Is this the best present-day mobile phone?
Sony Ericsson K750 is one of the best mobile phones ever. Its new phonebook comes to correct one of the main disadvantages of the forerunners - the much too small contact list. The new model is equipped with a memory card, which makes the MP3 player usable. What’s more, the sound performed by the player is excellent.
As a matter of course, the phone features some less attractive characteristics. None of them is however so crucial to make me warn you against buying Sony Ericsson K750… except for the damnable EDGE, which may lure away a significant amount of customers!
Here is my final conclusion:
Despite an advanced feature set which includes a high quality camera and similarly high-performance audio player, the Sony Ericsson K750i manages to maintain acceptable battery life. Despite its lack of EDGE for high-speed data, the handset also delivers an excellent overall experience in the communications and messaging departments, rendering it the very best handset to be had at the time of its introduction. In other words, the K750i comes highly recommended.
