What is the first thing you are going to do with your SE S710a (after placing the SIM card in and powering it on of course)? Will you call someone? Play a game? Take a picture? Record a video of your pet peeing?

I think I'm going to turn it right back off first to see the power down media. I know, I'm wierd. 😕

I'm going to plug it in & make sure I fully charge it before I turn it on.... want to maximize battery life.....

Besides - if I don't do this, then I won't be able to put it down until the battery is dead...

I'll probably try out a Pro Duo card and see if the phone can recgonize it. If it does then i'll begin loading mp3s and testing its quality!!

slam it against the wall and return it for a treo 650 😛

seriously though, i haven't read one review where the tester tried to use a pro duo card. just b/c the manual says its not compatible doesn't mean it its not. if i believed everything i read i wouldn't "backup" my dvd library

I think that the people who manufactured the thing know whether or not it will support PRO. To assume otherwise would be ridiculous.

Or its a marketing ploy to move product. If the phone doesn't need/utilize the pro duo's speed why offer both types. I'm sure sony has a surplus of pro cards and they know that most new products will opt to use the pro duo cards. rather than eat the cost of the surplus they can tie it solely to other devices.
...
pyrofenix

Feb 16, 2005, 5:59 PM
I'm not sure I follow the logic here.

They have a surplus of pro cards...so they are going to say the S710 does NOT support pro? Why? Because they want to keep their surplus of pro cards?
...
slvrsun27

Feb 16, 2005, 6:01 PM
they have a surplus of pro cards. to move it they say the s710a ONLY uses pro. they move product and surplus is reduced.

Feb 16, 2005, 6:03 PM
but they AREN'T saying the s710 only uses pro. They say it ONLY uses non-pro.

I truly and wholeheartedly doubt that Sony gives a crap about who buys a memory stick duo pro and for what purpose, if one at all. As long as people buy it, they're happy.

It's funny how Mp3 players/phones are getting so popular now.

I used to have a Samsung SPH-M100 Uproar which was one of the first phones to have a built in mp3 player. I used to use it everyday on the metro in DC on my way to work. I loved that phone!

Knocking over a grade schooler, beating him up, and stealing his stuff doesn't qualify as winning an iPod 🙄

No, my father has these points on one of his credit card that he's racked up for the past several years and he doesnt use them, so he gets a monthly catalog on what he can use his points for. You can also request items that arent in the catalog, so I got an iPod. If there's enough point left, I may get my S710a like that as well.

here is the alternative to wasthing money on an ipod/ipod photo:

http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/e ... »

Sony:
can find for $400-500 online
can play mp3, plug it in at a friends house and add to it,
640x480 screen resolution,
sexy beast,
20 hour battery (CNET's actual test result),
40 gigs,
remote (that can access all menu's and such),
getting to say you have a sony,
SEXY BEAST

iPod:
can find for only $499 (40gig)
can play mp3, wipes it if you plug it in at a friends house,
220x220 (approx) screen resolution
bland looking and thick,
8-12 hour battery (CNET actual test result),
40 gigs...
(continues)

I got my iPod for free so I'm alright. That Sony thing looks too big anyways. And if they don't offer it in more than 40 GB, then it's useless to me đŸ˜ŗ
...
pyrofenix

Feb 17, 2005, 9:43 AM
Woah, that sony is sexy? In what dimension?? And I don't see a variety in HD sizes for it either.

That said - Ipod photo, personally I think it was a stupid idea (and it hasn't been selling as well as normal ipods). Do I really want to carry a bunch of photos with me? Not really...Granted the color screen is pretty but it's not such a big selling point.

The benefit of the ipod is you get a quality player - it's not the BEST as far as quality - mainly because the headphones that come with it (99.9% of all mp3 players suck) aren't very capable. The design is impressive and the scroll wheel makes scrolling through my collection of 3,000+ songs (none of which are illegal - all burned from CD's I own) pretty easy. Now, I don't hook up...

HeroPsychoDreamer

Feb 17, 2005, 9:45 AM
It does offer insight and valid points.

I like the iPod photo only for it's color screen and its 60 GB HD. I've gotten so used to everything being in color, that it'd be nice to have a colored iPod as well.
...

Feb 17, 2005, 9:55 AM
What i'm waiting for is ipods with the new nanotech screens - they look kinda like LCD but the display has a bit more of a book written on paper look to it (check out the link).

http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000680031783/ »

It should dramatically improve battery life - the biggest downside to an ipod in my opinion.

(that said - replacing the battery really isn't THAT hard to do)

You didn't.

I know what it was...says in the article they hacked up an ipod and used their tech to show what it would be like.

Just saying having that screen in an ipod would be very nice.

First...I will slowly open the box with the greatest of ease. Then I will find 3 kings to follow the North star and bring gifts of Frankenscense and Myrrh. Then I will wrap the phone in swaddling cloths, and thank the good Lord for this wonderful gift that he has bestowed upon humanity. Then I will rituallistically worship the phone on every Sunday and sing Hymns and annoint it with divine oils.

JUST KIDDING!!!

Probably just play around with it, you know, get some upskirt pics, record myself lighting my own farts...that kind of thing.
