Hi,
I've just bought a K750i mobile phone - which I think is fantastic.
But reading the reviews on Amazon, I note that many people have suffered
problems with the joystick.
Given the use it gets this is hardly surprising. Are people still having
problems?
Or has this problem been sorted with current production?
Cheers
Rab

Re: K750i Joystick failure rate
Never had a problem with it failing. It's a haven for dust, but a cocktail
stick sorts that out.

Re: K750i Joystick failure rate
I've had that problem with it but sent it back to SE and had it back to
me working again within 3 days (under warranty)

Re: K750i Joystick failure rate
Hey Guys,
Mine was almost completely nonresponsive. I have taken the phone apart,
dropped a little wd40 into the joystick and moved it about for a while, then
blown out with compressed air. Completely fixed it. Same goes for the
camera button which ceased to work for me. It's been like new for weeks
now. Took 1/2 hour.

Re: K750i Joystick failure rate
I have a k800i and my joystick is starting to have the same problem!..
I've only had it for 3 weeks.

Please don't tell me that ... I've just bought an 800 :-(
The joystick does appear to be a weak point. Still Carphone Warehouse
(UK) are fixing the 750, which I'm going to keep as a spare.
