I love this phone - it's just easy to use and has a lot of good functions. My one complaint has been the battery life though. It's not horrible but it's not as good as my Motorola. I just changed the USB setting (as mentioned below) so hopefully this improves. I don't see how to change the 3G setting in my phone. Can someone help me with that or give me tips on how to preserve battery life even more?

So it’s been about a week since I updated to the USB settings and did see a considerable difference in my battery life: now lasts about 2-3 days (rather than 8-10 hours) with a decent amount of calls per day as well as good amount of text usage and I use the Media Player with my car stereo. I still decided to opt what other people have done and contacted Sony Cust Service and req to have a replacement battery sent out.
As for the media player you can see a similar version on the device simulator for the K850 : http://www.sonyericsson.com/tr...window=popup
Just go to Menu and select the media player to see how it works.
Play with it to see how you like it! Enjoy!

I just got the phone yesterday, and it works great! The OLED screen on the front saves power, and another really good thing about the phone is that it as a light sensor. Now, as im not a very big text/pic person, this probialy wont help me much. But for all you texters out there, this feature will help you save battery and other stuff that i have no idea, since i dont text much...

I just got this phone from ATT after using the W580i, and it's a breath of fresh air. The buttons are larger and for me lets me text much faster. The interface is a little different from the w580i and Z520a and I'm still getting used to it. But all in all it's a great phone. The front doubles as a mirror and scrolls the songs you're listening to. The new media player is awesome! (similar to the PSP/PS3 menu interface). In the sun the front display is really hard to see but the main screen is large and in charge lol that also changes it brightness based on the surrounding ambient lighting.
The ATT version has removed the video calling feature by physically removing the camera as well as the software and has all the MEdia Net and ATT Music and CV (Cellular Video) options.
One thing that I noticed right away was the battery life. Assuming that it was the 3G I just let it go. But after a week of owning the device I notice that the battery life is only about 1 day, requiring me to charge it nightly. I’m not a heavy calling person – at most 20-40 mins a day but I send text and picture messages to no end and use the music player.
But I think I found the answer on an ATT forum it may not be the 3G trying to connect but the phone searching for a data connection. Here’s the instructions to correct it posted by Stuggernaut:
Click MENU button
Go into SETTINGS
Switch to the CONNECTIVITY tab
Scroll down to STREAMING SETTINGS and select that.
In there there are two options "Connect using" and "Allow local conn."
Click on CONNECT USING
In here I noticed that unlike other options, there is a second TAB. The first time is "Mobile Connections" and the second one is "Local Connections"
Go to the LOCAL CONNECTIONS
There are two options in there."PanUDefaultAccount" and "USB Ethernet"
Switch to USB ETHERNET
I’ve done this and so far it seems to be working great - I’ll post my findings after using it for a while.

Let get this straight...
SE released the Z610 then a year later a Z750
only difference is a better screen & HSDPA
I dont blame them for trying to increase the longevity of this case...
it really is sexy!

it should be available in singapore, if it is out of stock then just get it online, it will be available on many sites like amazon and many more. make sure you buy Z750i and not Z750a if you are out of US.
reagarding the phone, the phone might give a look of that its bulky but its not at all bulky , infact its light compared to many other phones.
in US its available in Bestbuy, if anybody wants to see the phone in person. they can go and have a look to it.
this phone can be used as modem upto 1mbps speed easily possible and you can use the internet setting option to be set accordingly and connect it thru laptop for browsing but that will be thru your data connectivity and charges for data will be applied.
so i recommend to get data plan and you can easily let go your net provider service which usually cost more than the data plan charges, atleast true in US, i am not sure of other countries

I am also interested to know about battery life & can we off 3G in cingular service. I read the specs, can you guys try the voice activated menu. How it is working? I don't think we need a service for this, it should be SE phone software. Any comments on this. I like this site, anyone can comment here without reg.

Thanks man. By the way if you are not using ATT, then ur not in US, where are u using this phone? If someone has any idea, is ATT is allowing us to off 3G?. please respond. Even from deals2buy, we are getting cash back of $99.99 upto 2 phones till 6/15/08. Eventhough the phone looks light bulky, for cashback it's worth. My laptop has bluetooth, other than songs, whatelse can I transfer between SE & Laptop using bluetooth. Can I search internet in SE using laptop's internet connection (not ATT wireless internet) with bluetooth?

I am not sure about ATT turning that mode off, but it could be because ATT bought 3G spectrum from Ericsson and they sold their 2G to Suncom. ATT wants the user to just use 3G so that they can earn the returns of what they have invested, if thats the case then its going to be with any 3G phone.
However here is how you can turn off the 3G mode and just use 2/2.5 G
settings-->connectivity-->mobile networks-->GSM & 3G Networks
select the one which you want GSM=2/2.5G
and other would be GSM & 3G
this feature is going to be there in all SE phones.
regarding the talk time in 3G mode, max this technology can achieve is 5hrs and that is also network operator dependent, if the phone is constantly searching for a signal from near by Base station then there is more requirement put on your power amplifier of phone, so it will use more of the battery life, same thing is true when your bluetooth is also on. so turn off the bluetooth when not in use (this also keeps away the hackers off from reaching ur phone)
then there are certain other things which consume the battery life like ur usage applications and the way you use your phone.
last but not the least, never let your phone battery die completely and then charge it, always recharge your phone when the battery is like 30 % left, this will ensure long battery life and its also more safe to use phone when battery has more than 15% of the charge remaining.
you can go and buy this phone, you won't regret.
cheers

Thanks for the reply. But in some forums it was mentioned that ATT disabled the option to switch 3G off in USA. Is it true? Even with 3G, is battery coming 5 hours? if so then I am fine & I will buy this phone.

that is not true, when u read on some of the forums that just somebody's opinion, when the company post its specs including the talk time they have that analysis done over a very big sample size and lot of research goes into that to keep good talk time, sony ericsson is generally famous for having good battery life phones.
the talk time in GSM mode is 9 Hrs and its 5 hrs in UMTS mode, now UMTS talk time is always going to be less because thats the inherent drawback of tecnology irrespective of the company phone u buy, its going to be less.
Make sure ur Bluetooth is turned off when not in use, and try to use GSM mode for voice call by turning off the 3G mode.
