Finally, 3G: AT&T picking up Sony Ericsson Z750a, K850a?

by Chris Ziegler posted Oct 12th 2007 at 5:54PM

It looks like Sony Ericsson may be taking a slightly more high-road approach to its first 3G handsets for North America than Nokia did with the N95, pairing up with AT&T all official-like for the Z750a and K850a. This inventory sheet, apparently off of an AT&T system, indicates as much -- and yes, we realize it's totally Photoshoppable, but the Z750 and K850 both seem like obvious additions for the carrier, don't they? Sony Ericsson could try to sell the phones directly through SonyStyle as it does with other models, but you figure that if they're going to put the effort into finally adding North American 3G, they're going to try to go big by launching it in AT&T stores. With a 5 megapixel camera on the K850, who's complaining?

K850a? I didn't know SE made an 'A' version of the K850. Its not even on their US website. I have the K850i and it seems to pick up a pretty strong 3G signal around where I live though. Hopefully, there will be a firmware upgrade before it is released in the US to stop people from complaining.

Hi.
I wonder if I K850i works with att's 3G network. Does it work for you ? Did you use their fast internet ?
I'm going to send images to an email address and it should work really fast with their 3G, but the question if the SE K850i will exploit it.
Thank you.

Yes, the K850i does pick up AT&T's 3G network where available. I don't use it unless I really really have to.
