Sony Ericsson K750i ReviewRating:
Date: 09/11/2006
The Sony Ericsson K750i is a standard top of the range phone, however it is about a year old so does not compete with the features of all the latest Sony Ericsson phones.
It is a standard design of average size (100 x 46 x 21 mm) and weight (99g). One of the niggles is the fiddly joystick which some people find slightly difficult to use, although with a bit of use this becomes easier to get to grips with.
The phone has a 2 megapixel camera with autofocus, 4x digital zoom, photo light, and picture editor and effects. The autofocus feature will automatically focus the camera on a particular subject instead of using a fixed focus distance. The megapixel count is good but there are cameras with a higher number of megapixels out now by Sony Ericsson such as the K800i and K790i, both featuring 3.2 megapixels. The K750i also comes with a video camera and image editing PC software.
The phone has a TFT display viewable in bright sunlight with 176 x 220 pixels and 262,144 colours. The resolution is very good but is not the highest around at the moment in comparison to the K800i which has a resolution of 240 x 320.
There is a music player and FM radio and with the internal memory being 34 Mbytes you will be able to put a few songs on your phone. If however that is not enough, there is the option available to extend the memory with a Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick Pro Duo card, expanding the phone's memory to 64 MB or 1 GB respectively. It also has a media player that plays video as well as music. The Melody composer/MIDI (MusicDJ™) is a feature that allows you to mix sounds, video clips, pictures and text that you are then able to send as a message.
The phone has MP3 ringtones and 40-voice polyphonic ringtones, meaning that the phone is capable of playing 40 notes at once which is quite impressive, although 72-voice ringtones are now available in newer phones. The phone also features downloadable Java games.
This phone has a variety of connectivity options, namely Bluetooth, Infrared and USB. Bluetooth allows connectivity between other phones or devices with Bluetooth up to 10 metres apart.
The messaging capabilities are SMS, EMS, MMS, Instant Messaging and Email. It supports internet access and has WAP 2.0 and GPRS. GPRS offers a moderate speed of data transfer but is by no means the fastest, and for a phone of this standard in comparison to others it is quite disappointing.
The battery talk time is up to 9 hours, and the standby time is up to 400 hours, which is excellent and one of the highest amongst the top of the range phones. Its operating frequency is tri-band, which means that it works in Europe and the States.
Other features of the phone include a sound recorder, voice commands and voice dialling, speaker phone, animated wallpaper, picture phonebook and personal organiser functions.
All in all the K750i is a very good mobile phone but it is not the best in the market. It has a very good camera and the built in music is great. If you buy this phone you will not be disappointed.

Another quality, reliable phone from Sony Ericsson. There are so many great things about the K750i, that it is impossible to list them all. Instead of this i have listed the main advantages and disadvantages of this phone over most other mobile phones.---- ADVANTAGES -----BELOW ARE SOME OF THE K750I'S MANY ADVANTAGES @ Very big and bright screen - Perfect for veiwing videos, photos, and for texting. @ Amazing, award winning (TIPA 2005, Best Molie Imaging device) - takes very good quality photos even in the dark!. The video recording is also very smooth and good quality and it could probably record video for hours. @ Ability to play great 3D java games - Although i would not say that the pre-installed games show how good the java is. @ USB, Infrared, and Bluetooth connectivity - The K750i can connect to almost every mobile phone and computer. @ Easy to use - Unlike most other phones, the K750i is packed full of features, but is also very easy to operate. @ Expandable memory (Memory Stick Duo) - Expandable memory means no running out of memory space. I would say that this is the best phone a PSP OWNER can get. Because they both use the memory card, you can take a high quality photo, put the memory card into your PSP and view it instantly on the massive PSP screen (no computer required!).---- DISADVANTAGES -----I HAVE SEARCHED LONG AND HARD AND MANAGED TO FIND A FEW MINOR DISADVANTAGES @ Battery life - If you use the main features of the phone often, you will find the the battery runs out very fast. The battery life can be extended by turning down the screen brightness and the volume. @ Loudspeaker - WHen the speakerphone is being used, there is sometimes an annoying vibration that seems to go when you press against the shutter. This can also be reduced by adjusting the equaliser settings. P.s. It is not worth reading the reviews that have given this phone less than 3 stars. Most of the people who have written these reviews are either complaining that their phone keeps breaking (due to their clumsiness), or cannot spell to save their life (this does not say much about the accuracy of their review). Overall the K750i is one of the best mobile phones i have ever seen, and definately the best i have ever owned. The K750i is quite cheap at the moment. I got mine (pay as you go) for only £150 with £50 free credit!. THIS IS ALMOST DEFINATELY THE ONLY PHONE AT THIS PRICE TO HAVE SO MANY GREAT FEATURES - BUY THE K750i !!!

