    flight mode switches off all radio sections within a mobile fone so it can be used on an aeroplane,, hospital etc where the radio interference may affect radar,,sensitive equipment etc,,This is not always allowed on planes anyway ,,it switches off fone aerial so no calls can be made and also switches off bluetooth,,infra red and wi-fi..

            This phone is a good bet in its range the phone supports many softwares like the face warp e.t.c.
            The speaker quality is amazing,and packed with a 2mp camera this makes the phone the best in its class

              Is the music player sounds great? Which cam is better: K550 or W810? Is the stereo headset rocks? Thx

                  i posted this before, but for the sake of those who wanted to see it's sample shots here is the link;

                  IMHO; macro shots are always better on SE, no doubt about it.

                    according to this site,,which is one of my reference sites,,,thek550 has stero bluetooth a2dp and has an mpeg player which is good because some are just 3gp players..

                      to tony when i pull the flap down to activate the camera and need the flash i just press the star button and flash is on,press again and flash goes off is that wat you mean ?? if it is then the k550i does that.ALso i cant find image stabiliser but anyway this fone is pretty fast at doing things but its still up to any person buying something whether its suitable for them,,ive come from nokia n80 ,,n73 s/e p990i to this but the spec is very good for a non smartfone even running multiple apps is allowed with a running apps managr..Video is always the very poor qcif 15 frames per secong but would use my samsung d900 for that..

                        this is in may 2007 carfon warehouse mag it says free 512mb memory stick micro plus exclusive spiderman 3 content its £99.95 on o2 with £10 top up and has been reduced from £129.99 with topup and exclusive stuff is available to k800 and k550 fones on selected tariffs and pay as you go.If you buy it with cash then £20 top up is required due to risk of fraud...
                        MY god i wished you had never asked,,joking,, reading all this smallprint i dont know whether i am entitled to the free content or memory card or wat...It was on a sandwich board outside carfone with a photo of this on o2 with spiderman content with 512 mb memory card worth£29.99 free and if you do decide to get this chat with the person you are with about you are going to use it with vodafone

                                    it was only available in black on o2 but not vodafone but i am using it with my vodafone contract sim card and its working but you will need some settings for internet as their not in settings,just o2 ,,virgin,,t-mobile and not their because they stooped selling vodafone for a while but thats another story..I got this because their latest w880 was £279 and this is better because of the auto focus which is needed for me now as standard cams cannot really do close ups,, the w880 has no autofocus youre just paying for its brand new and thin but this thin....Im using my w900 earbuds and getting massive bass extension using equalizer but NOT on presetS BUT altering it to my taste,,I also have k800 but needed a smaller fone that had good mp3 player plus good autofocus cam and good battery and this has lot for £100 but if you go to argos it £169.99 for same model ...You will find the screen quite brite a its using a different technology plus all the earlier comments on camera are a bit of untruth because people have read the review out come the complaints but their fine to me,just a nice clear snap,,and i bet they just sit their nitpicking and never even print them out.I cant say if its good for your needs and screen is lower resolution and bright but not as bright as the light (torch) which i used last nite to go to co-op with,,a great fone but wat im going to do is replace the faceplate when they come out on market to blue or red if possible

                                      I got this phone 2 months ago.First SE phone since using Nokia for a very long time. Good phone,sleek design,camera quality avg.Only problem is that the battery life is low.
                                      Its bit difficult getting used after Nokia,cos u dont get small functions like in Nokia.i.e:no birthday reminder func.
                                      Overall-great phone, would give 7.5/10.
