An answer from the Sony Ericsson Call Centre for a firmware bug report I have sent :
"
With regards to your enquiry, please try updating your Sony Ericsson K750i again, as
we have released a batch of firmware updates for our handsets on the 3rd January.
"
Can this be true?
Has anybody seen new firmware version coming out on SEUS in the last few weeeks?

I recently sent an email to SE asking them if they could remove the SMS alert limit of 10 seconds and also to make the phone vibrate more than once when you receive an SMS when using a custom SMS alert.
This is the reply I got.............
Hi George
The K750 development cycle has finished and there is no new firmwares being developed for it.
Kind regards,

So there you are, the k750 is officially dead. Please add this info to the original poster OP.
From my experience of SE phones you will always have problems like this.
They are very proprietary / right wing and closed source regarding software and firmware and this damages the usefulness of the phones whether you know about this or not because:
- bugs are more likely
- the phone doesn't get updated and so has a shorter life so a waste of money. It's a killer in the longer term
- lack of freedom with your phone
Example: we still have bugs and SE will never fix them. This will happen to your next phone too.
This sort of thing effects all phones in this horribly anal market, but most pronounced with SE.
There are plenty of programmers out there who could fix all these bugs if SE would let them but they won't because this way they sell more phones. Only what we should know is that the same sort of thing effects the next phone you get.
The answer: be a smart consumer and don't buy SE phones. It's just a shame that on face value they are the best. I will investigate Nokia now, and with any luck Linux on phones.

The improvements are always found in the next generation phone. It's normal that a phone is never bug-free. As long as the bugs are not major, the phone is considered perfect. So, no need to discuss further as no more f/w is released. Wow, what a long thread..and rather sentimental indeed, as K750i used to be a great phone in his era. Time flies this quickly..

Wow, that's a pretty uneducated comment. Name me one serious bug that has not been resolved with the K750/W800. I would think the K750/w800 had a pretty good run of updates during it's life. My W800 is absolutely rock solid reliable. The only minor issue was that I had to get rid of the Hissing bug myself. Expecting SE to continue to update old phones is unreasonable. No other manufacturer would do so either. If you want to be a smart buyer - steer clear of Nokia's. You only have to read about all the troubles people are having with their N73's. i.e. Slow, freezing, black photos, rebooting, etc. And, how many updates has it had in it's short life?

are too quick on dropping their old models. The K750/W800 were a very popular model and they should take advantage of this and keep it at bit longer. Compare with Nokia: here in Oman you can get a brand new 6600 for USD 200, boxed with full warranty.
