I managed to restore this phone, too! Bought a BST-33 battery for it, I am glad people are still selling brand new batteries for older types of phones. Works like a charm! Like new. Missing charger and headphones, or USB cable, but still good! Love the keyboard color, plus the fact that the phone itself is available in 3 more mask colors, gotta get the Plum Ruby one, I have the black one. Seen the white one online.

Hello , did you know that k550 supports Real Media formats such as RM , RA ? I think Anybody!!!!!! ha ha ha show me a new phone that support this format without third party app.

AnonD-75913

Yes,Though K530 is a 3G handset with secondary camera, but its low internal memory 16 MB is really not enough, particularly while downloading bigger files or receiving files via Bluetooth it always shows not enough memory, it holds really no meaning for 3G network when u cant download files bigger than 16 mb, where as K550 has 77 MB of internal memory at least we dont face this. K550 had better looks & most important it has got LED flash.(Really helpful for taking Macro pics in low light conditions or taking document,text pic)

K530 has 3G. This one not.

No. K550i has an auto-focus.

K530 is better than this phone

Hello, I have this phone type and I am very happy with it. However, from some time ago, the phone does not remember the missed calls or any calls that are being made. Could you please help me resolve this problem? Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

Yes! you said it perfect in just a few words! I just love this little piece of engineering craftsmanship!

Ricardo Solana

"Smart phones" came and went into my life, but this little lovably phone is, all the way, the smartest phone and piece of engineering that ever fell into my hands. It is almost 2014 now and I still have a private number for it since I intend to keep it working as long as the own phone wants to. Everything is AMAZINGLY EASY to do on this phone, thus I can really claim it to be a truly SMART PHONE, unlike many others that came after it, even today. I just love how functional and reliable it is, and I am sorry I cannot update anything on it (the camera, etc.) but never mind, it is still my trusted companion, and hopefully, for many years to come yet. Thanks Sony Ericsson. I just do not understand why you did not include in your subsequent phones the refined and smooth operating system and features you achieved on this one. Now I also have a Xperia ZL, quite a wonder itself, but I will always keep my K550i running... :)

svetislav

I have K550i but lost PIN.Can you help me?

mutijet

How to put that. One of your "main files" is broken. It is customization if I remember correctly. You have to flash your k550i. You need few programs, original USB cable, and new files. I recommend to use files from w610i it gives it few more functions, also you can change drivers for sound. Just search on google how to do that.

jienah

i used my phone sony ericsson K550i since 2007. but now the problem is when i clik menu "configuration error. please contact your network operator or service centre". what means about?. i have already go to phone shop and they download software but still not. so, what can i do? i really this phone.... help me?

I use SE K550i (mine is white) from 2008 until now and never got a problem, long life battery, nice sound, easy to use, nice camera photo quality. I never use a phone as long as i use this phone before. Perfect phone for me. And i wouldn't want to sell this phone forever. I love Sony Ericsson. And i'm a normal people from Indonesia, of course not a SE staff. :)

Hey there. My phone's fastport broke - it is loose and it is literally unusable because I can't charge the phone nor can I listen to music or connect it to the pc. Has anyone ever experienced such a problem? Is it repairable? Or should I consider buying a new device? Thanks.

Seba

One of the best phones i had, a war machine. I use this phone from december 2008 to march 2012 (when a rain kill him because flooding with water) and never fail me, drop several times and keep works like always do. The only 3 bad thing about him: 1- the loud speaker in hi volume make a little saturation, 2- the conector for earphones/charge battery/usb conection, in the beginin works fine but later you must make things like pushing hard to make a well conection or moving up and down to find the correct position to make conctact whith the pins, 3- the camera in poor light situation is bad. I talk about the bad things, now, the rest of thing about the phone are simply outstanding, a master piece of Sony Ericsson.

amj

No doubt it is a very nice mobile, can v buy new?

Miljan

This is a very good phone. Battery has a lot of power and if you charge it like you shoud, battery could last for 5 or more days. REMEBER THIS WHILE USING SONY ERICSSON BATTERIES: Let it drain completly, charge it while phone is off, charge it for 2 and a half hours MAX, then swtich the phone on. Really good large display, nice colours, good camera for its range. Great design and dimensions. Only minus a had is the materials. Not a very sturdy phone. Overall this is a great product, 10/10 for this phone

i love this phone. my brother gave it to me 2 years after he used it cause he wanted to buy a new one. it's a tough n strong phone. it had survived all the torture my brother gave - throwing it to the wall n floor when his mad (almost a hundred times), dropping it in water (over 10 times) n many other cruel stuff. and yet, it could still work perfectly with me for another 2 years. now, it have some screen problems. i wanted to fix it but my mom told me to get a new one. i really wanted a phone that have the feature just like k550 n some better stuff. but every time i compare them, k550 turned out to be better in features that i like. too bad my mom won't let me buy a new k550. so, the search continues...

May be there is moisture inside. After removing cover, battery and Sim, dry the phone. Then try recharging the battery and switch on.

Certain problems may arise in this phone after sometime.Although it is fast and good but sometimes its buttons hangs.The phone may restart automatically or hang up..And the big problem once its menu fail to work i.e it disappears and message is shown error in the menu.ml file.it fails again after few days so this phone is not recommended.

hi all...just wanna share my experience with this phone..been using this for 2 years (since sept. 2008 until now). n don't have any single problem at all! believe me, it is. battery life is good, screen got no issue, ringing tone is loud. good: camer is good for 2mpx, can multitasking, not even hang (had been play java game+sms+browsing opera mini at the same time n still can received call, no problem). texting is good. drawback: music player was not so friendly user. ** it was a cybershot, not walkman series. so now it still in good condition, i'm gonna pass this to my sister n get a new mobile (been bored for same device for 2 years) and W995 as a replacement. =)

Whn i ws not at home,I m conectng it with my laptop for workng as modem.i m geting 16kbps dwnlod speed with edge netwrk. The only drawback of my k550i is its camera.cam is not much gud as expected evn of se branded it as cybershot.horizontal lines showing. I love this phone so so much....

I re-started my phone not knowing that i will be deleting my photos and other staff, how can i retrive my information.And also that my handset is not working without headphones,there is a sign of them on the screen.

sharon

i hav it from april 2007 onwards.Till now i m using it. Now -It's camera having vertical ane horizontal lines. -center key moved out.fevi quick applied,then found ok. -media(mp3,3gp etc) overlapping problem arises. -battery backup very low.i put 50% for display brightness.then found ok -sometimes memstick format warning came and i was compelled to format memstick.now i dont put any critical data in my fone.so ok. -sometimes fone responding in wrong manner.very rare so can be neglected. Till now i m using it.i like it soo much.it droped several times from my hand.this may be the reason for the above. this is my first fone.three year struggled.now i am at top.

