It was such a superior phone. It is tiny and well built. Such old phones were awesome. They were of different designs and styles. Sony's phones looked like they are music themselves. Today we have just flat phones. :(

  • thanks to sony ericssion to launch this headset.i think this was the best phone ever,seamless audio quality both in headphone and outer speaker. I was really appriciated with this headset.but the problem was it stores 50 songs only.no matter,but dedicated game keys,display quality,arrangement of the all buttons was very good.like camera key,volume key,gamming key,shutdown key and the navigation key on the upper flap.due to this all features i buoght five headset. two set W550i, two set W750i and one W205i was the last phone now using nokia E63 but its not like sony ericssion. So ultimately i request to sony ericssion to relaunch the headset with more latest features,like youtube,latest browser with good speed,flash player,word exel etc. Thank you!

  • In which stores phone is available Please answer me

  • i just love this phone

  • it was worth it buying the phone with your all salary that is a phone if the would make a new advanced i would go for i used that phone 2 years no problem

  • bought this phone with my first salary... best phone i ever had... worth every penny... the sound volume that this mobile phone can generate is just mind boggling... sound quality is superb... built like a rock... even though it's a swivel phone, it never hangs, never broke down...

  • how many years does an original battery last for this model. whats the cos of new battery - original and duplicate in mumbai, india. does duplicate battery work properly

  • Is this a smartphone or just a feature phone like Nokia's S40 lineup during its time?

  • I really like this phone. It provides me a "no drama policy". It may well be outdated by today's standards, but nowadays every smartphone almost looks the same. This phone is simple, attractive and superbly built. One thing, it doesnt have a memory slot for additional data storage, otherwise this could have been an excellent phone.

  • Superbly attractive phone! I remember a few years ago, i used to borrow it everytime from my teacher during break time then just stare and explore the phone. Wonderful! Its just an epic!

  • From where did u bought this mobile? I am also want to buy the same. I leally love this phone. I was the used this long back. But unfortunately I lost it.

  • every guy who got W550i will jus love this mobile more than ther galfrnd i bet u all. Its music playback both in headphones n loud speaker is simply superb. Thanks for sony ericsson v all blessed with w550i.

  • This phone is very nice, durable , the drawback is NO MEMORY

  • Great Phone..... Bought it new, But Old Stock.... Great Performance, Good Screen, Tough Phone (Drop it Twice, and accidentally step on it X_X) Great Sound... Only drawback Little SMS memory and No Ext.Memory Slot.... X_X

  • Ah! the swivel phone! I simply adored this phone! I sold mine to a needy friend about 2 years ago after using it for quite some time. It never gave me a day's trouble. This phone was very durable as it dropped several times and came off with nothing but a slight scratch across the screen. It went through 2 vehicle accidents with me, and called help in each occasion. The "handle" looking bar across the top was also a great way to hand around the neck when working. It never froze, it always had perfect reception (taking into account that we live in a "dead-zone") used it as a modem on the pc - slightly slower than adsl, but we got the job done!

  • A szinek nem jok sárga szinek vannak beérkező üzenetkor csak fehér folt van az üzenetek nem látszanak. Miért?

  • a színezése nem megfelelÅ�,elment a szín, a sárga, és a többi is halvány így a betűk sem olvashatok, csak kis mértékben,vagy egyáltalán nem, pl a beérkezett üzeneteknél, csak egy fehér képernyÅ�.

  • I've had this phone for over 4 years.2 big speakers which make this phone become the greatest walkman phone of SE and it's the sweetest phone of all time. I love u W550i u make me know what true walkman phone is.love ya forever!!!

  • i had this phone for 3 years n never had serious problems, quick response n it sound via phone speaker is loud, but now this phone is too primitive,and now i have SE W980,its more rocker than W550, bravo sony ericsson walkman phone!!

  • I honestly do note like this phone #1 the headphones do not work properly! #2 its OLD #3 the buttons are annoying #4 it has the worst connection ever.. I can't have a proper conversation without the it crackling and making noises.. I don't know what you people are on about when i read all these posts saying how amazing it is >_

  • I bought a nokia 6234(nokia 6233 for Americas) 3 days ago (second hand) i was exceptic about se w550 vs nokia 6233 about wich one is the loudest, well this is my conclusion: Se W550 Vs nokia 6233 Conditions: - Same mp3 file, at same bitrate. - Equalizer: Normal mode. - Volume: level 3. I found that in normal conditions the se W550 is five times louder than nokia 6233 in similar conditions. So the LOUDEST is W550 by far. No cellphone can beat W550 untill this day, dont sell our w550 cuz this is a true master piece, the best Sony ericsson ever made!!

  • i'm using this phone since 4 & 1/2 years still love it as much as i brought 1st day. Memory is the main disadvantage. It creates the w550i generation. A person hear once this phones sound, no other phone can satisfy his desire & i bet on it!!!!!!!

  • you cant have this phone 7 years because now is 2010 and this phone created 5 ago 2005 whats is you? A man from future :o

  • 9000? I bought w550i for 2500 only.. brand new.. dat's not the price of the said unit nowadays...

  • Hi, U can buy this from me & u just nd to pay 9000

  • it is my phone it is beutefull

  • Its a gem of all!! M using w550i for 3 n half years now,n had no problems.M not even thinking of buying a new phone or selling this one..but only disadvantage is the absence of Memory Card slot!!!But still, i feel proud to be a w550i owner..!!

  • mine 7 years still working. best phone ever. quality is good. sounds is excellent and loud. this phone rocks.

  • This is my 4th phone (after Moto C650). It's my first: music/radio-phone, Bluetooth & Ir-capable, credit card purchase, java. Superb phone, nice speakers. Loved that it's frame/housing is interchangeable easily. I installed a lot of Java apps til it hangs and need to restart. LOL! Survived with me from Dec 05 til June 07, when I switched to Moto Razr V3XX.

  • i m using this mobile from last 3 yr, i have lotoff option for new moblie , but still i dont want to change this, i love my this mobile,

  • I loved this phone when i had it. the texture of the orange cover was great, sound quality was fantastic and even game play was good. Of all the phones i have owned over the years (including certain touch screen phone) the W550 was the best ever.

  • this phone is really awsome . i LOVE this phone coz of its music player , this phone can defeat any walkman phone . thx

  • When i think back to the handsets that i used to have this is the one i remember the most, a fantastic phone. Felt solid in the hand and in use. User interface was a corker. How i wish that SE still made it but with upgradable memory and a 3mp camera, i'd be one happy chappy

  • i agree. this was my best mobile. the speaker was very good and easy to use.

  • Hi everybody,for me this is the best handset that i ever have for now, although Sony Ericsson has stop producing this model it still has the BEST QUALITY IN SOUND SURROUND especially when i output to the external speakers. I was amazed by the sound it produces. Everyone must agree when i said that the memory is too low but for me at this time it will do. I wish that Sony Ericsson will produce and launch this model again with 3G and a slot for external memory card. Lastly thank you Sony Ericsson for Launching this model.

  • Hey Nisha U can download songs from www.songs.pk for free.. Bye T.C........

  • I bought this mobile as it was launched. This is my lucky mobile.

  • I am using this phn for last 3 years. And this is nw also going on......... This is my first one and best phone. now I am deciding to buy another phone. but I will keep it ever. thanks sony ericsson to launch this.

  • it is really very very super, specially in mizik. but it has a messaging memory proplem.it just saved 122 messages and then it can warn messaging memory full. otherwise it still very good :)

  • i miss my phone.. i love sonny ericson esp this unit!

  • i've been using this phone last 2 years from now.. and i want to thanks sony ericson since i appreciate the walkman style,its so nice.. i miss this phone..

  • i realy thankful to sony ericssionabout w550i.

  • Ive had mine for nearly 5 years now and its just entering the end of its life but before now, Ive never wanted another phone. It was perfect. Had they nod discontinued them I would have bought another.

  • Would want to say that they should release a same model as this one but with advanced stuffs, like a memory card slot(to increase memory), Maybe a bit higher MP cam. And other stuffs you can add in. But keep the design as it is.

  • Not much of an opinion but a question. Can I like put an SD micro card[SD memory card] On this phone? And if not so, can I buy the phone with much greater internal memory?

  • All I can say is...Amazing! I've had this cell phone for alomst 5 years and it's still in perfect condition, although I had to change the battery once because it the cell phone fell in the pool, only the battery, nothing happened to the cell phone itself. But, I am going to buy the Aino and sell this because it's very old now

  • Used it for 3 years. Super phone, no battery problem, can be used roughly. Finally now its got some problem, only problem i have is its keypads(0,5),Volume increase, and the central select keys not working.when i checked with sony service they charged me 1600RS(Indian Currency) to repair it. Anyways 3 yrs i didnt have any problem

  • Nice phone with all necessary features ,very cool looks & esp the sound is mind bolwing in both earphones & loudspeaker..... The only problem is it's 256mb shared memory which is good for nothing......

  • This is the best phone that I have ever bought so far. I've been using it for around 5 years and it's still as good as ever. Unfortunately, I have to sell it now though because it has become outdated.

  • nice phone..i can't sell it but lack of memory i want to buy new 1..pls.tell me which 1? budget is 5000-8000...any company..pls..tell

  • Exellent phone..used it 3 yrs..battry is still working after i used it 6 hrs almost in a day 4 listen songs..no other problem..256 inbuit memory nd no expandable is not gud.. but never sell it.. 1>superb sound quality with 3 powerfull speakrs 2>very nice for gaming.. 3>good camera & video result..Specially very good result when u watch it in ur pc with transfer data thru USB.. 5>torch light,copy-paste text,minimize applications..r other good features..

  • This was one of the best phones i have ever had.Very trustworthy but going to sell it now..Used it almost 4 years..

  • I've had this phone for 2 months already. I have no complaints! The camera wasn't spectacular, but I lived with Nokia 3200 [with 0.3MP camera!!] and I can definitely live with 1.3MP :). People gawk at my phone whenever they saw me swivel it around, they seem to forget that this phone existed years ago. They thought it was a new model.

  • hi guys good phone,only problem is that the headset jack will get complaint and 256mb memory is too low now a days to use.this is my true experiance

  • I m using it since several years. And i had never saw any mob. which compete this phone in music. Its muzic is awsome.

  • I've worked some years repairing mobile phones and this is the best built phone I've ever seen. I have it for 4 years now.

  • well,. the LCD of W550 is sooo easy to be damaged.. all u see in the screen is white.. and maybe because of the phone itself.. because of the turning-turing of it or what i mean is when you open the phone you need to turn it first and it was turned/opened and it was 'naipit' in my pocket and the LCD was already damaged..

  • excellent phone.very cute.amazing sounds

  • its not working properly the key pads r not working plus the phone automaticaly swich off when ever i m having a talk why so pls tell what to do

  • to bumbi(or watever), w550i beats the hell out of n73me.n73 sound distorts and the music quality is worst .it makes noise and not produce music. w550i has the sound superior to n95 also and u r talking bout n73.go see ur face in mirror and then write a review.

