When in powersave mode, K550i screen goes totally black, clock is not visible (it's there but almost impossible to see). Is this only on my phone?

I knew what is popular of Sony Ericcson......All phones are "High-tech Brick".You can use the "Brick" to call people,take photos,listen to the music,watch video clips,play games............and also SHOW OFF!

the camera is a beta version and look good already, in its final version it will be similar to the k750i because praises itself of their cyber shot

I suggest that SE produces different progress and keypad.

Although Sony Ericcson is popular on Cyber-Shot and Walkman,but I prefer Nokia phone.Nokia models' function is quite a lot of different than the other.Like the 6233 and N70.But SE,about 98% of models is same fuction and progress.

Is it mean that the cyber-shot of K550 is lousy?

to those blind nokia fanatics(for sure)
well K750 is old now, and K550 has similar design and camera but anyways lets find it N93's poor sensor, N76 and other 2mp cameras from nokia would beat camera of K550. and look at the performance of the menu and see who's gonna be better in multitasking audio, camera and texting at once.
and please look at the name: K550, successor of the famous K510, so don't expect something to be better.
SE will make a big leap for sure at the 3GSM, as expected for the rapidly growing market of SE.

im sorry but ur post doesnt make any sense... im not comparing n95 with k550.. im just complaining about nothin new in k550 (same old specs with some minor differences, and a new look) this is actually k750 which is 2 years old now..
whats da point of releasin a phone 2 years later which offers nothin new from its existing brother..
lets hope k800 successor (sofia) will come with a complete package..

Can you just understand that this phone is intended for a different market than the N95. This phone is going to be less than half the price of the N95!
This is a great phone for where it's positioned.

@marco: it doesn't make sense to have worse photo quality than the old k750. and w880/w850 are not even advertised to have a great camera.
@ken19: I highly doubt that the price would be that of k750. I believe it will be higher than the price of a k610. k750 is too old.

Sony Ericsson might have made the wrong decisions with there new mobiles buttons poeple want easy to ue button s on there mobiles but having seen an read the reviews about these new mobiles these buttons are not easy to use an why have Ericsson decided to use these type, o.k they might look modern but if its not easy to text using them alot of people will not be buying there new mobiles i am sure

SE's answer to V3xx,N76 and 6300
the quality wont be as good as the k750 because it's in beta version still. don't expect better/worse results if the firmware is yet unfinalized. i'll wait if the pricing will be right and as same as the current price of the K750 at this moment which is $190 then i'll gonna choose it over the 6233.
design is slim, sleek and better than any other AF phones
edge doens't bother me if it is present or not bec. we have no edge but 3G signals=D
camera quality, even with the beta firmware is still better than the LG platinum. the 2 LED flash beats every photocameras with photolights of all brands.
and the best of all, if the price is right, then it will be a topseller as the K750 does=D
good luck SE.

Dear reviewer. I suggest you take a look at the W850i/W880i camera pictures before comparing the K550i pictures with the W850i/W880i pics. The K550i takes MUCH better pictures.
