Pfft.....Damn you Sony Ericsson - there goes another €500 of my hard earned cash.

Doublezero8 · 31-03-2005 3:36pm

Pure perfection .... Can't wait for it.

008

sharkman · 31-03-2005 3:39pm

It kinda has everything , even an RDS radio :eek: and will handle up to 2GB mem stick ....

Nokia have some catching up to do both in style and features !

Jammer · 31-03-2005 3:41pm

hopefully the software compares to symbian. the software on T630 wrecked my head after a while, not very responsive and crashed a bit if u had alot of contacts/messages. 2MP camera - cool!

I also seem at the bottom of the review the later version of it should have UTMS .

sharkman · 31-03-2005 3:50pm

And It looks like they are goig to be circa €500

sharkman · 31-03-2005 4:13pm

There's another good review here

jesus_thats_gre · 31-03-2005 4:18pm

Been using the V800 for a few weeks now. While it is a pretty impressive phone, it suffers from the same problems that caused me to get rid of the T610, i.e. the UI.

digiman · 31-03-2005 4:33pm

I suppose it will be around 6 months before its on vodafone. Is it a 3g phone?

jesus_thats_gre · 31-03-2005 4:47pm

Yeah vodafone have just launched the K700 here now sure

yeah lovely phone alright, first thing that struck me was the great screen plus the nice size, plus the new 'shortcut' button above the joystick... think i would prefer the silver (black is a bit too T630 like)..

se_k750_front_devices.ie.jpg

the screen was pretty responsive in camera mode, the lens protector is a good feature to have and starts the camera, flipping the screen into 'landscape' orientation for usage

se_k750_camera_wide_shot_devices.ie.jpg

the memory slot is easy enough to access on the side, once you can get the plastic cap off (supporting MS Pro Duo type cards)

se_k750_side_msproduo_slot_devices.ie.jpg

se_k750_side_msproduo_slot_devices.ie.jpg

other main change from previous models is the new connector at the base of the phone (K750 on top), mainly to allow for faster data transfer due to the larger capacity memory available on the handset

they had a branded model on display done up for Vodafone, but that's no indication of any release time-frame for Vodafone Ireland...

se_k750_voda_devices.ie.jpg

no, it's not a 3G phone, they released the K600 with 3G support (including video calls) but it has no memory expansion and a lower resolution camera, it's also a little thicker (deeper) than the K750

More reviews and pictures here

oneweb · 12-04-2005 10:14am

Good stuff, first time I've seen the silver version. Can't wait to get rid of my current pos for one of these

weeslip · 12-04-2005 6:24pm

anybody any ideas on release dates, could be the phone of my dreams

KillerShamrock · 12-04-2005 7:27pm

To be sold in the shops over here it should be around the year 2020. Should be going on sale simfree on some Internet sites either by the end of april or the end of may

sharkman · 22-04-2005 12:31pm

Another good review at ThreeGmobile .

Some nice new features !

Stephen · 23-04-2005 10:29pm

And i thought my K700 was good!

Impressive.

sharkman · 01-05-2005 9:21am

Looks like release is going to be very soon . Look here

KillerShamrock · 01-05-2005 10:43am

Thats for scandinavia only plus there is no release date on that page. the uk CPW have it set for a may release so hopefully online stores get it soon and then we can buy it from them.

sharkman · 01-05-2005 11:59am

Seems like May 18th is the Global Release .

dshakey · 01-05-2005 10:25pm

sharkman where do you get your information form?

sharkman · 02-05-2005 3:56pm

More Here

dshakey · 02-05-2005 3:59pm

thanks..
do ya think vodafone will have it by then.. or will it be june july time they get it on thier network. think ill have to get it sim free

Cyrus · 02-05-2005 4:03pm

vodafone, are you joking, they have only just got the k700i and the s700i now, itll be september at least

dshakey · 02-05-2005 4:38pm

i have noticed from reading the forums.. but the nokia 6230i is only out a few weeks and it will be on the network from june. so im guessin gif the k750 comes out in mid may then itll be july august before we see the phone..

think sim free is the way to go.
pixmania have the phone for release on the 30 june and at a price of € 468.

sharkman, your info on price and release date where did you get it.. its not on the sonyericsson site!!

wheresmybeaver · 02-05-2005 9:44pm

Hopefully the K750 will be more reliable for me than previous Sony Ericsson phones.. Joystick broke after just over a year of having a T610, now I've had my K700 for about 6 months, joystick getting flaky again.. whats the story!

I'll plough on for as long as I can with my K700. Won't buy the K750 until I see the price around the €350 region.. Might be waiting a while!

