@ad07 and others - As I did say in my original post it comes with stereo earphones attached to the dongle. These are bog standard ear phones unlike the ear buds you get with the walkman series of phones.
And yes it does come with a USB cable. Don't all phones these days ?

Hi guys
just wanted to convey some technical stuff regarding the camera in all mobile phones. First of all, the essential component in photography are the lightning conditions around. Well I do own a sony digital camera of 6 mgpxl. And I also have found that when the light is bad and if I don't use the flash the photos are very very noisy and poor. So what makes the difference is the light. And that is where a flash has its role.
i tell u guys that no mobile camera can produce such great light with a flash as a digital camera flash does. Thats why all mobile cameras are bad in night and low lightning conditions. The flash provided cannot match the digicam flash, which is so intense.
But if u compare the photos in daylight , then they are very good and match the digicam clarity.
So accept the fact that a mobile camera cannot match a digital camera. ( But it does in outdoor pics due to good light )
My K550i is no exception.Outdoor photos are great but the indoor photos and night pics are very very noisy , and the reason is the absence of a powerful flash !!!!! . What K550i and all walkmans have is a photolight and it does'nt provide a great deal of light.
SO to conclude, the cybershot K550i takes great outdoor pics, but very bad and unusable at night conditions, unless the room has decent light around.

Hey. I have this phone for a week now. All the functions are OK except a very important one: from time to time, it cannot receive incoming calls - like it would be shut down. After I restart it, it goes OK for a few hours, then again: no incoming calls. Outgoing calls are possible all the time, no problems. I changed the SIM and the problem persists. Can anyone PLEASE tell me what happens? TY
Yes, earphones are included, but no memory stick.

Hi, could someone who has this phone tell me if you receive a usb cable with it or do you have to buy it separately? Also, did anyone experience any major faults? Thanks.

Its really a nice cute cell..
here are the pros :-) :-)
>> very thin only 14 mm thick
>> the screen is tfd and power saving
>> music clarity same as that of the
walkmans
( but use the walkman earphones)
>> really fast compared to the walkman
family
>> picture blog
>> nearly 74mb inbuilt memory + 64mb m2
card
>> the picture clarity is excellent
outdoors
>> weighs only 85 gms
>> lens cover & flash
>> flight mode
>> supports bluetooth stereo
>> supports EDGE
here are the cons :-( :-(
>> no zoom at 2mpxl mode
>> card slot is inside the battery cover
>> night photos are horrible
>> speaker volume and clarity less than the
walkman series
Overall a great phone and does justify the cybershot branding if photos are taken outdoors. They simply match the clarity of my cybershot digital camera.
Thumbs up for sony ericsson 4 bringing out a great,speedy & cute phone

to carbonize, thanx for your king reply about my query. hmmm.. with that it still makes me think more if what fone i should buy.. coz im searchin 4 a cam/videofone,mp3player,radio,bluetooth and infrared connection. coz i had my n6680 still i love it but lacks the radio and infrared. and about the package of sek550 youve never mention a memory card, and headsets (i think) does that mean its another purchase?! well i hope its available in the market coz ive found out the m2 card is kinda rare and new.

@to the guy below me and for soumya:
take a look of what's important to you,
-do you need 16m screen QVGA one(6300)? or contented with a 262144 colors in 176x220 is enough(k550)...
-do you need 3G(6300) otherwise you'll just have EDGE(k550)
-do you need autofocus camera and photolight and many more(k550)? otherwise you just need snap and share only(6300).
-do you want the slimmer one(6300 11mm)? or you're contented with the V3 razr thinness(k550 14mm).
-do you need much much more memory of up to 4GB other than having 2GB only. both can accomodate great 2GB but K550 enables 4Gb storage one as of now.
-are you plannin to buy a bunch of accessories for your phone costumization? K550 is SE and SE have lots of them for your choice. nokia has some but sorely lacks costumization.
-and the last bu not the least: do you need ease of use combined with a great costumization in menu(6300) or you need 3D menu animations and a free DYI theme creator(k550)?
that's were some things you might consider to make a decision over the K550 or 6300. but honestly both are good but i'd say K550 is well equipped in multimedia and costumization and 6300 is for communication.
make your choice once you've find out what suits you most.
@Ikuzo:
-there's no way to enable k550 to view youtube at web dude.
-but you can use riva flv converter and a video converter to 3gp so you can view uploaded videos to your phone.
vicky:
i have posted your preferences, you must decide which suits you most.
abhi:
yes all SEs can do that.
kairi:
as simple as choosing better music style or a camera style.
Wada:
yes and you can upgrade it to a whooping 4gb!
