This will be my next phone, well unless they can do it with a clamshell finish with the same screen size, slimmer, lighter and with a cigarette lighter..... then I won't, but up to now this is mine, the nokia '7700'

yea it looks like a pretty good phone, i just hear that its MASSIVE!
even upto the P900.

i aint seen any real pics yet to prove the size, but from what i have been reading its Very Very Big.

it looks cool tho

edit: did a few searchs for live pics and found a few here they are,

It does look pretty damn big! I'd be paranoid about the screen though - I think mobiles should just be something you can shove into your pocket, and not worry about scratching them. It'd have to be kept in a case, which I don't mind for my PDA (I have a nice aluminium hard case), but with a mobile I like to see if I have any messages or missed calls. It's the one thing that puts me of the SE UIQ phones, but this nokia one doesn't even have any flip down buttons, so you'd have to get the stylus out everytime you want to make a quick phonecall, or get fingerprints all over the screen.

Thats not a bad size at all really, looks pretty much the same size as an ngage......... thanks for the pics

Blimey that looks like a really nice phone. Was having a look at the dimensions on Nokia site - its 13cm x 7cm x 2cm. Does'nt seem too bad size wise considering all that it can do. The On screen keyboard sounds like an interesting idea - would be a pain to do text messages with I imagine! Definatly a phone worth looking into when it comes out although knowing my luck Orange will take about another year to get it on their Network!. Is this what would be classed as a 3G phone as it mentions streaming video or is this still classed as a 2.5G phone. My worry would be loosing the little pointer thing that goes with it

Any idea when the 7700 is due for release? Im due an upgrade in June and am stuck between the 7700 or the p900.

i don't think the 7700 will be out intime for June mate, i think its got a 4th Quarter release date that means Spetember - December.

Well will it still be worth getting a SE p900 in june, or will they be considered out of date by then or pretty soon after? Anything else worth considering with similar spec?

a good phone!

even this time next year it will be a good phone, it just depends on what you are looking for at the end of the day, this time next year we will be getting 2mega pix + camera phones but the P900 will still be up there with all its features.

if i was you i would get the P900, its an amazing phone with endless features.

Well I still got a couple of months until its time to upgrade, but it always worth thinking about it a bit early so you can put money aside for it. Any idea how much o2 will charge me to upgrade? Last year when i got my 3650 i said i was thinking of going to another network and they then gave me the phone for free.

regards,
Carl

umm sorry mate i have no idea how much they will want for an upgrade, somtimes its better to stop your current contract and then get out a new contract so you get your phone for Free or cheap, may i ask what contract you are on at the moment ??

Im on 02 Leisure Time Plus atm

The only problem with starting a new contact is that ill lose my loyalty discount.


Carl

what do you get for being a loyal customer ?? is it cheaper line rental or somthing ??

I currently get £4.62 off my monthly bill, dont ask why this amount i dont know. Not much, but adds up yearly.

well it depends, they may ask you to pay over £300 for the P900 so in the end it would be cheaper to get a new contract out .

If you're with O2 your loyalty bonus carries over to your next contract. I've had my loyalty bonus of 20% off line-rental for 1 year and 4 months (spanning 2 different contracts).