Hello man! I had that problem too. It's an early indication that sooner or later your phone will be corrupted. But don't worry, your phone will still be okay after having it reprogrammed.

Hi, what the downloading speed of edge in your country? In my country (Malaysia) I just can get only +/-15kbps. In a peak, its down to 5-7kbps and it hard to get connection for internet.

yahn

very good made in brazil

lover

good pictures only in sunlight and i love it

nzim

It is a very good phone. I have it for about 2 years and I am pretty pleased with it. The 1gb m2 card is almost enough for my needs, probably I should have bought a 2 gb card but anyhow. In sunlight the pictures are almost perfect, but when in twilight and in the dark they are awful - even with the flashlight. The video recording function here is pretty much obsolete because the video resolution is too small such as the fps. A function I found recently is that you can use it as a modem. For example if you have free megabytes or your mobile internet is cheap, you can use it as a fully functional modem. Browsing from the phone is also easy and perfect for checking your mail for example or for browsing sites such as twit*er and face*ook. The battery life is ok - it stands up about 3 days with moderate use. The sound is pretty clear and if you have nice headphones the sound is perfectly clear. Probably just home high-pitched sounds from the speaker are a bit blurry. As a whole I love this phone. If it had a bigger display and Wi-fi it would be pretty much perfect. I am a glad owner of a k550i and I am not going to leave it soon :D Oh, I must say that last but not least the phone is very stylish - very beautiful. And when put into direct sunlight the back panel sparkles in blue and purple.

gabrielle

i have been using this model for about 2 years now. ever since it never gave me any trouble. very stylish and cool when it comes to pictures. i don't think i'll be changing my phone for a while. hehehe :))

ramos

been using this phone for about 2 years now. the only thing abot this phone that doesn't get me is that it shuts down and restarts itself sometimes, kinda weird, though it takes cool pictures. very clear, even my dad's amazed

jayesh

i m using this phone from last one year it has good camera and stylish look but there is a one problem display is very sensetive.

Alfian

Bought this phone... and using it for almost 1 year I guess? For me, the camera is a bit weak, just 2MP... but it takes ok pictures :) The thing I find most weird is that at many times, the phone sorta shuts down by itself. I dont know how but it shuts down. Just a few hours ago, while on the phone with my wife, I tried to adjust the volume using one of the side buttons... and it shut down! (like a shutdown short cut key :P)... Another thing I don't quite understand is the headphone jack. I have to play around with it to get my MP3 songs to play in both ear phones... (normally, when I plug it in, only one earphone has sound). Overall though, this phone is OK. Not to say excellent.. but OK. Quite strong too, dropped it a few times until the screen 'bled'... but still usable. At first, hated the keypad as the keys were too small, but finally got used to it.

KONG

Its the worst phone I bought it a year before ,it has given me many problems ,my phone was unrepairable report from the service center. Worst! worst! worst! Please do not buy this phone and you will feel better.

i am using this model since september, 2007. it never gives any trouble. super performance of gprs and internet access through PC. camera picture is excellent.

i use this phone.. uke lorh.. i haye drop it but still working.. hahaaaaa....... but the housing so expen la.. about RM 80 _ RM100

gayan SL

i've been using this phone for more than 2.5 years now. overall it's a great phone. - super battery life - perfect picture quality (day-time) - good sounds - handy organizer applications - etc etc etc.... but.. - camera flash is not good for night time photos (i dnt care though) - handsfree/charger connector is bit messy now. since i used to keep this in ma pocket for long time specially when im seating a lot, the saltiness in the sweats might let the connector to get corroded. (yeah it's my fault, not the phone) BUT STILL I LOVE THIS PHONE. WORTH THE PRICE.

1st. plug in your usb data cable from your phone to your pc via usb cable. your os will automatically detect your phone. 2nd. just drag and drop your photos from your pc to the folder of your phone via windows exlporer. if not automatically detected install first the se software.

Meme

I had this phone for 3 years, and still have it it is really great one I flash it to W610 and i added a lot of patches to it, so it becomes wonderful. i also added passwords to messages,file manager,and keyboard. i advice u to bye this phone it deserve to spend time with it.

Tehron

I've had this phone almost two years, dropped it a few times. No regrets. Very good daylight photos with steady hands,not so good night ones. Photo editor provides great room for creativity. Upgrade memory card to 2gb and you can store hours of mp3s and MPEG4s.My major problem?- the headset connection starts to malfunction after a while. Loads of features for a phone in this price range.

Caz

In addition to my review, I agree with other reviewers that the camera is not the best but it does do better pics in daylight and the camera on the phone is quicker to snap than my Olympus camera (not a mobile-phone camera) such as taking pics of a tiger-jumping and the phone can snap it in mid-air where as my camera is delayed and the tiger already landed.

Caz

I've had my Sony Ericsson for longer than a year and a half now. Although you cannot download applications like the iPhone, you are able to download different themes and games via phone-carrier network website or through Sony. Positives: Although I have dropped it a few times by accident, it has not damaged my phone. The phone design is easy to manoeuvre. The battery-life is better than Panasonic and some Nokia's. Web-browser and games does not take too long to load. Good features and pretty good memory for similar phones in the same price category. Has camera-light for night pictures which some models do not have for that same price category. Negatives: Not as many features as advanced phones such as no landscape viewing of the internet. Screen-size is smaller than newer models (but still is easy to view pictures and internet on). Camera resolution is not as advanced as newer models (although it is still good for the budget-range that this model is in). Overall, I like this phone and have not had problems with it. I am upgrading my phone to another model of Sony soon but like this phone enough to keep it as a back-up.

i am not happy at all buy at your own risk the one will buy is a big fool display is very poor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is absolutely an amazing phone with a camera so great. I've taken shots in the Himalayas and anyone would think the pics have been shot by a 7 pixel camera at least. Funny thing is, whoever I knew I had this phone , lost it. The latest victim-- me :( , It was stolen today. But I'm so delighted with the features, I'm set to buy this and only this model again.

good phone but bad got no games with it

Yes - there is a call recorder, but it produces "beep" every 20 seconds. And this "beep" is heard on both phones (In your phone and in onother too).

is there call recorder in it??

Dezt

This phone was great, but I've lost it. The camera is excellent in daylight, I have absolutelly amazing shots with it, it's unbeliavable, some professional photographers thought that shots was taken by professional cameras, but it was taken by an simple K550i without any mods. :)

don't like phone...back cover for battery is bad...cannot connect to comp using usb and battery life is the worst i've seen..the only good thing is the camera..which is basicslly made for.