  • Who says ne one compare Nokia 5300 & Nokia 5310 to Sony Ericsson w550? Ok i compare & I'm using Nokia 5300 1month & i use Nokia 5700 Headphone in Nokia 5300 & u know????? Sound is perfect n it's betterr sound (in Headphone) then w550 n same Headphone i used Nokia 6300, Nokia 3110 & Nokia 5200 & sound is same & perfect but average wised Sony w550 is best of other company model. Design = 8/10 Used = 9/10 Looks = 9/10 Sound = 9/10 Battery Life = 10/10 Problem = 0/10 I'm using many Nokia & Sony Ericsson Cell. 1st) Sony j210i 2nd) Sony k300 3) Sony k310 4) Nokia 5200 5) Nokia 3230 6) Sony w550 7) LG Dynamite kg300 8) Nokia 6233 9) Nokia 3110 10) Nokia 6270 11) Nokia 5300 12) Nokia Sony w550 13) Nokia 6300 14) Sony w810 15) Sony w550 (now using 1month). All this phone i used n i know which model is better then other but i still miss My Nokia 3110, why i sell this model i don't know? I'm mad coz my greatest model i sell but My favourate cell Sony w550 n then Nokia 3110. When u used w550 n some one saw u n she/he thinking dat's da perfect sell some one use & mostly think it's sooooooo cute. I love w550 & i love Sony Ericsson & i Pray for Sony Ericsson. Ok guys bye & take care God bless all of u include me. (Sorry For My English) Mobile's King Sony Ericsson w550.

  • Ye say dis phone loudest! My bro has dis phone but my nok n73 blows it away, easy

  • i love dis fone, i have been using this for about 2 years and 3 months already and up to now its still functioning well... The speakers are the loudest of the loudest...

  • I absolutely love that phone,its the best in sound only problem is picture quality. SE is the best. Im a fan

  • Hello, I owned this fon for almost 3years na..damn...its d best fone for me in terms of sound!... d'loudest sound ever heard.. what lacking is that low memory ..i suggest SE should release fon like this in terms of sound quality. durability, picture pixel..thnks SE ur the best..... bhours from philipppines.. +639193942058

  • it'ss the loudest fhone i'dd ever listened in maa life both on loudspeakers and headset's and the mega bass sound'ss justt awesome..., it's only problem is it'ss memory which is too low only 256mb & i don'tt know what to do abt it but anyway'ss maa advice for the se engineer's is that to make a sequel of the phone andd plzz give a mmc card slot and a 2mp camera to the phone after that i promise that no phone in it'ss class will be able to beat this phone..........

  • exactly,u just need a firmware upgrade to turn the classic n70 into the me.if u use power mp3 then it may stand a chance if cant beat the best music phones in the market.power mp3 player is far better than the built in music player of n70.yet symbians r symbians.thanks for the comparison...im convinced that se are the best in music.throw away the cams n pull out the speaker ;-) n plug in the earphones.....

  • Oh think you've got a wrong phone when music is your concern coz N70ME is not really a music phone... the difference with the classic one and ME is that ME can hold a lot of size mem card compare to the classic the player is still the same...

  • hi. well sony ericsson phones are way better than nokia. at least to which i have owned. i like the symbian operating system too. i'm soon gonna upgrade to p1i or better yet a symbian operating system on the music phone series. 5300 is a good phone. small and handy but i doubt the sliding mechanism from nokia. i've heard that their flex are sucky. 5310 is a good phone too but it doesn't attract me that much. looks like a redefined 6300. and the 5610 is another good phone with 3g and everything. almost all the features you would look for is there. but all of them runs in series 40 of nokia and most them depreciates it's value easily except for those that has good built like the nokia 8800 and the same.

  • umm...i never used a SE phone.well thats the first one i got n thatz really a kuul music phone. im crazy 4 music n thats why i got a n70 ME for music but i had to listen to this orange once n ............ vaula....itz the phone 4 me. a lotta ppl say thats the best music phone ever released by SE. can any1 compare it with the 5300 5610 n 5310 nokia models ............????? as far as i have found thats far better than n70 me or any digital mp3 player. music play n talktime is amazing...... im impressed. thats a pity that i used to be a hardcore nokia user .... n never considered se before.I prefer symbians for the applications thats true but i also knew thats gotta be a SE for music.....yeahhhhh ************************* for W550i

  • It is one of the best sound SE phone!! Its a Legend, in terms of innovativeness, along with T68i, K500i , W750i, W850i and W980i. The sound is loud and sharp with no distortion and the UI is instantaneous. BTW, its still working great since i've bought it in 2004~~ Great Job!! SE~~

  • hi it may be that your memory is full or your camera may be damaged.

  • for prakash: the fone has a 1.3 megapixle camera with digital zoom and flashlight it can take video,it also has a mp3 player java gaming.loud stereo speakers and FM radio and oh yeah it has 256mb of internal memory but no card slot and melody maker.

  • it is a really good fone i've had it for about 1 and a half years until i dropped it in a sinkfull of water then it went bust but it was a good fone overall loud speakers!!!!!!!

  • mine was prolly from the first batches out of the factory..have had it since 2005. the system connector has given me probs soooo many times that i've lost count.the earbuds/charger/data cable wont work anymore.the charger does but only after i've adjusted it like 3458354 times...now the phone only works for recieving/sending messages and making calls. even the camera has stopped working.and the phone restarts/shuts down whenever it feels like. this has turned out to be a really bad experience for me.and i swear to god i'll never buy a SE again.

  • Yeh it's never let me down! Had it for 2 years 'n it's good as new!

  • I have had this phone for 2 years 2months. Have dropped it so many times that I have totally lost count. While it does have srcatches on it (hey i mean I dropped it quite a bit). The phone still works well, I am not a lisder phone fan but I LOVE, ADORE ericsson. The only thing that would make me leave ericsson was to get a cute slim phone with the same or better props. I am considering the samsung d900i. But will still keep my SE for mu other SIM card. AWESOME battery life

  • I it's the best fone by far for me coz de musiq is loud & i have been using dis fone 4 de past 2 years. My hole family is using sonnyeric fones & their happy abt it

  • i bought this phone 2 years ago and made it fall so many times but this mobile is so hard that there is not a single scratch!! it has all features and is the best mobile ever seen. the melody is nice but missing clearity in the camera

  • LOVE the phone. but it just lacked the exp memory. but i had to give it up bec of the LCD. i was getting fuzzy lines.

  • it wil be perfect if there's more memory ...too bad ^^

  • i love dis fone.i cant live widout dis

  • i love this phone very very very much...... i love sony ericson w550 in all aspects

  • yea im using tis fon for more than a year.i bought it 4m my fren..i luv da sound system but if it oni hv more memory it will b da best..but i hv a prob now.my lcd was damage.its bcoz of human damage.ive already change da lcd but it is not like da original 1.how can i find da ori lcd???

  • I think it is the finest phone i would have ever seen . its excellent, has all types of facilities. also the sound volume is marvellous. its a very strong mobile which i am using for one and a half years!!!

  • i think sony erricsson's engineer's have lost their minds in the crap while making of this phone that'ss why they gave it only 256 mb shared memory........ i hate this phone and the engineer's both it'ss justt a piece of crap so plzz dontt buy it if u have mind'ss in u

  • sony ericsson walkmans are usualy unreliable and this mob is no exeption.

  • its the best i ever had its so strong! you can do anything to this phone but you cant break its LCD or camera . never!

  • this is the best phone i ever own, i want to buy a new since my old one is broken(U)

  • I've been using it for almost 2 years and for me it's a reason to buy a SE again mainly because of solidity!(Although I've turned to nokia 5310) + nice display, apparently solid/long lasting (it has had it's many falls and it still looks/works like new), sound, fast, strong flash light(yes,it saved me a couple of times). - the microphone!!!!I mean, when I speak to others it's like I'm on a party...it's annoyingly loud!, lack of memory expansion, swing design isn't so practical after all(for me), organiser-->not so good, at least compared to nokia. As for how many messages it can store, I don't know the exact amount, but it sure keeps a lot (currently I have 46 sent, 35 received and still counting) and has never message me about full memory...hope this helps

  • its an amazing phone but the the imaging quality at night is really poor

  • i have this phone since 2006 and boy i love!!! it's really gr8 in all aspects!! but the only problem is it's memory :( that it's only 256M.B...... so i guess it's time to upgrade to w850i yaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!

  • This phone is outstanding at everything but the swivel gets annoyying to open and close again and again but it really impresses others. the camera layout makes it look so proffessional with the embedding and stuff but the internet button is at the front so i accedently press it again adn again so i get charged 15 cents for each page damn! and the speakers man they are soooo nuce i love them so much they really make the impact and i love the extra A & B buttons at the top it makes it look like a proffesional gaming system or something. lol. and the problem that everybody says about white screen after music download i think is normal for all phones . if u have it on file transfer mode and exit everything then disconnnect the USB cable it urns off. but it poses no problems u can just turn it on again and the music is clear in there. it is soooo awsome. But discontinued so u can't buy it anymore. oh well. thats my review enjoy and cheers

  • I have to admit, ive never actrually owned this phone, my friend had one...and at the time i owned nokia 6280 (not a bad phone) My friend let meplay with his se 550....My god this is not only a beautiful looking fone, its wonderfully constructed. The slide mechanism is fantastic, miles better than the 6280 i had. it feels good in your hand.... Mp3 player, brilliant clear sound, loudspeaker is great... camera is pretty good. I envied my friend for a long tiome when he had this phone.. never bought one, but in the short space of time i used it...would highly recommened it...even now

  • it is very very very good phone!!! i have two!! so must buy ok!!! thx sony!

  • any procedure to expand memory in it

  • how to see the call duration

  • It's a great phone, extremely reliable, great features, a typical SE top Quality handset. Lack of external memory has been no problem to me, i find that i don't use the music features very often witth an ipod aswell. The build quality is very sturdy, the swivel is EXTREMELY strong, never moved an inch over its mark, and no loose-ness of any kind, after 6 months of practically constant use and open-shut etc. The keypad is suprisingly easy to text on, once you get used to it, and very fast, NO LAG! User interface is very fast, not bugs what so ever, interchangable plates is great, its a pity few phones have this now. great, loud ringtones and a FANTASTIC locking feature on the side. Seriously, something as simple as the key lock i wouldnt normally comment on, but its just a slick flick of this switch and your all good. never come unlocked like other phones cough *nokia* cough. Sony Ericsson make purely fantastic phones, ive owned nokias, moto's, Siemens (which, thank god, no longer exist), panasonic and Samsungs, all of which are no comparison to Sony Ericsson for reliability and practicality. This is my 5th SonyEricsson, and as ive had it for 6 months, im now looking to upgrade...too yes, you guessed it, another Sony Ericsson!

  • no affence but dis fone is so ugly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i've been using this phone for almost one and a half year, and now the phone screen color suddenly changed, looks like (negative film)... but is cool, i like the color.

  • I've been using this phone for almost 2 years! It has fell on different grounds more than 20X and it's good as ever. Few scratches, no other problems at all! Ocasionally the screen freezes especially when it's on vibrate mode. Even when I pick the call up it still keeps vibrating unless the battery is removed. Will freeze if too much application going on, such as Walkman. Pros: Loud Speaker Cons: Camera & Card Slot

  • Lucas, there was no suggestion or idea on the user manual to format the battery, that's why I didn't do it. And never thought it would be a good idea to increase the performence. Thanks for the advice though.