I was browsing thru www and found great reviews about it. Well at first everthing seems fine, but after a couple of weeks problems started. First it was the software that came with the phone. I tried getting if from SC but it only helps a little. Might be my PC or SC, but at the end recognising the phone is difficult, and precious minutes are lost(20-30 minumtes lost in setting it up).
Then more problems begin. The phone constantly switches itself off. There
seems to be a sweet spot when applied a little pressure, the phone turns off. Friends and business contacts are finding it difficult getting in
touch with me. Might be the network, but i personally have witnessed the phone turned itself off when a call was comming thru. Getting scary as some of the calls missed were very important and would have cost me alot financially. Really did get a dud. So many functions but poor realiability
would make the Nokia 3210 more in demand in my opinion in comparison to the K750i.

This little number is great. I purchased it last November on the O2's website. I must say I have not really had any problems with it, ok I have had one from time to time it will freeze but I must point out
this only happens if I am pressing keys to say use a text without waiting for the phone to catch up. The camera is supper, the best and one of the easiest I have ever had on a mobile. Lest face it it not going to
turn heads on the bus its simple looking, no fancy flashing lights to attract thief's so I think that's an advantage! A friend of mine went and bought a nokia 6280 on O2, within three days he had it back to the store who replaced it free. My friends now got it up for sale and he is back using his k700i and is planning to buy a k750i like mine. Like many of friends I am technology hungry and must have the most up to date
features but other than video calling id say this phone fits the bill well. Battery life is awesome; I call a friend with
the bat on the red (15%) for over an hour before it dies. Most handsets on network three are luck to get an hour talktime fully charged. As for
applications and games, I have been downloading them free from websites and installing them on the k750i using Bluetooth, 90% of handset can not do this without a data cable, some not at all. It's got all the
other basics like predictive text, calendar, calculator ECT yeah and it's got a video capture mode, but I must say it not brill. The camera has a metal shutter to protect it. Id highly recommend this handset for anyone who's looking for an outstanding long lasting piece of kit.

I got this phone last August and have been happy with it BUT the joystick is now completely useless. I'm not a big game player or heavy texter but it just now works when it wants to. I am very disappointed as the functionality of the phone has been impressive. I can't wait to change it. What a let down! I'd never get a joystick phone again.

an outstanding handset.The camera is the best ive seen in a phone so far, although the autofoucus is a great feature and a first of its kind the button can stick and you are unable to take photos. it has loads of memory and is great fof listening to music and the radio. the screen is large and vibrant but itgets very dusty underneath and scratches easily. the charger, usb cable and headphones are very loose when you plug them in and can easily fall out. the light is very powerfull and allows you to take photos in pitch black. DON'T buy on vodafone, as i did, they remove many of sonys great features. On vodafone the menu is just basic red and white and very boring. Highly recomend it! very reliable and powerfull handset. i have had the odd freeze but nothing any other handset wont do, its easy to fix by restarting.

A "good" camera phone - most definitely. i've experienced quite a few
problems with it, but since i'm a more visual person, i'm VERY satisfied with how versatile the design of the interface can be. That plus the 2mp cam make my eyes happy. ***PROBLEMS*** i've had 1) it hangs and you have to remove the battery to make it function 2) zooming in on the 2mp pix takes ages; sometimes u can't even rotate the images. 3) taking pix in the dark or indoors also takes ages.. i have to count to 10 before i remove
the fone in front of my models 4) why they don't put a flash is a mystery of a device so technically advanced. The fact that the light stays ON makes my eyes water.. which is okay if you're taking pictures of objects (not creatures with eyes) in the dark. ***OVERALL***, despite its
setbacks, i'm still loving its features. A phone will never be perfect in all aspects, just as long as i can live with its weaknesses. You take some, you lose some. With that size, it's pretty hard to jam up everything into one tiny device. Anyhoo, without cramming up the memory (i.e. playing music while reading texts), you get a pretty slick device. just a note to nokia enthusiasts, i don't think it's 'just' that you compare SE features to nokia the way some of you do, because SE has a different approach. It's like a Brit saying "i don't like Spanish. I prefer English because it's easier to understand!",, Well, duh. I've owned both types of handsets and knowing how to use them makes all the difference.

