@ samigirltoo, forget ebay auctions for now, at least until the phone is released. We could probably guess 99.9% of them are all fakes or scams.
Branding goes deeper than the company logo on the case of the phone. The phones software can also be branded. So, instead of the SE menu, you might get a Orange or T-mobile menu. Also, some functions might be disabled such as MP3 ringtones or the use of shortcuts.
I've even heard cases where some french customers have had their Bluetooth function disabled by the french networks.
Then, theres also extra items you cannot delete, such as screensavers, pictures or videos.
A typical example is a friends K700i. He bought it on Orange PAYG. For a start, he cannot use MP3s as ringtones. He cannot use shortcuts, half of the
Settings are missing in the settings icon, the SE menu is all coloured orange which cannot be changed, on his standby screen he has some weird Orange shortcuts, he cannot delete some Orange pictures off his phone, and finally he is unable to send some pictures / videos / ringtones because they're protected by Oranges copyright.
Dont worry however about buying a phone on one network and then getting it unlocked to use on another, it is perfectly legal and theres not a thing the network operators can do to stop you.

It hasn't even been released yet (Hong Kong release date is May 28) and I've already seen some very dodgy looking auctions on Ebay UK for the K750.

Welcome to Esato.
To be honest, right now, nobody knows for sure. We're all just speculating.
The best thing to do is check your local phone store / website for a rough price.

CPW said the same to me last year, and then they didnt get the phone until 2 weeks after it came out, and priced it £20 dearer at £320.
In other words, im saying take what they say with a pinch of salt.

Sony Ericsson in New Zealand said its coming out in June sometime but no price. A magazine called My Mobile said expected RRP of $899
Thats very expensive for me. I probably wont get it right away but I dont think the price will drop much. If I get it from Hong Kong it might be a little cheaper. Right now I have Nokia 8310. B4 I wanted the F500/K500 but then I heard about this phone. If this phone is really to expensive I might have to get the K700 instead. I will be happy with that but I want the K750. May just blow my money on it.

Etaab, cheers for the explanation
I'm not a techie...
Had my phone stolen - now I've got a new reason to buy a new phone but I really hope the price goes down quickly... I doubt it though
