Sony Ericsson K750i
 

for some reason i keep typing eriksson but anyway :D

Anyone have this phone? I'm thinking of upgrading and basically canvassing for opinions. Having a look round this phone seems to have what i want feature-wise and i had an Ericsson ages ago before the current handset / museum piece that i'm using, i'm after FM/MP3 playback with bluetooth so i can use my PDA with it, anything else doesn't really matter too much so long as it's reliable. For similar price there are a few Samsungs but they don't have all the features i'm looking for and Link don't seem to have many Nokias (PAYG Orange) which is what i was really after.

So does anyone have this phone or any good / bad stories about it? As usual good advice will be repped :)

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

My gf has the phone, she seems to like it. Cant really tell you more than that. Probably didnt help but hey.

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

Well yes it did because i'm interested in both sides! Has she had any problems with it?

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

Nope, she says the battery life is good, camera is good for what you pay, quite a lot of MB, good value for money. Overall she is very happy with it

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

I have one as does my gf. Apart from sitting on it and cracking the lcd screen it's been fine. If you do bust yours I'm al up for repoaring them because I bought all the tools.

Its a great phone, the radio is alright (might be better in the towns)
The mp3 side is great and you can get a adaptor to use your own phones.
The photo's are good for a phone also.

All round a good phone. Reccommended

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

Nice one guys... keep 'em coming :)

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

I have got a k750i, nice phone with well laid out and easy to navigate menus.

Been switched on for months without a problem or reboot.

Never had a problem with any of the SE phones I have had, T610, K700 etc

Go for it!

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

Well I have the W800i which is the same phone but branded as a walkman. Its a really amazing phone -

Menu's really easy to get around
2 megapixel camera is really good
Walkman music player is great, the K750 only comes with 64MB card but the w800i comes with a 512MB stick and much better earphones.
Radio function is also very handy

Never had any probs with the phone

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

I'm getting worried. No-one has anything bad to say about this handset!

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

I had the 750i for the last year. no problems whatsoever. recently upgraded to the 900i but the 750i is still an awesome phone.

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

Go for it. SE produce the most superb phones. I've had Nokias, Motorolas, Samsungs etc, but nothing beats SE in my opinion. Just changed from a V3 back to a SE. So pleased I did. I had the K700i before the V3 (urgh), and loved loved loved it. :tu: I've now got a Z520i. Basic, but fab. I'm not into all the pictures and memory side of it, so it suits me fine.

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

I've had my SE 750i now for nearly a year and well chuffed with it.

picture quality is excellent.
sound quality no complaints either

and you got some wonderful free proggies on the net for it ;) including Opera

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

Consider the W800i if you are looking to use as an MP3 player as it is the same phone but it is supplied with a 512MB mem stick instead of the 64MB one the k750i comes with.

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

SE K750i, fantastic phone. No problems at all with really easy to navigate menus, good battery life and nice camera. You really can't go wrong with this phone.
However it may be worth holding out for the new SE K800i with Cybershot, which comes out soon if it isn't already out.

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

This is a 3G phone. The K790i is the 'normal' version.

I've had a K750 for nearly a year now and I've got no complaints. There's nothing currently out there that will make me want to replace it when my 12 month contract is up so I'll be keeping it for the time being.

There might be an issue with using mp3s as ringtones on a Vodafone branded phone but I believe that there are ways around this. If you can get an unbranded one, you'll get the correct SE software and not have it messed around with by the mobile network. Having said that, I have seen an Orange one and it appears to be only cosmetically different; my friend says it's nowhere near as bad as what Orange did to the K700.

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

If you do get a branded phone there are ways to reflash / unlock / de brand it to the original SE software.

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

yeah but you lose the warranty thats been issued by the mobile network, you'll only have the SE warranty..

also for SE there is a wonderful proggie out with which you can check everything on your phone.

for all of you its called Float's mobile agent and you can get it from fma.sourceforge.net I'm using the beta at the moment and thats okay, you can connect via bluetooth and or serial cables ;)

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

Well.. i have it now. First impressions are favourable.

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

I've got the K750i and had no problems with it so far! As others have stated it's the same phone as the W800i just with different firmware and more memory as standard. You can flash to the W800i firmware if you like. Also you can easily find games for it on the torrents and install yourself. ;)

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

only tiny issue that I've found with my k750i was that dirt/dust and stuff get into the joypad quite easy so sometimes you might be fighting with it.

if you want to use a different browser for your phone you can get opera for it from their own webbie and its excellent I have to say

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

My K700i is the same, infact it's that bad I've got to buy a new one this month :(

Bloody SE. :mad:

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

Great phone. I bought it on orange contract about a month ago.. FAntastic deal

£20 a month - 3000 texts and free sony ericsson K750i and a free 1 gig memory card..

I had the k700 before this, and must say the k750 is an amazing fone.

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

and Nffc how you liking your K750i?????? thanx for the rep btw mate ;) and hope you love opera as I think its wayyy better then the original browser on it

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

If youn want to strip it apart to clean it I can provide the instructions to do it, going to do mine again this afternoon as its getting iffy.

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

I'm lovin it mate, i'd like the link / more info on the Opera biz because the Orange / supplied browser is ****.

Woo, spotted the link earlier looks like it'll work on the PDA too. Trying it :D

---------- Post added at 19:25 ---------- Previous post was at 18:31 ----------

Not from the phone because that costs money, but i have just been on the forum on the PDA (via Wifi) using Opera.

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

One more question... I'm miffed with the games on there. Doing a quick Google search I've found a few but not many. I'm tight so I don't want to pay nor receive loads of premium rate texts so I'd like to DL the java apps on the PC and then USB them over to the phone.

Does anyone know any good, free game download sites for the K750?

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

*cough* bittorrent *cough* ......hint type Java Games. ;)

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

The very thought of installing Bittorrent and infecting my PC with crap fills me with ... a thought words cannot describe... :erm:

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

Bittorrent isn't kazza or spyware. :) Install Utorrent or bitcomet.

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

Even so I'm rather uneasy about the way the things operate...

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

Aw w00t!

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

That's the only way i know of getting the sort of games your after easily and quickly without paying. Maybe you could try the Newsgroups. :)

Re: Sony Ericsson K750i
 

I got the w800i good phone, i have 1000 java games and 20,000 ringtons on cd :) the games keep me busy for ages! SE very good mobiles. my next phone will be SE. Zedge is not bad for themes and stuff. stick to the free bits in the public gallary on the left and watch out for popups.
