Does anyone know when this is released in the UK? and its main differences over the K750i I heard it is a 3G phone - why exactly do we need a 3G phone?

Can anyone answer this question? =/

What does a 3G phone (K600) give me that a non-3G phone (K750) doesn't?

No, you CANNOT make video calls with k750, but you CAN make video calls using k600.

So 3G phones sound pretty pointless then - if all they really do extra is video calls.

Like govigov said: "higher data transfer speed and video calling" and also, one thing that isn't mention so much, better speech quality. From my own experience the quality is significantly higher than in a GSM-phone (I use a Z1010).

For hearing impaired the video calling is what makes a huge difference, now they can talk to eachother through a cell phone, not bad.
Althoug for me the data transfer speed is very important. I don't want to go back to GSM GPRS once I've tried 3G.

But if you only talk and send SMS with your phone, then you don't need 3G, that's correct... However, we will see an increase in services provided only for 3G-phones, so just wait and see. It will probably take a while, though.

@RichH6109

How do you know that?

If so I may hold off getting a K750i and maybe get the K600

@bert if u dont need 3g, then dont go for it. Its so simple. But if there is a 3g system already, we need fones aswell.

Thanks for finally explaining things. So if I had a 3g phone would the quality of voice from the person I'm speaking to sound much better even if he/she is on a regular (GMS?) mobile? and would I be a bit clearer to them by speaking into a 3G phone. I've heard it's possible to check e-mail on 3G phones too. Is this an expensive option? I'm just thinking about holding off a bit getting the K750i for the K600i. I think the K600i does look a bit better and it is a bit lighter.
