K750i vs 6280

[Viney]

The joystick on my 750i whent up the swanny, but had it replaced along with the keypad under warranty and it felt a lot better, much more clicky than it was.

If you bought your phone from Phones4U you could be in luck! Take it back to them & complain, I know a guy that's a Phones4U store manager. Apparently, their company policy is pretty much that if you are unhappy about your phone, they'll pretty much throw money at you to change your phone to a different one, regardless of if you stay on the same contract or change to a new one. They prefer to you change to a new one though. The logic behind this, is that the networks pay them for every NEW contract, and as such, internal sales targets are based on this. Basically, they'll pay you to help them make targets, but if you want to keep your contract, they'll still pay you, because if you just cancel & walk, the network wants it's money back from the shop. If it wasn't Phones4U, try it anyway, they'll probably operate in the same way.

As for your question, I don't think it'd be fair me offering advice on the phones you're looking at, as I haven't seen anything about them

Ive checked the firmware version and Im on the latest as far as I can tell, so thats that one out.

I was thinking exactly what you said too about the voice mail, but you try telling that to some Indian call centre! Anyway, to cut a long story short, I launched the phone at the wall last night in anger, but surprisingly, that didnt help. Its insured, so I said I have fallen over with it in my pocket and landed on it and its all smashed up. New phone will be here Mon or Tues next week. Result

Oooh do tell I wouldn't mind having a go at this (Mind you I've heard that they're near as damn it the same phone anyways )

They aint. Similar maybe.

joystick is dodgy on my k750i too, however im due an upgrade next month. The only problem i have with these phones is the ease with which the screen is scratched. The one bonus with clam phones.

i have the K750i and i'm very impressed with it. i love the camera on it and it has a fair size memory card on board! it is however quite flimsie and creeks a lot! i keep mine in my pocket most of the time and when you spend most of you're day jumping in and out of tractors and also wrestling sheep it fairs quite well in my opinion! the build quality is not as good as my experience with nokias tho! oh and its survived a 40mph slide down the road in my jacket pocket taking full impact from my bulk tothe road!
