@ ROHIT ::::
Well here is the correct mix formula that I am using ......
K550i + walkman headset + 1 GB m2 (sandisk) = Walkman (minus mega bass)
costs = 8350(K550i) + 700(orginal headsets HPM-70) + 1200(SANDISK M2 CARD ) =~ 10250/-
Also
K550I has a seperate video player !!!!!
K550i also supports VIDEO RINGTONES !!!!
( u can use any video as ringing clip, video plays when someone calls U !!! )
Super fast processor !!!!!
Pretty good battery life (2.5 days in my case)
Huge 74MB internal memory !!!!
Plays even mp4 encoded audio files !!!!
Camera better than k750i at daytime !!!
3 focusing modes --- macro, normal, infinity
Superb bright display !!!
Plug n Play supported == no need 2 install drivers 2 connect 2 PC !!!
Stereo widening feature available in music player !!!
Ok thats it .

:::::@ ROHIT ::::::
There is no chance that w700i cam will perform better than k550i. W700i has no auto focus and k550i has auto focus . Also k550i has a TFD display which is much brighter and sharp than w700's TFT display Also the running speeds of the camera and the cell are much greater.....
Just like a Pentium 4 and a Pentium 2 computer..... k550i has a much better and speedy processor also .........
Also K550i supports upto 4GB memory ......

Hi rohit
I cant understand why u r asking this question??? The real clarity and quality of a mobile camera can be seen only if u view the pictures after viewing them on a computer scree n.
If u get good pics, then they will look great on a mobile screen as well !!!!!
Only nokia's 6300 which has 16 million colors in its display cheats us !!!! The pictures look great on mobile, but ugly on computer screen !!!!!!!
So please understand that THE PHOTO QUALITY IS ACTUALLY SEEN ONLY ON A COMPUTER SCEEEN AND NOT A MOBILE DISPLAY , WHICH IS TOO SMALL TO JUDGE !!!!!!!!
ask if u hav any other doubts .....

Hi ROHIT.
IMHO, K550i is a better buy. Its much faster than K750i. Audio is better. Screen is better. Camera is Excellent in daytime. It does have a night mode (Twilight) as Kelvin has rightly pointed out.
Good luck !!!

@ ROHIT
There is an option "TWILIGHT LANDSCAPE" and "TWILIGHT PORTRAIT" which u will find in scenes from the camera menu.
To use the shortcut key, just open the camera and press "7". Then u will get this.....
These two modes can b used as night modes as the exposure is long here ..... which is what a night mode does... so that more light can enter the camera sensor.
Ok hope u understood ......
P.S. Unless u use ur led lights , the night mode pics are pretty average with k550i. K750i does much better but gives yellow tinted photos if u use led lights.....

Anyone has any idea abt the price of microM2 memory sticks in India, 512MB or 1 GB?
Mobile store has K550i for ~8700 rupees with 128 mb, Sony stores have it for 9200 with 512 Mb. Which is the better deal/
Thanks