Sourav

Looks: awesome Sound: Very Good On head phone, low on speaker Video: Suports almost all file type.. Display: resolution low 176x220 battery: Not BAD for those who does not talk much.. network: average, call lost, on low signal it goes to emergency calls only camera: good on sunlight, on artificial light not good, no zoom on 2MP, cybershot is just to impress people, video very bad, flash(led) is just for show; you can use it as searchlight insted.. Software: very good, support java games. Problems: Yes, Camera problem... Black line & white spots on camera viewfinder(i have it within 6 month)Parts not available; Display Problem: becomes white(i am having it now),replacement very costly, no help from customer care, Service Center is bad(be aware of getting fraud even from sony authorized service center, such as Bubli media....) I am using this phone from feb 2008, it was in between in service centre for 4 month.. Advice: GO FOR OTHER HANDSET, BUY IT IF U FREQNTLY CHANGE HANDSET

yeeeeck

why u should buy this phone? 1. Fast and realiable. 2. Nice camera 3. Simple Design 4. Nice sound quality :) 5. It's very cheap (in price of course)! 6. Suports nice 3D games 7. It's and SE unit :P If u can find it buy it, try it and then go back to this forum and thank me :D

yaar software update kar le . u can do tht by taking your phone to service center ,it just take 5-10 minutes to format and put software again. or u can do tht at home by connecting phone to your pc which hv net connection or if u gprs activated and u hv net on phone then u may also try update over air. aur agar last 2 process ke bare meih aur kuch puchna ho to puch lena but first one is best to do and they r in order of preference

ive already done that,, & the message is still there,, ive already updated the firmware of my phone still the message is still there,, :(

I have plan to buy it, is it recommended? Any problem with the functions?

SONY_ERIC_FAN

Why not take out the M2, turn off & on again. Does the same message appear? If yes, then ur phone's software(firmware) is causing the problem. It need to be flashed. If the message doesn't appear after u have taken out the M2, then M2 is the causing the problem. Further info/help about any Sony Ericsson related info, >> [email protected]

angelica:(

my phone has a little problem,, everytime i turned my phone on,, after the sony ericsson logo,, thers a pop up menu that says,, "Warning All Content on Memory Stick will Be Lost, Format anyway?"

The coolest thing in k550i is the Track ID that you can automatically search for title, artist and album names about a song you hear playing through a loudspeaker or playing on the radio.

Awesome phone lots of features, little disappointed by the camera, and hard to text with, but plays music really loud and has a sim card slot so you can make it like an iPod. for $100 its a deal!

I am having trouble with the installation of games. I've got about 200 games and every time I try to install them, usually midway through the installation, after installing a few of them, the phone hangs or restarts and after that in my list of games, the game names appear doubled and I can't delete the duplicated names. The only solution is reinstalling the firmware every single time. This is very upsetting. Does anyone know what might have been causing this? I am using a 4GB memory card. I've got about 600+MB of songs and they all play perfectly. Ths problem only occurs with games and in a pretty random fashion.

Hi Killem, I am thinking of using ur cam driver (killem_BestQ_1.54_Final)for my flashed k550. but using a modded driver really a risk? Is it bcoz of 'over clocking'?? thks...

I got this phone yesterday and i am pleased to say that it is as good as i expected - even better. The camera is better than in the test that gsmarena did. Macro function is good! But as always light is of essence. The phone is also quick. I got a 1Gb card and it does not slow the phone down. I do not know if SE has made any improvements on the radio but i think that the reception and sound is better than in my old phone (w550i). Last but not least when you hold the phone in your hand you get a feeling of quality! I highly recommend k550i

This is the best mobile available at this price range. If your are planning to buy this mobile ...think no more..Go Ahead & Buy It

I love SE Phones, But the newer models now quite give me a headache,, last july last year,, i bhought my girlfriend a K550i, for back up phone,, because it is fast solid interface according to users,, yes,, it is fast, compared to some phones.. but problems exist since day2 it restarts it self sometimes,, & turns off without a reason,, worst last Jan24 the activity menu internet key, right navy key & right menu key mulfunction,, wich is annoying because you cnnot acces some of the phones feature,, it havent been drop or used heavily because it is just a back up phone,, i brought it back to SE shop & found out that it is a factory defect, & i need to wait for 3months for the part to get it fixed,, im not saying that SE phones are the worst in the world,, in fact their one of the most trusted names in industry, but these days,, newer models tend to have a problem, (software, board etc) sony,, pls make youre phone more durable,, as durable as the passed days,, also,, pls make the parts availability more available,, we love SE phones,,

Killem

Yeah! You're right k550i is sooo solid that it can last looonger

hitman

i'm using this phone since 18 months. This is a very very bad phone I've ever used. The camera is very bad. Zoom is not there. the camera was good for first three or four months, but after that it's getting worse. The lead of the camera is getting damaged, so the photo at night(with the flash turned on) is captured as a white-snap. The sound-quality is one of the worst I've ever heard. I can't hear the song in bus, train or a quite busy road. The mobile-case is also of bad quality, the color doesn't last longer and the fone looks like a 10yr old fone. This is a very small psg to curse the handset...So, never try this set...

It is 1 of the best design k series fones! Iv had my k550i almost a yr now an i never had a prob wit it its a everyday fone an it does everything. I wud recomend it 2 any1! But im goin 2 upgrade 2 the newer k850i cus of the newer software an features!

Why my 1.8 year old k550i is still in good condition? Maybe your ----- to handle your phone

Kedar

I used this phone for last 2 years. During the past 2 months the battery has slowed down and I need to recharge everday. And the bigger problem is the phone has stopped accessing network ever since I dropped it a few days back. The local service center has refused to repair the phone saying that no repairs would work. They only solution they gave is to change the internal circuit board which would cost around 70% of the phone price. Now that is crazy! Here I am in a situation where I need to buy a new phone ASAP and my old phone's drop dead! I have concluded that SE phones have good user interface but very delicate hardware. They are not suitable for those who use it rough.

for a better photograpy talents C905 is the ANSWER. This is my simple answer for you. BUT k550i still old phone .

Takla

No one will believe at your crappy brick N82

skyman

During the day with bright sunlight it's acceptable. Indoors it's really poor. Using night mode and keeping the phone absolutely still renders usable pictures, but by no means printable as they are very noisy and low quality. In a nutshell, don't buy a cell phone for its camera. All of the them suck when compared to real digital cameras. If you want something better go with the N82. According to several reviews that's the best cost X benefit for a camera phone. The major drawback with this Nokia is its battery, but photo-wise it'll grant you the best results in the 5MPixel arena.

this phone takes very nice photos from close distances, (approximatly 1.5meters), but its photos from far distances is not as good as k750.

keypad is not easy to use. moreover it cant play real media songs. silver color mobile is short only black is available.

Skyman

This telephone supports up to 8GB of Micro M2 memory. I have this one installed on my phone and it works perfectly. It works but it's a waste of space as the pics under 2Mpix take less than 700KB each, the videos are also pretty small and the games use up a tiny tad of the memory. Sticking to 2GB is more than enough, unless you're a crazy music fan and want entire discographies on your phone. In that case a bigger flash drive (4 or 8GB) is recommended.

