Sony Ericsson K750i

[Wannes]

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)

Mjah, I have it since November 2005 and this is actually the first problem I encounter. It's at the local shop now, they will ship it to SE. We'll see but I do miss her.

I'm waiting for it to change my phone, the K800 is going to be awesome! :D

Mine wont turn on :(

Charge it :whistle:

[Storm]

nah :( been told its a software prob! :( 10 days out of warrenty too ! :@

[ElectricDemon]

I'll be selling mine soon no doubt, had it for a few months due to o2 cocking up my contract and thinking it finished earlier than it did. I'm due for an upgrade soon, aiming for the w850i.

[Wannes]

Just had ik back from the service centre. They claim to have fixed the problem yet I still cannot turn on the phone. What's up with that?

Sorry, I'm giving them one more chance or I'm moving on.

@Storm: Does the bg light flash?

Tried turning it on without the Memory stick inserted? I only ask because my mates phone wouldnt turn on, he gave it to me to figure out why, I removed the memory stick and checked everything. Eventually we worked out that the mstick, or the slot was faulty.

[Wannes]

Hmmm that's an idea

**runs off to try it**

You ... you ... you

that frikking works!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Glad I could help...if u were referring to me :D

Try a different memory stick, and see if it still has the same issues, or even reformat the original one in a card reader and re-test..

[Wannes]

It had the same issues wuth a new stick so SE is fixing it now!

Thanks for this ace review! I was considering the k750i, and I think I may just take the plunge and buy it. :)

Again, thanks for the review. *thumbs up*

At this point, why not get the K800 instead, or the W810? Both phones are newer and superior to the K750.

[sundayx Veteran]

canada has the w810 for a very cheap price, which is the same (if not better) phone to the k750, including a larger memory card and better headphones, i suggest you consider that

Despite the more recent comments in this thread about people saying to go for the newer models, I myself am aiming to get a K750i within the next few weeks.

Before you start spamming me with the "omg newer versions are so much better" which is probably true, i must admit that i dont like the look of any of the newer models, and i'm not the sort of person who really gives a monkeys about the differences between a 2.0 and a 3.2 megapixel camera.

K750i FTW!

I have upgraded twice since having my K750. When I go on holiday though, I revert back to it because it's an old phone that works perfectly but I wouldn't be heartbroken if I lost, broke, whatever.

But whenever I do use it - I remember exactly why I loved this phone.

Apparently quite a number of k800i's are suffering from software corruption, which forces you to ship to back for repairs. Besides the 3.2MP camera, I see no reason to upgrade from the k750i in the next year or two.

There are no major reasons to upgrade from a K750i to a K800i in my opinion, but a K800i is a good choice for someone wanting to start a contract.

The camera jump is not the only difference, but it's the most prominent.

anyone knows how to unlock a k800i from a provider?(Three mobile from Aust)

[andresjk]

some days ago, my K750i stop working, I mean some keys in the keyboard didnt respond (the Number 1, 2 and 3 the joystick and the accept key) I went to the sony center of my country but they toldme that they didnt repaired my phone so I when to Anovo and they repaired my phone but It stopped working again so I told them to check out it again and they finally repaired well.

I dont know how only one fell of about 100cm or less make it change the keyboard, some integrateds and the one diode.

[neoadorable]

i've had the k800i for three months and two weeks after getting it Sony had to replace the stick coz it didn't work.

overall not a bad phone, i just don't seem to get the utility out of it i expected. the camera's OK but doesn't look like a true 3.2. however, it is the best camera phone i've seen.

does anyone know if it scales back photo quality if the battery's low?

[Elliot B.]

I can't imagine it would, no.

[neoadorable]

thx. any other reason it sometimes looks a lot worse while on the same image quality setting as when it looks good?

[ootput]

I recently sold my k750i to my little bro (at a reduced price) as it was beginning to show it's age (not entirely it's fault.) I had lost two of the control buttons (top left, and top center) and the button characters were beginning to fade away. Also, as I was a smoker, I managed to get some of the cigarette contents between the display glass and display when using the same pocket for cigs and cell; don't ask how the cig contents got loose and left it's box.

I'm a proud owner of the k800 atm, after returning a Nokia 6280 that felt too much like a Fisher Price toy :D

Have you tried asking the provider for such a service? Chances are they will do it for free (as in the case of some companies in the States) or they will charge $50-$100 for it. I think there will be some sort of minimum commitment to 3 in terms of length of subscription before such a service will be offered.

ps. sorry for going o/t

[PaulCabby]

Actually it does.. On my w800i it does anyway. :wacko:
