Sony Ericsson K750i Review - Introduction
Sony Ericsson's K750i is a powerhouse of a mobile phone. Its executive styling belies the vast array of multimedia features beneath an all-business black and silver exterior.
 Packing a best-in-class 2 megapixel camera, full-featured digital music player, and 262,000 color screen with 3D graphics support into a tri-band GSM handset, the K750i is boardroom friendly but ready for some serious fun.
Next: Design » Reviews by manufacturerVerizon Wireless, Sprint PCS, Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, LG, Sanyo, HTC, Palm, BlackBerry, Sharp, Pantech, BenQ, Apple, Eten, o2Our fancy algorithm says this stuff is related...The K750i is a relatively compact candybar-style handset featuring a black exterior set off by silver trim around the edges. At 1.8" w x 3.9" h x 0.8" d and 3.5 oz in weight, it's not the sveltest phone out there, but still falls within the realm of easily pocketable devices. This phone has a bit of heft to it, which some may find surprising given the variety of flyweight mobiles available right now. I rather like the heft, as... The 2.0 Megapixel camera on the K750i is the best camera I've ever used on a phone, and one of the best available today. Head to head shootouts with Nokia's N90 set featuring its 2MP Carl Zeiss optics regularly give the K750i a slight edge in picture quality, and after a few snaps it was clear to me why. Taken in good lighting conditions, highest-quality photos from this handset are sharp, detailed, and color accurate. The 4.0x... Beyond its show-stopper of a camera, the K750i packs a serious list of features that appeal to both the business and pleasure desires of the high-end mobile user. The K750i is a tri-band GMS phone, with 900/1800/1900 bands and high-speed GPRS functionality. While the phone is marketed as a world phone, the lack of an 850 MHz band may be a drawback for some potential buyers.
The other featured goodie here is the music player... The 175x220, 262,000 color display on the K750i is absolutely excellent. At nearly 2" diagonal, the TFT screen is sharp, detailed, and a worthy compliment to the handset's stellar camera. As with almost all high-res phones, the Sony's screen is somewhat difficult to read in direct sunlight and prone to fingerprints and smudges, but it's still a joy to use. The animated menus built in to the phone's UI are speedy and render... Call quality on the K750i is quite good. The phone's speakerphone is housed beneath the rear panel camera assembly, rendering it basically invisible, but callers' voices still came through acceptably loud and clear. The speaker also works surprisingly well as a makeshift way to share your music with others. It won't take the place of a stereo system by a long shot, but it works fine when you need a quick music fix.
The... The K750i supports both SMS and MMS messaging protocols. MMS messages allow for audio, pictures, and videos to be included with text in your message, provided that both the sender and receiver's cellular service supports MMS. Full quality photos taken with the 2MP camera may prove too big to send via MMS, but the files can be compressed to sizes suitable for this use. The phone features T9 predictive text input with a...
