K600 is a great phone and its build looks more elegant and solid than K750.
However, since it's a 3G phone and in my country the 3G network currently still in the trial period, not so many people interested to buy K600 because it is very expensive.
K600 already out and available here with the price about USD 490 (compared to the K750 that "only" USD 380), so why you buy K600 that has only 1.3 MP camera without external memory slot while there is K750 with 2 MP camera and external memory expansion support with the lower price?

I agree. 3G is still in infancy in the market here in my country too. It's generally too expensive for access. And what's the point of getting a videophone if most of your friends don't have the same capability?Thus, people would still rather get non-3G phones with loads of other features. I still know no one who is on 3G yet.

I have just got a v600i myself and must say it is a good phone. The only drawback is the lack of memory it has. The camera is more than good enough for day to day snaps and if i want real pictures then i will use my camera. The memory issue just seems daft to me though, for the sake of that they have produced a good phone rather than a great one.

I agree --- I got the phone today and the memory issue is a bit irritating... The Samsung 3G phone is lighter than K600 but it still has a Microflash card is available up to sizes of 256 kB.
On the other hand --- if music is what you want the operator 3 has a streaming music service that is cheap enough to use and with streaming, you don't need any memory at all, which is great!
To bad I dont have 3...

... AND DONīT FORGET.
The Quality of k600i is much, much better than of k750i, which feels cheap.
I have a real DigiCam (all mobile Phone cams are toys), I donīt miss a card slot.
So, the k600i is the right phone, stylish and full of (sense) technique (UMTS, Status LED ...).
Itīs like an Apple Mac in mobile phone segment

I got a k600i yesterday. It's a very good phone. I would recommend it to everyone, who wants a solid, well-made phone with lots of technical stuff.

I suspect one reason behind people apparently not being quite as excited about the K600 you mentioned in your first post. You said yourself you're not bothered about getting 3G for quite a few months - I think that's it.
A lot of people haven't migrated to 3G as they haven't felt the need - me been one of them (the faster download speeds do appeal, but it's still prohibitively expensive & usually crippled and ringfenced by greedy service providers
plus my O2 GPRS is still free for some reason!)
The K600 looks like a great phone - shame it's a 3G one though - there'd be a lot more interest and threads on it if it was available widespread 2G!

k600 is a great phone, but is a compromise designed for peeps who must have 3G. You wouldn't buy it unless you needed 3G, or just liked it and didn't need more than the K700 has other than a better camera.
If I was looking for a 3G replacement of the K700 I would buy it, however, I don't need 3G, so the K750 is a much better proposition for myself.
