HEXUS.preview: Sony Ericsson K750i

[exAndrzej]

...finest mobile 3D graphics...

I was deliberately non-brand specific

I was really up for some advice

(still am !)

what sort of browsing capabilities does the K750i have then? Is it a wap-only zone or can you freely brwose the web? (I would guess the former but you never know these days)

[MD]

Internet is described as follows on the spec sheet,t his was not working on the beta sample I saw unfortunately...

Internet
WTLS
WAP 2.0
WAP 1.2.1
OTA settings
Modem

Could someone please post or add a link to some sample pictures taken with this new SE model. That would be great if you could

I am really looking forward to owning one of these babies, anyone got any better idea of release dates yet?

But the K750i or wait for the new nokia 'N' series? Think it will have to be the Sony for now I think. I just really want to see some sample pictures. Some of the 1.3 - 2.0 MP phones so far have been very poor compared to what 2.0 PM proper camera's where like a few years ago. But I guess it's hard to fit decent optics in.

Worth switching from the S700i or wait for the replacement for that model?

Wow nice review, Looks like a very nice phone, and I await its release (on Vodafone + o2.. Not on T-mObile! lol).. Looks like a phone with loads of features and great potential!..

I currently have my K700i and this K750i, definately looks/sounds like it would be worth the upgrade!..

A few sample shots, but they've been resized so difficult to judge their true quality.

Check out this monster review for the SE K750i. Mobile-review.com say this phone simply blows all other camera mobile's away and will do for a few months.

Here is a sample photo; http://www.mobile-review.com/review/...s/DSC00078.JPG

Just been told it's going to be May the 23rd for new O2 customers, so probably sooner on T-mobile (if not already).

Shame it's an SE though. My T610 more or less killed itself after 9 months, very slow menu system, frequent crashes, the case started falling apart. Not impressed with that at all.

And my whole outlook on phones has changed since then anyway, I never used half the stuff on the T610, least of all the camera, so I swapped it for a Nokia 6100, which hasn't been turned off since February, gives me no hassle at all, and has never crashed. Also it's nice and tiny.

The T610 is a great phone, i suppose it just depends on what you expect from the handset and the hype surrounding it. I moved from a 6230 to a T610 because of financial problems and i'm quite happy with it, yes it's a bit sluggish but the battery lasts forever and it doesn't look too bad either. I think some peoples expectations of phones and their abilities are still way too high, remember it's a tiny little mobile it's quite a feat to engineer something so compact and full of functionality. And in direct response to Cage, if you weren't planning on using the features you shouldn't of bought the phone, fashion victim suprised you didn't go out and get yourself a RAZR V3

Sony Erricson K750i in stock! for order now on the Vodafone network, and apparently O2 connections are shipping this week too!

A month earlier that I had expected....

I spoke to Orange last night, the K750i is still on evaluation and so won't be on sale for at least three-four weeks.

Got mine free yesterday on an O2 Online upgrade with a very good deal on line rental. It's as good as I was hoping. In fact, i think it's better. However, the PC suite software is rather poor though. I am having major problems in getting the file manager to see my phone. The saving grace is that it still apears in My Computer as an external drive and I can add/remove Photo's, Apps and MP3's on the memory stick (Nokia should take a leaf out of SE's book here). But it would be nice to use the file manager and backup my contacts. Seems a common issue but I have not found a fix yet with hours of googling. I was expecting Sony to produce better software.. oh, hang on, just remembered Sonic Stage...
