my k750i is bricked and needs to be repaired which would cost 100 bucks. What are my other options? Is there a new sony phone or other brand that compares in quality with the k750i in this price range? If not, i'll get it repaired...seeing as a new se will cost alot more anyway |

I would say go for something along the lines of a K550i or the T650i.
The T650 is a more expensive but has a 3.2MP autofocus camera instead of the 2MP of the K550i.
The screen on the T650 is higher resolution (240x320 compared to 176x220).
On the other hand the K550 is CyberShot branded (if you believe it makes a difference).
The T650 is 3G compared to the K550's EDGE connectivity.
They both have an LED flash/video light and auto-focus so no worries there in getting pictures at least as good as your K750.
The T650 can video conversely the K550 has an infra-red port (some people still use these, I don't but someone must  ).
I myself would go for the T650i but I already have a K800 and a K850 so I'm not in need of a new phone. The T650's design is a pleasure, very unique with the light effects and the themes have special features on certain days of the year (e.g. on valentine's day little hearts will fall across the screen etc etc), it has a certain 'wow' factor. The K550 is a little more plain by design, more industrial if I could use such a word to describe it. I'm sure it's a great phone though, a good work-horse like the K750.
Obviously, the opinions you don't have to listen to, but I like to think I'm right most of the time .... doesn't everyone?

Honestly if you spot a W900 on your place. get/buy it imediately  as a multimedia workhorse W900 is excellent but imho it's more powerful than K750. comparing it with K800. W900 still shines as a camera and video camera, for gaming it's SE's best no doubt, for video processing W900 reigns as king  for conncetivity there are only few phones that can beat that - it's the K850/W910 but videocall quality is imho better thanks to the Nvidia processor

IF YOU WANT A CAMERA PHONE GO FOR K790I FOR RS 12,000
IF YOU ANT BEST DIPLAY AND BESAT SOUND AND A DESENT CAMERA GO FOR W580I FOR 11,500 (WITH 1GB CARD)
IF YOU WANT PHONE WITH IN THE RANGE OF 10,000 GO FOR WITH A QUALITY SOUND CAMERA S500I ,K750I,6233,W810
IF YOU WNT A PHONE WITH IN THE RANGE OF 6,000 GO FOR 5300 OR 5200
IF YOU WANT A PHONE WITH IPOT QUALITY SOUND AND A ESENT CAMERA GO OR N91 OR N91 8GB
IF YOU WANT GOOD CAMERA QUALITY AND DESENT SOUND GO FOR K790
THIS IS MY ADVISE

They were both released this year I think the K550i was end of Q1 and the T650i sometime in Q3. I did a quick price check on the K550i and in the UK it's currently available on PAYG for about £55-60, Which shouldn't be far out of most budgets. The T650i however is running at about £250. I think it's actually cheaper to get it SIM free from the Swiss eXpansys website, pay for it in Swiss Francs and pay through the nose for postage.

I have the V630i (K618) which has a much maligned non Auto-Focus,no Flash 2 Mp camera but even with these specs picture quality is still very good thanks to  .
Check out my photos in the gallery or the K610/K618 photo thread and decide for yourself.
I second the choice of W900! If you can convince somebody to part with one, buy it!

@north - How MUCH is your $$$$$ for a NEW fone  I would highly recommend the K800i as it's SO cheap and considered a GOOD buy at present, so GOes with the P990i (GOOD cam + PDA functions, a ALL in ONE fone at present) . . .
Good Luck !