  • This phone is coowool. I've been using it for two yrs now and still works fine. Yeah I know, the speakers are a little bit jazzy, but everything else is almost perfect. It lacks only two things, No. 1: Memory Card slot, No. 2: Wi-fi. And I hate touch screen. So dont think touch screen would've made it better.

  • Hey, speakers are built in 3 of them Left Back and Front, there's one more behind the piece, but i don't know what's for.

  • hey man do we get the loudspeakers with the phone or do we have to buy them separately.

  • YES.. This Sony Ericsson Walkman is Bomb with 3 BOMBASTIC SPEAKERS. i always keep the Equalizer Bars to the Maximum to get the most out of them.

  • My Review : i hate to keep headphones in my ear all the time Thats why...yesterday I baught this great walkman fone w550i for just Rs.12,000 PKR. The music is Really Loud. It has 3 built-in speakers. One on the Front, one on the Right and one at the back side of the phone. I Love it. The Radio with RDS is Fantastic, Obviously very Loud and Clear. But its not a good deal if you want a camera phone, its a walkman that provides you Loud and Clear Music thru its speakers. When we talk about Games, "Impressive Graphics with really Loud Background Sound".

  • this phone is really kewl ..... i have this phone sine 1 year i really love this phone....sound and loudspaeker is awesome .... i really advise all music lovers to have this phone...

  • i've been using it for 1 year.. the sounds is nice.. compatible for all kind of network even in my country... but one problem i have for this unit... it's hard to operate a internet connection through mobile..... can you help me? i'l wait for your reply through my email..

  • best phone ever had,i have change this phone with a n70 music edition,and i'm soryy,the speker is the loudest ever senn at a mobile,pictures are good,it plays movies in fullscrenn veri good quality,the bluetooth is very fast,now i'm ooking for another w550i ,i don't wan't any mobile,the speakers are much loude and very clear and good quality than n70 me,i trully recomand this phone to someone

  • Rockey: Did u format the battery when u first got it. I know formating battery was mandatory on NiMh batteries and is not on Li-Ion or Li-Po, but still it would have been a good idea to do 3-4 full cycles on the battery when new.

  • this call is very beautiful but the folt of this cell is folding it shape is very beautiful .i love this sound. so thank you.

  • This is the one of the best phones sony ericsson has ever made. The best part of it, it lets me go online for FREE, I never had to pay for it (lol) when my brother is having trouble with his N90. haha. I love the voice quality, especially with the earphone thingi. But the battery works fine for first year. Then it starts giving trouble. Recommend it to anybody.

  • Lg Chocolate... does not compare to this phone dude. It is like comparing a night in hotel with a night in a barn(LG) :) Cheers. Besiedes if it woz zo kewl u shld bought it diude.

  • ma pal got dis fone for hur birthdai nd i thoght it wos reallyy kwl. da games wer superb nd so wos evrythin else. i wanted 2 get da same fone but i culdnt find it so i got an LG choc instead - nd im happy wit ma fone :D

  • For all the people that isn't okay with the sound, check the equalizer in the W menu, that will do the job if you tune it well. Greetz from holland !

  • i have this phone buti dot know about sound qulity of this phone.

  • Hi i brought this fone 3months back, Its a damn gud fone , i loved its features, its speakers ar mindblowing WOW!!!

  • Can anybody plz tel me how to improve the sound quality of this phone? It's giving scratchy sound these days.

  • I bought it 6 months back. But now a days i'm noticing that the sound from the speakers is scratchy most of the times. Can anybody help me? I visited customer care as well, but i didn't attain full satisfaction. Otherwise i must tell u this cellphone is the best in it's range and i won't resale it at any cost. I just luv it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ... and my review has been cut, again, what i was going to say is phone is sensational, really amazing and while there are faster, lighter, slimer, etc... phones out there, this one is somewhat special. cheers.

  • Long time motorola fan. I have bought this fone for my gf. I was so impressed by it that i kept it for my self (selfish bastard me) and bought another one for her

  • @ REZA The third loudspeaker is located underneath the earpiece grill !! but its sound output is low..that's why you might not notice that it's there :-)

  • HELP HELP HELP i have recorded video clip of max. lenght,and now i can't open it either on phone or on computer. in folder containing file phone gave me 2 more additional files with .TMP extension. I do not know what to do. Can anyone can help me ? ANSWER ANSWER ANSWER ;) I will help you, i had the same problem : send it to some one by bluetooth, then send it to a bluetooth computer, mostly it will work then

  • Someone said that there is a problem with the bluetooth, and indeed. I think becouse it's a 2.0, most of the time i can't even reach someone 10 meters away from me. Even though, i love the phone, i have it for almost 2 years now, works fine for me !

  • This phone is amazing, very reliable, loud, picture quality is ok and im impressed with the design of the Walk & Talk.

  • I love this phone. When it goes I go! Nothing can beat the battery life of this phone!

  • I have this phone for more than a year and it's ok in most of the cases , but there are some problems with the bluetooth and the software is not quite greate, otherwise it a super phone. The 1.3 mp camera it's even gr4eater in the day light , but in the night is doing some awful pictures , actually it doesn't make any pictures. The phone it's ok but I think that it would be better if you'll buy a NOKIA.

  • i have a w550i but there are 2 speaker in it and i dont find third one who can say to me where is the third one?

  • no memory card darling,its built-in at 256Mb,shared memory. got to say,it has stereo speakers and well,the rotation style is nice. camera not so good.tuner good options if you run out of songs. diode makes taking pictures in dark places possible.can even use as sos emergency light. too bad,it aint any better than the s700i.

  • wat type of memory card does this phone have?--*chris*

  • HELP HELP HELP i have recorded video clip of max. lenght,and now i can't open it either on phone or on computer. in folder containing file phone gave me 2 more additional files with .TMP extension. I do not know what to do. Can anyone can help me ?

  • good

  • Hi, Can anyone tell me what is "Disk to Phone" option available in this Phone. Pls !

  • this is one of the original walkmanphones...

  • I have been using this phone for 1.5 years and I think this much time is sufficient to judge the quality and faults in the phone. Its been the longest that i have kept a phone and i am least bored with this one Sound quality: the Best in the industry that I have tried and with megabass and stereo widening its awsome(better than any Walkman series phones still available) and not to mention the revolutionary earphones it introduced they are just brilliant. Camera is good if you see its been almost two years since the launch of this phone and at that time it was good enough for 1.3 Mpx and still its ok. Internal memory is 256 mb and its ok if you keep on changing tracks in your phone. battery life is also good. gaming experience is also very good infact its the games which help me kill my spare time alot. For some doubts by people over the swivel, the swivel works perfectly unless you mistakenly sit on, press the phone with the handset fully open, then also there are few screws inside which get loose and the swivel dont rotate properly, try not to press heavily the phone or avoid any kind of heavy loading on the phone when open. Even if u get the swivel loose just get the screws tightened and it will work perfectly. GPRS It lacks EDGE and nothing can be done about that. If someone desperately needs EDGE than probably look for other options.

  • To answer the question of if this phone gets loose or shaky after twisting...I am the type of person who plays with phones like no other. I twisted this thing all the time. And still it never broke. It was an amazing phone. It just died in water by accident, so that's why I was forced to get another. Love this phone. May be old, but amazing. And will always be worth a lot on the market.

  • Ive had to return it in several times, the build quality is shabby, the slide lock mechanism is a disaster and every time i take it out i find its called someone randomly or searched the internet a bit with also the very inconvenient internet button placed on front. It is a terrible phone and id recommend noone to buy this poor quality phone.

  • It was the only phone i was dying to buy.....when its manufacturing had stopped....but when i got this phone ...i felt on the top of the world...what a sound it produces...i have even operated nokia 5700 xpress music...though that phone is quite good enough in some issues with w550i but only one issue where sony shades over is : sound quality and loudness.....thats what a SE phone means...is'nt it???

  • look 3D blaster is available on various sites but you will have to pay for that...paying on the internet as ever is not safe..you will have to pay $3.20 to get this software on the net and on other hand you will have to pay %2.50 with 30% chance of bargaining tthe whole amount..from a mobile repairing and installation shop..I got the software installed on my cute w550i that way...and today girls look amazingly when i play the music on the phone.......so i got that software installed that way....its now over to u people ....lolz!!!

  • great phone!!!!! love it!!!! coocl megabas vith herphones. normal camera and cool for games....

  • an old phone but a great phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hey dj tell me the software i want to install it i have w550i

  • can any one tell me that the memory can format? and what's the bettery timing... i am a treveller. do i suits for me..

  • To AMOUR101 uh... finally u answered my doubt (been waiting so long). so we call that twisting stuff a "swivel"... thanks for this mann. Hmm...since u said it is solid, i think i'm buying it soon then!! thanks!!!!

  • I've been having this phone for about a year now. I love it's music capabilities and the loudspeaker is indeed really good. I hate the bulky menu though, and the screen is a bit small. I wish I could afford a Nokia 5700. heh^^

  • well what to say about w550i, m using this set for past one year, & very much satisfied with its features, but this set has one drawback that its not having expendable memory feature, but overall nice one,

  • Hi can any 1 tell where to get that 3d blaster that enhances the sound of w550 ...

  • ps. in my personal opinion .. the sonyericsson 550i's 3 "independant speakers" where far more supperior in both quality and sound to that of the sonyericsson 880i's 1 "singular speaker" .. lol - amour101..aka..phonepimp

  • This Phone is HEAVYYYYYYYYY, TRUST !!! .. lol .. the 3 Independant Speakers on this Phone are ALMOST "Second to NONE" !! (ESPECIALLY for a Phone that came out at the "Back-End" of 2005), i LOVE IT !!, as for the 'Swivel Mechanism' .. its VERY SOLID !!, HELL YEHHHHHH !!!, lol - AMOUR101..aka..PhonePIMP

  • I'm considering to buy this phone, but does anyone experienced any problem where the spring of the phone gets LOOSE or SHAKY after TWISTING it for long period... like few years or months later?

  • i have w550i . its great phone with excellent sound quality.(dhamak). this phone is for music lovers . and second walkmen after w880i . its features is as same as w880i . some peoples said below that it hangs or other screen white problems . so in my opinion they are completely wrong .it depends upon care of the phone .which you can do good . i think it is great i have this phone now and it does nt showed me any problem . it has (1.3mp camera , 2.0 bluthooth, infrared , full usb support, and unbelieveable sound quality like no other phone of any brand. thanks

  • I have SA W550 since 1year.It never hangs up!Great sound quality!It is a budget phone.256mb memory is not fault,as it is only be used for MP3S & not for AVI(smartmovie) videos.No Symbian OS so no chance of viruses (As java vuruses do not creat so much damage in phone).just a low capacity camera.But note down Nokia's 1.3MP cameras(3230,5300)aren't as clear as SA,because Nokia is not a company which can make cameras indidually & is dependant On Japanies companies!!!!!!!!!!

