    Only thing you can really do is send it away for repair, which if it is not under warranty could set you back around £40. Trouble is like you mentioned, it seems to be quite a common fault on all models that have the joystick.

    May well be cheaper in the long run to buy a replacement

    Re: K750i Jog button sticking/not responding

    It's amazing that Sony still persist with the joystick design which has caused such grief on all of their models. I had issues on my previous phones (k700/w800).

    If it wasn't for the Sony's being such damn fine phones, I'd have gone for a different brand.

    I might switch to Nokia for my next phone, except the spacebar is in the wrong place and it drives me up the wall when texting! Trivial I know.

    Re: K750i Jog button sticking/not responding

    if you're slightly electronically capable then get a faulty one off the ebay and swap whatever you need, otherwise my advice is get a new phone, cuz i am sure you can get a better one for around 40pounds

    Re: K750i Jog button sticking/not responding

    I had that problem, cost to much to replace, so decided to get a new phone. One without the hassle of a silly joystick that keeps breaking.

    Do the newer range of Sony's also have the joystick? My contracts up in a few months so just snooping around.

    Re: K750i Jog button sticking/not responding

    The worst mobile for sending text, i'm a speed texter and every now and then i keep getting 2-3 more letters in the text as the keys are not spaced enough, especially the 2 key.

    I'm going to get the new N95 this christmas, i'll give my K750i to my worst enemy or a very young hoodie.

    Sony Ericsson are still doing handsets with the jog button but some of the newer ones dont have it. They have a circular direction button that has to be pressed in whatever direction you want to go.

    Re: K750i Jog button sticking/not responding

    The k750i joystick is a terrible design, works OK for about 6 months then starts messing about. Anybody I know with a 750 has had this problem. I find that if i blow air in around the joystick it is a temporary fix.
