I have a K700 and have enjoyed having it as my phone.

My main gripe with it was the lack of a 3.5mm jack but to be honest I can live without it. However, what has annoyed me to no end was the type of connection that SE has gone for. By simply tilting the connector to one side it breaks the contact and the headphones beome disconnected.

This has led to embarassing situations on the tube when some slight pressure in my pocket as I walk or as the phones moves around causes the connection to be broken and suddenly everyone around me starts getting bits of music blaring out of my pocket at them

I notice the K750 has a slightly different connector and I was wondering, is it any more stable?

Chances of breaking are much more considering it's length.

Good Im glad about that. Im still hoping that SE will ditch this connection in favour of a more secure one in the future though.
