Amazon.com Product Description
The Sony Ericsson Z750a clamshell phone is ready to access your favorite streaming music and video thanks to its tri-band 3G connectivity, which makes it easy to download music purchased from AT&T Mobile Music, stream tunes from Napster and eMusic, and watch video streamed from CNN and Comedy Central via AT&T's Cellular Video. This phone also offers quad-band GSM connectivity for easy globetrotting. Stylishly accented with curved corners and a mirror-finish, the Z750a also has a hidden external display that only lights up when your phone is in use (such as when a call comes in). Other features include an internal 320 x 240-pixel screen, Memory Stick Micro expansion, full HTML browsing with RSS feeds, and Exchange ActiveSync for push email, calendar and contact synchronization. 
The Z750a has an external display, but you only see it when your phone is in use. | AT&T Service
Compatible with AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network, which is available in most major metropolitan areas, this phone offers tri-band HSDPA/UMTS connectivity (850/1900/2100 MHz). You'll get average download speeds of around 1.5 megabits per second (Mbps) and speed bursts up to 3.6 Mbps, as well as simultaneous voice and data services. Multi-task while you are on a call--search for movies times, look up directions, or send messages. You'll also get more done with faster access to email, and enjoy speedy Internet connectivity with richer graphics and easy-to-use personalization options. In areas where 3G network access is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including high-speed color Internet access and email on the go. You'll also enjoy quad-band GSM connectivity, which allows you to make calls in more than 190 countries and access data applications in the more than 135 countries where AT&T offers international data roaming. With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Cellular Video (CV) service and the Internet while on the go. Cellular Video features content from CNN, The Weather Channel, iFilm, Comedy Central and exclusive premium content from HBO and much more. It also features AT&T Mobile Music, which provides access to Napster and eMusic subscription services as well as Music ID song-recognition software, music videos and The Buzz music news portal. The handset is XM Radio Mobile-capable, so you can enjoy streaming live digital radio as well. (An AT&T MEdia Max subscription bundle is recommended for accessing AT&T's Internet, video, and music services.)
The Z750a 3G phone is compatible with AT&T Music, Cellular Video, and XM Radio services. | Phone Features
The Z750a has an internal 2.2-inch LCD that provides 262K colors for excellent depth and a 240 x 320-pixel resolution. The external monochrome OLED display has a resolution of 36 x 128 pixels, and it displays current time as well as battery level. It also offers four-way toggle navigation surrounded by a backlit ring, a backlit numeric keypad with tactile feedback, two soft keys, and a Web browser shortcut key. The phone has a slot on the left spine for using Memory Stick Micro (M2) media and a dedicated music player button on the right side. This phone can store up to 1000 contact entries, each with fields for five phone numbers as well as the ability to save callers to groups and pair contacts with a ringtone. While this isn't one of Sony Ericsson's Walkman digital audio player-equipped phones, the Z750a does offer multiformat music playback that includes MP3, WMA (unprotected), and AAC, as well as such features as shuffle and loop modes, stereo widening, and an equalizer. Additionally, you'll be able to purchase and download real-music ringtones (72-chord polyphonic) in a variety of formats (MP3, MP4, AAC, AAC+, eAAc+, WMA, WAV). You also get a built-in FM radio with RDS, which displays the name of the currently playing song (when tuned to compatible radio stations). With the TrackID service, you can identify any song that you can hear by just recording a snippet of sound using the microphone. It also includes a flight mode that lets you keep listening to tunes with the phone's network connectivity turned off. This phone provides Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity with EDR (enhanced data rate), and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and audio/video remote control. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server. The built-in 2.0-megapixel camera captures stills in three resolution modes (1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, and 640 x 480 pixels), and it includes a number of options to help you create great shots, including a 2.5x digital zoom, two quality settings, three color effects, night mode, and white balance and brightness adjustments. You can also shoot video to your heart's delight (as long as you have space on your memory card), or limit it to 25 seconds for sending to friends and family via MMS. It provides support for PictBridge technology so you can print your photos without the need of a PC (either using USB or Bluetooth), and this phone makes it easy to send snapped photos directly to a blog or an online photo, complete with text. The phone also ships with a built-in email client with support for POP3 and IMAP4 protocols (with easy setup for receiving AOL, MSN and Yahoo! mobile mail), while the included Access NetFront Web Browser allows you to surf full HTML web sites. It also supports RSS feeds, allowing you to use your phone to view up-to-the-minute news and other content from selected Web sites and blogs. Just subscribe to the feed and let it come to you. Support is built in for sending and receiving text, video, graphics and sound via messaging, and you can also chat via instant messaging with built-in support for AIM, Yahoo! and MSN chat services. The Z750a is one of Sony Ericsson's first mobile phones based on Java Platform 8 (JP-8), which supports a range of new Java programming features including instant messaging/chat and presence based functionality, banking and payment transactions, user identification and authentication through secure encryption technology, mapping, and other location-aware applications. Other features include: - USB 2.0 wired connectivity with mass storage capability
- PIM functions including calendar, tasks, notes, alarm, calculator, stopwatch, and timer
- T9 text entry technology