Hi
Im on my THIRD K750I in under 10 months.
All I wish to say is that while its working the K750I is a good phone.
The problems with it are ALL down to the lack of testing Sony Ericsson do
on the phones software.
They set up an update service for owners to update the phones software & keep releasing updated software for the phones but what they don't tell you is you cant install an older known working version of the software if the new version messes up your phone ( & it will )
The problems you will get is the phone will suddenly just crash & switch itself off for a minute & then back on again, Or it will decide to wipe the complete contents of the memory stick whenever it feels like it, Or the bluetooth wont switch on or off, Or it will just freeze up for a minute & not do anything.
So eventually you end up with a phone that you cant use so you have to call Sony Ericsson customer care, Then a courier will turn up the next day with a new phone & take the old faulty phone away & the 3 month count down
to the next courier vist cycle starts from the beginning again.
The K750I has been hyped up so much & I along with many others fell for it, A good looking phone with a brilliant camera & crammed full of
features, Its a shame Sony Ericsson let it down with software full of bugs
that stop owners enjoying the many features the K750I has.
This is my first ( well third actually ) & LAST Sony Ericsson

Technologically, this phone is extremely avanced and the quality of the camera is good enough to print 6x4 photos and not lose any quality. The video camera is of average quality. The phone interface is very easy to use and overall I don't think anyone should have any problems in using the phone. The screen is excellent, very bright and clear, though the problems I describe later often hinder its performance. The internet browsing can be a little slow at times, but overall I find it OK.
The main bad point with this phone is its durability, which is verging on appalling. After owning the phone for 9 months and not using it that often, the screen is EXTREMELY scratched, the outer case completely
battered and the phone now looks like it has been around for about 5 years. There is no way of changing the front cover, and you can't even get
behind the plastic cover on the screen to clear the dust which annoyingly
gets behind it. It has not, however, affected any of the features.
Overall Sony Ericsson have pulled out all the stops and included lots of
features to make people buy the phone, at the expense of durability.
Unless there are known significant improvements on quality, I will not be
buying a Sony Ericsson phone again.

Phone - fine. PC sync software totally useless. The history of the Symbian PC comms softare goes back to the Psion days and PsiWin - and its never been sorted. Of course its been through re-writes, etc. and of
course it works fine of PC's in Sony-Ericsson.
Being a long term Sony-Ericsson fan and having had to endure a Nokia for quite a few years (at my company’s insistence) I do find it difficult to be critical. Anyway …
there are two major issues:
1. Poor functionality
2. Reliability
1. Poor Functionality
Being used to MS ActiveSync (and we all love to have Microsoft),
ActiveSync for Windoze CE leaves The Symbian Sync software in the dark ages. With Active sync I just leave my windows CE device in its cradle as as my Outlook stuff changes so it's quietly in background mirrored to my CE device. The Symbian stuff needs to be manually initiated when you want to do a sync. Symbian will not ask you about conflicts but
always do what action you have configured (Ask me not being
an option). The Symbian software considers itself so important that whilst Sunchronising is displays a large progress dialog with no minimize
button. Why can't it just get on with what you asked it to do
quietly.
Most serious App developers these days will bypass the Outlook Security Model so users don't have to have the pop- where the user needs to grant an external application permission to access Outlook. If Symbian programmers are not smart enough to work out how to do it (despite the fact that MS tell you how), then they can always but a development package for a few hundred dollars (*e.g. MAPILabs)
2. Reliability
As for all time back, it will run fine on some PCs, but be a disaster on others. Latest version (when I got my K750i today) decided it would not
run on mine. When Sunc starts it takes 100% CPU for 5 mins, then starts a bit. 5 mins later having taken 100% CPU time. After 15 to 20 mins and having taken 100% CPU time it will then fail, though if you are lucks might have sync a few contacts or agenda items by then.
All in all a disaster. SE have no idea why it behaves like this (which is even more disappointing as I can tolerate software not working if the
developers can help or are motivated to help sort it out)
My own K750i when back the same day and had the new contracts voided on it. Shop was not too surprised.
High end phones need have everything working slickly why we pay larger amounts on money for them.

Overall this phone is very good. Packed with features and boasts a superb camera, with great night shots. Easy in your hand and not an ugly phone to look at, although, it's not the most stylish of phones by far. Navigation is simple and I think, pretty quick, but maybe I’ve had lots of slow phones before, as a few people seem to think it is slow.??? Connection to
PC is as simple as it could be, with either a USB data cable, or with a bluetooth dongle. Bluetooth from phone to phone is simple and very quick too. Able to add any kind of ring tone you wish by editing your mp3's, and same goes for your message tones, a feature I liked most as I work in a noisy place and need a tone that can be heard easily.
My only dislikes about this phone are the very stiff keys, making texting take a little longer, for me anyway, and the wretched joystick that has a mind of it's own..!!!
I have had no problem with the phone turning itself off or freezing or anything. I think people who have, must have had a faulty phone.
I would recommend this phone to others as the pros very much out weigh the cons.

