      Im looking for a memory card for my k550...i know i need an M2 but thats really all i know...i found one on Amazon.com...a 2 GB Micro M2 Memory Card made by Sandisk...will this work? Also, will a 2GB card slow down my phone?

        @ neha

        w700i is a walkman oriented phone and so it doesn't have autofocus feature, where as k550i has auto focus. So k550i pics are good when compared 2 w700i.

          Can i use bluetooth headset to listen to music/fm.mp3. I guess its used only for call and answering calls. Nokia supports it.

            @diesel

            How can u say such comments about this phone which for me is much better than k750i.
            Please b careful when posting comments......

            b honest with them .....

            The SPEED of k550i is far far better than 750i which performs at snail's pace when compared to k550i. Also the pics taken under proper lightning conditions match the clarity of 750i. Please check these pics

            http://www.esato.com/phonephotos/index.php?uid=116862

            Also mind u if u take photos using the 750i flash light there is a yellow tint in the photos where as the 550i pics are more natural in color .....

            http://www.esato.com/phonephotos/viewphotos.php?pid=5615

            Also the music player and video player is much better than 750i , the only miss is the MEGA BASS feature which k550i does'nt have. But if u use a walkman headset then the sound is pretty much equal 2 the walkman clarity.

            Then the most important and cool feature is the proccessing speed of this phone.....

            It performs well and supports upto 2GB micro cards. But 750i works very very SLOWELY if u use 2GB cards ......

            So please b careful in ur comments....

            regards

              Oh, one more thing, i have the white version, and its nothing like the white in the picture. its more of a pearl-ish colour, not the arctic white they have pictured. The pictures look nicer :(

                I bought this phone in March/07 and have not had any major problems with it at all. The camera works great in the daytime, and its not bad in the night, as long as the object is not too far away. The same goes for video mode, with one exception - when switching to video, it takes about 5-7 seconds to start recording, which may make you miss what you wanted to record. Other than that, the lens cover is great, its flush mounted and acts as an active switch to turn on the camera. The only problem i have with the phone is the keypad: the number keys are chrome-plated plastic. After the first month of texting, the chrome was already peeling off (i text quite a bit, about 1500 a month). As of right now, my 1,3,5,6,8 and # keys are worn out, as well as the select key within the directional pad. I find the menu straight forward, and the sound is as good as can be from a cell phone speaker. All in all, a great phone, no regrets at all.

                      I am going to buy this phone. I think its the best phone in medium class mobiles. Small, stylish and user friendly.

                        It has night mode and everything. But it doesn’t have xenon flash like K790i, so it will give just little low quality photos in night mode comparing with K790i. But it has good flash light to help us to take photos in night time. In day time no differ u can find in taking photos(very good). About music, Head phone is matter, after I buying k550i, I use W200i(walkman)s Ear phone. The effect is about W810i. Ear phone is the matter for good quality music. so k550i is best budget mobile. But key is too small, so it is difficult to operate without Cell Cover… i use this mobile since april 07.. Still it is better than Nokia 6300 in all things..

                                Hi Rohit!
                                1. Music/ sound quality: Thsi is not a music phone, so definitely sound quality is inferior to walkman model phones, but its not bad at all. With headphones, its rather super. With the speaker, the clarity is very good upto volume level 7, but slightly less at full volume(level 8). But volume loudness is very good... at par or mabe better than k510i.
                                2. Display size: Its 1.9 inches, and I think is bigger than that of k510i... but its just fine... brightness, clarity and color resolution is also quite gud, eventho its TFD

                                        I have been using this mobile for just 2 weeks and i have the same problem with the sound like LesT reported. When answering the phone or when calling someone, there is no sound. On speaker phone it works fine. It only works when i press the area from were the sound is supposed to come out. I think this is a hardware problem.
