The K700i had a lush thick back, the K750 is just pissing me off. The camera shutter wobbles occasionally and the battery cover is terrible!

Has anyone else had these problems? What would you recommend? I put some paper underneath the battery cover and am going to borrow a screwdriver to tighten the rest, i mean i know all candybar phones creak (but the beautiful T610) but its ridiculous! [addsig]

I have handled the K750i and I would agree completely that it is not of the highest standards.

Apparantly, the W800i is much higher quality.

I'm trying not to think about it, it comes with lush access and the screen and cam is amazing. I dropped it on the carpet but thats it. Its still my fave phone but its annoying. Why? Why? WHY! 260 bloody pounds of hard earned cash.

Im also complaining to the carphone warehouse cos they're all fooking knobheads. She nearly got the guy to take apart the phone to put the sim card in. I was like: erm, i can do it myself thankyou. [addsig]

This was my first complaint with the K750 from the day that i bought it... i took my first one back and got it exchanged for another one that squeaks a little less... but it still feels clumsy. Every time i handle my brother's k700 or my old T610, i keep wondering how SE didnt manage to establish the same level of build quality for the K750...

the k700 was the bomb

if it only had a media player and external storage I would swap it back for my k750 any day, hell I'd even pay more money for it

DarkY the k700 did have a media player . .0:-)

i think se should realise that having quick share stickers fall off and putting rubber covers for the men card that looks cheap isn't really helping the rep . . . . . Really when you have to pay so so much for them why get something thats really plasticy . . . . . Not nice
dont your thumbs hurt??

I have used the K750i for a short period of time and found it a little flimsy but as someone said, you have to put up with it because of it's capabilties. It has so many features.

Neither t610 nor k700 had moving parts...k750 has a camera cover, thank god, but this made the phone less solid. I dont mind it, because this phone rocks ;-)

yeah, the d750 looks way better than the k750.. i just hoped we had a housing like that here in manila...
Yup, mine's build quality is poor, and i don't like the idea of having a black matte finish, the sides of the fone is starting to get glossy, and eventually the paint would just fade away... still i can put up with that, it's not everyday that u see a man listening to a 1 gig mp3 player and taking 2megpix snapshots all in just one flimsy fone..
