i didnt encounter any problem connecting my w550i to my pc, to those who are experiencing problem connecting their w550i to their pc or laptop, probably the problem is the driver(software), try reinstalling it, though, some OS like WindowsXP and 2000, automatically detect it and autoplay it's content. or try to look and search the drive thru disk management. hope it would help you somehow

    Again, it happened. I CAN'T TRANSFER FILE! Just as I connected the USD Cable, it disconnected by itself. This is so frustrating. Though I'm not sure if this is my laptop's problem OR the phone. But it's really annoying. Anybody with experience, please help.

            Is this phone worth getting if you have a mac, not PC? (how much do you rely on a computer to use this phone, with files, songs, photos etc?)

              for music lovers who love hearing their favorite songs thru headsets, well, W550i is the best choice. I compressed my songs to 32kbps in order to save as many as 180 songs, and all played well and sounded great thru my headsets. It has some good features... you get more information on this website www.mobilephones-info.com

                  Funny thing, just now, everything seem to be working well. I can now transfer files by just hooking up the USB cable. Very easy and stable (so far)... now sure why it didn't work last night... but it's ok now.

                          I just changed my W800i to W550i today. Mainly because I synch from Outlook and I have >600 names in my Phonebook. I see that W550i has better UI than W800, so I like that. BUT, I have a problem now. Once I connect the USB cable, my laptop recognizes it and I got a Removable Drive at my Windows Explorer... BUT, it only stays just a few seconds and disconnected itself automatically. End up, I STILL CAN'T DOWNLOAD ANY mp3 SONGS into it!!! Can anyone help??

                            what are the chances that there might be an 'upgrade'?...like memory-wise upgrade...

                                Dear Jo, read the review again - here is the part that you missed : "Sample pictures (the higher noise levels are caused by the low light conditions)", and something else - do you think that there is better phone camera from these of sony ericsson? nokia have very good cameras, but even the latest and expensive models can only dream about sony ericsson quality! just look at the pictures...

                                    well sony ericsson OS is average but lacks of somethings, in that nokia and motorola is better by a lot.
                                    have anyone read the review? why if the pics there is a horrible noise on it the reviewer doesnt say anything bout it? , on disv, i would dare to say its just another SE fan review, not pointing all the disadvanteges
