Henry Ford said it best.... It's available in any colour, provided it's black.... Wondering if i should swop my Nokia for a K? That black really does look wicked!!! Nice job, R

A silver K750i isn't the problem. It's the customisation of the menus by Vodafone that's the problem.

please excuse the rubbish shots!


"as opposed to the black plastic ??

just kidding "

i thought it was plastic too but its a thin layer of metal ontop of plastic!

plus, as i remember the silver keypad has a blue backlight while the black is white.

Where did you get hold of that silver case? I cant seem to find it anywhere on ebay.
Looks cool.
Why havent you got the Quickshare sticker at the bottom?

no, its a photoshop job - i just forgot to change the back and cancel key!!!!!! not sure if you could do it in real life as they are all stuck to one piece.

the black case came with no quickshare sticker.

Okay, I've changed my mind. I just got my phone today and I like it in black.

I vowed never to upgrade to the silver Voda K750i. But they've offered me a good deal, so when the phone's back in stock in a fortnight, I might get it. I might experiment by getting a black replacement front and keys while keeping the back silver. Or vice versa. I like the idea of blue backlighting on either black or silver keys.

Silver goes better with the flash attachment, though.

Can anyone confirm if the silver version is just painted plastic rather than a thin metal coating on plastic shell?
