The phone situation is sorted out. I’m proud owner of a Sony Ericsson K750i now. It’s a nice phone.
The camera is quite impressive (two megapixels) and will make my cheap Konica-Minolta x31 digicam obsolete. It’s quite cleverly done — you turn the phone by 90 degrees after sliding back the lens cover, and hold it like a small camera. The menu and other interface elements on the display are also rotated by 90 degrees when the phone is in camera mode.
The UI seems a bit weird after using Nokias and Motorolas for years, but I’ll get used to it. Syncing to iCal and Address Book via Bluetooth works without a hitch, as does USB file transfer and I can use the phone as a remote for iTunes and Keynote thanks to Salling’s Remote Basics.
Some things don’t work yet. I can’t use the phone as a Bluetooth GPRS modem with my Powerbook, and making calls and sending SMS from Address Book doesn’t work either.
Still, I’m quite happy with this purchase.
I’ve put the number into the blog’s sidebar, by the way.
