                Indeed, MP4 files are smaller than MP3 ones in size, but it'll never sound better than an original MP3 file -smaller size ALWAYS means higher compression level, and with compression, quality will always suffer/be reduced- especially in high range elements (treble).

                That I don't know about, when it tells you that your phone is up to date, there should be a "Continue" button -some cases, after clicking on it, the R1A firmware remained the same, but on the second try, it updated it successfully to R1BC-.
                I did a research in several forums, and found some cases just like yours, other people do have the "Continue" button -weird as SEUS automatically update your SEUS core once a new SEUS version is loaded on the server, and people with these two cases are supposed to run the same version, I think it differs in location of each one-, I even contacted SE and they told me that R1A is the latest one -I'm still on R1A till now and didn't do the updating yet -cause my "Start" button is not working while having everything (Flash, JAVA & SEUS) updated to the latest version, and I'm kinda not having a spare time to format my OS and re-install everything, also R1A is working fine for me-.
                I began to suspect that R1BC is indeed the next firmware, but it someway leaked into SE servers while it's still beta/in testing steps -or it's not targeted to all K750's-, that's why SE is denying it and updated the (SEUS) to remove the "Continue" button -in places where R1BC shouldn't be used, just if that place-dependant theory is correct-, it's only a suspect.
                You'll have to do some more research about your case -and believe me, from what I saw, R1BC cases are a lot and differs from one to another-, my advice to you is, If it ain't broken, don't fix it, R1A seems to be more reliable at this time, just wait untill (SEUS) automatically update your device into R1BC without the need to force it to do so.

                Just as "Unidentified_2" told you, plus "SIMPLY" I prefer to spend the time in helping people instead of wasting it in chat rooms.

                Really ?? What language is that ??!! I know a little about american streets/common/public language, but this is the first time to hear that word !
                "cheng" definitely doesn't sound english/american but it's more like an asian name -forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm not a sociologist-, but he's suppused to be writting english.

                Based on "bharat"'s explanation, no, you can only do the opposite.
                You can create groups and choose which to accept calls from, but not to choose which not to accept calls from.
                You may google for a software that allows you to do so -I've heared that a software is available for symbian OS based mobiles that can block certain callers, search for a similar one for K750-.

                    Hi thanks for getting back to me regarding the (SEUS) program for downloading newer versions of firmware, however im still having problems with this. you said to me previously to click on " continue/update anyway" when it says "NO UPDATES AVAILABLE FOR YOUR PHONE". There is no option for this in the program. My version of the firmware is "R1AA008" and the newer one that i need is "R1BC002" please help me to get this firmware.. sorry for being annoying with this.

                        Hey Dan the official 3.5mm adaptor from SE is the hpm-70. This comes with the w800 and other phones and can be bought seperately.

                          - Use it untill it auto. switch itself due to no energy left in the battery, charge it for 2 hours -while it's still switched off-, and it will be fully charged.
                          - Blow some air in the joystick hole/place, that should makes it work.

                          No, so far we don't have that option, though there is "Saved messages" folder, but it still shares the same 200-250 KB of messages share in the shared memory -still, it's a different folder than the "Inbox" ;)-.

                          You're asking for a software that will allow you to convert into a format that you don't know and are not familiar with !! SPLENDID !
                          Anyway, M4A is an audio format, usually M4A files are renamed into MP4, they are both identical in quality and bit rate ranges -as far as I know-, you may google to know their exact differences and the unique specifications of M4A format.
                          iTunes is the best, it's free, and I don't know another software.

                          EDGE is basically an extended version of GPRS, some times it's even called "EGPRS".
                          If you're familiar with GPRS, EDGE is just an enhacement that allow your device to send/receive data much faster -about 3 times that of GPRS speed- through WEB/WAB.
                          Just google for the detaild description of GPRS and EDGE.

                          If you hear the clicking/shooting/capturing sound but the pictures are no more being saved, then it's a firmware bug.
                          If you don't hear that sound at all, then your camera capturing button is no more working, take your phone to your nearest SE customer care center for repairing.
                          Updating the firmware will also solve those freezing issues.

                          Some can be deleated by changing their locations from the PC -connect the device to your PC, and move the files through windows explorer or the phone "File Manager" software- some will be deleted also from your PC but no location changing is required, while others can't be deleted either from the phone menu or using PC.

