 Great phone if you could trun 3G off when not needed September 4, 2008
Wonderful phone but on the ATT version they disabled the menu feature to disable the 3G when you don't need it. Apple allows it on the Iphone, It just kills the battery life from 9 to 3.5 hours.
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 30, 2008

Like others who have critiqued this phone, I am extremely disapointed in the battery life of this phone. On standby you get 3 days at most with absolutely no use at all, quite a bit different from the "up to" 16.6 days standby that was advertised. In fact this was the main reason I opted for the phone. It appears it may be ATT's fault fron the response I have received from Sony/Ericsson, They state that with some networks you cannot turn off the HSDPA function for which it is always searching for. This is the H you will see in the display. I returned the phone during the 30 day warranty period thinking it was defective and got the same results with the replacement. In retrospect I would not have purchased a phone in which I do not need all the bells and whistles this offers, but wears itself out trying to get to. I can't imagine how long the battery life is with heavy use. The phone otherwise works well.

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.

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.
