Advice on sanyo S750 & S750i

stevejk75 · 24-10-2005, 07:27

Couldnt find any other threads on these two phones.
Has any body else had any experience with these two sanyo 3G mobiles,they seem to have a good spec.They are advertised on the orange website at £49.99 for S750 and £59.99 for the S750i.I was just thinking that they semm rather cheap for such a ni spec phone.
I know they are probably pushing them as a promotion.
But any advice please.

stevejk75 · 26-10-2005, 07:06

Thanks for the help.I bought it anyway.

samsawhney2005 · 26-10-2005, 11:11

Just ordered mine 2day so am waiting now for it to arrive!!

stevejk75 · 26-10-2005, 14:25

I ordered the s750i.You get few extras with it.Got the motorola c975 last week not a bad phone.
I have a fetish about phones you see.
Shame really.

samsawhney2005 · 26-10-2005, 15:10

buddy welcome to my world! ive currently got a sony k700i and a moto razr - the moto is boring me now even though its in mint condition and only had it for 3 months, decided a change was necessary - i have to admit im obsessed by phones too! i think the s750i sounds like a good deal for its price - do u know if it comes with a memory card? wasnt sure but i have an orange catalogue for this month from one of the stores and it said a 32mb card was included

hope it is although ill just pick one off ebay - ive become a bit obsessed with searching for a bargain handset like this that can store music tracks too as am sick of missing calls when am listening to my ipod shuffle when am on the train!

stevejk75 · 27-10-2005, 11:44

Got mine this morning,great little phone.
Got to get me head round the usb connection.Drivers installed,But no icons anywhere on screen.

darranbeard · 27-10-2005, 12:34

I have a SE K750i on Orange and it came with a 64mb Memory Stick Duo card. My mate got the Walkman version (W800i) and his came with a 512mb Memory Stick Duo card. I'm currently looking out for a 2gb card to go in and I'll be sorted!

samsawhney2005 · 27-10-2005, 14:15

nice one steve, is it as good as it seems? did the memory card come with it too?

darran a quick question for u buddy, which is better in your opininon se k750i or the w800i? the missus is unsure as she is getting an upgrade end of the month and she is choosing bewteen the two! cheers!

jagger2k · 27-10-2005, 14:49

i have the w800i, its practically the same and the k750 but comes with a 512k duo, better headphones, better packaging.

darranbeard · 27-10-2005, 15:38

Its personal preference to be honest. Does she prefer the smart black look K750i or the brighter white/orange of the W800i. The only difference between the 2 are the differnet sized memory sticks (you can buy any size up to 2GB in the shops anyway) and the W800i has a few more media player based functions. If she is not interested a great deal in the walkman part of the W800i then just choose whichever ones she thinks looks best (or goes best with her new handbag!!!!)

stevejk75 · 27-10-2005, 16:58

Yes i got a 32mb memory stick with it.Having trouble with the bluetooth.My motorola v547 wont recognise it.Trying to transfer all my mp3 ringtones and pics across.

dreamypuma · 27-10-2005, 18:50

So getting back to the topic... Is the Sanyo any good? Does it feel plasticy and cheap or is it well built?

Can you actually hear the ringtones? Is the screen anygood? Is it easy to use? How big is it and does it weigh a lot?

Any regrets, does it do what it says on the tin?

samsawhney2005 · 27-10-2005, 20:41

cheers darren i think she wants the w800 just cos it looks a bit different as we agreed not much difference other than that!

and just awaiting my sanyo now hope it is worth the money altho my mate who has the s750 has bluetoothed over stuff to my moto razr and k700i several times and vice versa no probs

mikey86uk · 27-10-2005, 22:22

my Brother has the S750i and he likes i dont like it

The media player is rubbish on it and lack of features. also it cant seem to find most tracks on the SD card, all i have to do on my C500 is open up WMP and there in there ready to play

All it has over my lovely C500 is a Better Camera Better screen

oh and 3G

and the reason why its cheap is becus 3G hasnt taken off aswell as The networks had hoped for

stevejk75 · 28-10-2005, 06:27

It is light and feels a bit cheap.But it also has loads of features.Having said that not a bad phone.What do you expect for £60.

02-11-2005, 14:44

Good offer available with this phone, if you can find an Orange shop that is participating

See Sanyo link

bluesnow · 07-11-2005, 14:57