  • I have found out that if u download from the sony ericsson website update service and connect ur fone to the pc and follow the steps. the phone will be fine

  • i connected my phone to the computer and put 2 files in the folder called other. There we some differernt files and folders der. when i on my fone it cums up white and dont go to the menu. it just stay blank white.

  • I bought it and i had problems. one day i was charging the phone ,it was 86 % of the battery but after 3 seconds i found out that it was 65 %. In my opinion it have some problems but in the end it is a great phone.

  • plz can any 1 tell where to get that 3d blaster that enhances the sound of w550 plz it would be really wonderful if any 1 tells me ,from where to download it

  • this is a heavyyyyyyy phone, trust!!!..itz only second to the samsung d500 in my opinion..the d600 in my opinion weren't all that still, lol..both the w550 and the d500 have excellent speakers on them, i have both, and was forever playing the same music track(s) on each of these phones simultaneously to see which was loader!!, helllll yehhhhhhh!!!, such good times, lol..for my money both the w550 and d500 are tops..whereas the d600 and w800 aren't all that, lol..take it from someone who definetely eats, breaths and sleeps mobiles, hehe..don't ask, lol .. amour101 aka phonepimp1. :)

  • look dudes...nokia 6233,n95 has realistic 3d sound effects by default stored in them,thats y they sound good,but thats not with w550i,a software comes for this purpose only for w550i..3d blaster...install this on your w550i.play the music on that player..and hear the effect....you will go crazy even without headphones..and its the loudest ever phone produced(after installing that software)..

  • The PC Suite doesn't work with Windows Vista. What's the solution?

  • where can i download free software for w550 pls tell me site name tanks in adv

  • nice phone, sound is ultimate but dont have any memory card slot and keys are not too convinient to use......... anywayss nice phone in it'ss class

  • good phone, the sound is excelent, altough some songs played loud, loose quality. but not all , just some with lot of treble!256 is good, don't think u need more, it's just a phone afterall not a mobile disko. the camera is bad . i have it for 2 months. in the end it is a good phone

  • i own this phone for about a year, and i find its quite good..the music quality is the best especially when u had the earphones..its quite cheap now so those who hv to buy within budget can consider this phone :)

  • download free software for w550 pls tell me tanks

  • trust me n73, n95, 6233 have the loudest sound on the mobile ever

  • This phone is very good for gaming. if you want a phone and a game counsule, just buy this phone. the sound is extreme loud too. I don't know about nokia, but I think this phone is probably has the loudest sound. the camere is really bad, and only can be used for fun and in bright condition.

  • dude the best sound by clearness and loudness is nokia 6233 and n95 because both have 3d stereo speakers and both have dual stereo speakers which put both those phones as the loudest and clearest phones...and not w550i

  • I 've had this phone for about one year pros Excellent sound+headset never had any technical problem(and have never updated any service).Even the swing mechanism is not loose yet...and I really use this phone! battery life cons too loud for the others when I talk to them..It seems like I'm always in a disco club! Camera is bad but if you want good photos you should rather buy a camera than a cellphone. Memory seemed more than enough after the first month....when I realized that I only got a phone!

  • best sound output than any other handset in this range but memory is not expandable tht da only default

  • one of the phones i've ever used...very poorly done by sony n itz shape itz extremely appaling n reminds me of a loaf of mouldy bread

  • Good phone with the loudest sound you can ever find.The looks is cool modern and proceeds lots of features.Playing games is fun and the earphone brass is thrilled.Best music phone you can obtain.too bad no memory card support and stop production already!

  • which is better.................w550i or k600i...i nid 1 4 sch cause i don wan bring my w850i

  • I want to buy this phone & i want to know about this ..someone told me that the camera problem & hanging problems in it...IS it TRUE? Plz tell me

  • ya it is not a much good phone and all sony ericcssion phones have one common problem if any time unfortunately falls down that is starting problems but in nokia it is not like that if sony ericcssion falls down from that time onwards slowly problems will get and sigbal weak and other person receives more disturbance and navigator problem always get tight only sound is good thats it

  • ha i am faisal . i have problum with my w550i . the problum is that when i connect my w550i via usb cable (data cable) . i saw un neccessary files or you can say unneccessary files in it . i want to remove but they can not remove from my mobile please does any one tell me how i remove them . it will be great pleasure from you to me please tell me in your opinions. God bless you. bye

  • how loud is W550i is it as loud as PSP.becuase that has 2 speakers.with good sound quality.is it the same.?

  • this phone is a beauty...and the sound is really good..

  • does any one know where to download flash themes for W550 i saw a video clip in youtube about the W550 having flash themes it's amazing the phone is totaly changed the menus every thing

  • I really dont like the fact that the contacts are seperate ie, jonh/home, john cell etc. its so frustrating as my k750i had 1 contact and the numbers all under one name. Its afunky phone though. battery good plenty mem, nice little phone

  • effective sound and nice clarity

  • it is a good and a perfect phone for the music listeners

  • Hii, I�ve had my w550i in 1 year now. The sound is the best I ever heard!!, The cam is�nt good, but still, it�s good to be 1 years old. The only different between the new mobiles today is that whey have 3G and memorycard, but it�s 256mb in the phone so you can have queit many songs. IT�s A GOOD PHONE!:D

  • is it true that w550i hangs

  • darshan: it's not a symbian handset so it won't read .sis instead it will read .jar and .jad files paris: update your phone software, it will fix it

  • can anybody tell me if w550i will read sis file or i have the defective set. please anybody i am desperate to know

  • i've had the phone for almost a year now and the screen has gone white is there any way it can be fixed? it is on contract so will they replace it??

  • hai this phone is amizing its features is excellent it is second walkman mobile after w880i and it is complete mobile phone.if u have interest in read and post articles see my blog site www.funmaza.sampasite.com

  • Exelent Phone, the speakers are very loud and clear!!! is far away the more volume phone in the market Ive test N80, N73, W800, W300 but this phone really rocks, the bad is the no memoricard hole but it still being a good phone

  • pls.can anybody tell the sound quality and loudness in se w550i is better or nokia n73.or what have the best sound ?

  • Good of its kind . value and features good and affordable .

  • as i connect my handset to pc via usb connecter it is asking for the cd(software) the cd i lost i want to get back the warrnty is expired what to do

  • this phone is great i had this phone but one disvantage in it is no externel memory an other is quality of sound when you use head phone its sound quality is best when you turn mega bass . when you remove head phone itsa sound quality uis not so better but good . its picture quality is very good in my opinion it is complete phone for music lover so buy it use it and post your opinion god bye and enjoy it

  • have had this phone for six months already ... don't know what the fuss is all about the white screen of death but i have never experienced it (yet). as long as one doesn't completely fill the internal memory or properly disconnects the usb connection after using laptop/computer, i think everything should be fine. i have about 70 full songs with a 96 kb rate (they still sound good), 18mb in videos, maybe 10mb in pictures and mp3 ringtones with 18mb left over in free memory for whatnot ... it's still the best walkman phone for its value. just buy an extra battery though

  • Yes, I'm afraid the screen does go white - aka White Screen of Death - and it won't work. At all. I know because mine has just done this again 30minutes ago for the second time in 3 months. I've only had it since last July. Unfortunately, my old faithful XDA packed up last week too, so now I'm without a phone. I've learnt that when it's about to happen the white screen will appear momentarily when I turn it on. Also it develops a nasty habit of turning itself off when I put it down after sending a message. Strangely, I had an old Ericsson T10 years ago which used to turn itself off - still loved that phone. But it seems that the WSOD problem is throughout the SonyEricsson range, and is particularly bad with the w550i and K700. Reflashing may help, but really you'll have to bring it back to where you bought it. Gorgeous phone, lovely to use but horrifically unreliable from my experience and research.

  • can dis fone store only upto 120-150 msgs...coz it says text msg memory full wen it goes beyond 150...is there anyway i can increase the msg storage capacity??? plz help

  • this phone is great its sount when you turn it mega bass it is rock its pictures quality and memory is also rock and its features fm radio and walkman media is very very good its turning shape is also rocks so friends dont bye any other phone except this because phone is the best phone in the world.so go with w550i

  • i've heard that the screens on sony ericssons can turn white and dont change back? is this true? please reply

  • This phone is rocking from last two years but now this phone is outdated many other phone now offer more feature at the same cost and this phone getting tough competition in terms of speaker and music from Nokia small store dont offer this phone now however still it is nice phone

  • When i first saw this phone i felt it was bulky....but when i saw the features of this gr8 phone...i discovered the best speaker quality sound...A phone with a walkman thats right for Music lovers...The best part is that it has an option of stereo widening which enables crstal clear speaker sound...and guys this function is only enabled in this phone & not in any other Sony Ericsson Walkman Series......i am a proud user of this phone...Njoi with W550i..to all music maniacs...

  • i bought dis phn 4 16k in march 2006 and now u cn get it 4 jst 8k . pls tell me hw mch i cn get 4 this phn if i sell it 2day.ASAP

  • speakers are not stereo types as in nokia speakers of this phone are tweeters they lack bass SE should start using bass speakers w550i is louder just beause the speakers are tweeters not stereo

  • this phone is very very loud i cant see any phone whose sound is better then this phone.this is a best phone for the peoples of this age group 15-30 best best.....

  • This Hp MP3 Very loud And Clear..But Don't Have Memory Card.If Can Add than very good.Sometimes Abit Hang.Still Ok La.. i Like it Very Much.

  • this phone is loud, and very easy to use!! only had it for a day and the screen went blank on me, i wz js listening to music, thass what th phones 4 yeah???

  • i think this phone is really good, i've had this phone for nearly a year. Although i had some problems with the phone, but there is nothing you can't fix. It's picture quality is great, the music is loud. The whole phone is good really

  • Its the best cell.i hv ever used.far more better then Any cell of Nokia in this range

  • i just got the w550i. i had it for no lie, a day and a half an it has already messed up, my screen has gone white after transferin stuff an it wont change back....for that day an a half i thought it was a great phone...now i think its sh!t....

  • u will get folder lock from this link..

  • I didn't think I would really care for a cell phone...till I got this one...It rocks

  • n73 the best loudspeaker phond 3d loudest., its true,,,, its true,,,

  • w550i is the best mobile phone its speakers and screen as well as camera result is rock with compare to other phones w550i is the best mobile phone so use it and have fun

  • I have N73(which is one of the loudest nokia) and w600i I compare them side by side maximum volume, they are both loud as hell with the 3D stereo speaker!

  • Is there any other phone on the market, louder than this one?

  • no ppl i think Nokia 6233 is still loud but i havent even tested W550i but im sure the volume on it is lowww like most SE"s

  • Good phone but tiny screen speakers lack bass sounds good through headphones camera better than nokia 5300 but screen is poor than nokia 5300 display could be tagged bigger and brighter

  • Sonyericsson website says w850i, Z710i and P990i are top SE phones with good speakers not w550i however when compared to Nokia 6233 Definately w550i is louder but what is a speaker that lack quality Nokia 6233 has good clear speaker w550 sounds fine at normal volume but when you full the volume and apply stereo widening or mega bass the speaker just burst you will hear that something is ringing but you will unable find what song is playing the speakers lack bass

  • Do you think this phone is better looking or is more entertaining that the w850?

  • Great sound quality. Which fone has the best sound quality of all??

