MYSTER-E,

http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=global&lc=en&ver=4001&template=ps1&zone=ps&lm=ps1&pid=10242

There is a PDF file there that tells you exactly how to do it.

@DoUL, correct me if I am wrong, thanks :)

    First you'll have to install your phone on your PC, check my post to "maani" in my posting in page 4 to know how to install your K750 into your PC -first check that your PC meets the minimum requirements found on the bundled CD envelop-.
    Second, to view a video on a K750 screen, you'll need to convert that video into MPEG4 (MP4) format or 3GP format -MP4 is recommended mostly- using any video converting application -if you don't know any, start with MpegAble X4 Live and ImToo-, not only converting the format but also scaling the resolution down to 176*144 is required in order to be able to watch/view any video smoothly on a K750 screen -just read these guide lines to know what you need to do http://3gp.spawnweb.dk/ -.
    Third, after completing first and second, follow the steps provided by "Techno madman" to copy the videos into your K750.
    HAVE FUN.///

    Hey @doul how do you get MpegAble X4 Live because i read wat it said on the link but i dont no how to get that program or wat ever it is. and i got more ?'s
    -How do you upgrade the filmware or watever it is??

          check this page, it has all the specs. -and release dates- of each and every firmware:
          http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=92737&start=0
          Regarding your questions, it should neither be a risky thing to do nor it will render your phone useless as long as it's been done properly, but in case anything bad happen -you really NEVER know-, you can take your phone to any SE customer care center and it'll be fixed.
          Also, you need not to copy parts from the user whom you're gonna address your posting to post, just write numbers if he used them, and for he certainly know his posting/questions, he'll understand you.

          HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY, Very long time no seen, how have you been ??
          Your questions "jon" already answered them, my answers will perfectly matches his ones, so no need to repeat them.
          I'll just comment on the USB transfer issue, it was a bug in the firmware itself, not a random thing, so firmware updating will elliminate that for those who still face this issue.
          Also, the battery is exactly as "jon" said, gives very good stand-by times -5 to 6, sometimes 7, days in my case-, but once it's on a continuous heavy usage, a day and a half lasting would be great, but should I repeat the whole previous posting again ??
          Regarding the firmware question, I've already answered his (your) question, just read it above.

            >>1. Any joystick issues?
            That depends how lucky you are. No, I mean it. It really does. Some people have problems, some people don't. Depends the quality of the material used, where it was made etc...My joystick started playing up two weeks after I bought my phone but now for some strange reason it is back to normal.

            2. Any file transfer issues? many people complained that it just does not work when they use the software provided with the phone and try transferring MP3 files.

            I have never had that problem.

            3. Latest firmware and what are the enhancements?

            I don't know :) See my question below :)

            4. I read your post about the batteries being weak. But, this phone's battery works at least 2 days under full load right?

            My battery lasts at least 3 days normal usage. It can go to four depending on how you use the phone. If you play MP3s, the battery drains very quickly, literally which makes me wonder what's the point of having an MP3 phone really. Play like 4 minute song and like 10-15% of the battery charge will be gone. If you turn the phone off and on again, for some strange reason, my battery percentage goes back up a few percent.

                Hi again :) I'd like to know how old is my firmware? The version is: R1L002

                I don't have any problems with the phone at all at the moment except for the speaker volume being a bit soft and also when you normally talk (speaker off) the volume is a bit soft even though it is set to max.

                Will new firmware fix these deficiencies? I downloaded everything I need, including the UpdateService_EN.pdf which is the instructions. Also, can the firmware updated render my phone useless? Is it risky? May be they do mention it in their EULA...

                    Forgot to tell you that repeated random/unexpected/unexplained hangs, can be eliminated with a firmware update.

                      SE K750 doesn't support Micro SD, it only supports MS Duo and MS Duo Pro, you can get those from Sony or from Sandisk.

                      When you synchronise your phone contacs with your PC, you can manage them using your default PC phone book/contact lister (Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express).

                      Battery is week in early/first days of K750 usage.
                      A matter of fact, battery is the most weekest part in all electro-devices (Laptops, PDA's, MP3 players and mobiles), with every new sunrise, a new technology is being invented which consumes more and more power than the old ones, and the same old Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride or Lithium-Ion battery types are still to be used with no new researches made to develop a new battery type/technology which can last longer.
                      The recent shift to use solar cells in laptops and MP3 players, is just an unstated recognition of currently used battery technologies failure.
                      With more and more new high demanded electro-devices specifications with the same battery technologies of today, a mobile with a stand-by of a complete 24 hours, will be a top notch thing.
                      In CPU and VGA they can fine tune/use finner manufacturing processes, i.e. shifting from .11 micron to .9 micron will allow them to manufacturer a chip to do the same -even higher- tasks than current chips yet with fewer tansistors which means less power consumption, but what then ??
                      Battery is week in ALL mobiles with K750 similar features, not in K750 only.

                      I don't know a place for that, google it or look for it in SE web site itself.

                      Congrats.
                      But don't you remember that you've already selected the region before downloading SEUS package/software itself from SE support page ?? Seems that you forget very quickly ;)

                                        yeh that would be a good idea but the only floor is a 2gb card would cots about $350 australian and the phone already cost about $600 australian just think about it and look around at different models and if u r using it for mp3 mainly do u needa spend so much money like y not the w550 or wateva
