Can anyone tell me how on earth I can get the battery out of the back of the k750! The battery cover thing just does not budge at all! I feel as though I'm breaking the phone with the amount of force i'm putting into it!! |

Press hard the below where the battery cover meets the actual phone back panel. Then force it to slide down.
It will open, and i promise that it won't break.
I always feel i will break mine, but then i just give it a little extra force and it clicks off. |

Well, I have never had any problems with mine but I suspect it differs quite a lot from phone to phone. I remove mine by placing my thumb in the middle behind the silver ridge. Then, while pressing down, I push the cover towards the bottom of the phone using quite a bit of force. It comes off within 2 seconds.

Push down real hard towards the battery with your thumb behind the silver ridge on the battery cover then slide it towards the bottome of the phone. The clip that keeps it on it in the middle where the join is. |

I feel for you mate!!!!
Got my first k750 on last wednesday and had the same problem. Luckly i didnt put my sim at first as i was checking if the battery had already been charged. I was soo guted that i would have to wait another day  ... but i never did get mine off.
I got a new one.
Send it back to the shop you bought it from, they will deffiently get your sim out and replace the handset.
If you ordered it online, then you still have warranty! |

with 02 online I have a 14 day exchange thing anyway and i have only had it for a week - i'm just gutted that i will lose my sim! i hope o2 send me a new one out right away in replacement.
i just can't believe i can't open it. i think i may try - if i break it then o2 can replace it with my insurance... |

I can't believe it won't come off! It's only plastic and I'm sure with some serious force (without breaking it) it will come loose. Don't give up. |

My fingers were cut open from the attempts. Mate i hope it opens as some people have opened theres, but its best to play it safe and not break it. I know exactly what your going through, so its best just to give to o2. Dont worry about your sim, some way or another they'll sort it out. |

I recall the T610 and K700 battery covers being quite tough at the beginning too
The K750 sure is a little toughy though

Maybe I'm lucky, but I can't say I've had any problems. In fact, unlike other handsets, particularly Nokia 3310 and 6230 come to mind, I can't understand what it is about the design that is giving people problems. Is it just very stiff? The ridge seems pronounced enough that it should be straightforward. Maybe it's just a question of technique