Good: Excellent phone. Better than my last Nokia 6230. Great camera, MP3, sound, reception and battery life. Lot of features are better than Nokia e.g the quick silent button but some strangely missing e.g. cannot save
incoming text phone numbers.
Niggles - Sychronising with Outlook not as good as Nokia on either USB or Bluetooth and had to reinstall PC-Suite a number of times to get sync
working. If dust gets behind screen you cannot clean it out.
Problem - Toggle key no longer selects down (after 2 months) and is now gone back to be repaired.

- Appalling voice tagging - particularly compared to Nokia
- Second-rate menu system - cruddy compared to Nokia's
- Bad button layout - doesn't aid the menu system
- Stiff buttons - something a bit more rubbery would have been better
- Could use a few more ringtones
- Not the fastest command response

I paid extortionate amounts of money for this as it seemed to have everything you could ever want in a mobile phone. However, texting was difficult, picture and video quality was appalling, the fm radio reception left alot to be desired and the battery life was poor. But by far the worst thing about this phone has to be the fact that it cut out/switched itself off several times a day EVEN WHEN IT HAD A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY!!! I put up with this phone for about 5 weeks when it cut out completely and never came on again. I have sent this phone back and am in the process of getting a refund which is proving difficult. DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL!!!!!

Now for some Bad points, slightly fiddly joystick(I've fingers like porkchops) but i am getting used to it, the charger plug looks a bit fragile, I've not broken it yet but I am sure, due to my previously mentioned problem, I will, why they made it so dam fragile I don't know, whats wrong with a jack plug.

I have purchased a k750i off ebay for a fixed price of #230. Now let me tell you, I've had about 100 phones in my time, and those phones don't even scratch the surface of the k750i. It is a very small phone. It looks relatively big in pictures but the pics don't do it much justice. The camera quality is EXCELLENT, same as the video. The MP3 player is great, I believe they come unlocked enabling you to insert any simcard. This phone stands out in a crowd and will be easily recognized by people as a fantastic phone. Sony Ericsson have picked out all the great things of a phone. It even has a Camera cover, when you open it, the camera starts, and then close it, obviously the camera then exits. ** If you are thinking of buying a new phone, this is the one you want! **

Having lived with it several months now the k750i is rubbish. The memories get last dialled numbers mixed up causing me a lot of embarressment. The charger no longer works unless you prop the plug against a book and put weight on the phone itself to hold it still, as experienced by several other colleagues. The buttons are too small and easilly pressed to give frustrating texting. The mouse button is too sensitive. The battery runs down very quickly. I frequently have to change back to my old reliable Nokia 6310i which the idiots in Nokias sales department have decided to stop making. KISS - Keep I Simple Stupid has never been so appropriate. Sorry folks, Sony Ericsson have got this one badly wrong.

James please if you are going to review a phone on an English site try and use some form of English in your review!!! However I do have to agree 'dis is da best'!!! Great features, quality camera and the fact that I can use the memory stick in my Sony digital camera too is a bonus. Nokia need to be aware that Sony Ericsson are moving ahead of the game with these sort of phones so need to pick up their game. The other point to note is that a lot of people are eagerly awaiting the W800i but I spent a lot of time looking at both and came to the following conclusions: 1) They are exactly the same phone other than looks and the fact that the W800i comes with a 512mb memory stick - the fact is that the W800 is an ugly colour and gets dirty very easily (just go into your local mobile store and have a look at one that has been given some serious handling - grubby like you wouldn't believe), the K750i is more practical and more attractive 2) You can get cheaper deals on the K750i and therefore use the money you save on the phone to buy the 512mb stick (about #40 if you shop around) and you then have the same phone other than it's not a horrible colour