ASHIQ

yes man. upto 2 GB ,... micro M2

i had this phone for more than 1 year.. now, i have bought a new phone, but, still, i can't release my K550 phone because it's a one-of-a-kind phone i had ever since.. if you try to compare it to other latest phones, this k550 won't be out of place.. it's design, the resolution, the toughness, features, specs, it's just great.. the camera is so reliable.. super clear when printed and has nice editor.. my friends always tell me that my phone got a nice keypad.. K550 is one of the best phones Sony Ericsson made.. i'm so glad i got one K550.. it's really cheap, but it's got all the features a buyer is looking for. Nice job for the SE K550!

well its 125$ with one year waranty

tapewrom@GR

Hi!I've had this phone since november 2007 and I can tell you that I've never had a problem!The battery still lasts at least 3,5 - 4 days in a regular use.It only blacks out when disconnected from my pc and then immediately works properly again.Surely it isn't a walkman phone so don't expect best sound ever but the 2MP camera is ok...of course could do better as it is a Cyber-shot phone.I guess that's the only drawback of it.Anywayz I can assure you that I am 101% content of this phone and still afraid of buying another SE one.What if it doesn't work as well as the K550?Thumbs up!!!!

Chns Ina

Sorry I misunderstood of your post. I think sell price this phone $40 in your country. $40 is warranty cost for 2 year right!. I suggest you choose cheapest warranty cause this phone is durable, high quality component inside. I have been used this phone about 1 year until now and never face trouble with this phone. In indonesia if buys cell phone thus its already include 1 year warranty. But of course warranty nowadays are buyable with some money for 1 to several years warranty time. This is part of money making business.

Xyk

I'm from Canada and the website sells it for 140$ and they offer a 2 yr warranty for 40$ and I'm wondering if it's worth it. I wouldn't hesitate if it was a 500$+ phone but I'm not sure if it's worth it for a 140$ phone.

Wow 200 Euro? more expensive than my country (Ina). I estimate this phone only worth about $150. 200 Euro is too expensive.

you can do very much whit this for a pretty low price i had to pay 200 euro for this i love it

Which country you are come from? While you can have this phone with only $40, in Indonesia I should to pay about $ 150 (Rp 1,500,000) to have this phone!

......And k550i run at 217 MHZ cpu speed while the k530i run only at 194 MHZ Bwha ha ha ha ! Go to this site ->

THE TRUTH

to say the k530 is better than k550 is nothing but hogwash ... shall answer every point 1.TFD displays DONOT glare from the side ... the only drawback is more contrast ... read the k550 review here and even they mention the same thing ... ut it consumes less power (as much as CSTN) ... 2. k550 has a auto-focus camera ... and that my friend , is a lot better than a fixed focus module on the k530 ... compare pics from the k530 and k550 on this website itself .. so K550 is better 3. true , k550 doesnot have 3g while k530 does ... but to be honest , if u can afford 3g at the present rates , i'm sure u can afford a better fone than either k530 or k550 ... still i admit here that k530 is better 4. all the entire db2020 range that runs walkman 2.0 have the SAME audio module in them ... k550 w610 k530 w660 w880 w850 etc etc .. though there maybe slight difference in loud speaker output due to different sizes and form factors , they will ALL sound the same with earphones .. so k530sound=k550 sound 5. bluetooth support is same for both the k530 and the k550 6. with HGE-100 , u can get GPS on virtually the entire sony lineup ... k550 and k530 included 7. "latest User Interface" ... u seen to know nothing about SE phones i think .... all the fones u mention use the same interface ... and the k550 interface is as "latest" as the k530 interface .... only the newer lineup like the c902,w902,g502 have the newer interface with a media centre ... they are db3150 phones . so don't write stuff u arent sure about ... k530 offers GPS which 550 doesnot ... but the K550 takes much better snaps ... anyday ... rest of the features are the same on both ... so if u are particular about 3g , go for k530 ... if u are sure u wont use 3g , k550 beats the living daylights out of k530 necause of its more advanced camera module

RishiGuru

I have both Sony Ericsson K550i & K530i. Both sell at around Rs. 7500. If you do not need 3G i.e. fast internet data transfer which still a costly service in India, K550i beats K530i in every aspect, hands down. K550i have EDGE instead of 3G which provides slower data transfer via Internet than 3G, but then who cares. Advantages of K550i over K530i -> 1) K550i has 77 Mb internal memory instead of 24Mb of K530i. 2) Both the phones uses 2 Mpix CMOS camera module & that�s where the similarity ends. While K550i camera module has Autofocus, the K530i does without Autofocus. As you can guess Autofocus camera modules are costlier than the ones without it and thus produce superior pictures. 3) K550i has active lens cover protecting the lens from dust & smudges where as K530i has no cover. 4) K550i has 2 LED lights which can be used as camera flash or torch light where as K530i has no LED�s. 5) K550i connectivity wise offers not only Bluetooth but also Infra-red port which is helpful to communicate with older mobile phones for data transfer where as K530i has only Bluetooth. 6) K550i is a quad band phone where as K530i is tri band. 7) K550i TFD display is brighter than TFT. A TFD display also consumes much less power than TFT, as low as now obsolete STN displays. Thus battery backup is better than K530i. Advantages of K530i over K550i -> 1) Has 3G. Our country has no 3G and even if it is available within a year the cost to have 3G will be a lot. 2) K530i has a VGA video call camera; K550i does not have one but think how many times you have used it if it was available in your phone? K550i autofocus camera is far superior to the no autofocus camera of K530i. 3) K530i uses TFT display which is a much recent technology than K550i TFD. Amazingly, though K550i display is brighter. 4) The K530i keypads are bigger than K550i, so typing SMS in K530i is a breeze. A let�s make one thing clear, both K550i & K530i uses the same user interface, the SE A100 platform so they have the same audio, FM, video modules. Every other performance aspects of both phones are identical.

here's an udate from my k550i just recieved it from the repair facility of sonyericson and still its not charging and called them again and they said theres nothing wrong with the phone. so i went to a local cellphone store and check the charger and found out that the charger is defective. ived just wasted $12 for the shipping.

dinesh

u mean k550i i guess! If u r using handfree,sound is pretty good for a branded camera phone.but inbuilt speaker is not that impressive.but i only use handfree to listen to music. if u can buy a one which comes with the walkman phones seperatly(HPM 65/70,etc) than the music experience will be really awsome. anyway k550i doesnt have megabass.but the bass equalizer which it does have is more than enough for my ears..And u have the stereo widening option ;-)

Sumon

Well i was satisfied with my sonyericsson k550i, but few days back my 2mp camera has turned upside down; that is when i go for taking any photo everything is just the opposite, like leg on the top and head is below. what is woerst that it is not storing any photos in its memory. I,m really vesed with it... Could anybody solve my problem...

How is the sound effect in k500i?

