We like:
Attractive design; HSDPA mobile broadband; Qwerty keypad
We don't like:
Web browser; camera could be better; user interface is fiddly at times
CNET UK judgement:
There's no denying that the F700 looks like the iPhone, but in all fairness it's a very different phone. The F700 can send MMS messages, shoot videos, connect to an HSDPA network and there's a full Qwerty keypad hidden beneath the slide. But there's simply not enough to make it better than the iPhone and while it's very attractive, we can't help feeling that the user interface and features could be better
