      By wathing only photo and reading something, u people r saying k550 is bad and 6233 is better? I had 6233 for 2 month and now this,I know actually, how both phones r.
      k550 is best......
      I know screen resolution of 6233 is larger but see actually not much diffrence is notice ,k550 screen is as good as 6233.

        @sameer ,u r saying ,"6233 consumes more memory because it got superior display and large screen", you know nothing ,there r photo compression techniqes,nokia not good in that ,thats why photo size increases,doesnt mean that superior quality, compare 6233 1.5mb photo and k550 0.5mb photo. k550 alwys better,
        screen size? 6233 screen 30mm*40mm, k550 screen 31mm*39mm, large screen????? both r nearly same, 6233 has larger pixels,but see actually,both screen quality r nearly same,
        Do u know what is auto focus? It is not present in 6233, flash ? not present in 6233? cant do anything in night.......6233 takes very large time to capture photo ,look like it is hanged,....!
        fast moving objects ,6233 can not take clear photo(it will take photo when object is gone from photo)because no sports mode........
        no lens cover to protect ,u will see scraches,fingure prints in ur photo,
        There r seven camera modes in k550 according to condition,low light ,very dark light etc, in 6233 only one night mode.....
        There is also few more in k550 ,Panorama mode,u can take nearly 180 degree photo,6233 can not .........one more Metering mode in k550, not in 6233....
        K550 is Cyber shot camera phone, 6233 is cheap series 40 camera phone................
        Only better thing in 6233 is VGA recording.......
        I agree 6233 speaker sound is large than any mobile phone ,even w550 walkman,......but tell me what is its use? in noisy places? k550 speaker is sufficient,I never feel any problem ?
        sound quality? both phone has equal sound quality,but I have installed w610 firmware in my k550, thats why I have walkman player in my k550,with Megabass,just turn on it,now my sound quality becomes better than any non walkman mobile, adjust equilliser of 6233 any how,u cant get that .................
        about software, 6233 series 40, very very slow ,can not multitask ,6233 hangs many times (that is why I sell my 6233 and buy this k550), no mass storage,drivers must required................k550 has mass storage
        Video player, 6233 can not forward video,can not adjust video size as we want, k550 has very nice video player ,with fast forward,video size adjust is present like auto adjust,full screen ,and best thing is u can zoom video while watching like photo zoom which is good to avoid black strips in wide screen video, While watching photos 6233 can zoom only 2 steps (typical series 40 poor zoom style),k550 can zoom picture smoothly upto 32x zoom,very easy to use ...
        k550 is slim ,light weight and 6233 is ugly ,fat ,heavy,
        6233 has only 6mb internal memory(alwys crying 'not enough memory'),k550 has 74mb internal memory , as u increase memory card size 6233 becomes slow slow and slow,k550 does not slow

        ok .........now tell me WHY 6233 IS BETTER THAN K550?

          @kunal, youn can go on and on and on. but the fact of the matter, 6233 is superior to it, look at your k550 forum, everybody is feeling sorry that he buyed k550 and look at our forum noone is compalaining, everyone says it rock. 6233 consumes more memory because it got suoerior display and large screen. and lol, you are questioning 6233 speakers, you must be drinking something. this phone has crappy video,horrible keypads,

            This cell is great. As usual SE did a good job. Personally I think this the best successor for unreplacable SE T630. The only con I have noticed is that dust gets really quick under screen's protective glass (after two months of usage). I have not seen any other complains about dust on the screen, so I assume, that this is my model defect.

                loudness of k55o can be in creased by changing sound drivers, or it is depended on ringtone file,I did one thing ,increase amplitude of ringtone by using software sony sound forge,it rings very loud

                      an amzing mid range s/e phone. great camera, good for music and a great built in fm radion. as with the majority of s/e phones the batter life is amazing and I bought it for only £59.99 at my local o2 store

                        6233 also got 3G and great battery life. the loudest speaker in industry. this phone was also in my consideration,but after reading reviews i go for nokia 6233 ,the best NONONSENSE mobile.

                          go for NOKIA 6233 because it got all the functions. great body,keypads,display. got great VGA video recording at 15fps and also best double speakers in mobile industry, superior even to N95,N73,5700 etc. and guess its cheaper than K550. visit 6233 forum and you will know it.

                            I bought this set with many expectations after studying the features on this sight. But I disappointed to hear its low sound. very poor sound. Picture quality and features are not upto standard. No needed software can can be installed in applications. Battery is not good. Consequently I have decided to dispose it and buy another one. Can somebody guide me how to boost its sound??

                                  this phone is sick...the buttons take some time getting use to, but overall this phone has everything you could want for the price.

                                      I am looking to buy a new cell phone and I really like this model, but I want to know whether I can put this phone as a ring tone songs complete, because the W810 to be used that was not possible.
                                      Someone can help answering this question?
                                      Regards,

                                        I am planning to buy this phone. But the reviews say that its camera and battery life is not that good. Can someone email (ajishashraf@gmail.com) me some pics taken in this mob k550. Also please let me know about the battery backup for a 3 hours call usage per day.
