Sony Ericsson K750i
by Geachy92
I had the phone for a period of around 2 year and I was not the most careful of owners, it often got dropped, sometimes into water or sand and it managed to survive somehow. The only time I ever had real issues was when it got dropped in sand as some grains got stuck behind the joystick, making going up and down very difficult for a few ... months untill the sand worked loose.
I paid around £90 for this phone as I got it when it was still relatively new. For a phone at the time it was very well equipped with a 2MP camera. It took good photos, or at least as good as they can get from a 2MP camera anyway. It didn't cause too much blurring if your hand was shaky like my newest phone and the flash was very useful.
Calling and texting is obviously what most people buy a phone for and it did both just fine. The in call features were quite good, with the ability to record calls if you needed, and the loudspeaker was of good quality.
The speakers were okay for a phone when playing music, although when compared to my friends Walkman equivalent, they seemed very shoddy, but then this was not a phone built for music.
The menu system was good and I have always liked the Sony menus on phones. It was well equipped with features and has bluetooth, a permanent flash you can use as a torch, good calendar functions etc.
Although the internal memory wasn't tiny, I utilised the expandable memory on the side of the phone for playing music etc.
The overall build quality as I mentioned before was very good, it didn't ever break from many drops, just developed the odd scuff or scratch. The phone itself continued without any malfunctions.
The battery life was quite good, nothing particularly special, but would last for a long enough period of time, perhaps 4/5 days of light usage.
Overall it was an excellent phone and I only upgraded due to my contract running out, got a newer Sony that was much worse and liable to breakages. Wish I'd stayed with this one now.

Bodyglove mobile phone cases
by January
I'm a bit heavy handed when it comes to looking after my mobile and it has been dropped on the floor on numerous occassions as well as been left on the roof of a car whilst chatting and forgetting it was there and driving off so it flew onto the road, so my daughter bought me a Bodyglove mobile phone case to keep it protected from ... scrapes and getting battered about.
It cost her £4 at the towns market as they have a indoor market with a mobile acessory stall inside the building.
You can get then from Ebay for around £5 or online at play.com or other mobile assessory sites for around £6.
The case I have is black material and it have a flip over cover much like a tiny little pocket that you slip your mobile into, it fits snuggley into the pocket and has a press stud fastener to keep your mobile in place.
The front of the cover is a clear plastic material and you can use your mobile through the plastic and press the keys to dial or answer your mobile, it is a strong durable material and has can stretch slightly to fit tightly around your mobile.
You can get other bodyglove covers for different makes of mobiles.
You can still charge your mobile up when this cover is on as it has holes where the charger goes, I don't like to use it all the time but if I am going out without my handbag and I'm just carrying it or keeping it in the pocket of my jeans then I like to put the cover on so that the screen doesn't get scratched or damaged.
I think the material is slightly waterproof as it doesn't seem to get water in the case, but I wouldn't like to drop it in water to find out that it isn't fully waterproof.
I have found that sometimes if you have the mobile in your car on the dash and are driving around on a hot day, the plastic cover can mist over with slight condensation so I don't use it when it's really hot weather when i'm driving the car.
They come in different colours and for different makes which is good for choice and the price is cheap enough to be able to protect your mobile when you need to.
It does protect your mobile really well as I have dropped mine with this on and it hasn't been damaged or scratched so it's worth the money.
