@ lastik;
I've bought k750 here in turkey 2 months ago with the thoughts you've have in my mind also. I realy don't regret my purchase. it is a very good all arounder still after 1,5 years. The housing is not too much solid as lots of cracking occurs but otherwise it is a good phone. I have to warn you though , current k750i's on the market are cid:49 which can't be altered via far manager AFAIK.
(any news on this??)

OK, Status update everyone;
K800 is not available in Turkish market yet. I'll just wait until it is introduced, hopefully by the end of this month, as it's entrance to the market may decrease the prices of current models a little bit 
@tyildirim
I guess i'll happily use the phone with standard settings for some time, so being unable to tweak with the settings would not be a problem in short term. However, if this series available in market right now is really not supported, what are the chances of a newer version of FAR manager coming up, covering these phones also?
Does anyone have any info on this nonconformity with FAR manager?

AFAIK k800 will not come to turkey?? as we don't and will not for a long time have the 3g backbone. I mean having k800 over k790 will be useless. Anyway if you say you have some news; may be we should wait a little and see. Meanwhile if the design is not so strict for you; look for w810 for around 700ytl (~470usd) in the market.

I just got myself a k750i a couple of days back. It's a brilliant phone really, been monitoring some threads on it for a long time and despite it not being the latest phone around, I felt it was what i needed. Was using the 3230 previously and I must say it's a refreshing break. The K750i is much more responsive and I love the camera front. I strongly recommend it, the prices and firmware are quite stable now.

The K750 is great!
If you have the money and like the Walkman thing get a W810.
Personally I despise the W800 design, but other than that it's a great phone too.
Or of course there's the W700, a slightly cheaper downgrade of the W800, also if you have the cash go for a high end phone like the K800, or the new W850 etc.

I'm glad to hear that even the most recent buyers are satisfied with k750i. I have considered w700 but i've checked its specs and i'm willing to pay more for those extras it lacks. So right now i've narrowed it down to "K750 or W810". A few questions if i may;
1. I read that w810 has better screen than w800 & k750. Why is it so, and in what ways it is superior?
2. Quote:

Does anyone know about this? Can this incompatibility issue be sorted out later, ie. in a future release of FAR manager?
@ tyildirim
I don't have solid info about release date of k800 in Turkish market. I just asked a shop and the guy told me they were expecting it to be introduced like in a few weeks.  Turkish site doesn't have k800 on their upcoming models page. Therefore what you say may be possible, and we may skip k800 entirely 
Thanks for the responses, people! |

Hmm... Regarding the issue of K750s with CID49, I'm not sure if you really need to use FAR, but for me, the K750i as it is, is good enough for me. I'm never going back to Nokia for sure, unless it's a Symbian phone. Trust me, you won't regret getting a K750. I chose the K750 over the W810 (I was in the same predicament) mainly cos I love the K750's camera front, although I gotta admit the W810 looks pretty stylish on the whole.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. |

. . . this is my 2nd K750 now dude, and I haven't experienced some problems with the joystick - lags or not-responding (knock-on-wood) . . . . some says it HAS, perhaps an isolated case

I would think that with the ammount of 750s about there were bound to be some probs about but you often hear about them so it makes the phone sound worse than it is.Anyone have any probs with the softwear slowing down after a while and dose it suffer from this white screen i have been reading about |

I think it is still feasible to buy K750i, because it is a great phone, even now, and it has the best 2 MP camera ever installed in a mobile phone, even now when we have hundreds of phones with 2 MP camera, K750i camera is still unbeatable.I'll soon post a thread where I will compare K750i photos whith photos taken by Canon PowerShot A40 2 MP camera, where you will se that SE K750i can compeate with real digital camera.You can also go for W800i because, basically they are the same,because you can change their softweare and hardweare, so you can get a W800i from K750i, and W800i from K750i, try to search for mooding in this forum and you'll see some interesting hybrids created from K750i (black,silver,red) W800i, W700i and even W810i (black & white). I wanted to buy W800i badly,but when I had the money they removed it from the market (at least in my country) because W700i and W810i were out, and as I didn't want to buy W700i (no autofocus) & W810i (no camera protction) I had to buy K750i. I bought the black one and now I'm glad I bought K750i and not W800i. The only difference is in softweare, you have flight mode and slightly better player in W800i (you can sort songs by artist,song,or album....), and sound quality is the same even better in K750i (no hissing) the difference is only ih headphones and if you buy HPM-70 (W800i headphones)you'll have the same sound(althoug the sound with k750i headphones is not bad at all, at least not for me). And one more thing you''ll get 64MB Memory Stick Pro Duo card with K750i instead of 512 one you would get with W800i but in the end that's not a big deal because you'll probably want to increase your memory and buy a bigger MSPD memory card (1,2,4 or 8 GB) someday. So it is up to you to decide which phone you like more. I didn't even want to flash my K750i to W800i firmware,although i planed to do that, I just like my K750i the way it is. I got mine 3 months ago and so far I didn't have any bugs. My firmware is R1CA021.
p.s. I don't have to tell you anything more about the camera except it's excellent . (and if you buy MXE-60 external flash you will be able to use it at night)
Huuh, hope I didn't bored you

Yeah i don't think this "cid:49 vs FAR manager" issue is too big a problem, since the newer phones like w810 are also not supported, AFAIK.
I am not really worried about the joystick either, as most k750 users here on Esato seems to be OK with their unit. I will inspect it closely at the shop before my purchase though 
Thanks for the recommendations. I guess W800 doesn't offer enough considering that its price is roughly 150 USD more than the k750. I would rather have a W810 than a W800, but that may just be me 
@Salih
Thanks for the pics dude. And make that comparison please, it'd would be informative and interesting to read. It's so bad there is not a seperate page on the site where photos of the same scene with different models are compared. |