Simply the BEST phone, save some top end smartphones, on the UK market right now, even the 6230i, which is often pitched against the k750i, doesnt even come close. It has had some teething problems, most notably with freezing, but this can be fixed with a free simple firmware upgrade, which you can do yourself, via the SE website and the USB cable supplied, or your SP should do it for you, or replace it with another with the new firmware already installed, if you tell them you're having problems. Have had this phone for over a week, upraded the firmware the other day, have had no trouble since, quite simply, everything works fantastically, menu is intuitive, and the joystick, although it takes some getting used to at first, I previously had a N6230, becomes second nature. has a 2MP camera, with autofocus, now this isn't just a regular cameraphone, this basically incorporates the camera from Sony digital cameras, to give simply excellent photos, and all you have to do is open the slider to turn the camera on, like you would with a normal camera. the mp3 player is great, the bundled 64Mb card is good, but 512Mb would be nicer, but 64Mb is still more than any other phone comes with. Nothing else compares to this for ease of use and quality, the only people that will disagree are the old Nokia faithful, basically people that think the 3210 had a great UI and things should never have changed from that (they haven't really on Nokia phones, just added colour.) many manufacturers now try and imitate both the menu system, often failing, and now more are trying to copy the joystick. Why accept a poor imitation, when you can have all the best features, with Sony's renowned quality. I think I've said enough.

I have just changed from a Nokia 6230 to the K750i and I am very happy with my choice. The picture quality is fantasic and coupled with the huge memory and the easy to use nature I think that this phone is a winner. For all those people who say that the phone is slow and locks up you all need to have a little bit more patience. All in all this is a great little phone that is jam packed with state of the art feature's. ( Singlefella2003@Yahoo.com)

I was a long time Nokia user and thought it was time for a change. The k750i is impressive with a very good camera and very nice screen. I've used it for 2 weeks now. But the interface drives me mad! However much I try I just can't see any logic in the button or menu layout. Here's a few examples: i) Why on earth is it a good idea to clear the text message buffer when you navigate away from writing a text. Just leave it there! It's not like the phone's short on memory. You do get the chance to save it to Drafts, then you have to nagivate around to find the message again. I just want to go resume texting. Drives me up the wall. ii) No one-button shortcut to write a text message. (you can create a shortcut to the message type selector menu, but you can't just start texting!) iii) Can't lock the keypad without getting back to the main menu, and there's no button for this like there is on a Nokia (you have to hold the Back button down for ages, then you can lock the keypad). iv) when you miss 3 calls, you'd want to know who they were. Once you know this you wouldn't want to the phone to display the missed calls icon, cos you know what calls you missed. On the Nokia this was easy. As soon as you read the missed call notification icon dissappears. With the SE you have to manually navigate to the New Events list press a soft key to Dismiss the entry, and then it asks Dismiss Yes/No. This is about 5 button presses that you never had to do on a Nokia. Drives me insane. You start to realise why Nokia can be complacent. They have the most streamlined, refined interface that is optimised for the minimum number of button presses. Come back Nokia! ... will you forgive me? Please? (sorry I said you were ugly, I didn't mean it...)

Had this phone a week, very nice looking phone, controls easy to use, camera and video very good, expandable memory to 512mb comes with 64mb. But have had problems with downloading mp3 songs and ringtones onto the phone, just will not except them, even when downloaded from a ringtone site. Ringtone volume not very loud, and with only a choice of 3. Three games are 1st level only not full games, and need to be downloaded for full games ( a bit tight in my opinion ). Because of the inability to download any mp3 or other alternative music am returning this and considering a different phone which is a pity because it is a nice little package. I may have kept it if the ringtone volume was alot louder but afterall this is first and foremost a phone and if I cannot hear it, theres no point in having it.

Just 2 respond to Will. I just got a 750i and it does exactly the same thing. I usually leave my phone on all the time and this is always locked up when I go back to it. I have raised a query with the Sony support desk (Go to http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=gb&lc=en&ver=4000&template=ps1_1_4&zone=ps&lm=ps1_1&pid=10242 ). If u have 1 of these phones, please do the same. More chance of getting a fix that way. I will also raise with my SP (o2), they should have more clout (especially when they realise they are about to get buried in product returns).

Been using it for 1 week, no problems with software (R1A044) whatsoever ! Excellent phone, feature rich, excellent battery life (GSM1800) as compared to SE S700 and Sansung D500. Outstanding ! Keep up the good work SE.

This phone is great, a lot of memory, and the camera is its best feature as iv had some high quality images from it. however im having problems in when the phone goes from standby to the clock when it powers down everything freezes, u cant even turn the phone off the only way to fix it is by removing the battery. It doesn't do this straight away but its mostly when the phone is inactive for a long period this occurs. Iv replaced it once already and my second phone is doing it and im going to get it replaced again. It has great features but with freezing problems like that it lets the whole thing down. Does anyone experience the same problems?
