well i guess thats something i suppose. im planning on gettin the samsung D600 now though.
I cant stand these SE joysticks. I had a T610, joystick broke, had a k700, joystick broke (as well as it being too big to move around properly, the t610 one was much easier to use), so wont be touching it again. K750 screen is also the same as k700 screen so im going for the d600 when it comes out with a far bigger screen. Of course that may mean poor battery life on it compared to the k750 so ill have to get some info on that first.

its funny cause ive owned a t68, t610, k700, k500, s700 and now a k750 which all have joysticks and ive Never had any of them broken !!! and did i mention they work great ???
wanna know something funnier ??? i live in sweden where a great part of the population uses SE phones and not once have i heard any1 complain about such a problem..
id understand if this happened on 1 phone, but in ur case, i think its just a case of u not being careful with ur stuff..
btw, enjoy ur samsung (hahahaha).. excuse me for laughin... |

I've also had the joystick issue. Both my t68i and t630 both have joystick that are now pretty unresponsive, you have to really push them quite hard or the phone doesn't recognise that you've moved the stick!. I can understand it on the t68i (1million 750 thousand moves), but the t630 has probably only 750,000 moves and thats starting to become a bit schonky. |

My point proven. Thats exactly what happened to my T610 AND K700, the joysticks became unresponsive and needed to be pushed very hard to register any movement. Either bad built quality of flawed design.
I guess they have special versions in sweden that never break eh tasmania  , or maybe its just posible you dont have a clue what you are talking about....now theres a thing. |

And no-one can say I don't take care of my phones!, i'm fanactical about keeping 'em in good nick. No-one but me EVER touches it, it never goes into a pocket that has anything else at all in and it never touches a non cushioned surface. I even try not to use it while moving, just in case I dropped it or some moron bumped into me!. |

But you do actually put it into a pocket, which is just about the worst you can do. Not the least in regards to joystick problems
Ive said this many times before, but people just dont listen.
Never keep your phones in your pockets - even if theres nothing in them.
Pockets are dust and static environments, dust that creeps into the joystickarea and everywhere else that is not 100% sealed. This is what is ruining your joysticks. And furthermore pockets generates static electricity that kills the circuits in the phone when you pull it out or slide it in. Also humidity from bodysweat kills more phones in pockets than you would imagine. Its actually one of the main reasons for moisturedamage to phones. Not to mention those (not you) that keeps coins, keys and all kinds of strange things together with their phones in these pockets and dont understand how their phones get so scratched
Allways keep your phones out of pockets and in suitable staticfree mobile cases when you are not using it.
I am responsible for approx 1500 S//E phones in my job. We have used T68i, then T610 and now K700 as companymobiles, and I have never ever had a single joystick failure in this work. A few times someone has complained about unresponsive joysticks and we have simply cleaned them from dust, slapped the workers a litle and told them to keep them out of their pockets and in the mobile cases we supply.
So Im afraid your wrong and Tasmania is right, and I dont live in Sweden.

I tend to agree with both ewok n numb. I was having problems with my joystick, within thewarranty, got it serviced. It definitely improved the malfunction i was having previously- press left shorrtcut, and it would show the main menu, but the joystick has lost the 'soft' quallity it used to have when i bought it. Guess its something like all mechanical things wearing out, especially with dust. |

Well I dont keep my phone in my pocket, it sits on my desk usually.
i sent it back for repair under warranty, and they did more than just clean it, they seemed to have replaced the joystick completely and it felt totally different when it came back, but it did work ok, for a couple of weeks when it seemed to go very slightly dodgy again but did still work ok, at which point the phone was then lost anyway. |

I treated my K700i like crap, putting in pockets with keys/money whatever, dropping it, never cleaning it, never had a case or cover, washing my face with it, well maybe not the last but I definitely treated very very badly.
It held up brilliantly, not a single problem with it at all. Shows how well built it must have been.

hmm.. maybe I should buy one of those for my new baby (K750i). I have allways had my phones in a clean pocket without anything else in it. I think it looks a bit "nerd" walking around with those cases when ur not working or anything like that.. I am sure you know what I mean. |

So yeah,its good to see a better battery,although my k700i isnt too bad with R2AE SW,but still with more SW upgrades to come for the k750i,it can only get better 
Thank you,and good night! 
If nobody wants it.. put it on eBay. |

I got my K750 Tues. charged it up, started using, etc. Thursday, I charged it again (second charge) until about 7PM. Left town for a trip Friday morning w/phone, used all weekend, got home tonight, Sunday, about 8 PM, 72 hours after 2nd charge, still showed 28% battery left, is charging again now.
My K700 would never have made it through a three-day weekend without at least one charge. Given it was only the phone's second charge cycle ever, count me impressed. I'm no longer nostalgic for my T610's battery life. Best thing was, the meter went red yesterday, and tonite the phone was still working. With the K700, you could count the remaining standby time in minutes, not days, by the time you got into the red on the battery meter.
(As noted in other threads though, the K750's meter does seem a bit erratic; it bounces up and down a bit more than I've noticed any other phone's do...) |

but did you have the original firmware on the k700 with the notoriously bad battery life or one of the later firmwares which basically doubled the battery life for many people? |

My K700 has R2AE033. I understand there's now an even newer one, but I also understand most of the battery-life improvements came in R2AE and before. So it wasn't a firmware issue.
The fact is, it was never a firmware issue. You can run down the K700's battery in two hours playing Super Real Tennis. The firmware fixes mostly changed the timings on the display and light shut-offs, but they couldn't do anything about the simple fact that the k700's battery is underpowered for its display. Playing games or doing anything that demands the screen be on continually drains the K700's battery so fast you can just about see the meter drop, and that's with any firmware version. | |
