hi max, i have found two things about your first post

Frivig= is not a word at all, shouldn't it be frivillig(voluntary)

and for the second time, gsm is the same on swedish, you can take away the "The acronym is... i think"
Mobilephones i had: T10, T18, P800, P900, T630, P910. Motorola T260, MPx 220. Siemens MC60, SX1. Nokia 3510i, N-Gage, 3310. Qtek 9100, 9090. Samsung X-830. Have now: Treo 650
I would be a millionaire if i got 1$ everytime i thought of a :raz

Amax, sorry about my ignorance of swedish. I heard you the first time re gsm, I just haven't got around to editing that in my original post

I got frivig from an online translator, but I trust a native speaker such as yourself more than an online translator, so I will change it to frivillig

Wouldn't the Z series also be a carry over from the old Sony Z series - Z5 Z7 as they were?

Just like the T series was?

Mmm maybe not.

RE: the Z700.

Was that the one that looked like a black Z7? I remember seeing a pic of that once.

@masseur

Thanks!

My god I bet thats a rare phone. It looks so different in white, like something from the series Space 1999

So the first Z series was, actually almost, a Sony design before it was cancelled.

here is a link to the Z700 on Expansys.

It sound's like a really cool phone and would have been a great replacement for my CMD Z7 at the time