  • Its the most worst mobile i have ever used.after three days it went blank.When i went to the repairing shop.The guy at the shop told me that its Boared is blasted.It can,t be repaired.booo for sonyericsson

  • Music, it is loud as hell and good. And people stop saying that the camera is rubbish, it is 1.3mp, what do you expect, ofcourse it is worst than 2mp, but fot 1.3mp, it produces good quality It is a walkman for less, so focus is on the music, not camera. Just one detail that i still dont understand, why didnt Sony put a memcard slot on this, there is plenty of room. It is purely music, a good companion for me last year. Now with the N73, i can have a combination of good music and top class camera. But this phone is a a good phone overall.

  • i am using it for 8 months now and since that i should say dat w550i rocks its music clarity,mega bass,stereo widening everything perfect.but only two drawbacks-1 no extendable memory,2 the camera is pathetic.

  • w550i is much loer than 6233.w550i have excellent sound and disply quality it rocks.......so guys go with w550i

  • It's been almost a year since I bought this cool mobile. It's stable, fancy and has amazing sound system for MP3 songs and nice video recording option. However, the quality of its pics/images is quite poor (1.3MP) Never buy a phone with less than 2MP digital camera. I will replace it soon with the new Nokia 7390.

  • I agree that nokia 5300 unable to beat SE 550i because nokia 5300 has very poor camera stupid colour and design w550i has good speaker and walkman phones had great audio quality

  • I had this phone 1 year ago and its good phone.

  • w550i is rocking the mobile users.nokia 5300 has been launched to beat 550i.but very sadly it did not come near to it.sterio widening tears our hearings.really my opinion is to buy w550i and not to go for any other mobile.this is my advice.

  • how is the camera is it good or just fine

  • W550i is louder than nokia 6233 but when full the equilizer of 6233 the speaker blast out and providing much clearer and louder sound than w550i

  • Nokia 6233 has much better speaker than this phone the sound in w550i splits out when you apply mega bass over all it is a good phone compare to its price range to other brands

  • piece of crap hangs a lot speakers are louder but not clearer like my nokia 6233 why people say it stereo speakers becoz the phone speaker lack bass when heard from lat little distance the only sound come is crap crap and so on w810i has much clear speakers

  • how i could downloud an aswering progranm for my mobile sonyericsson w-550 i

  • Love the phone!!! In regards to a comment about accidently switching on the internet when in pocket, remember it has a keypad lock button on the side of the phone which you switch down to lock keypad.Also the phone has a flash so I don't quite get why one would have photos which turn out dim??? Peace.

  • i have w550 and its INCREDIBLE!! the sound is amazing and the sound is clear memory is gd too.... all in all im delighted with this mobile!

  • question: why can it save only a few messages when it had 256mb of memory? can anyone help me find out if i have wrongly configured my w550i?

  • i think when you connect the loud speaker it will make the sounds so loud hehehehe

  • i have both 6233& w550i of course w550i wins &it is a perfect phone super quality of sound and have gaming buttons

  • which phone is louder from the stereo speakers Nokia 6233 or this Sonyerricson W550i ??????????? has anyone tested that???

  • i think this phone totally ROCKS MY WORLD. it dont seems to be out of trend. the 'twisting' of the phone is cool. although it's a little bulky, but still it's great. good speakers. even better with ear piece on. the BASS. great. recommended!

  • how do I put videos on my phone

  • i just brought 1 and when i turn it on the screen turns wigh den gows bck to normal has eny 1 got da sAME PROB :) plz anser xxcxxxxxxx

  • This phone is great. Loud speakers are loud (especially 4 a phone) but get tinny wen u crank up the volume. But the internet button on the front is a pain as it charges u wen u press it in ur pocket. Still luv this phone

  • hey guys do you think that this phone is to big?????? reply

  • its a good phone but very big

  • The Sound Speakers Are Loud & Clear [very good sound], Good Cam & Nice Size. Only one Thing I don't Like the {small screen}. Large screens can preview pics & videos better & more clear.

  • Hi , I have a sony Ericsson w550i phone. It worked good for a year and now the display seems to be very bright.decreaing the brightness did not matter. All the pictures and the videos doesnot seem to be clear.I do not know what to do. Would appreciate if anyone has any sugesstions?

  • Man i used a nokia 1100 before,after using this one my whole definition of phone has changed.

  • can this phone play MPEG-4 video format.how much sms it can store

  • hey guys , well ive had this phone for the last 1 or so and bee offered other good phones to swap with but i really cant part with it . i really do love this phone , i,ve had many phones but this is definatley the best one i had . i love lisening to music and texting so this phone is perfect for me all roled up into one

  • Hi Max, You cant free memory for the sms! I have this phone for one and half year! It has some problems with the OS !

  • This is the best phone till date in terms of music. This phone is a good show. All the new technologies in the budget. While I was looking out I wanted a phone with radio, good camera, and USB. But I got much more with this phone inclusive of 256 MB of memory allowing me to keep my favourite songs with me without getting into hassle of buying extra memory. There are only two concerns that I hold about this - 1. It clicks great pictures but in proper lights only. I really long that sony should have been careful enough to test the picture quality of the phone in the dim light. But then why would i need a digital camera :D 2. By default, it is not compatible with .wav files. You are explicitly required to install realtime player, if you need all files format.

  • i love the w550i! the stereo speakers are fantastic! i've had it for almost 2 yrs now. with all the new models coming out, i wasn't willing to part with this at all. but the other night, a friend accidentally spilled wine on it and now it's dead! im now looking at the w810i. another old model, but comes highly recommended with really great reviews...

  • Looking forward to buy Sony ericsson W550 phone. But could anyone please tell me that how much overall SMS could be stored in the phone. Is it pre-configure or we could free some memory for messages. REPLY PLZ on my provided E-MAIL ID. Thanx in advance...

  • Awesome...

  • Hi can youput this on silent like the samsung and stillsee if you got messages etc. if so how do you do it?

  • I want to buy the W550. Users please inform me about it, whether I will go for it or not.

  • I got this phone for half a year now and it's so awesome. I just wish you have improved the memory. After that it would have been the besterest phone ever!!!

  • i got w550i its good looking and good build but after one weeks at friday the screen comes white color and hanging i sent the phone to the sony ericsson agent to repair the soft ware/ and its working/ next day it hanging agian its very bad phone the screen come white during usb conected so i lose the soft ware and all data inside finally i changed it to w850i/ bad job se for w550i dont buy it take care stop remah

  • well this phone onli support 3gp files for videos.. yaan n its keypad is cooool!

  • its not a very great phone its more a mp3

  • This is one of the best phones which I have used and the price is very affordable for the featues which it carries as compared to Nokia where the same features comes only at a expensive price. I strongly recommend who wishes to buy and I bet that you will love it for its surround sound and its picture quality.

  • does w550i support wma files plz tell me

  • i think that SE W550i is extremely great phone ... although my bro said that if the memory is used up . it will be spoilt . but i dun atually believe it , u know . i love its slide open it is extremely good !!! i have not bought it , but 27/05/07 i will but it ! dinfitnely i will buy because it is extremely good

  • Is the w550's keypad good or comfortable?

  • josh try se w600i, this phone has expandable memory, and it also have 3 stereo spekers

  • PC Suite come with this w550i not compatible to my Mac iBook. Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem cause I want to use w550i as modem to connect my ibook to internet.

  • I have found one problem with this phone. This problem does not affect the user of the phone but it affects the person on the other side of the line ( the person you are talking to ). The problem is the phone picks up the surrounding sounds more clearly than the sound of the user. Hence you get all the traffic noises clearly but you are unable to hear the person clearly. If you can do this experiment. Give your W550i to your friend and tell him to go stand outdoor near a street or any outdoor place with surrounding noise. Give him/her a ring and chat for a while. You will see that the surrounding noises are more loud than your friend's voice. Repeat the same experiment with any other phone,( anything except the W550i and the Walkman Series), you will find that your friend's voice much clear this time. This W550i problem also occurs indoors. This phone may be the best singing and dancing phone ; but when it come to conversation it sucks big time Safari

  • this is the best fone i've ever used the one who mad it, is really genious

  • this phone from SE is best design & model that any one can make.It has awesome sound quality with or w/o earphone. Camera is also Nice and it can take AAC audio format. good display & it`s more funkier that any other Walkman phones especially with orange colour.

  • Im using Sonyericsson W550i for almost a year It has a Superb Sound and good display screen good camera phone. but time pass by it starts to lag/hang and its headset its not that comfortable to wear in your hear cause a lil move on your head. one piece of the headset will put out on your ear. but over all, this phone is ONE HANDY DANDY PHONE TO HAVE. Its Small But Terrible.!

  • free games on emobilez.com

  • I bought SE W550 last August and I was forced to get other phone a couple of days ago (one of the advantages of working at Staples, my boss let me trade :p :) ). The problem was I needed to replace the phone's battery twice in just a bit over four months. First battery was literally swollen and it lasted less than a month. The second one lasted longer, but it lost all autonomy in less than a week. One day it was fine, three days later, it would last less than 24 hours in stand-by. After this, lots of people told me SE is sadly famous for battery problems. I don't know how much of truth there is in that... nevertheless, I chose a Samsung model to replace this one.

  • W550 model has a vital problem. When i used is out side of enclosed door, the reciver of my call cann't hear my voice. Noise overlaps my voice.So,Reciver can hear the noise clear than my voice. In noisy environment S/he can't listen my voice.Except this w550 is the best in my choice list. Camera is quality is medium.

  • hi, i like to buy this phone! but u see ppl say it has only 256 of mem ( i feel this as a drawback)! then what abt 550i?is that same as this one?well,i need a cell that has 512 or even more? suggest one if u know!!! thanks

  • This is nice &cool phone

If anybody wants some help related to softwares , games , or anything related to the phone , kindly mail me, i am having a very good collection............... ok guys 1 more time...... SE W Series Rocks.........

  • W550i is a extra-odinary phone all the thing in this phone. I like it very much and i am using this phone service is very good. Thanks to sony ericsson for this phone.

  • It is an awesome phone.. Now not available in India. I was probably the the last one to buy in Pune yesterday.. Got really lucky.

  • i am using this for only 2 hours and it started hanging. but it has extraordinary sound quality. the flash is very good.

  • hey dudes can ne 1 tell me whether i can install ogg playeron this phone... what r d formets supported by this phone in vids.

  • @Shaon Recording calls, as far as I know, isn't part of the Sony Ericsson W550 feature set. Call recording is a feature seen on PocketPC phones (through third party software) and Symbian-equipped mobiles. @whyw800 It depends on where you're looking. It could also be because the demand for the W550i here wasn't as great as the demand for the W800i. The competition in the W800i's region could be driving the prices down. It's still going to be a tradeoff, though. The W550i is also great as a gaming phone, while the W800 has a better camera and an expansion slot.

  • why is it that this phone has the same price as w800i? at least in the philippines it's the same price....

  • No doubt that this phone has extraordinary sound quality but when it comes to battery backup and processing it looses colour. In just 3 months it has also started hanging up.

