a lil bit confused.., believe me when I say this, you won't be opening the phone too much once you buy it because you can do simply everything with the phone closed, barring 'dialling' numbers and 'typing' messages, both of which are not done too frequently.

@a lil bit confused
Well there is no such hole on this phone. But at least you can use that antenna for that purpose. Just tie/stick your phone strap or other acc there.

Cruz they both have loud volume,if you want to play an MP3 loudly set it as ringtone and then go to settings > volume and highlight the LOUDEST option(the last bar to the right),don't push 'SAVE' or the return key,just leave it like that it will start to play very loudly louder than it would when u hit play from the file manager

I had to post in parts because it is not possible to make such huge posts via my phone which I use to browse the net. You have to read from bottom to top - if you haven't figured that out already! Sorry for the double post in between!

...one doesn't is EDGE and I assure you that it is not needed in Pakistan. Just buy the phone and you will know for yourself which is better of the three. And by the way, Nokia means (quite literally) slow and sluggish and this phone is ultra fast and responsive. See ya!!
(P.S. - That was a rather crushing defeat by Rahul Dravid and co., wasn't it! Better luck next time!! :D )

...for my quick two cents. First of all, this place is meant to post opinions, not for asking the whole bio-data of the product. And PLEASE read the phone's specs and review on GSMArena.com first before asking something here! You did not even know that the phone does not support a memory stick and that it's sound quality is the BEST in the market. The only feature that Nokia 6230 has and this...

...use any software at all.
16 - The phone operates on a, well, operating system! LOL! It does not support a memory card, though it has 256 MB of huge internal memory to stuff with about 80-90 songs.
17 - Yes, you might face a white screening problem. If you do, simply upgrade the firmware (the option is readily available in the 'Settings' menu) and you should have no problems after that.
Now...

...loudspeaker option in calls (and quite loud too).
13 - Unless you intend to use it on the moon, it should serve you just fine.
14 - It is a WALKMAN PHONE!!! (Tell me one thing, would you honestly believe me if I told you it didn't!)
15 - The data cable is one of it's best features. When you connect it to your USB port (and to your phone, of course), it works as a removable drive. No need to...

1, 2, 4 - The camera, honestly, sucks.
3 - There is night mode.
5 - Yes, there is.
6 - Yes, about thousand times (or maybe more).
7 - Nope, it doesn't.
8 - Yes, you can (but why would you want to!)
9 - Of course it does!
10 - Nope, it is not true. (Where do you learn all this crap!)
11 - The radio is very good.
12 - For Heaven's sake, the phone has 3 (THREE) speakers! Of course it has...

Hey everyone i just bought this phone yesterday and im SO impressed it's absoloutly fantastic only the camera isn't to clear at night but anyway the mp3 is really great. The battery runs out fast if you listen to it a lot though. But anyway it's a totally awesome phone and i wish to advise anyone thats thinking about buying it or buying another one if you cant choose i say you choose the w550i it's the best ever i love it so much. If you have any questions about it feel free to email me on jesspl123@yahoo.com
Thankyou

@cruz
Basically w550i is louder because it has more (and bigger) onboard speakers than K750i. The headset of w550i (HPM-70) is also better. However, you can buy that headset to replace K750i's original headset, HPM-20.
@chris
If you're more to imaging and frequently taking shots from your phone's camera, better go with the K750i. However, if you're looking for the best music phone, go for the w550i. (Or the other walkman series). You don't need to listen to other people's opinion about the design. When you like it, go for it.
@navie
Yes I agree with you. The camera is not good at all. This is simply because w550i is more to music than imaging.

yes you are right. k750i joystick sucks. thats the main reason why i prefer W550. W550i d pad fits nicely beneath ur thumb and its a pleasure to navigate.

hi guys~~ i am planning to buy a new mobile phone and i have choosen w550 and k750~ their price are quite same (k750 more expensive).k750 got expandable memory and 2 megapixels camera while w550 i like the design so much but ppl comment that it suits college students or even younger but not to ppl who works as i am going to work soon. however, i am also worrying about the joystick of the k750 coz i heard that the joystick is really easy to spoil. so which 1 to choose ? any opinion? u guys find any problems with this beauty??
