Sony Ericsson K750

Hi again...
I have been reading several comments and queries and decided to clarify a few (if not all).
->The CAMERA of the k750i is THE best 2MP mobile camera ever, and also beats the quality of some 3MP mobile cameras. I would again suggest using the flash attachment and the software for perfect pictures. Do not expect 100% Digital Camera quality, though I can say you may expect upto 80% quality. (For more info, email)
->The ZOOM is not available in full resolution ONLY in the new firmware, so if someone got the phone like 6 months ago and has not upgraded the firmware, zooming is possible in 2MP resolution. (By the way, it is my personal opinion not to use digital zoom... the cropping takes out the quality of the picture)
->The SOUND volume via ear/headphones is only weak in the newer firmware (R1DB001 to be precise). Again older firmware phones have remarkable sound quality at high volume, especially the bass. (Best firmware would be R1CA021). You can Flash the Firmware to increase the volume, but it's not recommended. Use the equaliser to maximise sound.
->You CANNOT read Office documents on the phone. You can read TEXT files (*.txt) though, using some java applications. (In case anyone wants to know, please email. NOTE: Installing third party applications will void you of your warranty if it corrupts your phone)
->You CAN convert the k750i to the w800i, by just Flashing firmwares. I have tried it, and it works brilliantly, but I cannot guarantee it'll work for others. IMP NOTE: Flashing to third party firmwares immediately voids the phone warranty. You may do this at your own risk.
->I still do not know if you can transfer SMSes to the Memory card, or to the PC, because neither have I tried it, nor do I have the use for it. If anyone knows about how to go about it, whether by application or by Flashing, please comment.
->I can now CONFIRM that the phone supports any branded 2 GB Memory Stick Pro Duo. Phone runs really fast (even when MS is 90% loaded. It is wise to keep about 100 - 150 MB free on the 2 GB Stick, always), and has never hanged after the initial 5 days. I will test the phone with a 4 GB Stick as soon as I can.
->The phone works really fast even if the phone memory is 90% full. This is mainly because there is no OS. Although I again advice keeping 10 MB free on the phone memory. (What with the 2 GB card, who'd wanna use the 34 MB??)
->VIDEO RECORDING is unlimited in the High Quality mode, when you save the file on the Memory Stick, AND you have at least a 512 MB MS with 100 MB free. 1 min video rec. approx = 500-600 KB, so do the math! Oh, the battery would only last for about 3-4 hours or so of continuous recording, so that's another factor to consider...
->The JOYSTICK does NOT give any problems if you keep it clean regularly. Just remove the dust with a lens cleaner, and blow hard while moving the joystick, and that should do. Use the phone with care, and it will last long.
->The BATTERY life is decent enough, but the INDICATOR is a deceiver. If you play Music in the loudspeakers for a long while, or use the Camera continuously, then it will last for a short time, like 3/4 hours. But what do you expect... Many Digital Cameras also die out in 3/4 hours continuous use. Under normal use, which is 1 hour music through earphones, 45 mins talk, about 45 mins Camera On, the phone roughly lasts 2.5 days. So no complaints there. (By the way, the battery lasted 1.5 hours of music time when it showed 10%.)
->There ARE third party applications that allow you to lock SMS and/or files, but I have not tested any, and cannot recommend them. The is NO way to lock the KEYPAD with a security code.
->The REMOTE CONTROL thing in the entertainment menu is used to control your PC remotely (using Bluetooth). You can control the Media player, or the Desktop. Presenter is used to change slides in a Powerpoint presentation. It's a real useful tool for presentations. (You need bluetooth on the PC/Laptop for that, though).
->The PHONEBOOK MAY be upgraded to 1000 entries using Flashing, but again, I am not sure. Flashing is risky business, and is only for the experts, unless you wanna turn your phone into a brick.
Sorry for the long comment, but I do hope that a lotta people have had their doubts cleared. To all those who had bad experiences with the phone, its sheer bad luck. Please feel free to email me about any query, or with anything new about the phone.
Till next time... Adios! k750i RULES!!

chep26, set the video quality to high then you can take video for as long as your memory allows.
ray, your card could be counterfeit, there are a lot going around especially the sony. Try a genuine sony or sandisk card. Theres info on the net on how to spot a real from a fake card.
ive ordered a 2gb sandisk myself and will post a review here when it arrives.

It's the best phone somebody could buy at such a low cost but it's main DISATVANTAGE is the battery, it simply dies out QUICKLY
