(the first) k750 is still number one among all cell phones cameras....its realy realy hard to produce better daylight pictures then k750, (even for k850 sometimes)...k750 is aim & shoot, and the pics ends up perfect.
why k750 is number one, is because Sonyericsson bought a expensive camera module when they made k750, (they staked very much on the camera).
the thing is that the first camera module was "NOT" mass-produced, (of course it was produced in a large number, but not like the cameras today & backwards.....the first k750 camera module was also quality checked in a higher level)...if you wonder, i got this fact from a cell phone workshop who working for  .
thats why its nearly impossible to beat the first k750 cameras........

ps.....so if you have a old k750..keep it...he he

X-Plode you may be right there, I don't really know what to think. I may sell my T650i to a friend with a loss of 70 euro and buy a K810i instead, it has a fast camera that works well in dull environments and a play/pause button. I'm not sure yet. I wanted a slim phone with a good camera... that's why i bought T650i.

Well I got my replacement T650i (my previous one had a defective camera as the left side of the photo was always blurry). This camera on this one is perfect! So far, very impressed with the quality! I will post some test shots in the T650i picture thread.
Unfortunately, the replacement seems to have the "yellowish white" backlighting that some people were complaining about. Its a minor issue and i'm sure I could live with it more than a defective camera, but I do wish it was perfect... |

Nope, I don't. What camera problem? I don't seem to have any on the test unit.

The problem is that you get a lot of blurry pictures with the camera, don't know if it's because it's slow (iso problem??) or lacking picture stabilizer?!
The good pictures are REALLY good, but to many come out blurry. |

on saturday i had the phone under really heavy usage, i was one of two organisers of a ball(prom?) - from 10am to 8am i picked up and made calles sometimes in a 2 minute rythm - battery proved to be superb - also under really loud conditions i even recotnised text messages, sometimes i had keys(on mistake) together with my phone in my jeans - no scratches at all
i'm really sadisfied with it
i have aso experienced several head turns, from people i know that they usually don't give a shit about phone design
quite cool to have a phone alot of people have never seen before

Gods dammit, why the frak won't make a T650a for North America? GSM 850/1800/1900 and 3G 850/1900? Having owned and loved a T616 and T637, I would snap this up in a heartbeat.

I just found out that my camera-module is getting loose. There is some movement between the camera-module and the case. Does someone have this same problem? Or should i bring it back to the shop??

Well after a few weeks of use I guess I should post some extended impressions of the T650i.
The build quality is good, but not as good as I had originally hoped it would be. While its far from being a creaky phone, its still doesn't feel as sturdy and well built as some other phones, like a Razr. There is a bit of a gap between the two halves, and i'm concerned of excess dust getting inside. Its not huge, but its no where close to the perfect fit and finish of my V3xx.
The camera seems to have a few bugs with its viewfinder. I've noticed that the refresh rate on the viewfinder is pitifully low - around 10fps, even in bright outdoor light. Even my old W800i managed a silky smooth viewfinder image under those conditions. However, i came across a way to bring the smoothness back. First, activate the camera. Turn on the flash. Take a picture of something, and then press the C key and confirm the delete. Once the viewfinder reappears, you'll suddenly notice that its super smooth. You can turn the flash off, move to a dark part of the room, and it'll still be updating nice and smoothly. Very odd, and I hope this gets fixed.
Audio quality is very good. The earpiece isn't the loudest but its adequate enough for me. However, audio quality during a call while using the handsfree is just horrible! It sounds like the other person is talking through a tin can on the other side of a brick wall. My W800 sounded great over handsfree, but this is next to unusable. Music quality on the other hand is excellent. There is no megabass, but the regular bass setting is enough for me. It actually sounds clearer than my W800 which tends to have too much "hiss" during quiet moments of a track. Radio reception is a lot better than my W800.
GSM reception is excellent so far. I'm easily getting 1-2 more bars than i'd usually get compared to my W800. In places where my W800 had "no network coverage", i'm getting 1-2 bars on my T650. In addition, the T650 doesn't seem to suffer from covering the antenna like most other SE phones do. For example, I could easily drop my W800 from full bars down to like 2 bars by covering the phone with my hand. Doing the same with my T650 doesn't even cause the bars to budge. I'm especially happy about this, because many phones that i've used seem to have this issue. For example, I usually keep my phone in my front pants pocket. I would always pull it out from my pocket to find a "no network coverage" message, only to find that if I held it for another 30 seconds in my hand, it would pick up a few bars. This would always happen to me indoors where the reception was poor. In other words, just having it in my pocket would cover up the antenna enough to make it loose signal. Even my quadband Motorola V3xx would have this problem! The T650 so far seems very solid, and I don't loose reception with the phone in my pocket. |

Help! I just dropped my Sony T650i and I'm totally bummed! I had it for a good 3 months before dropping it. I'm thinking about purchasing a DUMMY T650i and using that as a housing, does anyone know if this will work?? Is there a place I can get just the green version housing? |
