Now that the K750i is finally here (just about) it would be interesting to hear the pros & cons, things that are cool / not cool from the actual owners, based on fact rather than the previous 'previewed pros and cons' posts that have been posted before based on expectations. K750i owners please let me know what you think about the phone and is it worth the hype.....?

My K750 is in the hands of a friend who bought it for me yesterday in Holland I will collect it from her tomorrow. I have now changed my plans for Sunday so that I can write an initial review so watch out for that if that interests you

@masseur

I trust your input and I am looking forward to your review.

Personally I am waiting for the next S series, however I am thinking about the K750 and would like some feedback on pro's and cons, performance , ect.... I'm sure you will have some great information.

Me too, especially when Nokia have the N91 coming with its hard drive.

The K750i's hype is all about its camera, but it is valid and worthwhile to buy one for that reason, and i dont think anyone would be disappointed.

Just got it today!!!!


Think i have found the first problem.... do you guys get a major slowdown when you select night mode for the camera???

I do, and the photo takes about 0.5 second after the sound effect so i get people when they are just looking away...... hmmm....

That's probably not a problem. I would guess Night mode allows the shutter to stay open longer to let more light in (so you can see something in the dark) thereby increasing the time it takes to take a picture. Also increasing the likelihood of a blurred photo. This is true of all cameras...

I think the hype of W800 faded away fast when people realised its almost same as K750 and K750 is here and now while W800 is in a distant future.

Well i got mine also yesterday morning from 02, case design and display is brill, but i do have some niggles.

The back casing can creak and crack a fair bit, it seems it's when the lens cover is shut it does this, but when opened it's ok. Also one corner of the battery cover clicks as well. So just picking it up etc it can do it.

The other weird thing is volume, to me it seems there is not quite enough earpiece volume, ie when someone is talking to you on the phone and you can turn the level up and down, mine is at maximum volume, but it could do with more.

Also if anyone else can confirm this, the volume for the radio is very loud through the stereo headphones compared with video or mp3 playback. The volume has to be down at 10 - 15% for radio, and 75 -85% for mp3 and video. So you can get a shock to your ears if your listening to an mp3 and then change to radio, you have to really quickly turn the volume right down.

And finally if you play an mp3 on the speaker, then use that same mp3 as a ringtone they don't sound the same ? even though when the phone rings it comes out of the same speaker it sounds higher pitched / brighter sounding !

Can you try this last bit out as well, maybe its just the way they are ?

Thanks.............
