Have to agree , the k750i is a bit of a let down for me too and many customers who have bought a k750i from me.
The build quality isn't very good , t610 was the best built SE phone.
The wow factor just isn't there,yeah the cam is great but thats about it really.
Loads of Sw glitches and also rubbish volume on calls ect.
Wonder if the w800 will be better built or just the same ?

Yet again i see people moaning about the K750i creaking.

Why do you compare it to the T610 ? the T610 casing was made up of the same plastic, it was simply covered in aluminium which doesnt creak. I dropped my T610 and the aluminium coating broke off - once it had the plastic underneath creaked terribly !

Its also worth pointing out that flip phones like the Z600, and the swivel S700i do not creak much because the plastic used isnt as easy to remove as from a candybar phone. Simply because of the complexity of a flip or swivel phones opening mechanisms the phones have to be put together so that they cannot be easily dismantled, and if the phone takes a hit the screen is usually protected inside.

With a candybar phone, the phone is just as high quality but have simple fascias fastened to the front and rear which are much easier to replace if the phone takes a hit.

My K750i creaks, but its nowhere near as bad as people say on Esato - and mine was made in China. I expect it to creak too, because of its form factor and build materials.

Comparing the V3 to the K750i is just plain stupid, of course the V3 wont creak - its made of aluminium like the T610.

I got a 6230 and a K750i and the 6230 there you have a creaky phone think the build quality of K750i is much better. Have tried the 6230i also and that phone creaked as much as 6230 of course they have exchangable covers. So coming from a 6230 this phone is a dream of silence have hardly had any creakings yet only a couple of hangups browsing pictures and thats it else I think its a wonderfull phone.

Its also worth pointing out that the more complex the casing becomes the more likely it will be to creak.

Im not suprised people report the rear of the K750i as suffering from a little creaking, because the case isnt flushed to the phones central silver spine (take the battery out, and look inside the compartment down to the battery + & - contacts).

Its not a problem at all. Ok, my K750 has given me anything to go WOW about when compaired to my S700 but overall its a good little phone.
Think of all the little whigners who complained that the S700 was too big. Well this is your chance to get a slightly better equiped phone thats smaller.

Yes the K750 did remind me of my old T610 and T630 when I first held it. Probably because of the size, shape and layout but thats it. Nothing else.

So far after 2 days continuous use of my K750 I've had no sotware problems, freezing etc. No 'creeking' noise's either, Yesterday I dropped it onto the road while putting shopping into my car. It did a few flips and landed underneith my car. When I picked it up there was just 2 minute marks on one of the top corners and that was it. Was expecing more than that.

End of the day. If your not happy with your phone you do have 14 days in which to return it.

Imo theres no need for 20 or so threads from people saying how good/crap a phone is. Everything should be just in one thread/section. Just look around Esato and find a thread that has the same or similar content to what you want to say.

Well im going by customer feedback and people around who have bought the k750i else where and none seem to happy with the k750i, there was a buzz about the t610 and k700i but this phone isn't getting that.
I also don't rate the k750i highly and i have had loads of different model phones marks out of ten i would give it 7 max.

Everyone as their own opinion but maybe a tidy up of threads is needed on this matter

thats nonsense

I could personally name a couple of hundred people that are absolutely extactic about this phone. I could also point to loads of threads in several forums with people displaying the same.

Sure theres a few initial bugs in firmware, so what ?
Every new phone today has bugs when released and everybody knows that today, if people cant handle a few bugs, then simply wait a few months befory buying the phone. Everybody wants to be the first to get the new toys, everybody are screaming before launch to hurry up and launch the phone, but then when its launched the very same people scream about the bugs, and everybody seem to have to scream their own about the same bug. The hypocracy does get a litle tiring to read at times.

Sure the lenscover can screak a litle, it is a moving part, doesnt make much sence comparing to a phone in a aluminum body without any moving parts like the V3. Im sure every possible screak could be eliminated if the phone were build like a tank and weighed 400g, but who wants that ? Im sure the K750 could be build in pure aluminum or titanium, but then everyone would whine about the cost of the phone.

To keep the weigth down lenscover is thin, but it is not made of cheap plastic. Theres nothing wrong with the quality of the plastic used, I assure you that it wont break.

Point is, everybody has a free choise of not buying the phone, but still everybody wants it, and then whines about this and that.

People get this phone because theres not much else that gives better value for money overall. Its relatively cheap, has loads of great functions, nice design, small and handy.

Its simple, if people dont feel they get their moneys worth because of minor imperfections or initial firmwarebugs that everybody knows will be fixed, then get another product they feel is better value for money.

i would be much more content with a k750i in a T610 case (with the extra buttons). I havent had any software glitches yet. I cant compare with nokia ones as i havent had one since 6210 (i went off them a long time ago). I've had a z7,T68i, T610, C100, v620, V3 and K750i since.

K750i has the best software and featureset, but the materials used are worse than all the above including the cheap and cheerful c100.

I cant really return it now as i got the onestopphoneshop deal with 8 months line rental and have used it since- and the returns policy doesnt cover this. I have learnt my lesson and will not assume SE's craftsmanship as being really high next time i get a mobile.

I accidentally dropped my v620 on an escalator on the tube and it went all the way to the bottom and it survived (albeit scarred)- that is what i call quality.

How can it be nonsense , do you want me to get them all to join here to tell you that they are not happy with the k750i , i have sold about 8 of them and 6 of them i have had to try and resell for them due to not being happy with it.
You might be happy and others too but people i have sold the phone to aren't so don't make comments stating nonsense matey. People like you really piss me off sometimes , if your happy well and good enjoy it but others aren't so happy.Not everyone is a freak.
