Unfortunately, problems like this seem to becoming more frequent.
Most people just blame it on SE, Nokia, etc for releasing too many phones too quickly without proper testing.
While that is very true, and often you do just get a faulty unit anyway, it’s increasingly due to the network operators insistence on using there own modified firmware version, so that they can include there own 'tweaks', cheesy branding and useless s*** like Vodaphone Live and O2 Active crap.
Although there were issues with other networks, most issues with the K750i were down to O2's version. And just look at the mess with O2 XDA Mini s, their original software virtually crippled it. Removing the O2 software and flashing with a new ROM was almost a prerequisite.
I am not saying that this is what has caused your problems, sounds like you just have a bad one, but it really bugs me it does. One of the things I now look for when choosing new model is the ability to flash to a generic and more stable OS.
/rant over. Sorry to hijack ya thread mate
