Depending on the type of file. If it is a picture, it should be in the picture folder. If it is a video, it should be int he video folder etc.
Go to File Manager and have a search around.

I am from Melbourne. I don't think the memory stick will hamper the phone's response, although it has to others. Most people that I know have no problems when putting a large memory stick into their phones, so I wouldn't expect much difference with the Z550.
A 1GB memory stick costs around 3500R in Australia, but you should only buy as much as you need. If you only want to store photos, that you may only want to buy a 256 memory card. If you want to listed to music, a 1GB card will hold about 260 songs.
To make sure your memory stick is genuine, the safest way is o buy from a proper shop. Don't buy one off eBay or one from a bad store. Also, if you join with www.esato.com, you'll be able to see the photos with the genuine and fake memory sticks here: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=110192&start=0
Normally, along the right side of the packaging, the order of the photos should be PSP, camera, video camera and then laptop.
And my Z550 has never crashed before. It is very stable, so I don't think it is a bad series.

I purchased this handset a few days back in Mumbai and within 10 minutes of bringing it home the phone hung !! I could not restart it, and the screen went white just like a hanging PC !! Removal of the battery also had no effect and I gave it back to the dealer. At the service centre they were unable to reload the software, so they have agreed to give me a replacement for the handset. Another lady who purchased it from the same store as me faced the same problem. I think this is a problem with a particular bach if not the whole series.

Thanks Shaliron, for a quick response. Well I m from Mumbai, India..Where are you from? Also I would like to know whether the Memory stick capacity would hamper the phone response? Should I go for 512MB or 1GB? How much should it cost approximately? And how do I check whether the stick is a genuine one?

1)Is there any risk of my cellfone getting infected by virus thru bluetooth?
Not really, mobile viruses are only dangerous to smartphones. The Z550 is not a smartphone.
2)The ringtone volume is very low, though I hv kept it on max level (8)..still it is not audible while travelling.
Choose a louder ringtone. The default Sony Ericsson one is fairly loud. Some ringtones are louder than others.
3)Can I switch off the LCD light while making/recvng calls?
It should automatically turn off during a call.
4)Can I lock the keypad?
No, because there's no need to because of the flip design.
5)Does the 'S' sign on the battery disappear once the battery is fully charged?
The lightning (S) symbol disappears when you pull the charger out.
6)How long shud the battery last (in days) if i just make/recv calls and send SMS??
I've acheived four days.
7) Can i view clips full-screen?
No.

hi neelam,
what do you mean when you said for mp3
>> the heavy the file , the softer it will play on the Speaker.
do you mean the bit rate or the size of the file. i suppose higher the bitrate better the file quality.

Hello people , just read all your issues & will reply to the issues that i knw about.
Keypad :- I dont think you will experience an issue with the Keypad because it has a plastic cover on it allready.
GPRS:- You need to call your service provider (BPL,Hutch,Airtel,3g.....) & tell them that you want to activate GPRS , they'll send you a confirmation messgae that will create a Internet Profile for you.
I think that will resolve the issue.
MP3:-The Mp3 plays well in the headset.
The heavy the file , the softer it will play on the Speaker.
Memory :- Im sure all you people know that the memory can extend upto 1GB , but it is not adviceable to increase the memory upto
1GB - because the more the memory the chances
of the Phone to Freeze is more .......
Message Lenght:- In message settings u have the option to use the maximum number of characters .......

You can't change the front cover, but you can remove and replace the back cover. There might be a way to remove the front cover, but you'll probably end up breaking the phone because it's not really meant to come off.
