GSM & 3G' vs 'GSM' only is now unblocked, fixing the battery life issues. Even in combined mode, if the phone isn't updating it will drop down to GSM/Edge when not actually using the web. You can also search networks and simply not chose the 3G ATT network too. You'll need SE's webite and tools to reconfigure internet services if you debrand.
11. You won't accidentally open a Internet browser when pressing the central button, it's a Message Center button now. Other buttons and shortcuts are also rearranged in a more logical fashion, camera button changes to MediaNet browser and.
There's OperaMini for this phone, Yahoo Go!, AmAze, etc.
FM radio needs antennae phone jack to work, but if you want to use your standard stereo headsets you'll need it too, to connect with. Stereo Bluetooth profiles, Bluetooth remote controls, etc.
Voice controls only for handsfree units, multiple commands per contact, multiple phone numbers per contacts, multiple addresses per contact. Just like Outlook or any other full blown contact manager. Contacts can have own ringtone and photo.
I don't like that it's hard to find appointments and you have to view each day to see a list, rather than a consolidated list of the appointments in order. Tasks as nice, multiple alarm timers.
Generally its a very nice phone, battery issues aside. Better, IMHO, unbranded. (Oh, and it's SE Java8 platform, so no MS Mobile here.)
 LOW BATTERY!!! July 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
LOW BATTERY! This is the almost daily alert from this phone. I use this phone for little other than the phone service; no internet, no games, a few pics now and again. If I forget to charge it EVERY night the battery will die on me the next day! I bought this phone because I was so pleased with the SE Z500, what a let-down, so much for brand loyalty. I will never by a phone new to the market again! I will wait for someone else to learn the hard lessons. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE, stay away unless you plan to carry around a charger or extra battery.

There is obviously a problem with the original battery. See the forum on att.com. I called SEMC and requested a replacement battery, which they sent promptly for no charge and with minimal fuss. The original battery life was about 2 days. With the new battery I am at one week and counting. Mom has the same phone and she's at about 3.5 days between charges. I'm going to call and request a new battery for her phone as well.
Battery Life? June 8, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I too am extremely upset over the battery life. I don't use the phone a lot, but need one in emergency for my 90 yr old mother and sister on Dialysis,so I REALLY wanted the long battery life. I like the phone, its petty and takes great pictures. I can hear very well on it too. We previously had a Nokia and my husband upgraded to another Nokia, and the battery life is VERY good. (BETTER THAN MINE) I paid $175.00 more,and got less...as far as battery life. My phone has a louder ring tone though. I have had mine less than 2 months, and already exchanged it once. Probably will be switching to the upgraded free phone..by Nokia
