I am going round and round in circles trying to decide which network to get a K750 on.

I'm currently on T-mobile and they have offerd me a free upgrade to the K750 - but I don't really like the silver/blue branding of their version.

Much prefer to get the black casing but I'm not much of a fan of the way Orange and Vodafone mess up the menu and icons.

So that leaves O2 - but I do tons of texting and hate the fact you can't get a delivery report without key #0 for each text.

Advice/suggestions - am I just being wayyyyyyy to picky?


why just dont you tell t-mobile to give you a unbranded k750i from carphonewarehouse? i am sure they wouldnt want to lose you as a customer. man when its time for me to upgrade i will be using many threats as possible.

@Majoha. I receive delivery reports as normal, without the need for a prefix. :-l and I am on O2. When was the last time you tried. Has it been enabled on your phone.

I have my phone on orange. Yes th ones with the strange icons, But to be quiet honest. I dont care. The icons dont bother me. infact ive got used to them and I did have a k700i with SE icons before so i can say i know of the differnece.

Orange have the best customer support by all the 4 main networks. And I have a prefect signal to where i live and work. Others i dont.

However i always say go with what is best at your home. You will use you phone more there than anything.

I dont mean to sound racist, because im certainly not, but the only problem ive ever encountered was when i called them to check my contract minutes a few months ago and got through to a call centre that was obviously in Asia somewhere, probably India.

I have no problem with other countries, or their languages, but the person i spoke to i really could not understand a word they were saying. I got so frustrated i hung up and called the O2 network problem line ( because it was free unlike the service line ) and got them to put me through to someone in accounts whilst still using the freephone number.

Also, last year O2 screwed up my contract for 6 months, and didnt charge me. I was worried id be lumbered with a huge bill after they'd not taken the money from my account for 6 months, until they sent me a letter in November to let me know they'd waivered all charges for 6 months of my contract because of their administration error !

Well I ordered it from Carphonewarehouse on O2 on friday and should be delivered on Monday. According to the guy at CPW its a completely unbranded - just has an O2 sim card in it.
Re. T-Mobile - I did try to get them to give me a an unbranded K750 but no dice. Shame really, because the cuostmer service with them during the last year has been at least as good as Orange was when I was with them.

Thanks for all the input.
