Sony Ericsson k750i v K610i

Atomic Pineapple

ok i want one of these phones currently i want the k610i more cos i think it looks nicer, its got basically the same as the k750i but with memory stick capability, anything the k750i has over the k610i?

both of them are available for €150 but the k750i is on meteor and the k610i is only available on 3 and I want to stay with meteor, so would it be possible to buy the phone on the 3 network and get it unlocked straight away?

The K750i has a joystick that keeps breaking.

In fairness though, the K750i does have a light, which can come in handy. I prefer the K610i, though, because it's smaller, lighter, has 3G and it's a newer model.

There isn't a huge deal to choose between the two. The k610 lacks the light/flash of the k750, however at the same time it does pack 3g. Nothing "wrong" with either phone as such.

I recently got a K610i on a free upgrade from 3. It's nice. It's small and light for a 3G phone and looks good. I have never used a K750i so can't compare.

Assuming a K610i can take a 2G SIM, you will need to go through some pain and cost to get it unlocked and generic firmware. I wouldn't see much point in using a 3G phone on a 2G network.

hhhmmm.....thought the k610i had a flash?

might just settle on the k750i then, not sure about it in red or black though, it looks like a bit of a brick

Sam Vimes

the k610 doesn't have a radio either

k750i has auto focus k750i v K610i

the w810i looks like its pretty good but is it worth an extra €100?

Yes draffodx, it is. Battery life is sweet, walkman features add to it and the screen is crystal. Camera seems to perform better also.

yeh i should go for it, screw it, just a few nights of drinking to sarcrifice

Atomic Pineapple

oh neither the k750i or the w810i have a flash do they?

K750i has a flash, as already stated by other posters. Not sure about the w800i, w means walkman so i doubt it will have a flash, but i have never used one so could be wrong.

K750i does not have a flash (it does have a crappy photo light, no comparison). You can buy a flash adapter though which works very well.

I've had mine a year and a half now and the only negative would be that the joystick gets a little unresponsive. Having the option of a radio, 2GB of music and a pretty good camera in one device is great.

hhhmmm a flash adapter sounds dodgy, how does that work? i assume its a wired device that just hangs lose on its own and isnt fitted onto the phone?
