Sony Ericsson K750i

[Martyn]

I'll take some pics when I integrate a mic into the solutions, as I'm gonna be ripping away at it all soon.

And yeah, I upgraded, but the latest firmware is buggy (corrupted files on my MS) so dropped back for now. And in all honesty, I wasn't as impressed by the media player as I thought I would be...

On the latest W800i firmware R1AA008 the corrupted files on the MS bug is fixed :)

Get a W800 if you can, there are loads of little improvement in the software. An example is when you zoom in on a photo, a little hourglass appears to let you know it's doing something as it takes a while, but you can't tell you even pressed the zoom button on the K750i. Same hourglass appears when you're moving around between them, and there are loads of other little improvement too.

That hourglass is something that was added in a firmware update I believe... and should be on the K750i now too.

Do you know of any interesting addons for this phone? Or should I upgrade the memory rather than get some type of addon?

Another question, how do you backup stuff to transfer from the old memory to the new one? And why is it called DUO?

Have the latest and nope, no hourglass on photos.

anyone know -- is it possible to turn up the volume of the mp3 player to be as loud as the ringtone ?

Hey guys, I have a quick question, are there any websites where you can get apps/games for Sony phones? Like there's websites for Symbian phones, I'm just wondering where my friend could download apps for his phone, s700.

[Gabureiru]

^^^ I've found some on davinciteam.com/seuniverse.com

[Daedalus]

Have the latest and nope, no hourglass on photos.

Guess I was either mis-informed or it is coming in a future update...

Hopefully in a future update, if there is a future update.

Just ordered a flash (MXE-60) for the phone. At least, a proper flash :D

Already got a dock. I love mah gadgets.

[Vveazel]

for sure i will get the 512mb (about $58 here (Thailand))

4GB and 8GB Duo PROs are coming out sometime this year ;)

But they're surely gonna cost hell a lot

@Game: S700 supports java, and there aren't many useful applications for it just yet. Try lasyk.net tho :)

Any suggestions on whats the best video format to convert stuff too? I want to convert some Quicktime (MOV) trailers, but not sure which format will look the best. :(

Use SUPER ? to convert your videos to 3GP. If your video skips a bit when you set the video to fullscreen, lower the bitrate and/or framerate, the phone's processor struggles a little.

What's the difference in k750i and w800i besides the look and feel of the phone? I believe the k750i's firmware can be upgraded to the w800i's one...no?

K750I

*Black and looks SEXEY!

*64Mb Memory card

*Photo Editing Software

*Crap Headphones

W800I

*White and Orange and looks nice.

*512mb Memory card

*Disk2phone Music Software

*HPM-70 hands free and headphones are excellent

*Better mp3 player software on phone.

Basically, k750i is based on people who like taking photo's thats why it looks like a camera at back and w800i is based on people who like music.

My k750i is flashed to a w800i and works perfect, also got the Hpm-70 headphones and 512mb card:D

[McLaren_F1]

Is there a risk involved when flashing the firmware over?

Why? I don't think you can, no.

Is there a risk involved when flashing the firmware over?

Yes, some people run into various problems.

[OV3RCLOCK3R]

Yes the Firmware can be downgraded again using Davinci Client.

you will encounter no problems if you follow the instructions properly :D

[Robbie Khan Reviews]

Good phone, had mine several months now, was silver but I made it ybrid, looks much better tbh! latest firmware too with 1gb sony duo pro.

[Elliot B.]

Anyone have the changelog for the last firmware update or the last two updates (hopefully)?

EDIT: Fooking sweet, I've noticed they added the hourglass icon when scrolling through the pictures and/or zooming in. I loved that addition to the W800i as it actually tells you it's doing something, whereas before, you'd press zoom and you'd get no indication to pressed anything until 3/4 seconds later, it zoomed. I'm a happy bunny.