                          So far we can't view both "Phone contacts" and "SIM contacts" at the same time, you can only make your phone to display "Phone contacts" by default and go to that location "phone menu/Contacts/Options/SIM contacts" to display your SIM contacs and make any action you desire with them -call or send a message, etc..-.

                          Well, it's just so unfair to generalize your case, a design flaw/fault in design !!!! GEEZ !! If that's the case, why am I not having it too ??!! Why have I heard about it only 3 or 4 times before !! Well, as far as I know, a design flaw will render all units faulty, not a unit with faults while others -based on the same design- working great, these cases are called faulty devices at the hardware level, but no matter what you build your device with -materials-, it will still have that error, cause the design itself is wrong, not the used materials, and that isn't the case in K750 production line -yes, some shipments DID include SOME faulty units at internal "PCB" and external "hardware" levels, but the design has nothiong to do with it-.
                          A CPU with design flaws -say Intel P4 Netburst core/architecture-, due to design flaws, all chips made with this core do have a very high heat dissipation, the question is, will there be any chance to buy a CPU based on/built with that core with a low heat dissipation/low working temperature ?? If it's an error in the design, why it's not happening with all units ??
                          Though I liked your words, but at this point exactly, you sounded very illogical, hope you got my point.
                          Regarding the freezing/restarts issues, M$ -also known as Microsoft, the giant software maker- do have security issues in their OS, that's why they have craeted patches and that "System Update" feature -you know, nothing is perfect after all-, SE also is doing the same, you can update your firmware to eliminate such issues -BTW, not all companies do give their customers such feature, only SE and Motorola as far as I know-.

                            The K750 is a nice little phone, when it works (more on that later) it really is impressive how much they managed to pack into one very small phone. It's no "jack of all trades" either, mp3's play in perfect quality through headphones (though there is sadly no officially availabe adaptors to use decent headphones....ebay provides non-approved 3.5mm jacks though - perfect) and even sound acceptable through the built in speaker, video quality is great when video is encoded at the optimimum settings and sound quality when making calls is second to none. It also has a good battery life, if you use it strictly as a phone it can go for a week. Use any of the features at all though and it can be drained in a few hours. Particularly if you use the in built camera a lot as I do.
                            The camera is probably the main selling point of the phone and the job it does is great, while is sometimes tends to blur the background in some photos the close up ability is amazing for a phone camera and often, with ideal light, can produce photos comparable to those from a dedicated digicam. While it's quite poor in dark conditions, add the flash and things improve a tad. In dark rooms the shots are impossible to tell from those of a far superior camera, i've suprised many with my photos on various internet forums, myself included. There's plenty more to mention, but to be honest after my experience with my k7 I shouldn't be praising it at all.
                            It's known that all phones these days have problems, most are guarenteed to freeze at least once a week, sometimes the problems are serious enough to render a phone unusable. If you look on google for "k750 problems" you'll see a few mentions of 1, 2, 3 (amongst other keys) ceasing to work and the owners then returning them under warentee only to be told they were "liquid damaged", SE have denied it to be a problem with the handset but it's clearly a fault in design. It would seem the legs on one particular componant on the PCB are very suseptable to any moisture, even that of being in a pocket for example, thus the owners are the phone is "BER" due to liquid damage and are left to face having to pay for another phone. While the reason for the damage is technically true, it's a very weak and frankly dishonest way to cover up their poor design, one which will sadly put me off their phones for life now.
                            To be fair phones do live a testing life with me, give me any phone and within a week I could list every single fault and bug in it, but this is the shortest lifespan of any phone i've ever had. I'm currently forced into using a 4 year old Nokia 3650 brick, at least it still works though! I don't like Nokias but it looks like they'll be the ones making my next phone.

                                these offers larger call records ie. 1000*24
                                in addition both r walkman phones ie da clearest music phones in da world they r just gr8.
                                some time ago i was also a noika fan having 6600 & 7260 but now nokias r making crap only ,go for se they r just gr8

                                  I have been only using Nokia brand for over 10 years now. Recently wanted to change the brand and is looking for SonyEricsson. K750i interests me due to its look but the phone contacts is my limitation i.e. it contains only 500 (multiple) but my requirement is upto 1000. SE doesn't work SIM & Phone contacts together otherwise also. Can I change these options in K750i???? I know there would be K790/K800 very soon in the Asian market which would have over 500 phone contacts. But I need to change my phone soon. Is any or SE can advice me on this issue.
                                  Thanks in advance
