I recently got the S710a and will probably be selling it soon. (Bought from letstalk.com, and their return policy is only good until you use the phone for 30 minutes of air time!)sarae said:
Anyway, the S710a is dumb for the following major reasons:
- The switchblade seems cool, but when you're using it closed, then open it... the phone is upside down!
- Another switchblad nicety... all the buttons on the side move 180° when you open it, so half the time the buttons are in one place; half the other...
- The microphone is in the FRONT! This is utterly retarded, in that if you hold the phone to your face, you effectively mute it. WTF? Why couldn't it be on the underside of the top section?? Of course you could use a BT headset, but... WTF?
- It's just too big. It didn't seem very big when I looked at it, but it's annoyingly large for my pocket.
- There seem to be very few volume controls for anything other than the ring (which doesn't echo when you set the volume, so you have to guess).
