Yes that's right, but I thought that he meant when you take a picture ;)

    @Amit,

    Mobile is not an magnetic device, though it emits Electro-magnetic waves, RF to be very specific. It is due to these radiations, you see the disturbances on the PC monitor. But rest assured, it will neither leave coloured spots or the picture distorted on your monitor. Whereas, if you bring a permanent magnet near the PC monitor, then it will definitely leave some sort of coloured patch on ur screen (temporarily)

      hi shaliron,
      when u bring any device that emits some kind of magnetic rays in front of a comp monitor, it is bound to leave behind some colorful traces on the monitor.
      It's not just abt this particular mobile. even if u move a small magnet in front of ur monitor, the monitor will get harmed.
      regards,
      Amit.

        The way CRT monitors work is that it refreshes he screen hundreds of times every second, so through the camera's millisecond capture speed, the screen may not have fully 'wiped' the screen and there for leaves a line on the image. There is nothing you can do about this, but it doesn't harm the monitor or the phone.

          To all,
          1. SCREEN
          Unlike other SE phone, u can't using camera with landscape mode, can't preview picture with horizontal style. Overall, Z550i has brillian main display.

          2. MEDIA PLAYER
          in some reason, MEGA BASS produce POWERFULL sounds( not loud,but solid). I, personally require MEGA BASS in the phone to be classify as music phone.
          3.CAMERA
          THE WORST 1,3MP PHONE I EVER HAD!!!

            Hi Hema,
            I also had the same confusion before buying the Z550i. Though Z550i doesn't have a good mp3 volume but i assure u that rest of the features are pretty good, espesially an awesome camera at this price. Also its memory can be extended(upto 1GB). On the other hand the W550i has a higher volume but it does not have an extendable memory(256MB). So the choice is urs whether u want to listen many songs with a lesser volume or a few songs with high volume. Its better if u go for a Z550i & later have a 512 or a 1GB card inserted. It will fit ur budget. My suggestion would be to add another Rs.1000 & go for K750i(2MP camera).

                  Hi Hema,

                  I guess with this budget you can go for Z550i, which is really an excellent phone except for low ringtone volume. Or else you can go for W550 (walkman)..all other walkman phones are above Rs10000.

                  @Anonymous,
                  The rays appearing on the LCD of your phone when taking snap of your PC is quite normal, it is due to the slow raster scan of the CRT of your PC monitor. So dont worry and happy clicking!! ;-)

                              I haven't upgraded to the next firmware. But I doubt it.
                              To enable ringtones through the headphones you turn the phone to silent.

                              RDS shows basic station info about the radio station that you're listening to. Station name or song playing. Depends on your stations.

                                  Shaliron, does the new firmware show the name of the channel on the external screen while playing radio?? As of now my cell doesnot show either the frequency/saved channel name on the external screen.
                                  Whnever you receive a call, if the profile is set other than silent only the handset plays the ringtone and no sound is heard in the handsfree. Is there any way to enable ringtone playing thru the set as well as in the handsfree kit? Kindly adivce.

                                      You can't use the card in most card readers unless it is Memory Stick duo compatible.
                                      Then you have to put the adapter on the M2 Micro card that should've come with the card when you bought it.

                                      I can hear it outside, but on a busy road, I don't think so.

                                        Yes, the volume it too low..chances of missing a call on the street is very high. Also the earpiece volume is quite low, so in a noisy surrounding you will not be able to hear to the other party. I have this cell & am facing this problem, even though I have kept the ringtone volume as well as earpiece volume to the loudest level.
