Sony Ericsson K750 review: Get excited!


Sony Ericsson K750 - one of the most important and most anxiously expected mobile phones of this year has finally hit the market. We are being offered a top-class device, which outruns most of the competition. No doubt a phone of its class naturally deserves a special review ... our is a little bit longer than usual.
Key features

* Very high quality camera with auto focus function
* Memory card
* Brilliant sound quality in the MP3 player

Main disadvantages

* No EDGE

* MP3 ringtones of average quality
* Camera shutter sound can't be switched off (update - on some firmware versions it can be switched off)

Sony Ericsson - just like the former independent Ericsson - has never missed to prove its competency in equipping its mobile phones with the latest high-class technologies. Taking into account the reasonable prices Sony Ericsson models are usually sold at, I think they have always managed to offer the customers a little more equipment than the competition of the same category. Let me remind you of mobiles like R320, R520, T39, T68, as well as of the latest T610/T630 and K700 models. Those were phones that would worm the cockles of any technoid's heart. They did not put themselves on airs, nor did the manufacturer use bumptious marketing statements in its promoting campaigns - the phones were simply good and functional. In proportion to price and performance they often did better than the competition.

The new Sony Ericsson K750 homes into the king class of the so called manager mobile phones. Once again quite boring at first sight, the phone invites you to peep into what is hidden inside its shell. By the way, this review comes out exactly a year after the publishing of the tests of the previous K700 model.

It has been some time since Sony Ericsson K750 first hit the markets in Europe. On internet it is being offered for approximately 370 euros.

As you see, the price is not high. What's more, a notable price cut is to be expected too. The previous Sony Ericsson model K700 was launched in July last year at an official price of about 470 euros. Within a few months its price went down by 130 euros.

We are testing the marketing sample of the phone, the constructional work on which has not been carried through yet (see creaky sounds, for example).

At the beginning, let us make one last "organizational" remark. When we write our reviews, our purpose is not to praise the phones (no matter how good they are) from the very beginning to the very end of the article, but to rather call readers' attention to certain details, which may seem irrelative in theory, but could vex you unpleasantly in practice. There is no doubt Sony Ericsson K750 is a brilliant mobile phone, one of the best on the market. Yet, it is not perfect and has its minuses as any other phone, so if we sometimes stress its cons too much, please do not take it as an offense.
