that phone takes amazing pictures
Yes, it does. Sony Ericsson phones are consistently praised for their high quality digital cameras. I just bought a W900 yesterday (I hope it comes tomorrow!), and many reviews said it has the best camera in any phone to date. SE is really a great brand, and with their new phones coming out, like the K610, they are only going to get better. :)

I am thinking of getting this phone soon, ?150 (or cheaper, depending on if discount can be gotten). My mate has one, and his joystick hasn't died on him yet.

You might want to wait for the K800, which is set to replace this model once it comes out.

I've had a problem with my phone this past few days. It started putting itself into hands free mode and even when I switch back to normal mode it auto answers all my calls and I can't hear anything, anyone have a clue?

Had a similar thing with mine - seem to recall we got them at about the same time. I solved it by switching to another profile.

As to the other probs, my joystick's holding up well (oooh, matron), but then I think I'm a bit of a freak, because I mainly use my K750i for making phone calls. :blink: :D

I got mine a few weeks ago...I figured I'd wait for some more reviews etc... Man it rocks! Only problem I'm having is when using my 1GB MS PRO DUO card, the phone takes around 5mins to fully load the file structure, during which time I cant navigate the file explorer, play any games, or even take a picture without the phone freezing for 30secs.

It's not the Memory Stick thats faulty, or the phone either, I've tried 2 other sticks, and tried this stick in 2 other SE phones, all with the same problem.

It's not much of an issue since I rarely remove the stick, or switch the phone off, I just have to remember to leave it for 5mins or so before I start taking pics or playing games. MP3s and videos work fine straight away, just the other functions.

well I have a 2GB MS PRO DUO and my K750i dont take so long, even more, I havent notice that it load the file structure, but what I dont like is to see the photos in thumbs so if in a folder I have 20 pics in 1600X12000 it take like 10 secs to open it.

Maybe in the next firmware they improve it

Pffft mine gave up on me. When I turn it on it just flashes. Light off - light on - light off - light on ... and no text on the screen.

Damn phones.

You've just received a bad handset, that's all. Get it fixed (or do what you need to do) and you'll be happy with it (Y)

Just to add a few things...

Mine is getting quite confused with the radio now. When I quit the radio the little icon appears, when I go in to it the icon goes away. It happens all the time now, and often turn the phone on and off.

Standby time is amazing on battery life, IMO. You can get about 26 hours with the radio and nothing else at a push - a real push.

I turned down the brightness a lot on the phone and it's absolutely fine. No idea if this saves battery life, but I didn't need it as near as bright as the default.

Maybe, but I'm never paying over ?200 for a phone. Although I will get it if the K800 doesn't have a joystick - it seems to be the only major problem with SE phones nowadays. Thanks for the heads up though.

Sony Ericsson have realised the joystick problem and have fixed this for the K800i. They've ensured no dust (or limited amounts) can get underneath the joystick. I really like the 'stick method.

I thought that dust couldn't get under the K750i joystick as well, and the faultiness was simply because joysticks are moving parts and break down over time.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