Rowan

And: camera has suprisingly many features and in good exposure this little thing sometimes delivers very good pictures. I have a Canon IXUS 40 (4mpix) and when the battery runs out (which it usually does) Im lucky to have my k550 digital camera with me to stand in, and not bad to have both flash and video feature to use. I bought a 1 gb M2 card right in the beginning and have never run out of space since. I have no interests in games so that feature in the k550 is hardly known to me. I had Sony Ericsson k750 and k550 was a worthy successor.

And another thing! anyone wants to go for a music phone go for w610.its delivers far better sound than any nokia middle range xpressmusic!!!

I dont know wats ur problem with the "File Manager". may be i guess u dnt like the name? Nokia 5310 is not in the same price group, bit expensive. in nokia u get a dedicated 3.5 mm audio jack for better music for which is of course their flagship xpressmusic edition. Nokia display is 16million color(TFT) display is better than se, but se compensate it with much longer standby time(less power consumption for display). currently iam using a k550i.n believe me the music quality i get with handfree is far better than i expected in a cybershot phone. for a 2mp camera k550i better than nokia 5310. but if you truely want best pictures u should go atleast for a 3.15 mp phone(k800,k810,k770..) but for me k550 is truely great value for money( now $150 in dubai)

anugrah

on the basis of sound , which is better k550 or k530 n which will be over all better ?

gka3000 (k850i user)

u cant compare a s.e. k series to a nokia xpress music phone ... cuz k series is for camera and xpress music range is for music ... but in ur case the nokia 5310 xpress music is really really bad on camera performance & talk time is very low compared to the k550 and the interface is really slow than s.e. interface ... but the 5310 is a music phone so it got 3.5 mm av jack and nokia sensor with a bit larger display which we should notice ...

so wat do u mean...... does thid has file manager bcoz using file manager sux !!!!! is this better or nokia 5310

gka3000 (k850i user)

its a budget cyber shot so it doesnt matter . plus i saw how it takes pics on daylight its far more better than some of the 2mp cams . at night times and at dark conditions its doing orite but the pics are noicy . anyway so many people looks forward to take day time pics with a budget camera phone or else they should go for a quality camera or a s.e. k series phone which is more valuble . the prize matters , so this phone is doing fine .

Whats your point? In nokia you will get the 'Gallery' and in se you'll get the 'File manager'.And almost in all the nokia's if you select the galley, its like booting up a pentium 1 pc. ITS DEAD SLOW!!!

Truly excellent mobile phone! I have one since January 2008 & man it rocks and beat's the Nokia 6300 by miles in every area except the display, Nokia has 2 million versus 256K colors of Sony Ericsson K550i. Positive Features : - The best 2MP camera with Autofocus currently available in the market. It has an active lens cover which is helpful in protecting the lens from scratches, stains & smudges. There are also two powerful LED�s to help taking photos in dark which also act as a torchlight when required. The software part that handles the camera is very intuitive and provides a number of options that suits in different environments in taking pictures. - Great music player with 5 band graphic equalizer that allows custom settings providing a crystal clear sound with thumping bass when used with walkman series headsets like HPM-75. Of course there is no MegaBass in K series but you do not need one if you know how to set up the equalizer to provide a similar effect. Many people forget MegaBass is a default equalizer preset not a piece of hardware which will greatly enhance the lower audio frequencies (Bass). - FM radio with RDS facility provides clear sound & good reception quality. No recording facility though. - Lightning fast response time with a 220 Mhz ARM9 processor & 77 MB inbuilt shared memory. Its predecessor K750i which happens to be the highest selling mobile phone of SE and one to beat had a 110Mhz ARM9 processor & 38 MB inbuilt shared memory. So you get two times processing power & two times inbuilt memory. Need to say more! - This mobile runs on Sony Ericsson A100 platform(software). This software is very stable, very fast to operate with no snags and is built in Java which is THE ULTIMATE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE. Believe me because I am a computer engineer. It uses Ahead of Time (AOT) Java Virtual Machine(JVM) which very good but Jazelle JVM is even better . - Powerful processor and good inbuilt memory lends to Java games running smoothly with no jitter or lag. - The best battery in its category (Li Poly, 950mAh) with which I can listen 24 hrs of nonstop music at full volume with a full battery charge. - Small, thin at just 14mm & light, I sometimes forget it's in my pocket. - Connectivity wise offers not only Bluetooth but also Infra-red port which is helpful to communicate with older mobile phones for data transfer. - No need to install driver CD's, just connect to the computer with the USB cable that comes with it & transfer music, videos, pictures etc to the phone & visa versa. - Lastly, it does very well for what it is primarily built for, excellent call reception, loud & clear. Deep technical details : - Sony Ericsson K550i has (Thin Film Diode) TFD screen instead of TFT. TFD consumes less power than TFT so better battery life and are brighter. It also provides higher contrast and colors appear more vivid & brighter and do not appear washed out under direct sunlight. - It uses Sony's patented M2 memory card rather than miniSD cards. Both are of nearly same size but M2 cards have much higher data transfer speed so the phone has faster response to user input. - It uses Lithium Polymer ion battery rather than Lithium ion, Li Poly is a superior technology (better safety, thinner) & will ultimately replace Lithium ion in near future. - K550i comes with Bluetooth supporting A2DP, a very important feature for music fans as it allows STEREO Bluetooth transmission to Bluetooth headsets. - Sony Ericsson was able to use such a powerful processor (220 Mhz) for K550i which draws a lot of power because it uses a TFD screen which sucks less power than TFT and at the same time uses a much bigger battery (BST-33) which is found in its top range models like C702i managing to provide an exceptional standby time. For example, C702i uses the same battery but it has a much bigger TFT display drawing more power so to maintain a descent standby time Sony Ericsson had to use a less powerful processor running at 180 Mhz. Steal this mobile (Sony Ericsson K550i) if you can (pun intended), but those looking for similar features at an even tighter budget look for Samsung J210 as it has all the features of this phone but pricewise comes 20% cheaper.

Hi Can anyboady tell me how to make my phone better by flashing the phone firmware to w610. (Flash K550 to W610). I am very new to flasing phones. so pls be kind enough to discribe in simple Thanx

RishiGuru

Thank you Mickey & SDK, for your gratitude, I am a very busy man but still I will try posting more important technical details that will provide an insight to this product which will ultimately help a buyer to make a decision to buy this mobile phone or not rather than posting comments which looks like a story making a buyer bewildered in making a decision. Thank You!

