Hello all,
I'm purchasing a K750i tomorrow (or possibly first thing Monday) from myworldphone.com store in Queens NYC, in person.
I was wondering if you kind folks could share some tips as to how to test the phone there in their store so that I can at least slightly better the odds that the phone is not buggy. I know I have to ask for a printed receipt showing the IMEI to get Sony Ericsson USA to honour the warranty.
Also if you've bought the phone from them, could you let me know if it was buggy or not?
Thanks, |

well... in order to test the standby freezing thing, you'd have to leave it idle for a while... and see if it freezes... like overnight is the best test. |

That's true, I guess I am just being overly cautious. I want the phone badly but the bugs scare me. |

Ignore the bad press, the phone is worth it even with bugs.
Remember, only a small amount of people have problems with their phones. It just seem a big deal because bad opinions stick.
I certainly have none, the only bugs i have are the usual ones you get with new phones that get fixed through new firmware, if you're patient.

so do you guys think the freezing is caused by software and not hardware problem?
since it's not yet released here, maybe i can tell warn the sony ericsson people about this problem, he he he! |

Did anyone here really mail the bugs you've found here to SE? |

Make sure you give it the creak test. LOL
I'm just making some fun of the petty complaints that have been posted in other threads.
Enjoy it and send some cool pics : )

i think that the freezing is a software problem, because my 6230 used to do that, and then i upgraded the firmware, and it didnt freeze anymore... at all. so i think with a new firmware, the k750i bugs should be fixed. it's a great phone... totally worth the $400 i spent. |

Firmware updates will be available soon and possibly even debranding so don't be scared off. My P800 froze alot but it was still worth it!
Try taking some large pictures, scroll through pictures quickly, animated wallpapers etc. Just things that take up more 'thinking' power than others i.e. viewing large files. But honestly, take etaab's advice!

My K750i only tends to freeze up if i try to zoom in on pictures (horizontal view, and press +) ive already taken in 2mp resolution too quickly. If i press + then wait 2-3 seconds until the phone zooms in before pressing it again it does not freeze up.
It doesnt bother me, because i know its firmware related and will be fixed soon.

I agree with etaab. There are probably only a minority that has, or notices, the majority of the bugs.
A poll here at Esato could maybe confirm the situation.
Good luck! Enjoy your K750i!
Cheers!

Further update on my bug status after 10 days of ownership. I've still only had the 2 freezes using bluetooth, no freezes anywhere else and mine doesn't freeze when doing the above. Two other niggles, I had one case of missing shortcuts and then I have stuff refusing to transfer onto the phone from the duo!. |

Thanks for the wonderful encouraging advice! I appreciate it a lot.
I called myworldphone.com today they only had 1 phone in stock, and it was already ear marked for pickup by someone else. They're going to get a 100 new phones on Monday, so they've asked me to come in on Monday if I don't mind waiting as they will be busy with shipments too, or on Tuesday for fast service.
I'll call on Sunday and have 'em put a phone from the fresh batch aside for me, and pick it up the next day.
I'm *so* stoked!  |

yeah exact same thing here, if i go to my pictures, then open it, then press horizontal, then press zoom, all really quickly, my phone will freeze... but if i do that all and let it "process" or whatever, and take my time, then it's perfect! |
