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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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?

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