Sarn · 03-05-2005 10:08am

It should only be between €300 and 350 on release. SE have it priced at GBP 199 VAT incl. Pricewise it's supposed to slot into the K700 bracket when released. Pixmania seem seriously overpriced, compare the price of the K700 to expansys.

http://www.expansys.ie/product.asp?code=K700

http://www.pixmania.com/ie/uk/49680/art/sony-ericsson/k700.html

I'm sure there'll be better deals when the k750i is released.

PhoenixRising · 03-05-2005 10:23am

When the K700i was first released it was around the €450 mark. The K750i, will be around the same when it's released. Could be even closer to the €500 initially.

As for those waiting to see the K750i on the Vodafone network, you'll have a long wait, if you even see it at all. Vodafone are just releasing the K700i here, almost a year to the day from when it was released. They are not known for getting the latest handsets to the Irish market quickly. Sure they were still flogging Nokia 3310's to the Irish public until recently. :rolleyes:

Scruff · 03-05-2005 10:55am

Finally a phone that seems to have everything i want. Was thinking of getting a nokia 6230 but think i'might wiat for this. Hope to fook that Vodafone bring it out sooner rather than later. But sure i havent used my vodafone upgrade in 4 years so suppose am in no rush. :rolleyes:

The tax man · 04-05-2005 7:47pm

Sent an e-mail to mobilerepair.de to see if they'll have it when released(and a price)
When the k700i was released they were the cheapest on the net so fingers crossed for a good reply.(a few people on boards bought their 700's from this site.phones were unlocked BUT had o2 software)
I'll let you know what I get back from them.

dshakey · 05-05-2005 11:04am

the new car phone ware magazine for this month, does no have the k700.. are they making way for thew new k750i.
i wonder!!

Scruff · 05-05-2005 11:26am

a mate of mine working in vodafone was talking to the guy testing the k750i and he reckons they'll be finished certifying it by the end of the month and it'll be in the shops about 2 weeks after that. He was playing with it for a few mins as well and was pretty impressed.

dshakey · 06-05-2005 9:50pm

this website is releasing the k750i on the 23th of may for $575 around €440

oneweb · 06-05-2005 10:11pm

Couldn't wait, so I got a K700i instead. All I can say is WOW!!

It's a great lil thing, love it already.

dshakey · 06-05-2005 11:34pm

dshakey · 06-05-2005 11:52pm

sorry i have bad news...

it has been released but that phone is for the chin a market its on the top of the page. but some people have left remarks. and they say the phone has been released in london, who knows..

dshakey · 07-05-2005 1:36pm

heres an interview with one of the developers of the k750.

http://www.mobile-review.com/articles/2005/clara-interview-en.shtml

monaghanforsam · 07-05-2005 1:38pm

is the k750 the 2mega pixel camera phone

monaghanforsam · 07-05-2005 1:41pm

the bad thing about it is it only takes duo stick and the highest you can get in duo is 128mb it would be better if it took a mmc card as u can get a 1gb mmc card and the k750i is the phone with the 2 mega pixel camera on it my brother is going to get that up the north for free as a contract phone

Don't know where you read that.

It takes Memory Stick Duo Pro, which at present goes up to 1GB, with higher capacities planned.

Sarn · 07-05-2005 2:09pm

It actually takes ms pro duo, so you can have up to 2GB. A bit expensive though for that amount of stoarage. 1GB will suit me nicely.

monaghanforsam · 07-05-2005 2:10pm

ahh i was looking at a pic and it said memory stick duo

Yet again , a little bit of punctuation would help when reading your posts .

Your bro will be waiting to get one of these free !

dshakey · 09-05-2005 9:28am

the k750i for €278 yes €278 here is the site, but its in german (i think) and i cant tell if they deliver to Ireland and how much. can somebody translate it please

dshakey · 09-05-2005 9:42am

ok i did a bit of translating myself with babel fish.. any way i dont think it can be deliveried to ireland. i tried to register and they had most european countries. they even had northern ireland, but no republic, so i dont know. if any one can figure it. it would be great.
plus i think way its so cheap is because the vat is at 19%

Berger · 09-05-2005 10:18am

€278? Says €379 for me!

dshakey · 09-05-2005 10:49am

it was €278 this morning. i got this from another forum

Junglemaxx, I've just called the shop and the price is without the 19% tax. It was a mistake.
So the price incl. 19% tax is € 330,82, with sending costs it will be €339,82. The phone will be available next week. BTW. I saw the phone for €328 at a other webshop in Holland, that price is including sending costs.

edit: They fixed the price at €329 as you can see when you click the link in the post above.

weeslip · 09-05-2005 11:16am

so if i go and grab this puppy in the next couple of weeks and kick it off on the o2 network in ireland will i be good to go??

Eain

dshakey · 09-05-2005 11:37am
