And for converting movies I use Nero Recode. There's a tutorial out on the net somewhere, lemme have a look.

Dazzla, did you happen to find anything? I tried Recode but wasn't even given the choice of coding to mpeg4 but I might be lacking a codec (haven't d/l any codec packs since last format because I use VLC)

Well I just got my K750i yesturday, and I gotta say Im impressed.

Everyone that suggested it to me was right, its the best phone ive used yet (7610, 6260, mpx200, mpx220, V3).

But to the people that have Cingular in the states (Im located in South Florida), reception is pretty disappointing, actually, its down right terrible. I understood when I bought the phone that I would be taking a risk since I was relying on Cingular's 1900 band, but sadly, Cingular uses both 850 and 1900 in my area, so in spots (like my house for instance), I get NO reception.

It sucks, because with the V3 I got 3 bars in my house (it is a terrible reception area), so its just my luck that my house must be in an 850 heavy spot.

So my dilemma is do I deal with the ****** reception and keep this otherwise amazing phone, or do I sell it off and buy a black V3, and hope a K750a comes out soon (which it wont, and something better will be out by then).

I just thought I share my experience with other Cingular users, and let them know that although this phone will work, dont be expecting great RF (but then again its best to just try the phone in your area, and find out for yourself).

Just got my phone yesterday. I love this thing. I use T-mobile in the cincinnati area so I had had no problems at all with the service. The first thing that really amazed me about this phone is how small it is. Ive used motorala phones my whole life and I gotta say, I really love the software this SE has.

I got a K750i on O2 contract the other day. Phone was free, contract is 18 months on ?30, 300 any-time, any-network minutes and 150 texts inclusive. It's my first contract phone and I'm very pleased with it:DD It feels very well-constructed, the UI took next to no time to get used to and the only complaint I have is the battery cover is VERY secure. It took a very forceful pushing to remove it the first time.

I don't really need functions like cameraphone, Bluetooth and whatever. The only thing I asked the sales assistant for in a phone was one with enough memory to store MP3s and easy PC connectivity. She recommended this handset. MP3 ringtone support is brilliant and the radio is good too, even with the standard-issue handsfree set. The theming software is great too, within 24 hours and I'd themed the UI with my own creation. I think I made a winning choice to get this handset ;P

Just picked mine up today :)

Took so long to get to Australia. I was going to buy it from Hong Kong (eBay) but I wanted local warranty and pick it up myself.

Anyway today I got a call from the store I have been pestering for the last week. He said they had ONE that had just arrived (more are expected Friday). I told him to keep it for me and I will be there right away... I had to catch a bus for 40 minutes and when I got there the guy couldn't find it!

Haha eventually he found it and its sitting on my desk now. I was amazed at how small it actually is! All the photos on the net make it look a lot bigger :p

Anyway i am too scared to even turn it on until I read the manual LOL.

Also need to buy a case for it so I don't scratch it or damage it by dropping it. Anyone got any suggestions?

Edit: What is this warn crap next to my name? When will it go away?

The diference between the k750 and the w800 is the Memory Stick Duo Pro 512 MB card included with the W800, because the k750 has only a 64 mb card included , and the w800 has the ability to listen to mp3 when the phone is off to save battery , everything else is the same

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By Paul1979UK · Posted

      It depends, but it's also going to push more adoption of open source AI models that can run locally, I'm seeing a pattern among the US and China when it comes to closed and open source AI models, they close when they feel they have the advantage, open up when they feel they don't. This has little to do with security and everything to do with control, the irony is that the ones that do go open and get the community behind them are the ones that have the real control, hence why we keep seeing this seesaw from closed to open. Ultimately, it's far too dangerous to let any one country or corporation to control AI, which is why open source AI or AI you can run locally on your hardware is very likely going to be the future of AI over the long run, this is especially the case as AI becomes more powerful and useful for user, privacy, security and censorship will become more of an issue for users and businesses.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      A person should only be required to click through to an article if they want to know more details. The headline should give basic facts. A basic fact would include the name of the service being shut down.

      That would probably be a good outcome, but it would also require other "features" be changed to comply, such as Auto play, scrolling, and advertising. Having the laws shift these platforms back to a socially responsible and useful places is a benefit for everyone. The addictive nature is the problem, and while many blame the individual, psychologists would suggest the platform is using a well trodden playbook to hook in more revenue..

      It was a rather nice rant as I rather dislike when people support the shitifcation of the Internet. My comment also factually applied the definition of "clickbait' to this headline unlike your comment. I have been reading this site for some 20 years now so I will call them out when they are doing carp they shouldn't be doing but thanks for your concern. You can't even do a search by headline anymore to do a quick search to find something because most of the titles lack all the relevant keywords that should be there.
