New Phone = Tech Nirvana
For the last year I’ve had a Sony Ericsson K700 which I have been mighty impressed with, the only drawbacks being the limited memory for MP3’s and the average camera. Luckily, Sony Ericsson released the K750 which, amazingly enough, addresses exactly the drawbacks I had.
So with my old contract now finished it was time to bin it and move up to the K750. Well, after a few days of playing with it I am seriously impressed.
Standout features?
There’s may to choose from but the top three would be:
Even the little touches show you that this is a phone that is fantastically well thought out.
For example take something as basic as the LED “flash” for the camera, with the K750:
Very very few. I still prefer the K700 as a phone as it’s a bit sleeker and looks better but maybe it’s just because I’m used to that model. Also only supplying a 64MB memory card is a bit crap.

In One Sentence?
It’s the Swiss army knife of mobiles. It’s a good Camera, a good MP3 player and good phone. If you can manage to download Opera Mini, you can use it to browse the web as well.
There’s nothing available on the market to touch it at the moment and I think it’ll be a future classic. ¶ 10:56 PM
So with my old contract now finished it was time to bin it and move up to the K750. Well, after a few days of playing with it I am seriously impressed.
Standout features?
There’s may to choose from but the top three would be:
- Camera – a two megapixel monster that takes superb pictures.
- Expansion Capability – Memory card can be upgraded to two (or four?) Gig!
- Battery life – with my old K700 I had to charge everyday and Bluetooth usage would visibly reduce the battery in a few minutes – no such problems with the K750, only need to charge it every two to three days even with fairly intense useage.
Even the little touches show you that this is a phone that is fantastically well thought out.
For example take something as basic as the LED “flash” for the camera, with the K750:
- There are two LED’s = easily bright enough to scare a mogwai
- You can switch it on independently of the Camera with two button “clicks” – brilliant for trying to find the keyhole of your front door when pissed at 3am
- It “pulses” when a picture is taken so it does actually act as a basic flash
- You can make it flash an SOS signal automatically
Very very few. I still prefer the K700 as a phone as it’s a bit sleeker and looks better but maybe it’s just because I’m used to that model. Also only supplying a 64MB memory card is a bit crap.
