the keypad has not bothered me and i really think its easier as all you can press is the slim bar whereas my d900 and other square type keys are hard to hit but you cannot go wrong with the slit type keypad,,in fact i am going to say its the easiest keypad ive had in 8-9 years
I give the k550 to my dad to get the w610i because of colour but you loose the stainless steel lens cover and cam shutter button..The w610 which is the same as k550 is all plastic and whether i made the right choice is debataable so i can give this info since ive had both,,,k550i more sturdy and cam orientated whereas w610 more plasticky but trendier and bit better walkman functions but in use you get more solidness with k550.

I've had k500i for 2 month now and got kind of bored with the design so I decided to swap the housing with w610i and at the same time also changed the firmware to w610i. so now I've got W610i and can go back to k550i as well If I want to:) the camera quality seems to be the same but more options and better music funtions, I'm quite cool to stay w610i ^_^

I owned a K550i and a K790i. I prefer the K550i over the old K750. It has the updated UI like the K790 and a price that is affordable. I was a nokia fan until I purchased those phones. SE has improved greatly.

It costs tooo much than its worth!!!!
Not much more than what k750 offered except for circular navigation instead of joystick(which was vunerable).

I am using 2 gb sandisk its the same memory card i used wen had k800,,i think people could be reading the samsung site or nokia site where issues are arising about memory,,i have d900 but some people are only getting 512mb to work were as i got a sandisk 1 gb to work but that was the samsung d900 limit and my nokia n73 only took 2gb card but would recognise 2.5gb of a 4gb card and my n80 which is supposed to take 4gb is anyones guess but in my p990 im using a 4gb with no problem and s/e might have put 1gb on their website because the 1gb micro2 memory card was all that was available then...
The micro 2 memory card will eventually go up to 32 gigabytes but what happens is they bring out say 1 gb and sell loads of them to get enuf money to shrink again to 2gb and so on if they went straight to 32 they would make no money and it just would not happen.Flash memory is were its going as its quicker at start up,,cosumes less power and does not skip went nudged violently and i think their using 32 gig flash memory in one of these new u.m.p.c. devices..some may say they have already got 32 gigs but it will be a lot bigger unit than could fit in a mobile fone,,
ive given this to my dad and getting w610 i on thursday (payday)but just cause of colour is nicer but its so new they have not got any faceplates or covers on the local markets yet !!!

To answer the various questions
1 - This is a budget phone so all you get is the phone, charger, manual and usb cable and a handsfree kit. IT DOES NOT COME WITH A MEMORY STICK.
2 - It should handle a 2GB card easily no matter who makes the card.
3 - The 'no bass' comment was probably about the loud speaker and not the headphones but who listens to music using a phones loud speaker? Do dedicated audio players come with speakers built in?
4 - As this is a Cybershot phone and not a Walkman phone it comes with an all in one headphones/mic wireless headset with in ear phones (not in ear buds) and no socket to use your own headphones.
5 - You can select any audio file as the SMS alert.
