hey..bob..Q1 : I never download MP4 coz I know the video recording itself sucks,btw don't bother to use it coz am using IPOD.Q2: nope, u can't! Q3:It does not play AAC files, I just can't figure out yet why. If I were you, for the cost of USD300 and without 3G, this is it comparing to nokia #6300 latest model which is kinda light in weight and 16Million colour...but no auto focus and no led lights. I choose this model K550i coz its real solid holding it, does not fell bulky in my jeans front and back, but most of all I luv the LOUD VOLUME with cool graphics. any other models you want K550i to be compared with..lemme know coz ive got friends with 10 different models in nokia and SE..

Would buy this phone, its good looking with some great features but without being too over stocked with fancy stuff. I wonder about the price though.

I got this phone yesterday and I am pleased to say that it is as good as I expected - even better. The camera is better than in the test that Gsmarena did. Makrofunction is very good! But as always light is of the essensce. The phone is also quick. I got a 1 Gb card and it does not slow the phone down in my opinion. I do not know if SE has made any improvements on the radio but I think thar the reception and sound is better than in my old phone (W550i). Last but not least, when you hold the phone in your hand you get a feeling of quality! I highly recommend K550i! (In all fairness, there is one thing thar I am a little bit disappointed with - if you listen to music via the loudspeaker then the sound is a bit low).

To sheikh...it is improper to compare the K510 and the K550, they are worlds apart. The 510 is somewhat low end. You cant compare a phone that has 28mb internal memory and one that has 64 mb internal and room for expansion! the k550 supports a2dp profile (dont know if you understand what that means) but i have used it and its quite a feature. All i can say is no wires when listening to music.
The music players are worlds apart and not to mention autofocus.

@ Boyz....yet another question. The phone is able to capture videos at QCIF level (176*220), but again reviews say it can play downloaded MP4 videos of 320*240 resolution. Can you confirm that for me? The other thing is with the web browser. Can you browse in landscape mode? And the third and last Q...can it play AAC files? The w810 reviews say it can play AAC files but I have one and it cant! I like AAC files coz they much smaller than MP3 but you can still maintain quality at a bitrate of 128kbps.

K550 = K750
Just a little feature difference.

compared to k510 the k550 has:
-quad band
-edge support
-smaller form factor
-fm radio
-higher resolution display
-memory slot
-syncML support
if all those things don't matter to you, then thats ok, but don't make it look like they have an identical feature set

K510 was aunexpected hit,basically low cost but this k550 is double price with only 1.3MP to 2.0Mp cam,rest is facelift ad esp the shine n body is worst as scratshes appear.cyber-shot is only for sale gimmic nothing extra ordnary like walkman logo nothing extra normal player like Real or Medis ply.the flat designs r trademark of SE,and the origin or made n never mentioned,thats bcz Made n Cina SURE

Hey bob... haven't tried yet the headphone itself or even using bluetooth, but i do believe it would be the same as thru the speaker. btw, it does have equalizer which i don't find it useful coz tried to level high for the bass but only minimal effect. if you're lookin for a budgt hpone with superb quality pix but poor video this is the ONE.
If ur looking for a phone that has everything except for 3G then this is the one...next question pls..

To Boyz...have you yet tried out the A2DP profile with stereo sound via bluetooth? Does the bass sound adequate with the supplied stereo headphones? The reason I ask is coz reviews say the picture quality in w610 is not as good as the k550. Just wondering if I can drop the w610 from my list and do without the megabass.

Is it right that this phone doesn't have a joystick, but a D-Pad?
If that's the case, then we should say bye to the joystick issues that previous SE phones have. :D

Im back! I got this for a couple of weeks for now.. now here's my further comment..
pros : Speaker was very loud than what i expected, ID caller display was superb, the joystick? I would'nt call it a joystick coz its more like navigational pad which is solid-like, screen still clear to see under direct sunligh, cost? affordable approx HKD2180 (USD320),casing solid enough,picture quality? SUPERB!,phone flash? fantastic.
cons: Video camera SUCKS! if you're into SMS/texting forget about it coz its kinda difficult to do it in no# pads,design? so-so,battery life? okay,playing music kinda so-so coz too much hissing sounds.Anyone wanna ask more details?...lemme know..

this phone seems good!
should be cheap i think...
cuz its a budget phone!
but then i was hoping that SE will
come out with another Xenon flash phone
if there was xenon in this... i'll buy it!
lol