  • Dear, Friends..please help me...i got a sony erricson550i phone but i can't...record my call.....because if the call has recorded..then it does'nt play....is it possiable to...install the .amr supported software.....Please any body mail me please

  • I bought this phone this year in February. The best phone I have ever spent money on! It has all the features I am looking for. HOWEVER, all of a sudden it is not getting any signal. It may be because I'm in America but it says it's a tri-band phone. In any case it's an awesome phone :)

  • I had this phone but now have the W810. The W550 is a mans phone, quite bulky but rugged and durable. If this phone had a memory card it would be fantastic! Best sound system without earphones i've seen on any phone yet. Please Sony Ericsson add a memory card and re-release this phone

How can i solve this problems if the Sony Ericsson themselves cannot find me a new software.

  • i had this phone the only thing wrong with this phone is the twist function it dosnt last very long as i found out mine fell apart

  • Was the ultimate phone to me b4 it crashed - white screen problem. I managed to get someone to fix it only for it to crash less than 2 weeks later. The screen is white, no keypad illumination, no booting. The 2nd crash was fantastic. The phone had spasms. It got white screen, got normal, no screen and then white screen. Glad to know it can be fixed. Sony should make the new software available or recall the phones just like they did with their laptop batteries recently.

  • i have the k750i and gettin bored of it and want a very loud phone and ive heard the w550i is loud can someone please tell me i really need help

  • Recently i am using nokia6630 is it worth of buying w550i?Plz help me 6630 has software pblm frequently hangs,thanks in advance

  • Can you please help me in this question that can one install Real Player in Sony Ericsson W550i? yes then from where I can download this?

  • I recently bought the W550i and im completely satisfied with all the features. Technically, the sony phones have features that nokia users can only wish for. But all said and done, its only for technically inclined people, cause it gives a lot of freedom in terms of programming. It is not for naive users who desire ease of use. Recently i was even able to browse the web using my pc's net connection on bluetooth wirelessly, using this tutorial > bye bye GPRS... LOL W550i simply ROCKS ! People who criticise it are just too naive to understand its features and the freedom it provides for programmers...

  • The cellphone is just amazing... Sound quality rocks.. and it is really a walkman phone.. i agree that the memory is a bit low.. and they shud upgrade the phone.. The only need is the memory card.. else the phone is amazing :)

  • i have had this fone for nearly a year and yh its realli good but the camera is a bit blurry compared to the likes of the cybershot and other fones and the memory is a bit small 4 a walkman fone especially with no memory card slot but it is still a good fone and a good buy for �140

  • this is an ultimate smart phone it's stereophonic output is amazing on headset as well as on loudspeaker.i think it's functions&looks are good in comparision to nokia-6600,7610,6630&6670.

  • Sony Ericsson W550i My Review Ratings: Features Marks Obtained Look 10 Phone Quality 10 Phone Integration & Accessories 08 User-friendliness 10 Utility Manager 09 Connectivity 09 Imaging & Video 08 Music 10 Gaming 09 Additional Features 09 Total 92 Discussions: � �Marks Obtained� in each segment, is out of 10, and so, total is out of 100. � �Look� signifies the originality of the appearance of the phone. The phone is elegant and handy enough, to score a perfect 10. Besides, availability of several themes over the internet, scores for the variety in the appearance of the phone. Additional �Style-Up�� covers also help the phone score well. � �Phone Quality� is based on the call quality, battery performance, messaging experience and durability, i.e., the device�s performance in classical phone functions. Awesome battery and call performance earn another perfect 10 for the phone. � �Phone Integration & Accessories� is the overview of the phone�s memory, software kit and accessories supplied with it. Lack of the expandable memory feature causes a deduction of marks. But pretty good internal memory and excellent quality accessories compensate to an extent. � �User-friendliness� is the measure of the satisfaction of the user. It is mainly based upon the easiness of use and simplicity of the phone. Another 10 for W550i, for excellent shortcut keys, and fairly good speed of the phone. Even 10 out of 10 is less for this phone, in this department. A 15 or 20 would have been better. � �Utility Manager� is the phone�s capability as a personal data-manager along with some useful applications, such as the flash light (which not only gives support with the camera, but works as a handy torchlight). With calendar, tasks, notes, etc. and the flash light and alarm clock, the phone is pretty good in this department. But the absences of �Office Applications� like �Quickword� or �Quickpoint� cause a loss for the phone in this department. � �Connectivity� is another area where the phone scores well. The supplied USB cable is an excellent data transferring device. �Bluetooth�� and �Infra-Red� also provide easy transfer of data. The �Bluetooth�� speed is fairly high. When receiving, the maximum speed is found to be about 36 kbps, the minimum being 15 kbps. The �Net-Front Browser� is quite user-friendly and so, browsing experience is bettered. But the absence of �EDGE� causes a small loss of marks for the phone. Besides, the �PlayNow�� is a big bogus, at least in some countries like India. The contents in �PlayNow�� are hopeless enough. � �Imaging & Video� is a department, which is certainly not one of the strongest for the phone. The pictures taken inside a room often become sepia-toned, a feature that doesn�t help the phone score well. In addition, pictures often become blurred. But excellent in-built photo and video software, viz., �PhotoDJ�� and �VideoDJ�� respectively, pull the score up to a handy 8. � Music is probably the strongest side of this phone, at least when the multimedia features are concerned. Tremendous audio quality, pretty good �WALKMAN�� player and the features like equalizer (consisting of the �Mega Bass�� preset), �Stereo Widening�, etc. earn a sure shot 10 for the phone. However, the software, MusicDJ�, which produces MIDI ringtones, is unnecessary, at least, to me. � Gaming is quite a good experience on this phone. The �Landscape Mode� is quite good for gaming experience. Though few games can be found and downloaded with this mode, the embedded games, especially �Worms Forts 3D� utilizes it to the fullest. Other �Java�� games, when downloaded to the phone, worked pretty well. The user-friendly keypad adds to gaming experience (though the much advertised �Gaming Buttons� are not necessary, at least, according to me). Only one area of regret in this department, is the absence of �Symbian OS�� for the phone. That means, the user can�t play classics like �Asphalt Urban GT 2 3D��, �Midnight Pool 3D�� and many more. � Additional Features is the segment, where the phone has been judged to possess some interesting as well as important features. For example, in this phone, the �Update Service� feature, which is accessible over the air. Also, interesting �Java�� applications like �World Clock� (embedded) and �Converter� (downloadable from the Sony Ericsson fun and downloads website), add to the phone�s marks. The phone is a perfect data storage device when the data bank is not extremely large. It can store unknown file formats also (though they can�t be opened on the phone) and can be transferred via �Bluetooth�� or �Infra-Red� or USB cable to another device. And one of the biggest features is that, games and applications can be easily transferred to this phone from a PC via the many transfer methods. Even, if the application�s installer file is transferred to a folder like �Other�, the application isn�t installed. Under this circumstance, one can send games to other phones also. I have never come by such easy transfer methods for software or applications. However, inability to change the appearance/skin of the �WALKMAN�� music player certainly strips a mark from the phone�s tally in this section. Last Word: Certainly, this phone is the best I have seen and used. No other phone has been so exciting and user-friendly. A healthy score of 92 out of 100 proves that.

  • Iam absolutely amazed with this mobile phone however Iam looking for a folder lock on this mobile phone. Cant we a default software from sony ericsson to lock the folder?

  • itis good but i

  • its great.it really is great

  • Its an awesome phone...The sound is awesome and the ear phone quality is extremely good...So it has all the things that you are looking for a Walkman phone but the negative part of it is that you dont have the external memory card slot...Altogether its a great phone for music freeks.

  • Hi everybody! I from turkey. This telephone best.

  • hi this is abu, this new w550 is really cool,it sound rocks, clearity is good, good high volume of sound proves its a real walkman. hats of to w550 sony erricson

  • hi this is abu, this w550 is very cool mobile, it really rocks,what a sound clearity, nothing can beat it,good grps supportive mobile, its sound really proofs its a walk man. hats of to w550.

  • At last I've finally managed to repalace my N-gage QD for a sony ericsson w550 and let me tell u all that its a great phone and worth the money. I've been using it for 2 weeks now. The layout and shape of the phone are great but rather thick if u wanna put it in a pocket. The screen display is good enough and really bright in the dark. The keypad is comfortable to use since the keys are a bit larger than other mobiles. The camera is 1.3 megapixel with nightmode, funny frames, burst mode, and also a flashlight to help u take photos in dark areas. The photos on a PC look nice but keeps u wishing for more and also the same for video clips. The phone has a shared memory of 256MB and that leaves about 232MB for the user. I think its a really good memory to store photos, and MP3 songs. The walkman is just the masterpiece of this great cell phone. The sound is really great from the loudspeakers or the included headsets and even on a bluetooth headset! This walkman application has a stereo widening feature which allows u to make the singer's voice as an echo. It also has an equalizer with the megabass feature. You can also set ur phone on startup to use the walkman only without logging into the GSM network if u were on a plane or a place the mobile phone usage is prohibited. The FM radio is also a good feature in this phone. It supports RDS (radio data system) which is a small text line broadcasted from the radiostation that gives u advertisements and also information about the played song or program. Unfortunately u cant use the sound equalizer for radio. the radio supports automatic scan and auto save for stations. In the entertainment section, you will find interesting Java Games, Music DJ, photo DJ and Video DJ which allow to edit ur files as u want. A simple sound recorder is also located under entertainment and it also records calls. Messaging is average for all sonyericsson phones and it supports SMS, EMS, MMS, instant messaging, and also voicemail. the browser of this phone supports GPRS (at least in my network operator). Infrared and bluetooth are simply compatible with all other phones and PC's and u will find no problems. You can also remote control ur PC using ur W550! The organizer section contains alarms, world clock, calender, tasks, notes, timer, stopwatch, calculator, flashlight, and also a code memo to save certain codes and passwords. The phone also has a great file manager in order to organize, rename, delete,and move all file types. The phone themes are really intersting. They can change the layout of ur phone and the wallpaper completely. Orange themes are the best. The package of the phone includes a headset, charger, menus, quick guide menus, USB cable, and also extra ear plugs 4 ur headset and also a white extra cover. Changing the front cover was problem since it was very delicate and hard to pull out and that caused my white front cover to break but no problem since the orange one looks really great on the phone. There are also grey and black covers available for the phone and black is nice also. The phone could be easily connected to the PC via cable. A windows XP operating system will recognize the phone as a USB external drive. If u need any extra information about the phone dont hesitate to email me: [email protected] or +963-92-239873 (text messaging only) I love this phone alot and it really removes any thoughts of replacing it.

