      hi guys.. i was very happy with my w550i until recently it suffered a WSOD.[for first time readers it means my w550i crashed and was left only with a white screen and wasn't responding to anything at all]. my biggest mistake was to purchase it without warranty so as to save some 2000 rupees.. now i took it to the dealer and he very coolly told me to spend 800 rupees for a new software flash.. i agreed and got my cell bak.. to my horror my model changed to w550c. after checkin i got that the chinese firmware was loaded upon asking the guy said the international firmware was crashing on it over n over again.. all was fine and done till i finally used my now w550c for it's real work.. music thru it's blastin speakers!!
      to my horror!! it just sounded like sound from a k750/w800 speaker.. the beats were still loud as they should be but the voice of the song had reduced.. it was like the speakers before used to blast the voice thru dem but not now.. only the beats blast and the voice seems like very suppressed..
      i tried the mp's too which i had before re flashing in case of the bitrate problem but invain. so now the biggest charm for my w550i has gone as the reproduction of the sound isn't phenomenal any more..

      any help or suggestions guys.? i'm ready to do anything to get it's real speaker performance bak..
      plzz help me.. is it because of the firm ware change or some other bug??!!

        I liked it, I can use it inside the aircraft as mobile can be switched off and can work in MP3 only mode.

        I fell for it !

          The new firmware R4CB020 is out !!!!!!!!!!!! I updated my firmware over the GPRS using the update service function (really innovative technology)! It was really cool and simple. It took me about 30 minutes for the whole process. I dunno what issues have been fixed in this version since i didnt have any probs already with the previous firmware. One thing i noticed so far is that the stereo widening option gets saved this time ! Besides i feel the in-built netfront browser has been updated coz my homepage looks a bit different this time( BBC PDA edition) . I ll post more about the new fixes as soon as i discover them.

                                    Dr.Nic, you can use the flash as a camera and you can only encrypt (password protect) individual files with the software I mentioned.
