You sure? O2 say they're still having problems with the phone and they're not getting a usable stock until... 10th July I think. Might of been earlier. They were having problems with the firmware.

Yes!!

Got mine this afternoon, bloody eck and what a phone this little beautiful phone it is, been sending music all evening, damn i didn't expect standard earphones to be so good, they aren't that bad.

Camera is brilliant, been having a little fun with my nephew and niece, i can't image what the frames shoot would be like on a night with the boys, haha.

I've had great fun with this phone for several hours, best phone had so far.

how would you compare it to a samsung D500 Dazzla? one reason for which i had moved over to samsung was for the menu speed, sonyericsson was just always too slow...wonder if its any better now?

Any more information on this? I'm seriously considering getting the k750i some time in the near future but my Cingular contract doesn't expire for another year. Is the reception that bad? Anybody have first-hand experiences with the k750i and Cingular? :unsure:

@i||uSi0n^

the menu speed of a K750i with the latest firmware is quite fast.

Faster than it's previous models thats for sure.

However, it does have a few smooth animations that transition the menu's so that could slow down the menu display speed.

The D500 is instantaneous, however the K750 is almost as fast.

I'm sure later revisions will speed it up as well.

@BGM, well it is possible since the headset settings can be altered within the service menu.

Have you upgraded to the latest firmware?

Sonyericsson.com

go to the K750 section and you should see update or soemthing similar near the end of the page.

Sony Ericcsson, although in no comparison to the royal trash that Motorola ****s out, has its downside. The fact that Ericcsson and Sony teamed up when they did certainly does add some advantages but the frigging cost is unacceptable. Whatever sony touches turns into a money thirsty monster. Sony's products are ALL overpriced and i'll tell you honestly, they really aren't that good for what they charge. Now having said that, Sony Ericcsson isn't at all a bad phone its just that whatever Sony charges doesn't add up on paper.

Now frigging Motorola is just downright crap! Almost all the motorola products I have owned including cell phones have been a major dissapointment. Cell phones were cheaply built, had unstable firmware, short battery life and crappy reception. I have a Motorola cordless phone that is not more than 3 months old and it is very buggy. Sometimes I press talk and the phone still rings and other times it glitches and the ringer rings into one continuous stream....but thats enough of this

first off see if the cingular in your area uses 900/1800/1900 because that's what this phone uses. that's a reason why i can't get it since cingular here uses 850/1800/1900

Well, gots me k750i and used it a little.

So far Im pretty impressed, will hopefully be out and about tomorrow so will be able to give the camera a decent test.

Made a few calls, moved the voice call volume all the way up, and well, at least I can hear it now without actually having to force my head inside the receiver !

Im hoping that the case I bought for my c500 is knocking around somewhere, because the screen protector on my k750i was partially off when I received it, and was just getting in the way, so it's gone now.

Hopefully there will be no problems with dust and the usual suspects with this handset, my c500 would look pretty perfect still if it didnt constantly look like winter under the screen (yes I know you can open the phone and clean it, and if you cant do it you can send it away - I KNOW :p )

Anyway, just wanted to add my 2c's and say that its a great phone, also, for the firmware update, is there actually a changelog anywhere? Because I couldnt find one on the upgrade page.

Tah.
