I am asking this question to see if we are forgotten by SE here in Lebanon ot there are many other countries where it's still not released.
I am getting mad to see that this phone is out for more than 3 weeks in Europe and here it's still not known

Unless you your local operators do not support the 3 bands the K750i can use it certainly wont get released.

But since the K700i was released where you live, theres no reason why the K750i shouldnt. It'll just be taking longer to reach you for reasons such as priority, higher costs, difficulty with operators etc.

The same applies in the USA. I waited until April to get my S710.
There was a release date of Dec , 2004. It was released in March 2005.

As far as the K750.... There is no word yet.

Americans are not as crazy about cell technology as other parts of the world. One example... I only know a handful of people that have a BT phone. I, on the other hand, will not by a phone with out BT.

I ask folks all the time, " What do you mean you don't need bluetooth"?

Most folks here buy crappy phones. Grrrrrrr... hence why the demand isn't as prevalent as the UK and Asia

The US is likely to get K750i called K770a or something silly like that, if SE see fit to release it there.

Here in Portugal it will be launched soon, before the end of the month. Its gonna be an exclusive of optimus telecom. I think in Spain it will be launched more or less the same time

Here in the Philippines, it's been launche already to the mobile phone distributors but it's not yet out in stores. I think it'll be ready for sale either next week or the week after *fingers crossed*

The K700 never made it here. Knowing how well americans love the WalkMan brand.

The W800 will definitely be the product to brand in the U.S.

i have a suspicion that some countries are waiting for the firmware upgrade before launching the phone. they don't want to be swamped with complaints about all the freezing bugs, low call volume, etc.

@senninha

That makes perfect sense. It also also avoids customer dissatisfaction.

I'm waiting until the phone is out for a good while. Or hoping that the S series comes out with a 3.0 MP

I'm happy with my S series at the moment.

I seriously doubt it. SE would lose a lot of money if they had the ability to release the phone now, but hold it back to keep customers happy.

Besides, i doubt SE is swamped with complaints about the phone. We've heard from lots of people on Esato who're unhappy with something about their K750i, but they're only a small majority of the overall amount of owners. The larger majority of people are happy with their K750i and have no bugs at all, or bugs which are acceptable until an update is ready.

K750a ? as in the US version ? AFAIK its not even been announced or confirmed that the phone will even enter the US market.

AFAIK the K750c is out now.

The problem here is not the incompatibility of the k750 but the non-respect of the consumers and an archaic marketing,that's why they don't care about us and bring a model 1 month after Dubai release,shame on them!
some people told me that they want to finish s700 stocks and lower the k700 price first...

It's surprising that the K750a hasn't even been announced

Poor Americans! [addsig]
