        I have the K550 for about two months now. It's pretty good, pretty loud. Good enough if you just wanna hold it and walk around or stuff it in your jean pocket and walk. The only thing i don't like about the K550 is the fact it isn't really a cyber shot. the video on it is low quality if it's a far shot even if you make a close up. and it says high quiality as if its reminding you everything you start up the video mode.
        other then that i'm happy.

            T and S series were reborn and K series goes out of number. and there is a rumor one of the SE series will die Not P, but maybe K or Z series. will SE move to the one numbered series after they got out of number? that will be answered by SE in their next releases. the sophia. i would love to see cybershot phones from the S range because S700 were built mainly by sony instead of Ericsson.

                this phone is a good basic phone.
                music and ring tones are loud and clear.
                only 2 feedbacks:
                1. an average camera. pictures not clear in poor lighted area despite the flash light.
                2. uploaded wall paper not as clear despite being a 256K phone.

                  when the handsfree is attached, the cable faces north.

                    I am hunting for a new phone right now. I am a w550i user and i am satisfied with this phone except for its camera.

                    so i am looking for phone which has good camera but still not too big in my pocket.

                    is it realy worth to buy k550i rather than K750i? in my country the price of k550i is around 25 usd higher than k750i.

                    lets make a comparison:

                    camera: k550 wins ??
                    music: ... wins?
                    shape:
                    etc: ??

                        To all k550i users...

                        One question:
                        When we attach the handsfree cable, does the wire of the handsfree face the bottom side or the top side... I mean to ask in which direction does the wire go from, south or north?

                          I heard that the further version offers 512MB M2 included. Is it true? What applications are there in the phone? Is the music player good? User friendly? Which is better compared to walkman player or k800's? Thank you.

                              I've had this phone for five days. Here are answers to some of your questions:

                              - the camera is very good for a snapshots, even in pitch black - I took a photo with LED lights on and could see objects 5m away. At parties the photos are good, and very good in daylight. Don't fuss about megapixels - I only use 1meg anyway - don't print. Just get yourself a 2Gb memory card and use the excellent timeline view built into the phone.

                              - videos: tried all sorts: no mpg, no avi, and with wmv it only plays the audio.

                              - the web browser is very good, I use it all the time now... 60MB data usage in past five days (thankfully, I've got a flat rate tarrif).

                              - very fast Java engine - runs all the apps I've tried so far, most important is Opera browser that starts instantaneously. Took 10 seconds on my V3.

                              - recommend a silicon case to put it in. Keeps it clean, scratch free and hides the ugly styling.

                              - the only bad thing are teh buttons, which try one's patience. Person who desigend them should be sacked. It'd be great if it had normal buttons, but because of the buttons I'm afraid I'd recommend you buy a Samsung.

                                mine comes with a 64mb m2 card, similar to what k800 has in the package. But you could always upgrade it upto 2gig.

                                  Hello,

                                  I need few feedbacks from k550i users ( or people who have enough info on it) on the following Qs:
                                  1. On Display (TFD display) :
                                  How's the display quality? Is it comparable with W810/W800/W700? Is it too bright like in Motorola's low end phones?
                                  Does it have a light sensor to auto adjust the display(as in w810/N72 at the top)?
                                  2. On Camera (Cybershot - 3.8mm sensor) :
                                  How's the quality of the photo taken at night under normal light(indoor/outdoor )? Will adding sony ericsson's photo light accessories improve quality(less noise)?
                                  Is the Photo taken at "Fine" mode(at day/night) good enough for a good photo print(Normal size/Post card)?
                                  Does it have "Red eye reduction" feature?
                                  3. On music : Does the headset has stereo jack? Does it have w810 like ear bud? Is it HPM 70/65 head set or other?
                                  4. On Key pad( i don't message much, but games yes some what) :
                                  Are the keys easy and good enough to maneuver(including the navigation/joystick key)?
                                  5. On Battery Life :
                                  How long does the battery lasts? Say on a normal usage (1-2 hours of talk, music, games and few mins of camera/video)?
                                  Does the TFD display improves battery life when compared to similar phones(W810/W800/W700)?
                                  6. On Memory : I heard k550/w610 are overall faster in phone usage than the previous mobiles(W810/W800/W700) due to the new firmware, right? How it responds with a 1GB card? Does it supports other microSD cards(Transcend, Kingston)?
                                  7. On Video : Is the quality/speed of the video (viewing music /film) pretty decent from these 3GP/other supported format (of course i cant a DVD one)? What's the supported frames rate? Can we play WMV files?
                                  8. On Java Games/Themes/Application : Can we install supported 3rd party Java Games/ Themes/applications other than available at Sony ericsson site? Will the newly installed be available in their corresponding menu(Games, themes...) or in the File manager folder? Does the file manager recognize document files? Is there any mobile tracker software(like in Samsung phone) available for this phone?
                                  9. Last but not least which is looks better White or Black and look wise which is less prone to dust/scratches? Is white available in India?

                                  PS. I've already went through Forums, reviews(as these reviews are based on beta version) in the sites GSMArena, mobile-review.com, etc., Im open to new refs links.

                                  Yup. Big list of questions.
                                  Thanks.
