Top 6 reason NOT to buy this phone
1.Price of this phone + memory card money = K750 price (you get better camera ,,data cable,IR ...)
2.Rington volume is too low to have lot of missed calls.
3.When call comes number starts rolling on th external display(if you don't have phone entry for the number)
4.Unlike other SE clamshells,you can't open with single hand
5.select & More button is not visible when you got to the Internet settings?
6.Battery life is very average

@Man
I guess you are a typical Nokia user ;-) like me..i too was disappointed when I tried to switch between channels using the handsfree button. But then slowly you need to get adjusted to SE.
Can anyone tell me whether I can transfer all my text messages (SMS) to computer??

@Man,
With the flip closed, you first you need to activate the external screen by pressing the volumbe button once. Then just press & hold the volume button, the channel will change automatically.
I would suggest all to refer to the previous messages, you would get answers to your queries there...Man, i had recently asked this question which was answered by Shaliron (refer to the posts below)

Kishore, I dont think the horizontal line indicates GPRS signal strength because firstly I have not opted for GPRS and secondly even if i dont get GSM signal the line never disappears..it is sort of fixed. Also in the Settings->connectivity->Preferred network I get a list of GSM network like Hutch (MNC=5),Hutch (MNC=13) etc..which one do i select?? Can any one tell me whether the ringtone volume would increase if I update the firmware? Currently I have kept it at 8, but still while traveling the ringtone is not audible.

Subramaniam,
I also had the same problem. I bought it when it was launched, with great Expectation from Ghatkopar-Mumbai dealer, Within first 15 to 20 minutes of use it got hanged and after reinstalling battery it never switched on again. On complaining, my dealer replaced it with new piece but of no use as second new piece also had the same problem. So he told me that there might be a faulty batch of production and asked me to wait for few days. Thereafter he gave me Third new piece from new lot of batch. Now it is working fine. Some time it happens with branded companies also but it all depends on Dealer's approach to the customer and your luck.

i guess the horizontal line on top of signal indicator is the gprs signal indicator. if you are subscribed for gprs the top area is filled in a triangle shape indicating the gprs signal strength, if not ony lines are shown.if you dont want that line to be displayed just go to settings->connectivity->preffered service and select gsm. within few minutes the line should be gone or if u switch of and back on the phone line will be gone.

I don't know what that means, but it does that on mine as well. It doesn't do anything really so I wouldn't be worried

Shaliron, it seems daily I am having some or the other query regarding my Z550i. Now I am seeing a horizontal line on top of the network indicator bars on the external display. Similarly on the internal display I get to see a gray box inside which the network strength bars are shown in blue. What could this issue be? Shaliron if you could provide me with ur email id, i cud send u the exact figure...pls help me out.

1) While listening to Radio, with the flip closed, how do i switch between channels??
First you press the volume keys once to unlock it, then hold it up or down to scan up or down.
2) My firmware is R6BA033,Update service SW UR version is of 2006-03-13.Do I need to update the firmware? Also, if I update will my data (sms,pictures,MP3 songs on board) will get erased??
As far as I know, the memory will not be erased, but back up all your files just in case. But you do not really have to update the firmware if you don't want to. It is not necessary. All you gain is slight menu speed, and small tweaks.

Firmware is the version of software ur phone uses to operate... like i use windows xp....
In computing, firmware is software that is embedded in a hardware device. It is often provided on flash ROMs or as a binary image file that can be uploaded onto existing hardware by a user.
