Is it true that in this model the sounds are too low? Someone said this model has a serious problem with sounds, even if you put them to maximum setting, you can hardly hear them in "normal" conditions (like in the street), true? Someone who has used this model, please verify this.

The battery can last up to 4 days with light usage. It can get up to three days with moderate usage, and two with heavier usage.

No prob ;)
@Venu
Go to Settings>General>Master reset>Reset Settings to reset all the settings on the phone. If you choose Reset all, everything will be deleted off the phone that you have added (photos, ringtones etc.)

Sorry, it might be a little late now but I'd say the Z550 is the best for you.
I does look better, but it does have been keys for texting, and the music player is much nicer than the K750. It basically has the same mp3 player as the Walkman phones with a different colour.
But the camera is far worse, and the K750 still is the king of all 2 megapixel cameras, so that is quite a feat to beat really.
Also, the Z550 has a slightly larger screen and the user interface is better. Some improvements are the use of profiles from the power button and copy and pasting text from messages etc.
Ultimately, because you are going to listen to music more, the Z550 is more suitable, even though the max storage limit at the moment is 1GB (the K750 has 4GB)
The cons are the lack of flash (for using as a light cos it doesn't really do much for photographs) and the camera's overall quality. The camera is OK, but it really could be better. Also the battery life is not too great, the K750 is better. And finally the loudspeaker isn't terribly loud, but it does have a stronger vibrate.

I want to buy this fone but I need your feedbacks regarding the quality of the camera and video. Is the camera and video clear?

Hi guys, I'm going to buy Z550 tomorrow morning. I got to know that the price difference between Z550 and K750 is just 160... So should I really pay a little more to get a better K750? Does that make a big difference? I really like the look of Z550 (my main point of buying it), and is quite bored with bar design. I use my mobile phone mainly for (in order of frequence)
1. sms
2. call
3. games
4. music
5. photograph
I'd appreciate it if Z550 users can share with me frankly the cons of Z550. I'd especially like to hear your comments, Shaliron. Thanks :)

Well, the backlight doesn't actually turn off, but it does fade is what I meant. On all Sony Ericsson phones, the backlight doesn't turn off during a call so I doubt that the firmware can fix it.
The Sony Ericsson website is wrong. It can only show time.
And the speaker is just quiet. There is not bitrate in which the sound will get louder, we'll just have to live with it.
@adam
Well the interface is better, but Megabass is just an extra, and I personally don't like it but some do. Overall, the media player is better because it is more like a real MP3 player; it shouldn't be judged purely on if it has Megabass.
@anonymous
It has video recording. There is no limit to how long the video clips can be, only the memory.

Does this phone have voice recording?

Shaliron,the media interface is better than the one that k750i owns,but don't forget the sounds quality.k750 has MEGA BASS, which makes sounds roar perfectly. you miss this point,mate. Don't u think z550i is suite to girl? even the sterling black still reflect feminity. You will found flower shape decorated the box.

Shaliron, as mentioned earlier 1) during a call the LCD (internal screen) light glows continously till the call is disconnected. If I update my firmware will the LCD light go off after say 20-30 seconds?
2) On the sony website, they have mentioned that the extnernal mono screen displays DATE & TIME..is this information incorrect?
3) I tried various ringtones..but the volume is low. Could you tell me what bitrate songs should I try?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shaliron,
1.The number issue I mention earlier is
if you incoming call is 12 or more digits(India/Airtel they deliver called id as
+919845688962),so in th eexternal display the number for which you don't have the phone/SIM card entry ,starts rolling
2.Similiar unwater results can be seein in the caller list menu also where you can see
numbers dancing to show the number in 12 + 1 configuration.
3."newer menu over the K750" - What is the difference
4.MEmory card being inside the phone itself reduces the possbility of sharing
and ease of use.(keeping aside the price part)
4.I don't remember the options.But when I got to the menu->internetsetting,
I see a different menu getting listed with select & more button display in the screen missing,but still works-So a display/menu posting bug?

@Madhu
You don't need to lock the keypad on this phone because it is a flip phone.
@anonymous
Yeah, but this phone has no joystick, meaning better reliability, has a better media player and newer menu over the K750.
And what do expect the phone to do when a person calls? Of course it is going to display the number.
Maybe you've got the fullscreen mode for the web browser on, that means that the select and more buttons are not visible.
And you can open this phone with one hand, it is just a bit more tricky.
@Raghavendra
You'll need the Disc2phone and PC suite from: http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=gb&lc=en&ver=4000&template=ps1_1_3_1&zone=ps&lm=ps1_1&pid=10459

Hi soorena, could you tell me where I can get the software to transfer SMS to PC, preferably the URL?? Is it possible to transfer MP3 songs/camera snaps from / to the phone to PC??
