Basically, there seems to be a lot of 'nearly new' K750s for sale in Esato's 'For Sale' section - why?
Are they full of bugs, unstable, difficult to use, camera a dissappointment? (Though I doubt the last one - I've been impressed with the photo quality from the pics in the K750 picture thread).
Or is it just too bulky or unwieldy? Are people selling them just to try to make themselves a few quid?
This could be somewhere in the K750 discussion thread, but I don't fancy trawling through all the posts in that thread to find it, it's rather a big thread! So, why are you all selling your K750s just after you've got them then?

Some people are unhappy with the phone (due to bugs or the fact its not a smartphone) but i wouldnt say thats why so many are for sale.
I'd put money on the larger majority of them however have obtained K750i phones through cheap means and simply want to get rid of them - and at the same time make themselves a tidy little profit.
The K750i is currently a high demand phone, so the people selling them are simply taking advantage of the market to sell their phone now before it depreciates.

alot of people work for phone companies and get them on the cheap and sell them on
also people get free upgrades and may be happy with the older model

Exactly. Ive done similar.
Earlier this year i didnt know whether to upgrade my contract and get a Nokia 6630. I was debating whether to keep it and dump my K700i, or keep my K700i and sell the 6630 straight away.
I did neither, i cancelled my contract and bought a K750i.

@etaab, I did also wonder if it was people who'd upgraded or renewed their contract and decided to make a few quid out of the phone, though I'm sure that not everyone who's selling their K750 got it that way!

Well, since contract customers got their phones first before us people who buy them unbranded, it doesnt suprise me theres lots of sale, possibly from that group of people.

Thats basically it...or has a friend who works in the industry and gets between 30-to-40% staff discount of the RRP.So a nice way to make a tidy profit.

The phone is full of bugs ! No wonder so many wants to get rid of it ;-) after reading a few treads ( people complaining about the poor software/hardware) I've decided to stick to my smart brick :-))

actually its not full of bugs
i have had only one problem with the phone (shortcuts being deleted) and i was probably one of the first to buy it.
but when a phone is new and really popular, its logical that it will have bugs, and in a popular site like esato you will get numerous complaints.
but if this was a nokia forum, wed get 100 times more ppl asking where they can activate bluetooth just cause the series60 platform is so deeply flawed in terms of design !

Thats very true. Im also a member of a Nokia forum where i've post often in the past about my Nokia phones. Usually the problem with Nokia phones is crashing, restarting or not being able to access the mmc card.
Mario, compared to the amount of people i read moaning about Nokia phones the K750i IMO is pretty much bug free.
