Saliquincer's Review of K750



As we all know, the once praised SE T610 remained for a long period of time as a best seller , then replaced by T630. after that all SE lovers expected to see a T650 , but K700 came to the arena of mobile phones and disappointed us with lack of memoryslot but still it was strong to compete with its competitors, after X-mas Clara emerged and some pics leaked , this time SE wanted to surprise us by a Killer, now At the top of the range, a recent addition to this numerous SE family has appeared in the shops.it's rich in functions, and very refined, for those who are not easily satisfied and are always looking for ?the best?. SE executives? decision to make the K750 with latest technologies and features was an excellent one, since K750 functions clearly surpass those of the K700. One distinctive feature of this phone is the camera functions, which I will discuss in detail later in the review. Let me look at all the goodies that come in the package first :

K750 Package :

• Handset
• CST60 Charger
• Battery Li-Po 900 mA (BST-36)
• USB cable
• 64 MB Ms Duo card with Adaptor
• Stereo headset/handsfree
• CD with Software and Drivers
• Manual

Design and Appearance :
The sleek and sophisticated design of the K750 is just absolutely gorgeous. The cell phone?s dimensions are 100*46*20, and it?s only 99 g , it?s so handy , and looks different in real life . it?s so solid , not glossy like D500,T610,? the only part of the phone glister in front of your eyes , it?s frame of the display , the keypad is comfortable , however they could make it better, soft keys located a bit deeper. The joy-stick is great and easy to use. new Menu button is seen between softkeys.
2 MP Camera placed on the back of the phone artistically (let's thanks from Mr E.A) , we know that SE love this kind of design named "Dual Front". there is a speaker beside the camera ps flashlight. this time you can hold it horizontaly and shoot the pictures immediately (like S700) volume keys on the right side with Camera key. (Camera key has a backlight)
memory slot is on the left side that supports up to 4 GB memory cards.
Irda port located on top of the phone (the best place for Irda port in every phone IMO.) The ON/OFF button as usual located on the top.
Battery cover is easy to remove , S700 is only phone by SE that I've had problem in this way.
and atlast at the bottom of the phone , you can see a new interface slot port. (it annoyed me ,becasue I can't use my old accessories), (also I bought a HBH-662 with my K750i , I noticed it has a different port too... ) but after that when I connected my phone to my laptop , found it faster in transmission of data. it made me happy again




Display & Menu :
it has a high-resolution graphic display (176 x 220 pixels), that can show up to 260,000 colours. it's so vivid and bright enough and comparable by sharp,samsung,.. screens , I should say that it's not too large in real life. (29 * 36 mm). it's shallow and upper than K700 main LCD. also it can quite easily be read under various light conditions.
The Main Menu graphic user interface is very similar to those of SE's most recent production. Using it is quite easy and intuitive, if you are a new SE user you can easily gain confidence with it, there is 12 icons like K700 , only "Connectivity" icon has been removed and included in Settings , Calls icon displaced instead of Connectiviy Icon in main menu. (I liked to see an option of "View as List" but missed again)

to be updated ...

Mp3,Movie Player / Radio : (MPEG4,3GP,AAC,WAV,MP3,AMR,MIDI - 40 chord ...)

Mp3 Player > Now let?s go on to analyze another strength of this interesting mobile phone. if you need a great digital audio music player in your phone , K750 shout it louuuuud.
the speaker is loud enough (I confirm that it's louder than My K700). the sound quality is perfect through the headset now you can create your own playlist and listen to your favorite musics ........ enjoy!! , also there's no complete music keys on the phone (FF,FW,...) , a music key on the left side of the phone acts so simple. (stop..) , let's wait for W800 FW in K750.
Video Player > the quality of the video player depends on your clips !! I played some clips of my Z1010 and compared them to K750, (K750 was brighter with better quality). but S700 beat it casue for higher resolution display!! you can create new folders in Video directory for managing your clips. also it supports full screen video playback.
I recieved a CD last month for creating,converting,.. 3GP movies. (inside SE) but unfortunately it's so complicated and need a guide and pre-settings for making high quality videos. (there's a high quality pre-installed clip in K750 ; (K750 tour), it's only 1.9 MB but what a quality!! , I broke it up and found some settings ... surely try it later.)

Radio > for activating Radio function you have to plug in headset.(it acts as an antenna) after that you can switch the sound to the loud speaker. it has a new function named RDS (Radio data system) , this technology allows stations to transmit additional types of information via encoded digital signals that can be received and displayed by the phone. For instance: it can display the title and artist or current song playing, local traffic information, an advertiser's phone number while a commercial is playing, etc..
also you can store 20 stations in phone memory.


Messages/Emails/Calendar/Phonebook... :
here everythings are similar to K700.

some major features >

• 500 contacts can be saved in phonebook memory
• SMS,MMS,EMS,Email Client (advanced email client),IMPS (instant Messaging)
• you can copy "Contact's Details" in phonebook to Calendar (for birthdates...)
• bigger Font in writing SMS,email,..
• MMS size can be up to 300kb in many operators (most of pics taken by the camera is more than 300kb)
• 2 Megapixel photos can be attached to the email.
• Naturally, K750 is equipped with a fast GPRS class 10 (4+2) browser for Internet access via WAP (2.0)
  ......
  

Connectivity :
Bluetooth > BT 1.2 , I hadn't any problem , atleast worked with V3,P910,3230.7610,K700,Dell X30,... HBH-60 , HBH662 , Moto HS850, Sony BT Dongle.
btw now you can send multiple files via bluetooth.
IRda >

Battery Life :
the battery in the package is BST-36 Li-Po 900 mA, The autonomy offered by the light lithium polymer battery of 900mAh should be considered good, seeing the type of this phone (the camera consumes a lot of battery), It is over 9 hours in talktime and 400 hours in standby, for mine worked three days.(calls (1 hour),navigation,camera (100 pics)(10 video),30 min games, over 5 hours music playback and standby)
