                            K550i can b use up to 3-4 days per charging under normal use.
                            I just warn u not to believe official specification which state these:
                            S500 is 370h standby and 9h talktime. K550i is 350h and 7h talktime. 6300 is 336h and 3.5h talktime. 6120 is 250h and 3h talktime.
                            But in fact nobody can reach that time except the RnD Dept of each company.

                              i have just had another thought, my service provider also has the sony ericsson s500.i quite like that but wonder if its a little girly for me.i like the 6120 but its a smart phone and the layout is completly different and doesnt look very user friendly.

                              out of the 6120,6300,k550 and s500,which has better battery life coz thats the main thing im looking for.

                                m2 card has FAT file system not FAT32
                                so format with only FAT system ,not FAT32

                                    Is there anyway by which I can save my video automatically in the videos section? Because whenever i make a video it gets stored in the Camera Album section.

                                        Truely excellent mobile phone! I have one since Jan'08 and man it beat's the Nokia 6300 by miles in every area except the display, Nokia has 2 million vs 256K colors of Sony Ericsson K550i.

                                        Other +ve features :

                                        1) The best 2MP camera with Autofocus currently available in the markret.
                                        2) Good music player,descent sound, FM radio with RDS.
                                        3) Lightning fast response time.
                                        4) The best battery in its categoery(Li-Poly,950mAh) - 24hrs of non stop music at full volume in a full battery charge phew!!
                                        5) The OS(software) is built on Java platform, so limitless compatibility.
                                        6) Small, thin and light, i sometimes forget its in my pocket.

                                        Deep technical details :

                                        1) SE K550i has (Thin Flim Diode)TFD screen instead of TFT. TFD consumes less power than TFT so better battery life.
                                        2) It uses Sony's patented M2 memory card rather than miniSD cards. Both are of nearly same size but M2 cards have much higher data transfer speed so the phone has faster response to user input.
                                        3) It uses Lithium Polymer ion battery rather than Lithium ion, Li-Poly is a superior technology(better safety, thinner) and will ultimately replace Lithium ion in near future.

                                        Verdict: Steal this mobile(SE K550i) if you can(pun intended), but those looking for similar features at an even tighter budget look for Samsung J210 as it has all the features of this phone but pricewise comes 20% cheaper.
