New mobile phones are released practically every other week nowadays, users are definitely spoilt for choice when it comes to mobile phones with so many different brands out there. From Nokia, to Sony Ericsson, to LG, to Samsung, to even Apple with the iPhone. The number of different phones out there for users to choose from is really staggering. Yet, in my opinion there’s one phone out there that has survived the “onslaught” of these new phones, it’s the Sony Ericsson K750i.

First, the K750i just looks great. the entire cover is black except for the sides which are silver in colour, this makes for an extremely stylish and sleek phone that has a very professional look to it. The keypad itself is pretty solid and is a standard keypad as one would come to expect of Sony Ericsson. One has to use a joystick to navigate around the phone instead of a d-pad, but that’s pretty common among Sony Ericsson phones now. Unfortunately, the joystick is probably the phone’s weakest point for me since its completely wonked for me. Most of the time, the joystick won’t register when you try to push it in any direction and I’ve had instances when I had to push on the joystick so hard that my finger hurt quite badly. Yet, the next day the joystick would work fine again, but then it’d go back to not registering your inputs again after awhile. Many people I know have encountered this problem with Sony Ericsson joysticks as well, even on other phones.

Still, that’s the only weakpoint of the phone and it has a ton of other features to make up for it. Where do I start? It has a 2 megapixel camera with auto-focus built in, a built-in radio, and everything else you’d usually find in a Sony Ericsson phone (Bluetooth, infrared port, ability to change themes, etc.) Every single one of these functions work great and are still pretty useful even more than 2 years after the phone’s introduction back in 2005. Basically, you won’t find any new surprises in this phone except for the camera which works really well. Then again, that’s not necessarily a bad thing considering how Sony Ericsson has always delivered relatively good phones.

All in all, it’s a pity the joystick is as bad as it is as it greatly affects your experience with the phone since you have to use it all the time, it can be a real pain after awhile. But that aside, this is a really good phone which has all the features of any other Sony Ericsson phone. Of course, it wouldn’t be a good idea to buy this phone now, but anyone looking for a second hand phone should definitely consider getting a Sony Ericsson K750i since it lives up to all the expectations one has of a mobile phone as a whole. Just pray hard that you get one with a proper joystick so that your fingers won’t hurt after prolonged use.
