With all of this being said, I will go check it out now. I just got a z800 and had no real desire for another phone (got a Nokia 6680 from a friend. Still in the box and no hate mail please.

), but now I am intrigued by the k750i. Luckily I can get them for 33% off, so I might just have to pick up one.

See what you guys did?
hahaha, thats really funny
no hatemail indeed, N6680 is definately a nice phone - I love my S//E's but Im not so much fanboy that I cannot see good in anything else
But I agree, if you can get one with 33% off, you might just have to pick up one of these k750's and test it out

Stop, stop. My wife is Finnish so it is a divided household.

it is true that with the new firmware you get pictues with smaller filesize...
the decrease in size is about 15-20% in the best quality mode !
the reason ? maybe higher jpeg compression....
why would they do this ? dont know, but my pictures certainly dont look as good.
so, this is becoming a more crippled gadget. worse video and pictures taken....
... nice...
it really does make me wonder, what is the True Potential of this phone ??? maybe it can take even better videos with 200+ bitrate !!!

Had a response to my query around video bit-rate and picture size/quality....
"Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson Call Centre.
With regards to your enquiry, please accept our apologies for the problems you are experiencing. We are currently investigating the issues you have raised, a software update is imminent.
We will contact you when the software update is available."
I'm happy with that response. Let's see what happens..

I knew when i upgraded the firmware that my video was going to hell, but sorry to hear there was an apparent photo quality loss too. Let's start spamming SE with mails and calls please...
