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.

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

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
