I've had my phone since I upgraded at the end of July. At first glance it seems like it's a fancy phone. However, I was able to use my previous cell phone as a flashlight, because the backlight stayed on for 3 minutes. This Sony Ericsson Z750 phone has no backlight. The screen goes black within 10 seconds if you are not actively using the phone. I don't use my phone that often; but, I have to charge it about every second day. If you use your phone a lot, you might want to invest in a car charger.

The main feature that I like is that there is no camera button anywhere on the outside of the phone. So, if you're like me and carry your phone in your pocket, you're not going to end up with a full phone memory from the camera taking pictures of the inside of your pocket.

I don't use the phone for anything but a phone, so I can't provide any information about any of the other features.

I don't think the phone is worth paying full price for it. If you can get it with rebates, you might find it worthwhile. I recommend trying it before committing to buying it.

The worst phone I've had. Period. The battery life is horrendously short. Dropped calls constantly. I used the phone to check e-mail and it crashed constantly. I had problems with it not being able to send text and multimedia and , though the tech support people really gave it their all, many solutions were never found.The display is impossible to read outside on the pink phone. After 5 months of use my 2 year old spilled milk on it and it died forever. I won't miss it. In the past I've used Nokia and Motorola and I'll definitely go back to one of those two. If I had to find something positive to say the camera worked really well.

This is the worst cell phone I've ever owned. The back would not stay on - I had to hold it on with a rubber band. The battery would not hold a charge, and I ended up buying 4 batteries for this phone. It would not work out in the country where I live, but both of my Nokia cell phones did. My daughter-in-law bought the same phone (different color)the same day I did, and her phone is just as bad. We ended up buying cheap Nokia pre-paid phones and switched our SIM cards. This was my first and last Sony Ericsson phone. Neither AT&T nor Sony Ericsson would respond to our pleas for phones that would work.

We purchased from Amazon.com one Motorola RAZR2 V9 Phone and two Sony Ericsson Z750 Phones along with a mandatory 2-year contract AT&T FamilyTalk Nation 550 Rollover Minutes.
Pros: $0.03 for all three phones, Rollover minutes.

Cons: just to mention few...
- The worst talk and standby time on all three phones particularly the Sony Ericsson, despite the fact all three of us use our cell phones only for very necessary or in emergency situations.
- More dropped calls than the competition.
- The quality of voice (connection) is a lot to be desired.
- You cannot program the phone on speaker ahead of time. You can activate it only after dialing or receiving a call - A SAFETY ISSUE while driving.
- The buttons on all three phones are arranged in such a way so that one can easily get connected to internet inadvertently. Despite disconnecting it immediately, you get charged by AT&T. The AT&T advice was to either purchase a new plan (for additional high monthly fee) or have the option of internet connection totally disconnected (without reduction in monthly charge despite reduced service). We end up to having to choose the latter.
- The ring tone of RAZR2 V9 when on speaker phone is laryngitic.
- The choices for the ring tones are severely anemic, unless you purchase more tones from AT&T.
- The voice command, as I understand it, can be activated only with additional monthly fee. The competition gave that for free on the less equipped phones.

WHY DID WE NOT CANCEL THE AT&T PLAN during the first ONE month of grace period?

This one goes to Amazon.com and its new stifling way of business: If you cancel or reduce the plan within the first SIX months, you have to pay $250 for each phone!!!
Perhaps I was too generous to include "$0.03 for all three phones" as a Pro for this, seemingly, deal; or more seemingly, ordeal.
