I love my S700i - the 1.3MPixel camera is perfectly adequate for party snaps, recording book titles, snaffling amusing quotes from signs etc. The form factor is also good; the rotate-outyness allows me a decent screensize, and also effectively protects the power key (a problem I had with earlier Sony Ericssons).
The user interface is also better than several previous phones; each addressbook entry has multiple phone numbers (eg mobile+home+office), but clicking on the name calls the default directly. You scroll left and right to get the alternates. Previous phones I've had either didn't support alternates, or required a second selection from a subsequent menu, which meant I'd regularly place the phone to my head and wonder why nothing happened.
The only downside is that sending SMSes from OS X's AddressBook application doesn't seem to work with it. Not that I've made much of an attempt to track down fixes. iSync OTOH is fine.
