How much was the SE750 on Meteor. I can't seem to find it on the website. Or was this bought through Carphonewarehouse?

gotten through carphone but on meteor, not simfree.
varies depending on option you go on, but 169 for talk 200...
149 for talk 400 etc, down to 109 for highest tariff I think.

Thanks. CPW probably dont do Meteor upgrades. I'll have to wait until Meteor do it. By the time that happens the phone will be in the bargains section

copacetic

pretty sure CPW do Meteor upgrades, not 100% but pretty sure (assuming you are on a bill?)...

Yep only did it on Monday, worked monday night and not since.

Finally got around to installing my CK3100 at the weekend.

So far car kit and K750i (R1N035 firmware) are working perfectly together.

Am very happy with CK3100, great sound quality and really excellent voice recognition.

From the Sony web site about 10 days ago, my phone is factory unbranded, I believe they take longer to issue updates for branded models

I just tried my unbranded sim free one (from Thailand, R1L002) through the SE website and got these messages:

In the Java app: "There are currently no service for devices belonging to your operator"
Then back on the webpage: "Your device is not permitted to use this service
Your operator does not approve the use of this service with this device.
We look forward to assisting you again soon.
Thank you for using the Sony Ericsson Update Service!"

Bugger.

Tried DaVinci, but you can only get the R1L002 release for the 750i. If you want to update to the 800 you need a special cable. Am I right?

wolfman

Yes Pataman. You need a special cable to flash this
Davinci cable set which includes old k700 type head and new k750 head
Have a few sets left but they are flying out

vodafone will only offer the silver one and it will be branded.
I left them as they have been saying it will be available 'soon' for months, when I rang at the start of september all they could say is 'it is showing up as available at end of August'.

I pointed out it wasn't available - 'yeah, but that's all it says here'.

I am very happy with meteor so far, more minutes, some free texts etc etc..
much better value and so far no coverage issues..

aloleary, silver k750i? dont you mean the D750i

you can actually get siver housing for the k750i

Tazz T

Now on the Meteor website for 79 euro billpay for Talk 400 or 129 for Talk 40.

I can upgrade for 100.

That's me sold. I'll get one of those tomorrow.

Well I'm interested in Vodafone as although I live in Dublin I am from Valentia Island where I'm regularly at so coverage even of 02 is kinda flakey compared with Vodafone which even works when I'm out a bit on the boat !!

What I am waiting for really though is the P950 (Hermoine) which is due to be announced in the next couple of weeks... it will have all the features of the P910i but in a smaller form factor and with ... wlan !!!!

Was just thinking of getting the K750i or D750 as an cheap upgrade option while waiting... but as you've all have said nothing concrete from Vodafone

i've definelately seen ad's on dublin busses advertising the the k750i for vodafone.

the ad also had a picture of the phone in the black casing and not silver.

i've yet to go in and ask them how much it will be, might go into them tomorrow.

that's weird, in england you can also only get the branded silver one. are you sure they were vodafone ads you saw and not just ads for the phone itself?

not sure they will be any help in the shops, it is now 2-3 months after they originally planned to release it and my understanding was they were having problems with the branded handsets which have slightly different FW disabling some features like setting mp3s as ringtones.

japjap

I think the O2 shops only stock the black one

mik_da_man

Voda have the K750i all right,
saw one in swords today - silver and €169
looks nice.

Thinking of getting one but have a Q for anyone with one - Does the Bluetooth work ok?
i heard of some probs, and bluetooth is important for me!

just the version of code on the phone, note that the one above isn't the latest.

You just go to the website and it talks you throught the process...
