well... i think that its a good phone and it looks so nice.. the key pad is damn nice to use... I think that the phone is worth it for the price I paid which was RM780. However, im just concerned about the low batt life of the fon which is frustrating at times... And the memory card which I think very costly because I paid RM300(1GB) for it... the camera is not too bad...

    hi,
    friends,
    i dont understand wat's wrong with u guys this is really a good phone. only thing is use it in a right way. its true that when u are accustomed with nokia, its difficult to use initially the ericssons but in two weeks ull enjoy every of the feature. the cam and sound clarity is genuine. i throwed it several times in anger because of my girl friend but still its working. not that single reason the data transfer rate and the usage rate is also good. comparitively other than all the phones z550i is really good with an affordable price. its more user friendly and the features are awesome. only one thing i wish is , for cam option if we would have a choice to use the entire display.
    fine then.
    have a happy calling
    bye
    joe.

        duhhh .... the volume button is on side of the phone ... uve gotta blind if u cudint see dat .... n all the buttons on the rocker are customizable ... answering a call!!! how much simpler cud it get? .... if u cud handle a Samsung n a Motorola, this ones a cakewalk.
        i switch phones (various brands) quite often. n this ones 1 of the easiest to use out there. u think otherwise stick to a Beeper
        dude uve gotta b a dud ...
        none of ur comments hold ne weight ...

          SE makes the worst phones of all the companies. It's so hard to find the volume controller. I guess you need the manual for that. They still don't get it. Make it simple with one buttom talk and answer. If I can't use it right, how can an older adult use it. I switched to Samsung two years ago and would never go back. Motorola is good to because you can assign the buttoms.

            hello eveverybody
            i m using z550
            i found many problem with this phone.
            1)low battery life. some user has opinion that it has good battery life.for them i want to say just check out the official website of sony Ericssion and compare it with other phones battery like k750 which has 9 hr of talk time while our phone has just 5.5 hr talk time
            2)its sound is very low as compared to any sony Ericssion k series phone.
            3)after puchasing i found that this phone is costly too. ipurchased it in india@7400 . i found that it doesnot have data cable.i went to purchase it from sony mobile shop.it cost 1200.while the better feature phone like k 750 comeswith only 9600 Rs.and this phone also has 64 mb card,can play rm file.
            4)our phone also does not support flash wallpaper(this type of wallpaper changes as the time changes eg"if the wallpaper is about sun and building then in morning it seems to be rising as the day grows sun seemsto be more brighter and at night there willbe sunset and buildings will have its own artificial light."

              Hello,

              I read all the post earlier about the quality of camera for this phone is not good. What I want to know is, does the quality look bad if only you view it on your pc, or does it also look bad when view on the phone?

                Yeah, the keypad is good for typing on. Well spaced out.

                      I have a few question here:

                      1. Does the picture ID is shown in full screen?
                      2. Can I record phone conversation using this phone?
                      3. Does this phone camera have auto focus?
                      4. Does this phone have a flight mode?

                          Maybe I'm not lucky, but I bought a z550 and had some problems. The first time i tried to play a game (don't remember the name), the phone simply locked up, the screen became white, and I couldn't do anything else, not even turn the phone off. I removed the battery, and then put it on the phone again, and the phone didn't turn on.
                          I went to the shop where I bought it, they exchanged my broken phone for another brand new z550. The next day, I made a video of about 30 seconds. When I tried to play this video, for my surprise, the phone locked up again, the same white screen.
                          I'm going to the shop again tonight, and I will not take another z550.

                            The great:
                            Incredibly beautiful design.
                            Sound quality superb.
                            Features are basic, but the interface is extremely user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing.
                            Handling calls couldn't be easier.
                            The good:
                            The calendar & task list are nice.
                            It has a good tetris-like game.
                            The buttons are a joy to use.
                            The so-so:
                            Battery life is average.
                            The not so good:
                            The camera could be better.

                              After reading rave reviews, I finally bought this phone. Ive been using for a month now.

                              Pros: Looks, price, quadrapop is a nice game, facewarp is fun too, sound is so-so.
                              Cons:
                              1.the camera sucks. It's worse than 1.3 mp camera of any other phone. I had read that it's bad, but I never thought it would be this bad.Low light, bright light, you name it, its bad! None of the pics I have taken are worth saving to a PC or sending a friend :(
                              2. the battery sucks. I used a humble nokia 1600 before, a full charge lasted me a good 3 days. With z550, it lasts me max 2 days, even with just simple sms and calls.
                              3. M2 card is twice the price of other memory cards, including grey market. Anyhow its not worth buying one unless you're keen on charging your battery constantly, if you want the card for songs I mean.

                              And my phone gives me a funny sweetish-metallic smell. I dont know if its normal or the battery leaking, although there's no heat or smoke or liquid coming out of the battery. I would really appreciate it if anyone can fill me in on this.

                              Anyhow, not a terrible phone, atleast my girlfriends say it looks great :) But dont expect too much from it.

                                  i just got this phone today but something's puzzling me. when there's an incoming call,the ringing starts off really softly for 1-2 seconds and then it gets louder to the preset level(i set it to the highest level).but when i play the ringtones on 'setting' they sound just fine(maintain the same level of voume throughout).i tried using different ringtones but the samething happens everytime. is there anything wrong with the speaker?

                                    I Love it!! great SE, and there´s some wrong information here, in America you can buy the Z550a, and this phone is quad-band, an also it has 25MB internal memory, not 20.
