The K750i is a very thin & light mobile phone with a really great built in 2 mega pixel digital camera complete with fitted lens cover. It is an excellent phone,with adequate memory for all your needs. The interface is intuitive and will only take you about 1 day to learn. Call volume is good, the headset is topnotch, and the screen is as clear as can be!.

The processor operating speed and its power grew, which is why there were many software problems in the development of the K750i. The many features of the K750i include high quality video recording, FM radio, text messaging, multimedia message service, digital music player, MP3 ring tones, memory stick expansion, downloadable games.

The phone itself will be presented in 2 colors, which is very interesting.
The dimensions of the K750 are quite comfortable (100x46x19.5 mm, 99 grams) but unusual for a phone with these functions. Looking at the front panel you see the standard layout of keys and functions. The first unusual thing is that the loudspeaker gaps are placed very high on the phone, almost on the top edge. This position hasn't hampered the loudspeaker work in anyway, the speaker is heard well, and the position means nothing.Energy consumption of the loudspeaker is much lower, and that is an evident plus.

The screen with 176x220 pixels (28x36 mm) resolution has undergone no changes and is the same as previous models, such as the K700 and K600. You won't see any principal difference between 65K and 262K colors in the screen, the picture is good, vivid and the interface drawing is very pleasant and no problems appear in the screen, and moreover, it is obviously one of the best in this form-factor. The picture fades in the sun, but text remains readable.

The keypad is made of plastic and number keys are placed in a single block. The joystick is unusual in the model. It doesn't look comfortable at first sight, accidental reactions are frequent, and a feeling arouses it lacks some harshness. With time you get so accustomed to the joystick that on the other phones they seem too tough and hard to control. Many people found it very comfortable having acquainted themselves with the K750.

An innovation of the model, an Activity Menu button, is above the joystick in the middle. In some ways we see a combination of interface changes and its hardware support. There are three bookmarks in the Activity Menu; on one you can add personal tags relating to frequently used functions and the third bookmark serves for specifying links to various resources. The main bookmark, shown by default, is last events list; they may be missed calls or calendar events. That is in some kind a copy of an event list in the latest models by Siemens. This is the main interface difference of the model from other phones by the company. It should be considered as a prototype of future phones' functionality, that will mainly be applied to the K750i based models.

There is an IrDA gap on the top end of the phone, and a turn On/Off button is also here. A new interface slot Fast Port is placed on the bottom end. The necessity of changing the interface is caused by the growth of data transmission speed. The company takes such steps very rarely and they look well-taken. Also it leads to the total change of all the accessories starting with the chargers and ending with cables. Unfortunately, there is no standard earphones output, and connection may be established only via Fast Port. Considering the peculiarity of the phone construction, the phone adds only about half of centimeter, the same is right for Nokia phones.

Unfortunately, the hot USB connection is not ideal and greatly differs from the one in the Motorola E398. Installing drivers is always necessary; otherwise the device won't be identified. Also, we should mention, only memory card data is acceptable, access to the user data is denied. That is not a serious minus, since the same data is kept on the card and all the applications, photos, images are saved there by default. This allows keeping the device on when using a USB connection, which allows the device to serve as an external drive based on MS Duo cards in some way.

A memory card slot is on the left-side surface closed with a shutter. In difference to smartphones, a rubber shutter was not applied here, and that is a conscious construction simplification. The shutter is tough and needs pressing to be fixed. If treated wrong, it may be pulled out.

Up to 4 GB of memory is supported and cards up to 2 GB are announced. A 64 MB memory card is included in the kit, and that is a necessary minimum to add to the internal memory. The user has about 30 MB of free space at his disposal at first, which is enough for almost all the operations, and considering the device sees no difference between the card and the internal memory, no need for extra capacity appears. There is a button responsible for accessing the last musical function on the left side; it may be radio or mp3 player. You may activate playing from the play list or radio with one press. The solution is comfortable, considering the functions work in a background mode, the idea is the best and there are no copies in this parameter.

There is a coupled volume level button on the right surface designed like a swing. The button is small which prevents controlling the volume comfortably without concentrating on the button. The button is mostly used in photo mode; it is not frequently used for the phone functions (slam size and right-side disposition). The button (pressing and holding it) also activates voice dialing.

A flash and an active shutter covering the camera lens can be seen on the back panel. Opening the shutter activates the camera, now you can hold the phone horizontally and take photos.

The battery compartment has also undergone some changes caused by the necessity to make more room. A folding cover brings no potential problems and the construction is reliable. Naturally, there are users that will drop the phone on the floor without closing the cover and break it as a result. Using the phone normally you will have no problems with it.

There is a 900 mAh Li-Pon battery. According to the manufacturer, it is capable of working for up to 400 hours in the standby mode and up to 9 hours of talks. In Moscow the device averagely worked for about 3 days in case of one hour of talks, up to 45 minutes of using other functions and two hours' listening to the radio a day. If working less with the phone, it will work about 4 days. Full recharging takes about 2 hours. Using the device as an mp3 player brings no serious battery life shortage, the model works for about the same time period (energy consumption is comparable to the radio mode).

Menu
As for the menu organization, it is typical Sony Ericsson style with only Activity Menu added. You may assign tags or speed dialing of this or that function to the joystick deviations. The main menu is represented with four rows with three icons in each. You may also use fast navigation with the number series, and then switching to a needed item will only take a few seconds.

The input convenience remained on the same level, by pressing the # key you will bring up available language list, and be able to switch between them while text input.

The manufacturer decided to take care of additional horizontal theme bookmarks. This means that now when you are in the call list menu, which is called by pressing the Call button, you will see not only the last dialed numbers but gain the ability to switch between bookmarks with last missed/received calls (horizontal joystick presses). In the phone's menu such navigation is used in all possible places, it strongly simplifies usage of phone; menu's ergonomics in this model is extremely high. I'd like to point out those similar horizontal panels present in the phone book, settings menu and several other menu items as well.

The K750i is a simular phone to the Sony Ericsson K600i & Sony Ericsson K608i, but the K750i has a slightly more compact feel to it & the features are of a slightly higher quality.