 Different experience June 26, 2008
Albert Rybalkin (PA USA)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I got this phone about two months ago and in my area (3G, Bucks County, PA) the battery lasts for about four days and four nights with light usage. Not sure what I do differently, maybe there are some specific settings which limit battery life which I don't use? Again, I'm on 3G network 95% of the time, I attribute other 5% to dead spots where phone switches back to GSM/EDGE.
Great phone, but ATT ruined it... November 10, 2008
V. Mellott (Pennsylvania, USA)
This is a great phone. The interface is easy to use and highly functional, and very attractive as well. It is loaded with features, the media player is awesome, and the 2 mp camera takes very good pictures. I love this phone. The outside gets scratched easily, but it's not that big of a deal. A lot of people complain about battery life, and when I got this phone it was a problem. I would maybe get 1 or 2 days out of a charge--it was pathetic. This is because ATT has removed the ability to disable 3G. So, I debranded my phone using DaVinci Team. Now my battery lasts around 5 days on a charge with reasonable usage. Now that the battery life problem is fixed, this is a great phone. So if you: a) Live in an area with *excellent* 3G coverage or b) are comfortable with and willing to debrand your phone, then I would recommend this phone to you. If neither of those situations fits you, then I would not recommend this phone to you because you will not be pleased with the battery life. It really doesn't work to charge your phone every night.
 ATT has cleverly stripped away 80% of this phone's battery life May 19, 2008

Unless you live in a city that has a flawless 3G data network set up by ATT (like San Francisco) you are going to get 2 days of standby, not 16 and maybe 2 hours of talk time, not 9 as is claimed by Sony and confirmed on other internet review sites. Most of these internet tech site review guys live on the West Coast, where ATT has modernized their cell data network, so their numbers and yours may not correspond.
I live in Manhattan and even here ATT's 3G network has crappy coverage, meaning the 750 burns up a lot of power trying to reach the 3G network, which is what cuts the battery life down. If you could disable the 3G network search and stick to the ATT Edge network, you could probably triple the battery life as the Edge network uses less power and is also stronger in more ATT coverage areas. Sony has network tuning available on unbranded 750s, but the powers at ATT have disabled this feature, so you are stuck with perpetual energy expenditure used to search for the elusive 3G network. If I even used the internet much, this might be more acceptable, but I use maybe 5 minutes of internet each week and in exchange I get an 80% battery life hit.
The phone is not bad in other ways, having a pretty large screen, many excellent features, and a decent interface. However, you can't use the digital zoom on either 1 or 2 MP settings, only on VGA mode, so if you want good quality pics, you lose zoom ability, a step backwards from other recent Sony phones. The plastic case also feels flimsy, and the hinge flexes a lot when you open and close the shell, suggesting a potentially short lifespan and limited durability. Ultimately though, having to recharge every 48 hours is too much to ask of a user, and the phone's battery also dies unexpectedly and non-geometrically (i.e. start the day at 35%, lose all power three hours later without making any calls.)
Thanks ATT, for disabling the ability to turn off 3G and also for maintaining such a crappy 3G network strength even in one of America's biggest cities! Upshot: if you are an ATT user, only buy this phone if you live in San Francisco, unless recharging your phone every other day strikes you as convenient.
What? Well, ok it looks ok. July 16, 2008

I opted for this phone in the hopes that it would get even better battery life than my older sony-ericsson phone, which crapped out after 2 years of charging once a week or so. I have a phone mostly for the opportunity, not to saturate my life, so standby time is key.
I came here to complain about the bait and switch, and of course found the explanation for the z750's abominable battery life: 3G. If you haven't been paying attention for the past 5 years, 3G is the advanced data network that cellphone companies have been trying to push as the new wave, to supply you with streaming video etc to your phone. Just another premium feature some other dude should be paying for. And just to push it that much more, it seems like they've disabled the regular network access [see above].
So, this is a bad phone [at the least, on the east coast]. But another crucial feature is poorly designed: the clock/LCD on the outside. It's beneath a partially reflective film, so that it's inset, which makes it nearly impossible to read even when it's dark out.
Here's the lesson [as you'll see, you've already won half the battle]: when you need a new phone, sure, go to the store and pick out which you want. But under no circumstances should you buy it immediately. Exercise a tiny bit of post-picking effort and look at reviews AFTER choosing [instead of before, when the sheer number can swamp you, as it did me. My first choice wasn't available in store].
Poor Battery Life June 6, 2008
T. Radcliffe (LA, CA USA)

I live in LA and we got this phone after reading reviews on other websites. They all mentioned the long battery life that the phone is supposed to have, it doesn't. I only use the phone a few minutes a day and I have to charge every other day. My wife uses it about 30 minutes a day and has to charge every night. We are planning on returning the phones.
Other than the battery life, it's not a bad phone. The only other problem is the outside display can only display like 5 characters. Any longer name it scrolls it across the front so that you can't read who is actually calling.