The photos on a PC look nice but keeps u wishing for more and also the same for video clips. The phone has a shared memory of 256MB and that leaves about 232MB for the user. I think its a really good memory to store photos, and MP3 songs. The walkman is just the masterpiece of this great cell phone. The sound is really great from the loudspeakers or the included headsets and even on a bluetooth headset! This walkman application has a stereo widening feature which allows u to make the singer's voice as an echo. It also has an equalizer with the megabass feature. You can also set ur phone on startup to use the walkman only without logging into the GSM network if u were on a plane or a place the mobile phone usage is prohibited. The FM radio is also a good feature in this phone. It supports RDS (radio data system) which is a small text line broadcasted from the radiostation that gives u advertisements and also information about the played song or program. Unfortunately u cant use the sound equalizer for radio. the radio supports automatic scan and auto save for stations. In the entertainment section, you will find interesting Java Games, Music DJ, photo DJ and Video DJ which allow to edit ur files as u want. A simple sound recorder is also located under entertainment and it also records calls. Messaging is average for all sonyericsson phones and it supports SMS, EMS, MMS, instant messaging, and also voicemail. the browser of this phone supports GPRS (at least in my network operator). Infrared and bluetooth are simply compatible with all other phones and PC's and u will find no problems. You can also remote control ur PC using ur W550! The organizer section contains alarms, world clock, calender, tasks, notes, timer, stopwatch, calculator, flashlight, and also a code memo to save certain codes and passwords. The phone also has a great file manager in order to organize, rename, delete,and move all file types. The phone themes are really intersting. They can change the layout of ur phone and the wallpaper completely. Orange themes are the best. The package of the phone includes a headset, charger, menus, quick guide menus, USB cable, and also extra ear plugs 4 ur headset and also a white extra cover. Changing the front cover was problem since it was very delicate and hard to pull out and that caused my white front cover to break but no problem since the orange one looks really great on the phone. There are also grey and black covers available for the phone and black is nice also. The phone could be easily connected to the PC via cable. A windows XP operating system will recognize the phone as a USB external drive. If u need any extra information about the phone dont hesitate to email me: [email protected] I love this phone alot and it really removes any thoughts of replacing it.

  • the stereo is the best ever from all the phone. try to compare with any speaker phone. w550i is louder and clearer than any. im facing no problem when using this phone. sound quality is very good rather than the latest walkman phone.

  • Hi Saurabh well mate even i faced the problem which you are facing right now in my previous w550i(which was STOLEN) but i got it replaced after facing the software problem for 3 times i forced the SE people to replace it and then NO Probs at all.. but unfotunately i lost my fone and now i bought a new one i guess you may be using the Disc2Phone software i already told ppl that its CRAP just dont use it... rest all is fine with this fone just ask SE ppl to replace it and then DO NOT USE Disc2Phone ok Lad Cheers!! Enjoy.. Ankit([email protected])

  • i m just fed up with this fone it hangs a lot white screen apears after which u cant even switch it on i purchased it in july since then i hve faced this problem 5 times do ne 1 of u also facing this problem?

  • the most blunder decisiion i have ever taken too buy W550i pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...... no one Buy it I request 1.battery 2.network 3.hang 4.headset 5.heavy phone too use in war as arm.. 6.display is quite good but it too small

  • hi Priya i think may be Anand is right but as per the knowledge i have bout my W550i is that the problem that you are facing is just because of software. i guess you might have used the Disc2Phone software plz dont ever use it otherwise you will face the problem everytime.... and you can software fixed very easily just go to the nearest service centre and if your set is Without bill then you can get it updated via GPRS it would be one with in few minutes and will cost you less as well... Hope this will help you do reply if it does.. Cheerss!! Enjoy.. Ankit([email protected])

  • Hi Priya the problem u r facing is Uncommon,but wat I suggest,just change ur cellphone's battery dont take new battery,ask any one who is using the same phone & just put that battery in ur cell try this & reply if ur problem is solve.Bye

  • euh.. hello there.. i think i abused of my phone memory while downloading songs.. nw i cnt even switch on my phone & cant even access it through my pc using the usb cable.. anyone can help?? plz do mail me.. thnx

  • @armash I think you have good choices. Both of them have similar music quality. So you just only concern to the differences between them. W700 has better camera than W550 and it has slot for memory external. W550 has louder speaker phone (because it has more than 1 loudspeaker) but the camera is not so goed and no memory external so you have 256 Mb memory. So which one is your priority than take it. Hope,it can help you.

  • Im going to buy a phone.Im confused with w550 and w700.Which can i buy.I want the best music quality.please help

  • it's a good mobile phone

  • when i attemp to turn my phone on all i get is a white screen, the only way to get rid of the white screen is 2 take the battery out, any1 no if the screen is broken or is the phone just broken :( cheers :)

  • what about messaginn.. cos i do lots of msgn

  • great phone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • im just tryin' to know if the w 550 has a louder sond than the w 700,so please ,may somebody guide me ??

  • good phone..excellent no card reader. phone is the best!!

  • @manual Nokia 3250 has only 1 speaker,but it is loud among the Nokia phones. W550 has more than 1 speaker and it is the best output speaker among SE W series. Please be careful, because "louder" is not the same with "better".(Sorry I say that because many people mixed about louder and better). But if you speak about which one is "better"; this is sometimes more difficult. Because if I like the sound from W550/3250, that will be not the same to you.Our taste about music may be different.If you ask to someone who like the music produced by 3250 than they will say 3250 is better,otherwise if you ask to someone who like the music produced by SE than they will say SE is better. My advise to you: Try it by yourself (I hope that you have friend who is satisfied using W550 and another friend who is satisfied using 3250) and you can compare by yourself how they play the song that you like (with earset and without earset).Than sure you can get the best choice for yourself among both of them. Goed luck. and please share with us if have make the decision.

  • w900 is beta. it is also a swivel display wif a 2mp camera. every thng bout it is beta but cost 2-3 times mre than this fone. the 1.3mp is nt that flash but will do. most fones hav 2mp nw. 256mb in nt enuf as w900 have 470mb wif 2gb memory card.

  • hye evry1..can anybody tell me which 1 has a better loudspeaker between w550i or n3250?i so confuse between diz 2 phone coz n3250 iz also a stereo speaker so which 1 has a better sound quality..hope anybody can answer it honestly!!

  • hya can any one post a message explainig about the white screen

  • Hi!! Im planning to buy this phone!! How much is it on pay as you go? What are the disadvantages and advantages of the w550i? Thanks Please email me ur answers!!

  • This is an excellent phone, just one problem that I do have, not anything to do with the phone. Can anyone assist me with the wap and mms settings for the Cell C network? Calling them does not work, as you never receive the settings. I really want to put this phone to full use?

  • i have a sonyericsson w550i. the screen its black..i dont know why, it didnt fell down. it happened when i was charging it, i turn it off. and then i cant turn it on. and its not a battery problem. help me!!!!!please!!!!

  • Hi! Everyone, Could u plz tell me how can I enjoy Internate on my PC through datacable by using W550i.

  • Hi all, (A) REGARDING WHITE SCREEN PROBLEMS� Just go to Settings->Update Service->Software Version and check if the version is CXC1250031 R4CB020 000000�..this is the Latest Version of W550i. If your version does not match, then activate your GPRS account by contacting your Network vendor. When GPRS connection is activated, then again go to Settings->Update Service->Search for Update. The fone will automatically search for the updates and will change the software version to the latest one automatically (all the things which were uploaded before will be unchanged). Upgrading your firmware for the fone will probably solve the White Screen problem. A word of caution: Don�t use the Disc to Fone Software provided in the Software CD of the the fone, coz it is a faulty one. (B) ACTIVATING THE CELL INFO DISPLAY�. Go to Messages->Settings->Area Info and make the both �Area Information� and �Reception� ON. (C) DOWNLOADING GAMES�. For those who want to download games for your fone, just visit this link and start downloading�http://www.myw550.lasyk.net/W550i/Games/ After downloading them into your PC, transfer them to your fone with the help of USB Cable supplied with the fone. (D) CHARGING PROBLEM�. I can suggest you u two ways, though I am not sure that they will work but u can atleast try.. (1)Simply switch off your fone and then turn it on�.connect the charger and see if it works. (2)After attaching the two-ends of the charger (1 on mainboard and 1 into the fone), bend the charger-end (attached with the fone) slightly down and then slightly up (with caution and no xtra force). I once faced of Non-Charging problem and it suddenly occurred due to lose-connection of charger. U can also bring another charger from others and connect it with your fone�.if the fone starts receiving charge, then the fone itself must be ok. And again charge another W550i with your charger to see whether your charger is faulty or not. If all these experiments do not work, bring both to your nearest SE Service Centre coz it might be a fault in internal circuitry. **There is also a provision of Fast Port Charging in W550i. Whenever u attach the fone with your PC via USB Cable (supplied), the fone takes charges from computer. U can try this, if this works, then be sure your charger is faulty. (E) SUPPORTED AUDIO AND VIDEO FORMATS�. AUDIO: MIDI-based polyphonic (40-chord), music files (AAC/MP3/M4A/MP4/WAV supported), NB-AMR audio clips VIDEO: 3GP (H.263 AMR and AAC) MP4 (MPEG-4 and AAC) (F) DIFERRENCE BETWEEN W550 & W660�. (1)W550 is Tri-Band(GSM 900/1800/1900) but W660 is Quad-Band(GSM 850/900/1800/1900). (2)Regarding Data Connectivity, W550 does not support EDGE but W600 does. Warm Regards. Do keep in touch.

  • At last I've finally managed to repalace my N-gage QD for a sony ericsson w550 and let me tell u all that its a great phone and worth the money. I've been using it for 2 weeks now. The layout and shape of the phone are great but rather thick if u wanna put it in a pocket. The screen display is good enough and really bright in the dark. The keypad is comfortable to use since the keys are a bit larger than other mobiles. The camera is 1.3 megapixel with nightmode, funny frames, burst mode, and also a flashlight to help u take photos in dark areas. The photos on a PC look nice but keeps u wishing for more and also the same for video clips. The phone has a shared memory of 256MB and that leaves about 232MB for the user. I think its a really good memory to store photos, and MP3 songs. The walkman is just the masterpiece of this great cell phone. The sound is really great from the loudspeakers or the included headsets and even on a bluetooth headset! This walkman application has a stereo widening feature which allows u to make the singer's voice as an echo. It also has an equalizer with the megabass feature. You can also set ur phone on startup to use the walkman only without logging into the GSM network if u were on a plane or a place the mobile phone usage is prohibited. The FM radio is also a good feature in this phone. It supports RDS (radio data system) which is a small text line broadcasted from the radiostation that gives u advertisements and also information about the played song or program. Unfortunately u cant use the sound equalizer for radio. the radio supports automatic scan and auto save for stations. In the entertainment section, you will find interesting Java Games, Music DJ, photo DJ and Video DJ which allow to edit ur files as u want. A simple sound recorder is also located under entertainment and it also records calls. Messaging is average for all sonyericsson phones and it supports SMS, EMS, MMS, instant messaging, and also voicemail. the browser of this phone supports GPRS (at least in my network operator). Infrared and bluetooth are simply compatible with all other phones and PC's and u will find no problems. You can also remote control ur PC using ur W550! The organizer section contains alarms, world clock, calender, tasks, notes, timer, stopwatch, calculator, flashlight, and also a code memo to save certain codes and passwords. The phone also has a great file manager in order to organize, rename, delete,and move all file types. The phone themes are really intersting. They can change the layout of ur phone and the wallpaper completely. Orange themes are the best. The package of the phone includes a headset, charger, menus, quick guide menus, USB cable, and also extra ear plugs 4 ur headset and also a white extra cover.

