What Customers Say About Sony Ericsson Z750 Phone, Purple (AT&T):

I live in what Verizon calls a dead zone. It is sharp-looking in purple, but is always covered in fingerprints. If you do too, you need to be sure to get the phone with the best signal - a non-low-end Motorola or Nokia. This one did not work. (I ended up with a Motorola. Love it, and it works).

- You cannot program the phone on speaker ahead of time. Pros: $0.03 for all three phones, Rollover minutes. 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). - 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.

- The choices for the ring tones are severely anemic, unless you purchase more tones from AT&T. - More dropped calls than the competition. - The quality of voice (connection) is a lot to be desired. 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. WHY DID WE NOT CANCEL THE AT&T PLAN during the first ONE month of grace period. Despite disconnecting it immediately, you get charged by AT&T.

We end up to having to choose the latter. - The ring tone of RAZR2 V9 when on speaker phone is laryngitic.

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. Cons: just to mention few.

- The voice command, as I understand it, can be activated only with additional monthly fee. 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. The competition gave that for free on the less equipped phones.

Perhaps I was too generous to include "$0.03 for all three phones" as a Pro for this, seemingly, deal; or more seemingly, ordeal.

My wife also never used it. I ordered this phone for my self and my wife from Amazon. Its too bulky and I didn't realized it thtough its picture. (Purple and Pink) I am using it for 4 month and frankly I have not had any problem with that. But I just hate its shape and design. Their colors are also not as charming as it looks like. I suggest you to see the phone in the store before you order.

I stayed with this brand so I would not have to order new car chargers and additional chargers for work. The first day I used this phone, I made a few calls and played Tetris for about 15 minutes, and the battery was at 50%. Where can I start. During my breaks I like to play Tetris on my phone. The phone occasionally would lock up and need to be restarted, (which takes a LONG time on this phone), and was overall a bust. I like the big, colorful screen, but that's about all I can say. I am on the phone all day, and between my game playing and calls, I never fall below about 25% of battery life left at the end of the day.

I fully recharged it that night, and had the same problem the next day. I ordered this phone because I already have a Sony Ericsson and I have been very happy with that one for 3 years. By the early afternoon, after several more calls, the battery was dead and needed to be charged so I could finish my day of calls. The battery life is HORRIBLE. I sometimes play for about an hour a day. No Tetris, just my usual calls, and dead by early afternoon. I am returning this phone and sticking back with my old Sony Ericsson Z525a.

I live in the Philadelphia suburbs, not sure what kind of network coverage is around here, I do get the H on the top left. I've had this phone for about 3 weeks and so far I'm getting great battery life, I haven't really kept track, maybe 5 days or more. I don't have blue tooth and don't make a ton of calls, rarely turn the phone off. It's funny, one of the things the salesman said about this phone when I got it was that it had good battery life.The sound quality is excellent, I like this phone a lot but haven't had time to investigate every feature the way some reviewers have. The display on the front is cool, and hard to see in bright light as others have mentioned.I like the way it displays the listing of calls, outgoing, incoming and missed.
