A very cool phone, I loved having it. good sound quality, a massive 75 mb of phone memory with additional memory stick support. battery performance is not yet the plus point. good for home use...

Hate the blue light on the keys? Well, u better go to a technician to change the bulbs. This fone is so great, coz now i can surf the internet even without the wifi signal for my laptop. Anytime anywhere! Php10 credit is all it takes to get 115.2kbps data rate from SMART Internet to gain 30min access to the world wide web. Just hope the price will go down a lil more later on. Good thing it isnt a joystick fone! Joystick sucks. Breaks down easily.

Cant play WMA format on this fone, but if your just tryin to save and gain more space for ur music files, you can just convert ur mp3's from 128kbps to 64kbps bitrate to reduce the file size. Don't worry much coz there's just a very slight difference in the sound quality. I'm using the Creative Media Source software to do the trick. Don't know bout the others, but for me, 64kbps bitrate for mp3 is fair enough to be played on this fone in terms of sound clarity.

I've used the 750i for about a year and I will definately say: the joystick is dead.
Get this and avoid ANY Sony Ericsson phone with a joystick.
Everything else about SE is great. Simple, clean and user-friendly. Thank goodness the majority/all of the phones no longer have joystick.
Hope that helps.

Can anyone pls gimme a comparo b/w the SE k750i and the SE k550i. Is the k750 joystick really bad?? Software comparo?
Theres a considerable price diff. b/w the two..k750i obviously being the cheaper(the k550i is for INR 9500 while the k750i for INR 9200)…but its like two years older....i've heard and read loadzz about the picture quality of the k750i..how do these compare to those of the 550i(especially in lower light)???? Anyone out there who has used both the phones???? How about the joystick??? is it really that bad??? and the software??? My foremost need is picture quality, reliability, good battery life and a good keypad for messaging......... please sumone help.....CONFUSED.....They have a pretty similar functionality by what i can make out…but then the K550i supposedly has a very nice software??? i wouldnt ever be browsing the net on the phone or a lot of gaming ( some but not much)...camera...music...basic reliable telephony...lots of messaging....good strong battery backup and probably a few entertainment gimmicks or games and thats it for me...and are there enough accessories available for it like a silicon cover, games, themes, softwares etc..........WHICH ONE TO GO FOR?????????????? …… CONFUSED …..HELP PLZZZZZZZ>>>>>>

this phone is the one I use. I had the samsung E900,wich was horrible to my opinion. the Nokia 6233 was a bit to big to fit my pocket,so i finally got this phone. seriously,there's NOTHING wrong with this phone. can hold up to 4 GB mem card,nice camera and bluetooth is very fast. nice budget phone wich costs just 270 euro's. I must say this is cheap because the K810i is 130 euro's more expensive voor just1.2 MP extra? don't know what people are wining about,100 pounds or 230 dollars is pretty cheap for this phone. make it cheaper and you get bad quality,for bad quality I would rather buy LG SHINE or LG CHOCOLATE.

this phone is only stylish with the lense cover, seriously, all 2mp pictures are pretty much the same.. its the screen that matters.. like motorola and samsung. user friendly wise, All SE phones really are... waiting for sony to engineer light effect options like SEs500i on more phones and photo phonebook menu... with loud ringtones of course..

Such A Shame Its Not Cheaper... would they not do better marketing it at around £80 instead of £100? Or is the K530 going to be the cheaper version?... This Phone is definately worth that price tag but with other S.E's like the W800 and the V630 costing around £80 then surely they'd match those price tags.

i just bought my k550i last friday 13th july, 2 days after that, when i want to make a call, there is no dialtone, but when i press speaker phone and use the headset i can hear it. then after few minutes there's a warning says : serious error, donot charge your phone and turn it off, go to SE retailer. so then after that i went to the shop where i bought the phone, and until now my phone is not fixed, i want to change with new one but the have lots of reason not to...it's very annoying..i juz bought the phone, after that serious error then no change for new one...i'm pissed off.

someone below asked about the white color of the k550i. well, i have the white model and is just great looking, much better then the black one (my opinion). anyway, the opinion is subjective so perhaps someone else would like much more the black one.
only one big issue: i am very annoyed of the blue led color from the keypad, the phone looks so stylish with his keyboard but when i press a keypad it turns blue and all the magic dissapear. DOES ANYONE KNOWS HOW CAN I CHANGE THIS LIGHT INTO A WHITE ONE? maybe someone has a tutorial cause i searched the whole web and i found nothing. thanks

Amazing, really! I just wanted something good for pictures and cheap at the same time, i got more! Not only is it good for taking pictures but also for playing mp3, videos etc. The user interface couldn't get any better. The cam extra features are great. People are saying the pictures are not so great compared to this and that. But i took some great pics during the day with max quality/res on. and they ARE great, trust me! The light(not flash light) helps at night, but it doesn't do miracles! the simple music software player is enough for what i need to listen to them. Plus it runs great games, has multi-threading and stuff. it gets a 10 out of 10 from me!

I want to buy this phone, i have seen photos of K550 in GSMArena website and whoite color looks cool as compared to black, but i have not seen white color phone in real. In real i have seen black color, and it also looks very attractive.
i have doubt that whether white color will also look attractibve in real, there was no white color avaiable in amrket but shopkeepr sais that he can arrange one white color phone on some advance payment.
i just want to confirm that if anyone have seen or used both color phones then which one i better color scheme.
pls guide me
