    you have to have your headset plugged in the phone for the radio to work.
    this phone is very unique and i havent had ne problems with it. if ur battery is getting low really fast, then make sure ur bluetooth is off.

      the guy asking what to choose; i had the same difficulty in choosing as you did. but i decided for N6630; w550 looks cute, and has some memory, but 6630 is a smart phone,has one of the best 1.3mp cameras, memory card slot, 3g, and IT'S NOKIA. w550 has a nice radio and a Worms, which is great fun playing, but isn't worth it's price.

        Hello!
        The best among the three you mentioned is, of course, the W550i. In fact, it is the best phone in the market at present if you can do without a 2 MP camera! I wouldn't recommend the other two because, being Nokia products, the are bound to slow down within one week of usage. And yes, you can play FM Radio through the stereo speakers, though you still have to plug in the headset.
        See ya!

          I need your help, guys. I can't decide whether I should buy N3230, N6630 or SE W550i. Please tell me which one is the best and why. Thanks in advance. And oh, one more thing, Does W550i play FM radio in its stereo speakers? Thanks again.

              Hello!
              w550i user, you can pair any bluetooth headset with the W550i. I have answered this before too.

                Cheers guys.

                      Aayush, yes. I'm planning to change my unit. Though I've posted some problems with the phone, but I still like it very much! The walkman features are really GOOD. The only GRIPE is that you can't re-start a music track while it's playing. By pressing 'left', the phone goes to the previous track. But.. its minor. As a phone, it's a SE, how wrong can they go. SUperb telephony functions. Very FAST menu. Design... I never thought that I would love a swivel phone.. but I do! it's a great design. Just wish that the memory can be upgraded. But, u can't have everything, right...?

                        Nope, it wasn't. The phone's display is 176x220 pixels and the video was 240x320 pixels, which is why it crashed in the attempt to play the file. Make sure no one else does that.
                        See ya all!

                            Hello guys!
                            Yes, kev, it can play MP3 ringtones as SMS alerts - of course!
                            ricky, I have already answered this question quite clearly. The only between the two is that while W600i is EDGE enabled, the W550i is not. And obviously, I would never recommend a Samsung phone over a Sony Ericsson one.
                            Enjoy!

                                    Hey guys, i recently bought this phone, and was real happy to wht i found in its package... but wht happened to me is unimaginable... my phone just went white screen when i sent a 240x320 3gp video in it.as soon as i pushed the play button, it went white and now i have sent it to the manufacturer to claim my warranty. so my advice is this tht dont do a mistake like this whtever happens... thts all , but still i like it bcoz it was my own mistake... this phone worked for all my expectations...

                                      Hi....
                                      Yeah, i have tried that. But adjusting the picture lower will remove the body. Or resizing the picture will make the face smaller and hard to see... hmm, quite pointless.
                                      Anyhow, i do agree SE has great features, other than this wallpaper problem.
                                      Hope in future they can include this "Disable Network Name Display" function.
                                      This function is common in mobile like Samsung, LG and Innostream.

                                        Just click the picture with his head a bit down so that the eyes aren't hidden. LOL! C'mon, it is too small a thing! I mean, look at the whole range of features that are on offer.
