Base on the shape, audio & features looks great. But when facing the software ITS SOCKSS...!. Two times i must loosing valuable data MP-3 Play list, Ringtone, Themes n Picture. Cause the screen just blanked when i connecting my phone using the USB Cable with my computer. This is accident happen on the 15th day i bought this phone. Reeinstal software on Sony Centre is Helping. But For the Next Day ITS HAPPEND AGAIN when i try to connected with my computer. AGAIN, go to Sony Centre and leave my phone for three days for reeinstal the latest software. For now, i've just using an Infra Red and Bluetooth connection for transfering file between my phone and computer. Just in case the accident happen again

i like this phone alot, and it's my first SE phone, which i planned carefully before buying it, because of the high price. With all the special features it has, that's why i finally decided to buy it and pack it with pics and mp3s, i really appreciate this phone so much that i cannot find any phone better than this but guess what???... i only had it for just exactly 17 days and now, same as you haslan, my phone died very very soon! it can really make you feel the pain, after paying for a high price phone, this is what you get, it only live for just 17 days, your phone is better haslan, you had it work for 2 months, mine not even a month, doesn't make sense! it happened at one point while i was attaching the usb data cable, which i had already done a number of times before, then at this time, as soon as i attached the cable, the phone resets, which is normal because i'm going to use the file transfer feature, then a white blank screen appears and it even reaches the sony ericsson screen with a black background and that is what you will see unless you remove the battery, cause you can't even turn it off. ankit, is it true, after having the phone fix with the new software installed, this will never happen again? cause if this is the phone or manufacturers problem, which is still possible to happen again, i will never waste time packing this phone with great stuffs, i will just use it normally and change to a better phone in the future. actually, i'm planning to apply for a new sim card tomorrow which has gprs connection, cause i'm just using a prepaid sim right now and no gprs is available, i'm doing it in favor of my phone, but it's dead already just hours ago, then instead of applying for a new sim, i should visit the retailer for repair. poor consumers.....what a heck!

TO ANKIT
thanx to become more alert than others....
but,you know what....SE already makes me dissapointing with their product!
i already put high expectation to SE product becoz i already use 2 SE phone(Z200 and K700) and both of them works fine...
that's why i choose this phone as my third SE phone!
if i know this would happen to me,i will not choose this phone,it's better if look for other manufacturer!
this tragedy really punching my heart and makes me cry(believe me) becoz i have too many picture in it and i love them all so much!poor me........................

TO HASLAN,
hey mate if you are facing problem like that i must tell you that most of the ppl i know had faced the same problem that i had just a week back....
well mate the only thing is when you get your fone back from the retailer you will get ur fone with the updated software and then you will not face any Problem...
believe me i have an exp. of dat.
and as far as your DATA is concerned well cant help it!!!!!!!
see every coin has two sides(+ive & -ive)...
the same way you can see phone hav awesome sound but limited memory(can be ignored)
it hav a fashionable look but some problems as well...
Think of The Nokia 8800 Users Man!!!
Cheers Enjoy!!!!!!!

I had the white screen of death, of which I was told the phone had lost its software therefore everything I had on the phone I had lost. I therefore returned it to where I got it from and they said that they could reload the software on the phone but they could not get back contacts, pictures, music etc back so they replaced the handset with a new one. I am now onto my 3rd W550 in just over 2 months as the 1st phone, after turning it on, would freeze when it was trying to pick up the network operator. So as you can read, I am pretty disgruntled by this particular phone and I am looking to completely change the handset for a different make/model as soon as I can.

the inbuilt netfront browser is really good. it can resume broken downloads on all file types except for 3GP files. have anybody noticed that? i dont understand why it is so? hope there is a browser upgrade in the next firmware release:)

Just wanted to ask about the "White screen " of death that appears sometimes in case of W550i. For me even when i tried to remove the battery and put it back again, the "white screen" was still there. I tried that many times but to no avail. So anybody here could tell me how to get back the phone in normal condition? The problem maybe " I tried to connect the phone in USB mode rather than phone mode and after transfering files removed the hardware and since then the white screen is coming." SO what should i do next. please anyone advice me or give me a solution to this problem. Thnx in advance.