Mickey

Hey RISHIGURU Truely, your technical details and along with the data you have acquired ( with whatever means u have ) is very comprehensive and elaborate.. hats off to u.. People like you should blog/post more.. I am planning to take this for my friends, and with the details that u have provided, it really helped me in taking a decision.. This phone is excellent as can be seen from the reviews and opinions. A cybershot, so probably better than the rest of the nokia lot with 2mp cam, The music quality is unparalleled , courtesy sony erricson branding.. The best part is the autofocus and pricing, absolutely a take-away deal.. So people, go for it.. And thanks again ,Rishi guru.. Mickey

for a budget cyber shot it offers enough picture quality but i have to agree with what they have said in the gsm arena review it wont give quality as much as other cyber shot models , maybe its cuz its a budget model , the pictures u take gets a bit darker in the night but its doing fine in day time . i really like the s.e. firmware so no questions asked i love it and its one of the fastest (one thing i really cant understand is that s.e. keeps using the same firmware on most mobiles over and over again anyway that maybe cuz its fast and users love it)

This phone is inditructable!!!!! it has been crushed, kicked, drowned, and used as a hammer once, yet it still lives on!!!screen goes white a bit but that doen't happen if u dont do what i wrote. the video is not the best but is still pretty good. pictures are great. sound is a bit weak but good quality. out of all the phones at that price range i give it 10/10. quite frankly brilliant. i strongly recommend it to any one who has a nack for dropping or breaking things. it won't break. trust me.

sdk

Rishi, excellent comparison. but you missed one thing.. It has a active lens COVER for the camera, which the nokia dosent have...:-))

RishiGuru

Truly excellent mobile phone! I have one since January 2008 & man it rocks and beat's the Nokia 6300 by miles in every area except the display, Nokia has 2 million versus 256K colours of Sony Ericsson K550i. Other & versus features. - the best 2MP camera with Autofocus currently available in the market. - Great music player, crystal clear sound with thumping bass when used with walkman series headsets like HPM-75, also FM radio with RDS facility. - Lightning fast response time with 220 Mhz ARM9 processor & 64 MB inbuilt memory. - the best battery in its category (Li Poly, 950mAh) with which i can listen 24 hrs of nonstop music at full volume with a full battery charge. - the OS (software) is built on Java platform and uses Ahead of Time AOT compiler, so limitless compatibility with games & softwares. - Small, thin & light, I sometimes forget it's in my pocket. - Connectivity wise offers not only Bluetooth but also Infra-red port which is helpful to communicate with older mobile phones for data transfer. - No need to install driver CD's, just connect to the computer with the USB cable that comes with it & transfer music, videos, pictures etc to the phone & visa versa. - Lastly, it does very well for what it is primarily built for, excellent call reception, loud & clear. Deep technical details. - Sony Ericsson K550i has (Thin Film Diode) TFD screen instead of TFT. TFD consumes less power than TFT so better battery life and are brighter. - It uses Sony's patented M2 memory card rather than miniSD cards. Both are of nearly same size but M2 cards have much higher data transfer speed so the phone has faster response to user input. - It uses Lithium Polymer ion battery rather than Lithium ion, Li Poly is a superior technology (better safety, thinner) & will ultimately replace Lithium ion in near future. - K550i comes with Bluetooth supporting A2DP, a very important feature for music fans as it allows STEREO Bluetooth transmission to Bluetooth headsets. Verdict Steal this mobile (Sony Ericsson K550i) if you can (pun intended), but those looking for similar features at an even tighter budget look for Samsung J210 as it has all the features of this phone but pricewise comes 20% cheaper.

For better music experience (via headset) u must go to HPM 64 or HPM 70. MMC60 (stereo audio cable series) for a better music experience with your home/car audio sound system.

I have this phone about year and I liked so much. The battery is great (it's not like 6500 classic) it is standby about a week when I used it little,but when I used it a lot of it is standby about 4-5 days. This a perfect phone for everythig,like: games,speaking,foto and a lot of what it makes.

sdk

i bought a k550 last week n just loving it. pretty amazed about its sound quality with the headphone considering it is not a walkman series phone..still having some trouble with the key pad, but iam sure will get use to it soon.but the think thats worries me is the poor battery life. have to charge everyday and iam not a heavy user. all around it is a very good phone for the price...thats my conclusion ;-)

What i like about sony ericsson is that it doesn't want to prove anything... it's more like a lifestyle

I like to post opini

I will tell you the truth about this phone camera. This camera need enough light to produce good picture. In indoor where lack of light this camera will produce low quality picture. But at outdoor where there is enough light this camera will produce good picture NEAR digital camera quality. This camera equiped with auto focus feature so this will give you clearer and sharper picture. This camera also equiped with MACRO feature (short distance shot). Result of macro mode look impresive and sharp. While this feature activated you can take short distance foto from 2 to 5 cm.

Peace

K550i cybershot phone has high pic resolution den other two-megapixel phone...which is 1632x1224 whereas normal 2-megapixel phone has onli 1600x1200...see da difference...who cares for 3G...sme ppl can't even afford to use it...i mean da 3G charges...besides usin 3G brings lots of advantages, people cn see each other thru it..perhaps sumone might even show their own private part to others using 3G phone...Ewww...

Who cares about digital zoom or not? Thats a dumb feature, a simple explanation-> digital zoom = croping a section of the pic then expand it to desired size. i could easily do that on my pc using paint, pics will look much better than using digital zoom. IF U ARE REALLY GOOD AT MOBILE PHOTOGRAPHING (like me =D) u will notice how useless is digital zoom. i'd rather take a normal picture then zoom it in my pc. Hope my opinion will clear your f***ing mind.

SONY_ERIC_FAN

I thinks K530 would be a better choice against this model. Of course the auto-focus feature of this slim model stll wins but can it defend K530's 3G (secondary video call camera & internet speed of 384kb/s)..... & K530's speaker is very much louder. I'm not a K530/K550 owner by the way...... Just giving my personal opinion.

wlk

dont take the w580 2...

wlk

the K550 is good in camera while the W580 is good in sound. the camera, keypad, and the in-hand feel of W580 is quiet bad juz the screen and sound is good K550 juz at the normal rates.

wich phone is better sony ericsson s500i or the sony ericsson k550i?

jarrad

is the phone worth buying? please get back to me soon

Shakeel

The maximum internal memory of K550i is 2GB. In some sites could be display the wrong details. Therefore don't insert 4GB external memory, because it will damage your K 550's Software.

fairly 240x320 is much better than 176x220 (for detail display). but tfd screen have low battery consumtion.

What about the display quality of k550, hence it has TFD 256K colors only, whereas Nokia 3120 classic has TFT 16m colors. Somebody told me that TFT is much batter than TFD. Pleas post your opinion on the display quality and clarity of the above phones. Thanks in advance.

At number 3 maybe his/her M2 memorycard have a 3,000 plus photos inside the picture or camera album folder..!

