            You can assign a shortcut for games and application menu. Assign games from entertainment menu, and apps from organizer menu.

            Caution:
            I've a j2me app called textpad downloadd from getjar. It wont run and only make your k550 very heavy. And u must restart your phone.
            Dont try to install doja (docomo java) in original k550. They wont run and may damage your games and apps folder structure.

              @bernz06
              try this method. In camera mode open settings and select to save on memory stick. I was done this in the 1st day i buy m2, and even all files downloadd via net or bt are saved in m2 afterward. I dont know if this applies to all k550 but better try it.
              For internet download it will take u r internal mem for temporary storage. Storing in m2 is done when the file is fully downloaded. Cant be adjustd.

                  if u get a comment that ur mem is full (but in fact its not) try to shutdown, move the batt 4 several mins then start it again.

                  If u keep get that comment it might b u have installd game that incompatible with sony ericsson java platform. Try to delete it and restart again. If this attempt faild I'm afraid u will net to format ur memory card.

                        tips:
                        pressing the original shutter halfway let u autofocus, pressing it more let you shot.
                        however, you can press the select button on the center of dpad. it will autofocusing and taking pix directly after it. so you can focus on tilting the camera.

                        pressing up and down button (it become left and right in landscape mode) let u adjust exposure.
                        beware of noisy image.

                        pressing 3 and 5 let you zoom. easier instead of pressing volume button. button 4 let you change focus on autofocus, maccrofocus and infinite focus.

                        when to use focus:
                        auto = self explanatory
                        macro = object and camera are approx. 10-20cm distance
                        infinite = background and foreground in focus.

                          K550 speaker is best in quality, not loud but sounds better than Nokia

                            Sony has xenon flash as additional accessories. I forgot its type. Dunno if it's can b use with k550. I would like to know the answer too.

                            @J-DAWG
                            It's not a walkman series so definitely you will miss megabass. But you can flash it with w610 firmware. For the loudspeaker, i would say nokia 6300 rulez.

                                  Change my name to a new one.
                                  Another benefit with phone cover. there is increasing ban on taking pix. Thus why m600 dont have cam e51 no cam etc.
                                  As most phon must be landscape on taking pix, this gesture is more n more associatd with taking pix pose. Which is bcom disadvantage when u use landscape capable app such as operamini.
                                  K550 can get u a gr8 advant since its cam can b close with its cover.
                                  Making u get avoided from humiliation of being accused by shop owners :)

                                  more real evryday use benefits yet to come..

                                  Have fun with k550

                                      for IM
                                      get morange http://www.morange.com
                                      or nimbuzz http://www.nimbuzz.com
                                      both need to register though, but u can do it via k550i.

                                      for e-mail,
                                      Morange can do for you, but i would recommend k550i original e-mail messaging. it's under messaging menu.
                                      just set up your account first (and you must activate your pop3 server first from your mail provider)

                                      for weather etc. you may download AccuWeather.
                                      but i prefer yahoo! Go http://go.yahoo.com

                                      Original browser quite reliable now.
                                      but Opera mini is better http://www.operamini.com
                                      Morange can do also.

                                      for file browsing
                                      minicommander is free and can view jpg and png up to about 1.3mp (capable to zoom at 100%). very quick scrolling

                                      for maps... Googling is better :)
                                      subway maps can be obtaind from wikitravel.org

                                        thanx 4 d info bro. i hope he stops now. I think the server already considered our fight as brutal and deleted many offense posts. no pain no gain...

                                        i just cant stand sum1 so proud of his device (while no technology is static) and bully other.
                                        btw i ve used pseudo names b4 it may causes confusions. the truth it is my cousin that sell k618i and change to T250i, not my sis or whoever. about my friend having besta is also truth. I was bet with her i can find a device comparably good than besta at lower price than $200.
                                        My family got this handsets, nokia 6233, nokia e61, K550i, K510i, and a nokia 2865. while my cousin have t250 (selling her k618i), a k530i (yep one of my cousin do), a nokia 6300, and nokia n95 8gb. So i can have access to those many handsets and try different things. But k530i and k618i is not among those i ve tried.

                                        you can simply select the ringtone file. mp3 or wma or whatever u want, then select more->use as->contact ringtone->assign to a contact. U can also assign a video contact.

                                        and it would be faster if you assign it to shortcut menu.

                                        TIPS:
                                        you can start your Yahoo messenger by accessing "My friend" mode under messaging menu.
                                        Just register first at www.yamingo.com
                                        read this article first tho.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMPS
                                        btw i dont recommend instant messanging using "My Friend" mode. it's better to use Morange or Nimbuzz.
