Sony Ericsson Z700 User Interface and Features

User Interface and Features

The Z700 offered basic telephony functions with a phonebook capable of storing 500 entries, and it could record up to 10 dialed, received, and missed calls—a valuable feature for managing call history at the time. Despite lacking a camera, it supported SMS messaging imbued with sounds and pictures, hinting at the multimedia capabilities that would grow in importance in future models.

Emphasizing its role as a multimedia device, it supported polyphonic ringtones and had a loudspeaker for better audio output. While it did not feature a 3.5mm headphone jack, downloadable ringtones were a customization highlight. Standard utilities like a clock, alarm, and basic WAP 1.2.1/HTML browser were also present, although limited compared to today's standards. The phone supported the downloading of Java-based games, offering entertainment on the go.