John Mc Enroe

I think there is 2 possible problem: 1. Your M2 memory card fail to working properly or 2. Your K550 phone had internal electronic circuit damage. First you can try checking your M2. Remove it from your phone and insert it into USB memory card reader. Plug the card reader to your computer and try to open all file that you guess damage. If songs or picture look good and have no problem while playing with your computer so the problem might be on your phone. Try it

Of course sony ericsson a japan phone and a sweden phone = Japanese swedish phone.

about k550i vs 3120c vs 7210sn. is up to you...(u can read specifications of them). for me k550 is : 1. best buy (cheaper & rich feature). 2. auto focus at cam. 3. k550 is a nice java virtual machine. 4. edge network. 5. never hang in my hand 6. etc etc.

M2

plz...reinsert your m2 (again and again). also tried to save something on m2 again. try it...

K550 is best budget cybershot, about 7 months ago i bought it in just Pakistani Rs.9,600/-, still working well without any problem, sounds good in earphones, good camera, approximately three days battery time. it is much better than K530. But now in market available in Pakistani Rs.12,400/- due to sky rising price of US dollar.

W810i is more a all-rounder, focused on both camera and music were as K550i is focused on Camera more both have different features K550i being slimmer and lighter and camera centric makes it really COOL. W810 is still good but for camera and features for this price K550i is great

Anonymous

I bought the phone a couple of months ago and I've only used it half of the time. The reason: It has been under reparation the already three times. The problem is the first column of keys (1,4,7,*) when typing without T9. For instance, after pressing three times the key 4, instead of getting an "i" I get three times a "g". This happens randomly and it's very annoying. Besides that, the phone works perfectly, the camera is great and size and design are outstanding.

yo mem.

micro sd ??, k550 support M2 card...bro.

Jaggu

Its really great phone Sound,GPRS,Video is not bad, the camera is really fantastic .... Clear photos...nice.... This mob is worth for price

You can have a 8 gb micro sd card in it, but it can only read 4 of these 8 gb, trust me, i've tried. Even if i can't spell.

it's a good choice if u want 2 buy this phone...the camera quality is fine but the sound system is quite poor...but when u put on the head set...it will be super clear...just lovin it...

Well my conclusion is your headset is fake

Killem

Go to this site theres a tutorial to erase the banner, logo

Well if your rich buy 8gb M2 original memory card.

Killem

Well the sound quality of K550i is about 50% but when you hack your k550i using xs++ (darwin) it will become 80%. Put the sound driver of w880i to k550i and let hear it.

Serajur (Bangladesh)

Thanks for your comments! I tryed to compare according to your suggestions. But getting no difference. Would you mind comparing my headphone HPM-82 with yours: I forgot to tell that when listening music through it, I don't get equal volume music in both the earphones. The left earphone gives less sound. Is it normal? The seller told that it is normal although I didn't believe it. Can't use it for FM still now. Using HPM-82 for Music and HPM-64 for FM is annoying to me. I would appreciate your comments and also invites any body else to comment on mine's HPM-82 originality. It is made of china and bought at very cheap price ($10). Thanks again to All !!!!!!

This comparison is way unfair, K550/W610 aren't rival to N81/N81 8gb in music quality, N81 has a dedicated sound chip and 3.5mm jack, the speakers are louder and clearer, from headphones is much of the same story, it has punchy bass and great quality, the volume is also on higher levels. The only bad point are the bundled headphones on N81, they're very average quality, you must change them for a better headphones like a pair of Sennheiser or Sony, much better if they're in ear type. N81 has almost no competition in music quality, to give you an idea of the facts it defeated the W960 (Walkman flagship) both in speaker and headphone quality hands down. You can always check the comparison in mobile review

I m using K550i frm last 2months. Its a great phone for all. Camera is outstanding, music n FM radio also batter. Internet modem speed 20-25 kbps with Airtel, wap browser not so bad u can use 3rd party html browser like Opera, TeaShark etc. Screen should be more fine pixels like K790i although its good. Battery backup not so bad even it hv 950 mA bt u should charge it everyday. Software working outstanding. Its a best phone for just @6750/- in Indian market

Dulal

It's a common sense that if I pay more I will get better. I know it. Based on actual usage experience, can anybody compare K550i@W610i with Nokia N81/N81 8GB, in respect of music quality, clearness, loudness through speaker, bass through headphone? Does this phone produce better music compared to N81/N81 8GB? Reply, Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've owned my k550 now for 16 months with no problems whatsoever,It's a brilliant reliable little phone for those on a limited budget,Camera quality for the price is outstanding. As long as it doesn't go south on me I'm keeping it for the forseeable as I don't really fancy anything else out there in the price range I'm looking at.

k550i support 8GB (at lastest info.). but i still using 1GB M2 yet.

Theres a f****** technique t0 know if it is original 0r not. Get the original headset (hpm 64) compare it to the other headset. See the connector a. Metal gold (check) b. Wire color, discoloration (check) c. Flexibility of wire (check) d. SE logo at headset easily vanish or gone (check) e. Just see and inspect the original and the other headset. You will see the difference

Now I am enjoying much with my K550 flashed to W610. Using the original handsfree attached, I find nice mega bass. But reading comments about separate headset of HPM-70, HPM-77, HPM-82, HPM-85, I bought a new handsfree HPM-82. I got it in a plastic coated cover not in any finished box. It was lebeled made in china. It is most same as it looks in various seller's web. Sound quality I am getting is good but I am not too excited as I expected. It cost me only Tk. 700 ($10) which is very much lower than the other countries. The average price on the net is $35-$40. Now I am confused whether I have bought the original as produced from SE. I can listen music, music controller (call receive, play-stop, up-down volumn) works fine. But the radio reception is very bad. Almost no channel can be heared well. Whereas the original supplied with the K550, is awesome for radio as well as music. Can any user of HPM-82 help me telling the FM music quality through it? Where it was made of? Its loudness compared to the original headset supplied with the phone? Please reply. Thanks advance for your reply. I

how do you "flash it?"

K550ers

The answer is simple, i have gone through this. Have you recently changed your tone file names or something like that? Either revert it back or just simply delete it.. Your phone will back to its normal state. Apparently that SE has made the file that came along with the phone secured, so that it cannot be renamed or converted into something else, i guess :)

k550 i is not louder

Using this phone for a month. It's my first SE phone. Loving it. I am too much satisfied with the performance of this phone. One of my friend saw it and decided to buy immediately. After making calls from this phone, I don't find any option to know the call duration, call cost of the previous calls I made. Isn't there any way?

Can you please explain more about the adapter you bought to use 8 gb microSD card to work as SE m2 card? What's the brand of the adapter, is it available everywhere? At what price you bought the 8 gb microSD? I don't understand how an 8 gb microSD card be put in the place of m2 card in the phone memory. Please explain. Thanks!

