The Sony Ericsson K750 phone rightfully occupied the place of the most anticipated new product of 2005. Leadership was transferred to the model implicitly. This fact is due to many factors. However, now we can say that the leak of information (possibly even planned) played into the hands of the company. Thus, many users and people interested in mobile phones got access to really interesting information long before the official manufacturer announced the device.
The first mention of the device
The first information about a mobile phone appeared in December 2003. I remember that even then, on the basis of the initial data obtained, many experts began to make a preliminary analysis to talk about what kind of approximate functional component the device will carry on its “board”. It was mentioned that the device can get the T650 index. However, the manufacturer understood that the series under this, with the permission to say, the code name became dying, in connection with which a decision was made to update the designations.
Back in 2003, the flagship of the line was a phone with the T610 index. It was a really cool invention of the company, a real bestseller. For a very long time this device remained in service, it was sold for a long period. A little later, an update was released to the market for the corresponding model. However, attention was offered only minor improvements, and something global was not, although this is what many potential buyers expected. Seeing what they were being offered in practice, they turned towards alternative solutions.

Design and focus
The model at the initial stages of creation was positioned within the company as a new flagship device. After the project was launched, the device with the future K750 index received the code name “Clara”. As we all remember very well, Sony Ericsson, when developing and creating flagship devices, always focused on those functions that were most in demand on the mobile phone market. As of 2005 (and this is the moment when the device was released) multimedia capabilities were such. What was required from a mobile phone? To provide the user with a good (for those times) camera capable of taking high-quality pictures, as well as allowing you to listen to music. Here, perhaps, the main requirements that were put forward to the flagships. At that time, many functions had already undergone a whole series of changes, and some, due to lack of importance, disappeared somewhere. In general, we can say that the new device inherited from its predecessors from the top all the advantages, all the strengths.
At the same time, the inside also became more powerful, the performance of the hardware “stuffing” increased by a considerable amount of percent. By the way, this move was a logical continuation of the strategy to provide the user with functional capabilities. It is unlikely that with weak modules it was possible to equip a normal two-megapixel camera.
What is better?
“Sony Erickson K750”, the photo of which you can find in this article, did not just take the place of the next flagship, in parallel becoming the most anticipated phone of 2005. A significant role in this was played by increasing the speed of the device. The reason for this was the improved processor power. The chipset was made to fame, and implemented simply amazingly. Optimized by engineers and software. We can say that it was this aspect when developing a new device that became central.
Engineering challenge
Nevertheless, when creating the device, company employees faced several challenges at once. The most serious problem at the same time was not just the functionality of the phone, but the layout of a certain set of functions and characteristics in the given overall ranges. Simply put, it was necessary to create something that would be several times better than the previous flagships, but at the same time would not break out for similar (we can say, almost identical) body dimensions in three-dimensional space. And then the company decided that it was the continuity between the models that should be the moment that potential buyers will catch it. Moreover, it was assumed that we are talking about the form factor of the phone, and about the design and appearance as a whole.
Appearance Features
Designers of the company thought for a long time about how to answer the challenge they faced. Indeed, should you accustom users to the small size of the phone, if the next flagship device (belonging to the same class) could have much larger dimensions? In any case, it looked illogical in the first place. Secondly, it would play a bad role in sales, scaring off some potential buyers. Yes, of course, one could nevertheless take a chance and take this very path.
But Sony Erickson decided that this was the lot of small companies, which at that time did not have a certain amount of resources that would allow them to develop modern devices by doing this in the minimum time frame. Nevertheless, the appearance of the model is quite interesting. The device was supplied to the international market of mobile phones initially in two color solutions. However, a little later, the operators received additional variations. At the same time, alternative indexes were assigned to them. For example, the operator T-Mobile received its version under the code name D750.
Set of technical specifications
If we talk about communication, the phone works in the GSM range. In three- dimensional space, the phone’s dimensions are 100 in height by 46 in width by 19.5 millimeters in thickness. In this case, the mass of the device is equal to one hundred grams, although in fact it is ninety-nine. A lithium-polymer battery is installed as a source of battery life. It is designed for a capacity of 900 milliamps per hour. In standby mode, the phone can work up to 400 hours, in talk mode - only 9. Full charge from 0 to 100 percent takes two hours.
The case is presented in a tube form factor, standard design. The manufacturing material is not very expensive, but nonetheless high-quality plastic. The case is painted in two primary colors, for operators there are versions under alternative indexes. The antenna is built in. The matrix of the screen is made using TFT technology, which allowed squeezing the maximum level of color reproduction. Displayed up to 262 thousand colors. In this case, the screen resolution is 176 by 220 pixels. The amount of built-in long-term memory is 64 megabytes. The package includes additional external media to expand it.
Reviews
This model was an excellent offer, which was used by a large number of buyers. But what are the advantages and disadvantages of the phone? Of the pluses, reviews note excellent software optimization, a good camera, and powerful hardware stuffing. Among the shortcomings is a weak speaker. You can easily not hear it, especially if an incoming call is made in a noisy environment. However, you can use your own ringtones to call, and this will save you from this problem.
