hi i'm thinking about purchasing this phone, looks good & the features aren't too bad either. one thing i've been wondering though, can you change the backlight colour of the external screen or is it always blue ? thanks.

    Got my z550i yesterday for Rs 8500 in Mumbai. A few impressions...

    Its slimmer than I expected, and lighter. It delivers what is guaranteed. And its damn sexy.

    The only hitches so far - the speaker is set on the backk side - that makes it kinda hard to hear the phone ringing and the black surface around the camera lens is a fingerprint magnet!

        He means the availability of the memorysticks in stores. A lot of stores don't have them on stock. I got mine 2 weeks ago though

          what do you mean with "unavailability of the memorystick m2" ?? It doesn't work in a good way ??

            According to me its a good set but the problem is the unavailability of the memorystick m2 its functions are good and has a small delay in opening the video files

              the output of the audio is not that much louder when compared with other mobiles. I am using both 6600 and 550 but 550's volume is too low to be heard when we are outside that's the one set back which i feel in this 550. all the other things are ok till now

                Well all the keys are sunk in the body, I don't have any problems with it but I don't sms a lot. I would say if you're a sms freak the keys aren't very good for you. You need something like the keys from a Nokia 6030

                  I am currently using a Nokia 6125 as a primary phone and VERY PLEASED with it. Now I am planning to get this z550 as a spare. To me, Sony Ericsson (SE) phones are NOT very user-friendly if you compare them to Nokia. I had a SE z530i, HATED its keypad (difficult to SMS quickly with one hand), sold it right after using it for a few days. I wouldn't want this to happen again, and willing to give SE another go. Could anyone tell me if you were happy OR not happy with its keypad?
                  For those of you who own a z550, please tell me the problems you have had.
                  Thanks in advance.

                    I am thinking of getting this z550i. Have heard all the great things about it, now I'd like to hear some issues/problems that you have encountered. Would appreciate all genuine response.

                      Just bought this phone yesterday. Battery is holding up good so far, and i'm generally pleased with it. The interior and exterior really suck up your fingerprints though, and the projection is not very loud, but okay. This phone does NOT come with a data cable, which sucks! if you want to put data on your phone, you will have to buy a usb cable, or a bluetooth device for your pc. first impression, i think 7,5/10 is a fair reflection.

                          hi every1!got mine 2 weeks back. gr8 phone. radio is good, camera good under natural lighting conditions and the processor is really fast(no hang ups as yet). mp3 player is good(not as good as an ipod, but thats because of the bad earphones). and battery life is great to say the least. plays mp3s continuosly for 12 hours. to darkray, i am not able to play wma or aac files as the phone does not recognise them. could u just suggestsomething because the manual says its compatible with aac format. thnx in advance. all the future owners, just go ahead and buy it. its a price-performance champion.

                              I have got this phone quite long ago. May i ask if anyone could tell me how to maximise the use of camera for this phone? I want to know more about the lighting condition it works best on and the distance it can take to maintain its sharpness. Thanks in advance.

                                  After a few months of search on the net about the best possible cell phone at best price with a lot of style , functions and durability . I BOUGHT THIS PHONE 1 DAY BACK, AND I AM VERY MUCH SATISFIED.
                                  do i need to say anything more????
                                  compare it to nokia 6270, screen and speaker of nokia is slightly better, rest is same EXCEPT THAT PRICE OF NOKIA IS DOUBLE THAN PRICE OF THIS PHONE, NEED TO SAY MORE????

                                    if you had read all reactions you would know that the phone only comes with charger and stereo-headset. A2DP means the phone can stream music to a stereo bluetooth headset

                                    to darkray
                                    tnx :) I'll keep that in mind

                                        I got this phone about two weeks back! and i think it is awesome for the price! in india,i you get cell, charger and the headphones. the M2 memory card is about Rs 2500 here (1gb)! so thats the only problem!
                                        wont be a problem in Mumbai the radio works fine! :-)
                                        for Rs.8250/- it is a great buy!!