Rajesh

Friends, this phone is a good performance phone on a budget. I purchased mine in Jakarta at USD 138. I purchased a adapter at USD 5/- which enables me to use 8 gb microSD card as a Sony Ericsson m2 card and works perfectly alright with K550i. I have put tons of music and videos and it plays so smoothly. I am surprised why in Nokia which contains 369mhz processor does not show videos so smoothly as this budget K550i plays. Surprised Nokia costs atleast twice the price of K550i and performance is half as good as SE K550i. When you click a picture with nokia Carl Zeis phones it takes about 2 seconds to save the picture but with this K550i it is in a blink. Sony Ericsson can sell such a high class technology at so low price. Hats Off.

NICKO

K550i still better.

j_king

I got mine 4 35pounds

the d-pad isn't great mine broke but the rest is fatastic

then you should use the numbers on the key pad to navigate around.. i'd rather have one joystick to be uncomfortable, than to have all the buttons uncomfortable ie. k550i. edge is not that much of a draw-card. its speed isnt that much different. k550i is an utter dissapointment.

K750 is not support edge network. k550 had better d-pad than k750's joystick. After 2 week used the keypad come confortable to me. k550 support A2DP. When u need better than this (k550 standart), u must modding to k550@w610. K550 is really good, look at: k550 is number 8 and number 1 by SE.

the buttons are uncofortable, and too fragile. camera is good, bit does not live up to expectations, and the sound id putrid, in comparison to k750i (both cam and sound)... really dissapointed with this edition... lokking to swop with a k750i, as i sold mine just before i bought this one.

Just two complaint: - they should figured a way to make the bluetooth headset work with fm RADIO. you can only hear the radio with the wired headset bcoz the wire is the antenna. - nighttime photography is not an option since the flash is not bright enough (LED) and the internal brightness control screws up the picture color. great photo when enough lighting.

The One

Truly excellent mobile phone! I have one since Jan'08 and man it beat's the Nokia 6300(Rs.7500) by miles in every area except the display, Nokia has 240 x 320 pixels vs. 176 x 220 pixels of Sony Ericsson K550i. Other +ve features: 1) the best 2MP camera with Autofocus currently available in the market. 2) Good music player, descent sound, FM radio with RDS. 3) Lightning fast response time. 4) The best battery in its category (Li-Poly, 950mAh) - 24hrs of non stop music at full volume in a full battery charge phew!! 5) The OS (software) is built on Java platform, so limitless compatibility. 6) Small, thin and light, I sometimes forget it�s in my pocket. 7) Connectivity wise offers not only Bluetooth but also Infrared port which is helpful to communicate with older mobile phones for data transfer. 8) No need to install driver Cd's, just connect to the computer with the USB cable that comes with it and transfer music, videos, pictures etc to the phone and vice-versa. 9) Lastly, it does very well for what it was primarily built for, excellent reception during calls, loud and clear. Deep technical details: 1) SE K550i has (Thin Film Diode) TFD screen instead of TFT. TFD consumes less power than TFT so better battery life. 2) It uses Sony's patented M2 memory card rather than miniSD cards. Both are of nearly same size but M2 cards have much higher data transfer speed so the phone has faster response to user input. 3) It uses Lithium Polymer ion battery rather than Lithium ion, Li-Poly is a superior technology (better safety, thinner) and will ultimately replace Lithium ion in near future. 4) K550i comes with Bluetooth supporting A2DP, a very important feature for music fans as it allows STEREO Bluetooth transmission to Bluetooth headsets. Verdict: Buy it! I got it for Rs.6800.

In mid range K550i is the best. if you can buy than Nokia 5610, 6500, N81, N82 is the bests but that's price little high. Nokia is leading brand man. K550i is my first sony ericsson phone. i am not enough satisfied about its hearing sound quality. that's little tinny. its talk time almost 3 and half hours. but company said its talk time 7 hours. in this condition nokia much honest.

i think u r Sony ericsson fun.i'm using K550i phone. this is best in this price(Valu for money). You can not get Nokia Mobile with all this option in this price. this is not enough good as u said. i think u didn't touch Nokia Hi-tech mobile. that's so rich for that's performance. K550i display is not bad but under sun light have to try too see. sound not bad but not enough rich. camera is good at normal light condition but night mood could not work properly. SAR is high from nokia. it is bad for health. Hearing sound is not enough smooth like nokia. Nokia N95 N96 N81 is great phone. try to use. i am also using Nokia N81 8GB.

Hey...k550 is one of the best phone ever made from SE. K550i is the LEADER of A100 UI. K550i standart is number 8 in the world and number 1 by SE (right now). k550i modded version is a evolution, when you need more better.(i mean will be superb...).

Sara

I'm confused here, some people say that sound quality is poor, some others say it's good, now, who should i believe? loool :P By the way does anyone support me on buying this phone? Is it good and easy to use?

Yasir

Worst ever phone i have ever bought i switched from Nokia 6300 to SE k550 because to check how SE family is but it is my worst experience Camera oldest ever no pic quality Phone keys are wearing out although i have used it for3 months only Four way navigation colour gone Phone songz transfer rate is slow Speaker has been blasted off and a freaky sound comes from it Market rate too low that no one wants to buy this phone So called cybershot is not a real cyberhot It is a camera of 1mp only for me after a picture quality worst tag I think if some one can tell me which phone i must buy to satisfy myself to have a good review about Sony Ericsson family But phone must have a four way navigation and must be in mid prices of this phone Waitn 4 replz Yasir Ahmed Pakistan

Yes You CAN mute an incoming call by pressing the #(number or sharp) key under the number 9 key

If you dont have a pc. K550i can do it! Somebody posted here Take a snap shot photo. After that go to file manager then 'camera album' select the picture you want press the 'landscape' button then press the number 1 button key or the sound volume key (lowering sound) it will have a sequence 1x 1.2x 1.5x 2x 3x 4x 8x 16x 32x select any that suit your taste and press the save button choose the 'large' option to make it 1600x1280

FIXED

Yes, u can do it (zoom at 1MP and 2MP mode). after taking picture only. save your picture and load again (at landscap display you can zoom the picture with a 3 key ).

super__saiyan

Correction:w800 can zoom in 2mp mode.surprisingly k750 cant yet we call it d best 2mp fon eva made.dats completely wrong.its w800 which is d best 2mp(cybershot + walkman)fon eva made.it is truly a masterpiece.i cant believe i sold it 4a nokia.i was st-pid.

FIXED

When u need more louder than this (k550 standart), plz...go for a modded version. in modded you can get better sound and 30% more louder than standart sound. k550 @ w660 + w880's sound driver.

See the picture quality of camera here; you can't zoom at 2mp even the k750i, w610i, w800 can't zoom. Somebody posted here Who cares about digital zoom or not? Thats a dumb feature, a simple explanation-> digital zoom = croping a section of the pic then expand it to desired size. i could easily do that on my pc using paint, pics will look much better than using digital zoom. IF U ARE REALLY GOOD AT MOBILE PHOTOGRAPHING (like me =D) u will notice how useless is digital zoom. i'd rather take a normal picture then zoom it in my pc. Hope my opinion will clear your mind.
