Well since I sold my DSC-T1 and bought the DSC-V3, it really isn’t a pocket camera.. And at this moment, I don’t have money to buy another slim camera (DSC-T7), and then I came across the SE700i. It tripled my functions, 1.3MP camera (I never really did use 5.0MP on my T1), MP3 functions :D , and of course a new cell phone. I was going to wait for the SE V520a, but decided for this. And instead of carrying three things in my pocket which puts it as risk to scratch with each other, it saves weight as well. I like SE 700i over SE 710a, because mine is silver, only available for the international version, and mine has a built in FM radio. S710a has EDGE, but I have no use for it at the moment..
