If design is king, K750i has been one-upped

Feb 4, 2006

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Sexier than Nokia, all functions I seem to need
Cons: Large screen cramps buttons, joystick no joy to use, little internal memory
Opinion:
No wonder won design award in Europe before it came out, the looks are dynamite.

2.0 megapixel camera, features (autofocus, flash), sideway's holding works great, but are pictures that nice? Still on fence after week of play.

Nice mix of German engineering (extremly efficient screen and low power use options) with the current and long overdue renaisance in Taiwan manufacturing design. Details, like the 'retro' electro looks for incoming calls (and many others) just icing on cake.

Joystick and button manipulation not always on same page. My ancient Nokia two button seemed much more intuitive.

Did they take the screen size/button size tradeoff too far? Too little button pressing comfort for my taste, and, although K750i users complained about it, is a huge screen necessary? Maybe for showing off pics, but in the end of the day it's the buttons we use to use the darn thing.

Bought it in Taiwan for almost 100 US off of what I could get K750i for. Not perfect, but it's a value no brainer if you're sucker like me for pocket sized ferrari looks.
