This company leader is more then an interesting offer by Sony Ericsson, but also the strongest model in this class on the market. At least for half a year this model will dominate on the market, other manufacturers will have to attain to its level, determine their price policy from the fact of the Sony Ericsson K750i's existence. Samsung D600 and Nokia 6230i are the main rivals, or more precisely, the models compared with the K750 even today. As for Samsung's product, the functionality is comparable, but the point is another form-factor. In general, they may be put on the same level, since the models are much alike, though Samsung looses in camera possibilities. Nokia 6230i belongs to a lower class with a worse screen, camera and mp3 player. In general the device is evidently intended for another market segment, and only EDGE may be mentioned of possible advantages. The delay of Nokia 6230i's launch won't allow the model to prevail over the Sony Ericsson solution; they should be expected on the market at the same time.
Small body size, a complete set of entertainment possibilities (radio, mp3, 3D Java) and good interface should be mentioned as the K750i's strengths. The model will certainly become a bestseller like Sony Ericsson's T610. Other manufacturers won't manage to integrate a functionally similar camera into a small device in a comparable time period. Nokia propagates using smartphone base for camera implementation, and that prevents them from creating a device of the Sony Ericsson K750i's level today. Nokia's copy of the device may be launched in the end of the year, but it will provide the same functionality for a higher price. In general there is no phone alternative to the Sony Ericsson K750i in a class of functional compact devices today. The model is of maximum saturated functionally; only smartphones may compete with it. Reasoning form the different form-factors of these devices, we can't speak about a straight competitor. Every user can choose a phone to their liking and, above all, to their hand. But similar cameras will remain a rarity even in smartphones till the end of the year.
The appearance of the model is expected at the end of May; primary saturation will come only in the middle of August, and the price will fall then. The first price may form about 500 Euro reasoning from the absence of rivals and high interest to the new device. The price reserve is the maximum today, if the company wanted to, it could offer the device for only 290 Euro in retail networks, but there is no necessity. The price correction is also caused by the appearance of a musical version of the K750 under the brand of Walkman called the W800 in September. The differences concern design, integration (the W800 has a 512 MB card in a kit, software for fast writing of CDs to a card), and the possibility to work with a radio block off (mp3 player mode). The price of W800 will form about 650-700 Euro for the launch moment. This is a good offer for a certain user group, and the device is not positioned for the masses. At the same time, the K750 has the maximum life circle and will be interesting for a long time (at least for 2 years).
