Is the Sony Ericsson D750 finally coming to America? T-Mobile Europe already scored an exclusive on the European version of the phone (the D750i), but the FCC has just given the D750 its seal of approval, so it looks like there’s a good chance that either T-Mobile USA or Cingular will be introducing this two megapixel cameraphone here in the States sometime soon.
Oh and I corrected them when they said T-Mobile has exclusivity.
Idiots.

that sounds very exciting. I wonder why they would approve that phone and not the K750 or the W800. I personally prefer the looks of the D750 to the K750, but I am scared it will only be on T-Mobile.
Posted by amnesia
the D750 is the W800's body with a few changes.
Imagine a K750 with a W800 body.
Thats all.
Posted by max99
nice, but wudn't udrather hav a w800i
Posted by knight4led
no, I understand what the D750 is, just don't want the new
s tied to T-Mobile. And yes, i would rather have the W800.
Posted by gr3gg0
im confused...is this based on w800 or k750i?
Posted by EastCoastStar
it is based on the w800i... i believe.
i reallllly hope its on cingular not tmobile!! ill be so happy!

Posted by dav
Oh how I hope this will be on TMo USA
Posted by superfire
i hate the pink t and tmo logo
i rather get a K750i
Posted by amagab
I sure do like the black design of the K750i better. I hope this one comes to awesome T-Mobile USA but I doubt it since they haven't been taking in any SE phones lately.

the phone doesn't have to come out on your carriers... you can buy an unlocked one and use that cant you? aslong as 1900 is used in ur area

Cingular has always carried
phones. There are rumors that indicate that Cingular has made a commitment with Nokia to only buy candy bar style phones from Nokia. I hope this is just a rumor.
I much rather buy Cingular branded phones
as they support 850/1900. Cingular has put a great emphasis on 850 as it is a better reception specifically in buildings and rural areas. 1900 can be picked up in major cities and highways, however going into rural areas the 1900 becomes a problem signal wise. with the 850/1900 combination you will always have a signal. Since the AT&T merger, Cingular has dedicated to building and converting to an 850 band.
I hope Cingular continues to provide candy bar style
phones.
I think I would go for the D750, it looks sleek.

I just came from the T-Mobile Store and the guy said the following: I asked him if they will get any SE phones in. His reply was "No" they had too many problems with the T610. Currently they have 0 SE phones. He also said they won't get the D750 nor any other smart phones in. They do not replace the Nokia 6600 witht the 6680 adn they discontinued the HP 6315 also. Right now they are doing financially good and have the best plans in the business. I told him their phones suck and he agreed. Then I showed him my P900 to make him feel very bad. Also they have EDGE built into their network, but wait to launch it. That is the latest what I heart.

That's good news...... Then Cingular, the biggest network in the U.S. will most likely pick it up.
If T- Mobile is so arrogant as to say that they have the best plans, they are in a fog. I've done my home work and is the reason why I've stayed with Cingular.
Cingular has the most coverage area, better signal, better towers. The largest mobile to mobile community. When you look at T- Mobiles mobile to mobile coverage map, it is a laugh
It is very minimal. You would have to use your minutes plan, most of the time. There are no rollover minutes. If you don't use them ,you lose them. Not the case with Cingular's rollover minutes.
Take my plan 850 peak minutes / Free Mobile to Mobile / Unlimited free nights and weekends. I use about 400 - 500 minutes a month.
My rollover minutes balance is at 5,800
, which means I don't watch my minutes when I'm on the phone during peak time. I just talk away with out a care. Try that on T-Mobile plans.
Their reception sucks, That's why I dropped them several years ago.
Back to the subject at hand. Cingular, bring on the D750 and the S800 and all other
phones. Yes ... Yes... Yes....

it would be awesome if it came to US...that means i could get one, get it unlocked, get w800 cover for it, and flash it to a w800...

I don't know why everyone dogs T-Mobile about their coverage. In all of the tests I've done between T-Mobile and Cingular networks, the converage seems to come clearly down to the terminal (or phone) you're using. For example, I get perfect reception with my k700i on T-Mobile, but dropped calls and half signal using Cingular's Treo 650, on 850mhz. When I use my k700 with my cingular sim card, the signal is fine. I get the same results regardless of the phone being used (Nokia's or Samsungs). Both networks provide good coverage, let's just hope that all the best SE phones come to BOTH T-Mobile and Cingular. That's what we'd all like for SE! I've also heard that T-Mobile has EDGE in place but are delaying the launch also. I've read stories in the local news papers here about T-Mobile doing tests for 'high speed wireless access through your mobile device' in key areas of Austin, TX (since it's the capital of texas, I guess T-Mobile's trying to lock down some contracts from all of the major state departments here). I've heard they're trying to increase capacity and resources so it's faster than Cingular's implementatin. I guess they can launch a decent advertising war against Cingular's EDGE network (much like what Sprint did to AT&T Wireless a few years back) if this is true. I will admit, Cingular's EDGE implementation does suck....it's very slow compared to implementations in the UK that I've used.

@ REO
you are forgetting Verizon! I understand they are CDMA/CCDMA networks, but they are currently the largest network provider in the States!..
Cingular has been doing a lot to build on their already large subscriber database. And I do believe in the 850MHz theroy; lower frequencies in general do perform better (mold around objects, if you will ) against obstacles/uneven terrains. Whereas, higher frequencies tend to bounce and reflect off objects they encountered, thus maybe a worst reception phonomena...
@gr3
I spoke to a TMobile tech, and he mentioned that they will be bringing the D750i to US market. The D750i is exactly the K750i but with a different face place (TMobile exclusive). I also observed on the SE's website (US), the have the K750i coming soon!.. not sure what that means, but it's a good sign!......
