Working for a phone company, I have seen this phone come back with problems more than any phone ever made. Motorola is the worst manufacturer. You'd think because they're such a huge company, that they'd get it right. but...unfortunatly 95% of their phones, are defective.
Common Problems:
Phone stops turning on
LCD Screen goes black
LCD Sensor stops detecting that the phone is fliped open
Key Pad stops lighting up
Antenna's come out easily
Buttons stop working.....etc (you can name it-)

My suggestion- get yourself into a samsung or a nokia, those phones last forever, and rarely have problems. I would not recommend a motorola!

I definately would not recommend people buying this phone. I got this phone because the Cingular dealer recommended it and said it would last a long time, however I've only had this phone 3 months and I've had to replace this phone, the first one: 1 in 73 chance that the screen would come up perfect. This is happening with the second one too.

If your local Cingular dealer recommends the Motorola V180, don't even think about it. Get another phone instead.

I've had nothing but problems with this phone. First, the vibrating function died. Then I began having issues with the keypad and most recently BOTH screens decided to just stop working. So, I now can't access my voicemail, text messages or phonebook. I'm going back to Nokia and will never buy another Motorola.

It looks as though this Item got all the reviews from another (Motorola) phone instead of reviews of the actual phone, the Sony Ericsson K750i.

Some sort of glitch or mishap, I guess, but just don't get confused and think these bad reviews are for this GREAT phone, OK?

It's late so I won't go into an in depth review, but I will leave you with this...


This is a Sony Ericsson phone, not a Motorola... And the phone is quite good overall, really. The only flaws (which can be minor or not so minor depending on how often you use your phone and if you text message people alot) that are very apparent are the small sized keys (with little space in between them) causing a more difficult time when using the keypad, as well as the joystick/toggle, as it is nice to have but it is far too easy to hit the stick to either side when you actually wanted to press it up or down. Throw in trying not to press the stick "in" as a button press while manuevering around the menus, and that drops the rating down some (to about 8.0 out of 10).

But as for the rest of the phone, the physical quality of the phone, the signal quality and call quality, as well as the great battery life and all the parts/accessories that it comes with - everything you need to sync and transfer etc is here, plus I got extra AC adapters to be able to plug it in and charge it in almost any country I might travel to - this is all GREAT and I have had no problems with my phone in the year and few months that I have had it now...

This phone is one of the best out there, and it has an INCREDIBLE 2MP camera in it as well.

Don't waste your money, even if they offer the $50.00 rebate. It takes 3-4 months to get the money and I've had nothing but problems with this phone since I got it.

> Problems with the phone not coming on
> Unable to access my address book or any stored menus
> Phone drops call for no reason
> Problems with charging
>The voice dialing is a joke
> Screen turns black when the phone is flipped open or it sometimes just dies and goes black when you're on a call or when you try to answer an incoming call.
I give it one star for the sleek look but nothing for function or quality. I now know why they're practicly giving these away for free.

I've had this phone for a year and a half with no problems. It is good for making calls which is really all I ask for from a phone. It is easy enough to use that I even bought one for my elderly parents and they've had no problems. My carrier is Cingular and I've had excellent service in the NY tri-state area and because it is a quad-band phone, I've also been able to use it while roaming internationally. Battery life is just okay (not as good as my old Nokia)...I have to recharge every other day with normal use. Overall, it's lasted me long enough that I would call it a good value.

Had 3 defective phones in 2 yrs... huge number of dropped calls...wouldnt recommend it to anyone even if its given away free....

I came here searching for the Sony Ericsson K850i. This 750i is an earlier model, and a great little phone, about the size of a Snickers bar.

I see that Amazon has pages of WRONG REVIEWS attached for this Sony Ericsson K750i that were left by several people who actually wrote about some disappointing Motorola phone instead. Too bad for that screw up, because the K750 is a very decent phone which was a high end cell phone when it came out several years ago. It certainly does not deserve the bad ratings it is receiving in error. Once you read past page one of these reviews, it becomes obvious that the reviews were in error because the reviewers consitently write about how disappointing their Motorola phone is/was.
Well, until Amazon removes those error reviews, this is not a Motorola phone folks - it is a Sony Ericsson K750i.

Sony Ericsson makes quality phones and the K series have been fantastic - especially for their dedicated cameras and quality music players.

Some people mention the keypad keys possibly being too close for large hands, but that could just depend on you, for even larger fingers might just get the hang of where to position and easily type a text. "My guys" did.

I agree that the joystick can be moved in an unintended direction. It does seem to have little glitches with fast movements until you get the hang of its inconsistencies, and don't attempt to be the speed racer with it. Sometimes it sticks too, but has always freed itself when we stopped trying to move it and it catches up.

This 750i has a dedicated 2-mp cam with an optional flash attachment (purchased separately) and has been a great phone and standby camera/video cam/personal alarm/voice recorder/internet. Love the FM radio and MP3 player too! This phone is small, easy to hold and has a nice menu.

The newer, K850i, has a 5-mp camera, some upgraded features, and is possibly a quad band, verses the tri band of the 750i.

A very basic phone with not one good ringtone, display or wallpaper. Did not recieve the USB cable. I am going back to the Nokia 6102i.

If you're the type of person that doesn't spend HOURS on the phone, and want a good basic phone, this phone is for you. I bought this phone in the UK at the Carphone warehouse for around 40 bucks, and it works great. I would say that the only gripe about this phone in the US is the price, I wouldn't pay over 40 bucks for it. It's a nice BASIC phone. The screen is a colored one and it has cool ringtones.
