        Can anyone help? I want to disassemble my K550i so that i can clean all the dust off the inside of the screen. Can somebody point me in the direction of a website that gives full instructions on how to dismantle it? I have a T6 screwdriver.
        Thanks in advance.

            the max m2 supported by k550 is unclear.
            sony official site state 2gb
            look here: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/specifications/k550i?cc=us&lc=en
            while sony developer site state 1gb
            look here: http://developer.sonyericsson.com/site/global/products/phonegallery/k550/p_k550.jsp

            i've heard there's a site that stated it can recognize up to 4gb if u format to fat32. never confirm this though.

                      i dont know any IR remote profiler. For BT just go to myphonexplorer official site http://www.fjsoft.at
                      and download k700 remote profile there. Try to make a game or powerdvd controller. Its fun :)

                                  no problem bro.
                                  We're sorry too. Most of us here still get emotional if sum1 compare k550 in irregular ways.
                                  Fyi the processor used in k550 is different than other s e 2mp cam phon. The raw result 1632x1224px (other r 1600x1200) which proves it.
                                  Btw there r pre install app calld photomate on k550. Its handy 4 taking pix. Just download its additional content.

                                      A li'l knowledge bout cam.
                                      Grainy pic is caused by high iso. Usually over 400. Good pic usually have iso at 200 and below. U can check dis via windows on pix metadata.
                                      However, most slim cam phone cant manually set iso. So at limited lighting ambience, iso may boost up near 1000 which made the pix unusable. To have a good pix of nightscene with low iso can only b achieved via tripod which is exclusive 4 digicam or bulk cam phone. And since there no way 2 mount slim cam phone 2 a tripod, manual iso setting is a waste. So in slim cam phone, visibility and focus came first than clear picture. This apply not only to k550 but also to many slim cam phon out there.
                                      So pls understand this very basic rule and never compare a slim cam phon to a a bulkier digicam.

                                        dude! why dnt u flash it to a w610, there are updated cam and acoustic drivers aswell.
                                        tho u cant really expect that much frm it as its round bout the same price as a k750!oh yes with the w610 firmware u can load flash menus! which is really really cool.

                                        u can check out this guys site(loads of tutorials) google this: "akshay k550"
