No offence, but you joined Esato in 2006, meaning you missed all the 'oh no my K750 messed up' topics mate.

One thing the K750I is better at then the K800I is reliability.
No dodgy keypads that lose the printed characters & also K750Is dont seem to die like the K800I is doing a lot of at the moment.
Also the K800I lacks the K750Is brilliant torch which came in bloody handy the other night when I had to change a wheel by the side of the road in the dark.

Why don't you keep a torch in your glovebox then like any sensible person would?
Also for someone who hasn't got a K800 you seem to know a lot about it's "faults".
For what it's worth I had a k750 the day the came out and it had to be replaced 4 times in 4 weeks. I've now had the K800 for almost 3 weeks and it's not had a single issue. Never locked up, never rebooted itself.
Early k800 is pissing all over the early k750 for quality! |

The K750i's probably more reliable simply due to the fact it's been out for longer, most bugs will have been ironed out whereas the K790/800's (I think) still on it's release firmware.
I remember when the K750i came out this board was full of people complaining of various bugs, problems and 'dead' phones, and the K700i before that....
I'd like a K790, but will wait till the price drops a bit, and the bugs have been ironed out more.

The K750i is great however some of the things I am not kind of happy with it are 2 things:
1. The joystick - good in the beginning but easy gets messed up after use. either gets nonresponsive due to dirt or whatever and needs to be replaced often.
2. The camera cover unit It is just too sensitive and easily gets damaged even after a slight fall or nudge if placed in a pocket. It isn't rough proof. I had my camera cover replaced twice already over a span of less than a year. |

damn, i got the K750 when it first came out and it sure had a lot of bugs. i remember the call volume being so soft that you couldn barely hear the other party when calling from a public place.
still keep a K750 tho. the bugs were worked out after several firmware updates and i still love it.
K800 bugs will also be a thing of the past after a few updates, just as with a lot of new phones. BUT K800 starts from a much a higher point than the K750 did. not half as many problems and a much higher build quality. my late model K750 still has occasional creaks which i just attribute to 'character'.
if you're talking about value and you don't need 3G then it's pretty obvious that the right choice is the K750.
the K800 is substantially improved over the K750. a lot of the improvements will only be known to you once you start playing around with it as opposed to just reading spec sheets. of course the K800 isn't really a 'terrific value' just yet since the price is currently at its peak. if you are price conscious then wait a few months for the price to come down. by then, a lot of the bugs will be worked out as well.

K800 has got some advantages over k750, but it isnt a big deal. If u wanna have 3g and a better cam then k750, wait a bit, aslong the price will drop or go for k610

K750i is not a 3G phone unlike K800i, so it cannot be compared.

When i had probs with my k750 last nov., i contacted se. Their reply was, 'was it from the first batch? They had quite a few firmware probs'! So there, se themselves admit probs with early k750s. Turned out my probs were network related, and 100,000 mls later still no joystick-probs. Back to the question: if so far you have had some basic phone, the k750 will sufficiently excite you, otherwise in 2 weeks you may kick yourself for not waiting for K800! (I moved from t630 to k700... A month before k750 became affordable. Bummer!) So, you decide...

K750 is definately better value for money! Obviously the K800 is better specs wise, but if you want value, the K750 is cheap!
