to me the build quality is the most important thing on a phone besides reception.If the k750 really is this bad i'm going to be really upset.Usually Sony Ericsson is great with build quality.The higher end Motorolas are great too..My v600 and now my v3 are rock solid.Not one creak..I love it..Even the new nokias have been pretty good lately.My 7610 is great, and so is my 6600, and 3120. I was really dissapointed with the s710a build quality too.The plastics they used were really cheap, whenever i felt it it seemed like an optical allusion because from far away it looks liek it is metal kind of. The best of all for build quality is samsung, they have got it down perfectly, they use the best plastics and it seems like is metal but its not.WHAT IS HAPPENING TO SE LATELY!!!I love their phones but it always seems like each phone has one major downpoint.For example:t68i reception, t610 menu speed, t630 crap camera, k700 no memory slot, s710 slow menu, k750 bad build quality.THe way Nokia has been introducing phones lately it seems like they are going to put SE into bankrupcy, come on SE i know you're better than this

S710a Slow menus? Hmmm... This is fixed by moving your biggest files to the memory card. On the materials, mine is as sturdy as my T610.
Pretty solid if you ask me. My last Blokia was a 3310, now that was a creaker! Hence why I became a SE fan and left Blokia forever.
SE makes great phones and we all have our different priorities when it comes to expectations. With that said.... I doubt we would all be on the same page in terms of expectations.
All in all, SE makes great phones and listens to it's customer base.
Creak or no creak, the underlying question is.... Overall performance.

6600 god buildquality and the s710 bad? Are you drunk? Or just a simpel SE hater? The build quality of the S700/710 is excellent and that you can't say of The N6600 wich is extremly plasticky and creaky, as i had both at the same time the comparison was rather easy.
And when it comes to the K750 it may not be as good as the S700 but not many handsets are, but there isn't many candybars outthere that is better built, all the talk here that it's crappy built is just pure bullshit!!

Just fold a piece of paper and use some scotch tape toes the cover and you get she off all the creaking. I did, and it works great. This is what you have to live with when you buy a phone the first weeks after it is released.
This message was posted from a K700i

How many more times does it need to be said. The T610 did not have better build quality over the K750i - the reason it didnt creak much was because it had an aluminium coated case.
If SE were to make a limited edition K750i in an aluminium case, it wouldnt creak either.
The only way IMO you could have a phone with a plastic case that does not creak would be a complete G-Shock style case (where the case has no joins, except the metal back cover, like Casio use for their G-Shock watch range).
This creaking subject is severly exaggerated and inflamed to be a major problem, when really its something you should expect from any plastic case.

Thats exactly why I would prefer it in a T610 case... so it wouldn't creak as much. I guess that extra coating helped out a lot to make it at least feel like a top-end handset. Someone earlier said that samsungs use good quality plastic- i agree. I used to have a samsung c100- which was solid, where everything fit well and didnt feel like an empty hollow matchbox in some areas (and its a lower range handset).
Looking at the back of the k750i now- im wondering why they even bothered to jazz up the back of the phone like a camera with moving lens cover etc....
It would have been much nicer and more comfortable to have it less in your face and flat like the v8 SLVR camera.

well, something has to give. The more functions you have the heavier the phone. To compensate for weight, manufacturer reduces the thickness of plastic or uses very lightweight ones.

The lense cover was actually a selling point for me. The camera on the K750 is probably its major selling point over anything else imo, so i expect that many people will be intrested in protecting the 'lense'. Intresting to see in the W800 a less bulky cover - thats preferable.

But thats the whole point. Because the C100 (a really really really bad phone IMO) is such a low range handset, the phone is much easier to manufacture and of course will feel more solid.
The K750i packs a lot of technology into such a small phone, and with such a high specification camera its only natural its more fragile.
