Bookmark topic
So wait, from what I understand, a 1900 network is bad for K750i, and NY is all red in that chart, meaning NY is all 1900? So my K750i has real bad signal because the 850 towers are far away?

Your K750 does not recognise the 850 MHz at all, it can't receive it. It can recieve the 1900 MHz signal though. The K750 was primarily designed for use outside of North America. Most of the world uses the 900 MHz frequency, America doesn't, they use the 850 MHz frequency. Hence you will only receive limited reception using a K750 on Cingular.
Your could try using your K750 on T-Mobile who only use 1900 MHz (at the moment).

For those of you on Cingular in area's where there isn't significant 1900Mhz coverage, you will have to wait for the w600i if your want a SE walkman phone. It will be quad band and work all over the US.
W600i

So, is there another phone out there that you guys can sufggest, that WILL work fine in the US and have a decent camera that I can get from cingular? I signed a 2 year contract so I'm limited to cingular, but I never knew that this phone would have such horrible reception.

My girlfriend bought a K700i and has had not problems with it here in NC. She uses it mostly in between Asheboro and Wilmington. Not sure how it fairs in the mountains. I previously had a P900 and managed to get fair reception as well. I now have a P910a and I could immediately see a small increase of reception over my P900 and her K700. In general the k700 and P900 were just fine though. The main problem is they don't seem to do as well inside buildings.
@Toadwaker
Hate it for you but you really should have done some more research before buying. From what I hear, the phone has good reception when used in the right parts of the world. You could sell it to me

Sorry about the whole not doing research thing but this phone was suggested to me by a collegue(sp?) and I needed a cellhphone really fast. Now I am regretting it, I just need a phone with a good look , good reception in the US, and a decent camera, doesn't have to be 2MP with autofocus though.
Thanks.

I need a phone that will work in NYC, the k750i is nice, but it only has decent signal on the 21st floor of an office building or on the beach. I need a phone that will work eevrywhere, home, office, college, train, bus. The k750i doesn't satisfy that need. I hope the S710a will.
