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

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 4:41pm

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 4:50pm

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

There's another good review here

jesus_thats_gre · 31-03-2005 5:18pm

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 5:33pm

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

jesus_thats_gre · 31-03-2005 5:47pm

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)..

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

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)

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

oneweb · 12-04-2005 11:14am

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 7:24pm

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

KillerShamrock · 12-04-2005 8:27pm

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 1:31pm

Another good review at ThreeGmobile .

Some nice new features !

Stephen · 23-04-2005 11:29pm

And i thought my K700 was good!

Impressive.

sharkman · 01-05-2005 10:21am

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

KillerShamrock · 01-05-2005 11:43am

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 12:59pm

Seems like May 18th is the Global Release .

dshakey · 01-05-2005 11:25pm

sharkman where do you get your information form?

sharkman · 02-05-2005 4:56pm

More Here

dshakey · 02-05-2005 4:59pm

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 5:03pm

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

dshakey · 02-05-2005 5:38pm

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 10:44pm

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 11:08am

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.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 11:23am

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 11:55am

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:
