The hardware of W800 and k750 is the same, only changes software. By the way you may change SEk750i software with W800i.... And use walkman function in K750i even when the phone isn't turned on, like w800

Since all settings have been used in conversion -among which of course are the correct resolution and audio output frequency settings-, then the problem isn't in the converted video itself, it could be a problem in the video engine in the firmware.
Before updating the firmware, try to make a final conversion test using these settings just to make sure that nothing is missing, even the smallest piece, then see if it won't freeze or it will still do it to begin thinking about the firmware updating process -the settings are descriped for MPEGable X4 Live converter, but you should find the same settings in ImToo software-:

I've already compared between these two models just two days ago -a basic comparison in fact-, just check my post addressed to "anooser & ALL K750 VS. W800 Wonderers" in my posting in page 2 or 3.
Regadring W800 price, I'm sorry but I don't have its current price in Egypt.

- You upgrade form SE official site "www.sonyericsson.com", to learn how to manually update your firmware, please read my post addressed to "maani" in my posting in page 31 or 32 -just go to page two and manually change "1090p2.php" to "1090p31.php", or just add "p31" between "1090" and ".php" in the "Address" bar and press "Enter" to go directly to page 31-.
- No, nothing bad or wrong should happen to your device or your data during & after the updating process as long as you've followed the correct procedures -I recommend a data back-up step before updating the firmware, when you finish installing your device on your PC OS, you'll be able to send the data which is stored on your MS by opening this location: "My Computer\Removable Disk\MSSEMC\Media files" and your shared memory by going to that location: "Desktop\Sony Ericsson File Manager\(your phone name)\Phone memory\Phone memory", then enter each folder and copy all the data inside of it into any location in your HDD-.
- It depends whether if you're facing bugs or not, or will benefit from/are interested in the added performance boost & features or not, check this page out and compare the pros. and cons. of your current working firmware and the latest firmware available -down the same first posting you'll find the method of how to check your current working firmware version-:

- Open the camera lens cover, go to "Video" mode, click on "Settings", move the joystick once in right-hand direction to "Shoot mode" tab, and then select "High quality video", this should make your video recording goes unlimited till your memory is full.
- Read the manual about it, in short, it's a word that makes the phone enters the hands-free/voice calling mode.
- Go to phone menu, go to "Settings", move the joystick in right-hand direction till the last tab named "Connectivity", click on "Bluetooth", click on "Power save" and then select "Off", this should allow your device to connect to several devices at the same time.
Read the manual please.

I think your mean the key bad not the joystick.

Before you open the lens cover, just set the phone into silent mode, if you're in a country that isn't firm with privacy laws applying, the shutter sound will be muted.
It's not about the firmware versions, we can't select which firmware to update to anyway as we're only allowed to update to the latest available firmware directly, it's about which country firmware are you using, check my post addressed to "maani" in my posting in page 31 or 32 -just go to page two and manually change "1090p2.php" to "1090p31.php", or just add "p31" between "1090" and ".php" in the "Address" bar and press "Enter" to go directly to page 31-, just make sure to choose another region & country that are also using your spoken language in step one if silent mode didn't mute the shutter sound.

They need to be cleaned every now and then, just blow some air in its hole.

Auto focus is more about quality, color rendering & blending is a lens responsibility which focusing has nothing to do with it.

IMHO the SE W800i is a better buy compared 2 the K750i. It only costs a little more in Singapore BUT u get a WALKMAN fone + 512mb memory card. Then again, this is also provided u can accept the white/orange colour combination of W800i. Yes, it looks cool 2 me, but i find it too feminine.

K750i's black/silver colour is more suitable for matured/ conservative guys.

Thx 4 the correction.

Guess it must b K750i's 'auto-focus' feature.

I wish 2 add tat i own both the K750i & nokia 6280.

Although both r 2megapixel fones, K750i shoots better foto. Could it b its carl zeis lens working wonders 4 SE? :)

Unfortunately if u frequently use text msging, then u may find it a little frustrating coz it requires more key-press compared 2 nokia fones. And also K750i's calendar/ appt features sux bigh time.

Thus, im currently using my 6280, & my K750i is a reserve fone.

There r many pros & cons comparing the K750i & the nokia 6280. It all depends on wat the individual's priority r when getting a mobile fone.

1 more thing, apparently both SE & nokia fones r very prone 2 dust 'mysteriously' getting into the display. Nowadays i try 2 make it a habit tat if i need 2 leave my fone 4 a long period of time, i place it face-down on a piece of cloth.

B4 these two fones, i was using the nokia 6610.

Hey everyone,
I just got this phone and it's great. The camera quality is one of the best and the mp3s are good as well. I just have one problem. The camera shutter sound cannot be turned off. I read the review of this phone and they said that there are some firmware versions that allow you to turn it off. Does anyone know which firmware versions allow this and how I can change my firmware?
Thanks.

These are great phones, the camera is brilliant, and the user interface is fine, BUT that ******* joystick! Had mine 5 months and the joystick is basically useless. It takes me 5 minutes to type a single message that would have taken 20 seconds before. Grrrr! They've had long enough to sort this design out, surely?

K750 price nowadays in Egypt is around 2400 LE -2450 or 2499 don't remember exactly-, and I don't think that it will change untill the lanuching of K790 and K800 in next June and July.
As for the MS prices, I'm afraid that I don't have the latest prices, last time I asked about them -around 4 months ago, or maybe more- 1 GB of Sandisk MS was around 750 LE and 1 GB of Sony MS was around 1100 LE, 512 Sandisk was around 470-500 LE and don't remember the price of 512 Sony at that time.
Anyway, all kinds of memory suffers from frequent price changes -ups and downs- in all levels and kinds, don't bother yourself with MS prices now for I doubt that it will be the same prices at the time in which you buy the phone.

Nothing wrong in your steps ya man, wa no worries at all, wala ta3ab wala 7aga.
Seems that SE server was down at that time, try it again in another time and it should work, also try to test it on a broadband/DSL connection if you're on a dial-up.

1. I've wrote a basic comparison between these two models, it's in my posting down this page -could be moved to be page 2 after puplishing this posting- addressed to "anooser & ALL K750 VS. W800 Wonderers", you may need to check it.
2. Regarding the camera cover mechanism, I don't know, K750 mechanism suits me more, it's a matter of your taste anyway, but K750 one is NOT hard at all, instead of moving a button -like in W800-, you directly move the cover itself with your thumb.
3. There are no direct comparison between K750 and W800 shots, cause it's illogical to compare the same lens in different models -say a Carl Zeiss optics lens model x was used in a Canon and the same exact lens model was used in a Nikon, should we expect any difference in quality ??-, anyway, you can search for personal comparisons in other forums, but don't expect to see even the slightest difference in quality.

dear gurus (e.g. @DoUL et al) & current k750i users out there:

am on verge of buying but wanna do last check plse.

1. if offered at same price, which is better buy - k750i or w800i ?

2. i am really going for camera function of the SE. w800i's camera cover seem to look less robust or user-friendly than k750i's. true or false?

3. anyone who'd compared picture quality plse comment!

thank you all in advance !