  • Hi All, Using USB Cable: First, install the Driver Softwares and other softwares (Particularly for PC Sync and File Transfer must be installed)....and pls do not use the Disc2Fone software coz it has a bad reputation and also not flawless. After installaiton finishes, then if necessary RESART ur PC. Then connect the USB Cable to ur fone's port and then in the computer's front or back panel USB port. WIthin a second, there will b a msg "new hardware found" (WIndows XP) and after a few sconds, a new PHONE DRIVE will be created apart from ur pc's existing hard drive partitions and cd-drive, floppy drive etc. In the meantime, look at the fone, when u connect the fone to ur Pc via USB, the fone restarts and then two options come :PHONE MODE and FILE TRANSFER. Select FILE TRANSFER mode to transfer files (else select PHONE MODE for PC Sync etc.......N.B: When u select FILE TRANSFER mode, all other functionalities of the fone (menu search, call out, call in etc. will be inactive, they are active in PHONE MODE). Next, to transfer files, simply COPY ur audio-video-pictures etc and PASTE them in the PHONE DRIVE. They will be stored in the FILE MANAGER folder of the fone. After completing ur transfers, first click on 'SAFELY REMODVE HARDWARE' in the Taskbar and then select the USB Device and then only remove ur USB Cable from the PC. ***Transfering files (be it audio, video, pics, themes, games etc are very fast). ***Whenever u attach the fone with ur PC (irrespective of the MODES selected, the fone will be charged automatically. WORD OF CAUTION: To avoid White Screen problem and frequent hang-ups..... (a)Don't use Disc2Fone Software. (b)Upgrade ur Firmware version (mine is CXC1250031 R4CB020 000000). (c)After using USB Cable, detach after completing 'Safely Remove Hardware' task. (d)Don't transfer too many files at a time and don't fill up all the storage space coz that may cause the fone to behave slowly. (e)Try 2 use compattible 3rd party staff (audio-video-rt-game-pics)......www.lasyk.com has a vast collection of quakity staff for many SE fones....check the site... Camera: W550i has 1.3MP camera. U can take nice shots in the daylight and there are many options to customise ur pics before taking the shot, even u can chage the shutter sound. There are many effects to use like "Sepia", "Black&White" etc. U can zoom also if u have selected a smaller 'size' of photo. But I must say, taking pictures at night does not always give good results.U can select the in built 'Light' (it is really strong) and can tweak the "White Balancing" settings, but still the snaps taken are not of good quality.But I must inform you as the screen is of 262K color, u can still view the pics better than other 1.3MP category like N3230. Video Recording: I havn't faced any issue here. After selecting camera, u can switch to Video shooting mode. Racording time lasts until the memory is fully exhausted. I personally didn't download any music video but if it is in '.3gp' format, then u can view anykind of videos. And "www.ovao.com" is a vast repository of different types of videos. The fone is amazing fast !! I copied my my 193 contacts from my SIM card to the fone memory and it only took 4-5 seconds, I had N3230 also a few months back, and the same action took near about 48-50 seconds.

  • I had a few Nokia phones before since switching to Sony Ericsson. Nothing can compare to the W550i! Simply the BEST! I would trade all those phones just to get this unit back. Unfortunately, I had to sell it and settle with Motorola's SLVR because I overloaded it with themes and java games.

  • It's really a great phone. It'll fulfill anybody's need as an entertainment device and as an essential device too. I compared it with Nokia 8801, that phone's nothing in front of it. If this phone would get the miniSD slot it'd make a revolution. The style's perfect for youngsters. Talk time is sooo long,

  • dont buy it.white screen.

  • the white screen is well anoyin loads of people are talkin about it dont buy it you will just end up jumping on it in rage.

  • This phone is very unique. One of the most important features of it is the loudness. If only the memory size of the phone is 512mb then it will be a perfect phone.

  • i bought this last may 2006 and it was suberb... they say that i have the most unique phone in our school. the white sceen doesn't happen anymore because they fixed it... everybody in my class loves the games of the phone and borrows my phone during break time or dissmissal... it is a really cool phone... and it helped me to be famous here in school!! (i was a new comer)...

  • Hey gus, this phone is amazing. I have used this phone for more than 4 hrs and i found it superb. In fact, it is worth of your cost. Sound quality is superb & design of phone is eexcellent. Inbuilt memory is 256 MB so there is no need of card slot. I am just going to buy it when i get my next salary. Plz keep updating me about this phone and software for this phone. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • Hi I want to say some things about this phone. I have one and i love it! But ive had to send it twice to be repaired. The first time i dropped it and the next day it started playing up. It kept taking photos and trying to call people. Then i got it fixed after a few weeks. Then about 5 weeks later it wouldnt charge. So i pushed the charger in a bit more and it still didnt work. So i pushed harder then the charger snapped and the stick things on the charger got stuck in the phone so i couldnt charge it at all. I had to send it to be repaired and it is going to cost $130 to repair it:(. It's a great phone, but you have to be really really careful with them. If you have any questions feel free to email me. Jesse

  • Hiiiii.... this 550i is only good when it comes to the sound part, but the camera is no good, if u complare it with vga camera phones i wud say they are much better and the phone is bulky tooo....

  • is there a way to update without connecting the phone directly to the net?? like can i just update thru usb port, and then through my pcs internet connection??

  • Hey Mates! I dont think there is any phone available with all the important features in such a low cost. Just Go gor it and Feel the Xenon Experience.

  • I don't have any problems with my phone because I updated my software.

  • Phone is good value for money, but has serious software issues. Hangs up when recieving calls. I Have a recurring screen problem, it Turns complete white in every 6 hours. If u buy , buy it wiyh bill.

  • I brought this when it came out and it hasn't failed me since. (December)

  • hey guyz this phone is surely beating the records.i m a fan of nokia cell phones but this time i must say i couldnt resist myself from buying this one.its a wonderful one to show off as well!i think all those ppl using this one will agree with me.......

  • i hav bought this phone 1 month before,and i can belive that this phone is still new to me..it has many features..and its look is marvellous.its sound quality is awesome and is much cheaper in rate...

  • This is best phone I ever had. I am a phone fanatic and the phone got all the feature I ever wanted. The 256 MB memory if not that bad but if it had the extra memory slot the phone would by perfect. Anyway 256MB if very good for a mobilephone. Video and still pictures are alright. Hey guys is it possible to develop the pictures from the phone to ordinary photos? If so how is the photo quality?

  • Hi, ths is jatin sharma, i like this phne, because of its, Sound , and its BooferSystem, i m gonna buy it as soon as get my salary

  • Hi everyone, i'd just like to say that i've had this phone since it came out here in the uk, its the best phone i've ever had, (used to be a nokia fan, but i've been won over by sony ericsson)i've never had any problems with my w550i, the only problem i did have was my fault & not the phones, all i can say to anyone with any problems is that its a ashame & you're missing out on a really good phone.

  • well guys i m really exited abt da phone i m sure its a very good phone but its sony erricson so i dont know wat to do i really like this phone but i want a durable phone is it...that orrrrr????

  • i really love my w550i.and i was the first one who saw it in the snoyericsson site.but i have some problem with it.for example it is not supported good by diffrent sites.and there is not any good software for it in any sites.like dictionary...and manything else. but it is very very very good phone mobile.

  • this is the best phone. hope price comes down to Rs8000 by september.. its sooo sexy

  • I had this phone but took it back and changed it after it had to go to back to SonyEricsson 3+ times for repairs and software upgrades. Sony never admitted the phone has a fault although the store owner told me that there had been lots of complaints about it. I even worked out a way to permanently crash the phone, hah! they should use me for beta testing. Just go to your games folder and go to delete all. Then as it starts to delete try to cancel that action. The phone will freeze up and give you blank screen. The only way out is to take the battery out and even then the phone won't turn back on! Buggy as all hell! My advice is to get the absolute latest software version possible and just maybe the phone will be ok. I admit that it was a great phone, with good memory nad music capability and bluetooth was excellent, but in the end it just had too many bugs for me to keep it. I need reliability.

  • ahsan..be disgraced.. firstly..is "Symbian".. not "simbin".. nxt time use short form also use the more appropriate one plz.. nokia phone wnt hv such good quality of sounds and display.. that is ur comment about W550 but i think u hv no right to say this phone is suck..

  • A great phone after a long time using my J300 I feel that this W550 phone was very awesome! Kindly anyone knows here I can get original style-up cover for this great phone? thank you

  • 1) Can one changes Radio Station using the Button provided on the Headset (Like in Nokia Phones) ? 2) While copying MP3 Files from PC, do we have to give Numbers to the MP3 Files or will the files be copied in the order of droping ? 3) Can we create folders/ albums / Playlist in the Cellphone ? 4) Can we change to tracks using the button provided in the Headset ? 5) As soon as one song is over, will the player play the next track automatically or do we have to press any button to play next track ? Thanks in advance for answering to my above Queries.

  • i am planning to buy this but i wanna know whether its blue tooth is compatible with all phones like nokia or motorola and which type of files it does not support for downloading

  • i own this phone week ago and its grate this is the best phone i have used ever. i m little worried about my battery life while using handset it ges down little quickley. if anyone getting this problem or just me only and also about camara cant we zoom in megapixel mode. please reply me. thanks

  • this phone is brill! everything is amazing such as the camera, games, design,the memory, picture quality and ecspecially the sound quality this phone is excellent if ur into music this is the phone for you!

  • hi......plzzz anyone will tell me that how can we change the firmware of this phone and from where can we get the firmware and how can i know that which firmware are we using??????

  • i have used the phone before,, its amazing, all the features are awesome.. i specially love the vibration facility

  • At last I've finally managed to repalace my N-gage QD for a sony ericsson w550 and let me tell u all that its a great phone and worth the money. I've been using it for 2 weeks now. The layout and shape of the phone are great but rather thick if u wanna put it in a pocket. The screen display is good enough and really bright in the dark. The keypad is comfortable to use since the keys are a bit larger than other mobiles. The camera is 1.3 megapixel with nightmode, funny frames, burst mode, and also a flashlight to help u take photos in dark areas. The photos on a PC look nice but keeps u wishing for more and also the same for video clips. nightmode in this phone is just a bad option in the camera..The pics are blurry even when the flashlight is on..but u can get better results if u only turn of the flash without activation of nightmode. The phone has a shared memory of 256MB and that leaves about 232MB for the user. I think its a really good memory to store photos, and MP3 songs. The walkman is just the masterpiece of this great cell phone. The sound is really great from the loudspeakers or the included headsets and even on a bluetooth headset! This walkman application has a stereo widening feature which allows u to make the singer's voice as an echo. It also has an equalizer with the megabass feature. You can also set ur phone on startup to use the walkman only without logging into the GSM network if u were on a plane or a place the mobile phone usage is prohibited. The FM radio is also a good feature in this phone. It supports RDS (radio data system) which is a small text line broadcasted from the radiostation that gives u advertisements and also information about the played song or program or news. Unfortunately u cant use the sound equalizer for radio but the sound is ok. the radio suppots auto save for stations and automatic scan. u can also rename ur 30 saved radio stations. In the entertainment section, you will find interesting Java Games, Music DJ, photo DJ and Video DJ which allow to edit ur pics, videos, or creating a new MIDI ringtone. A simple sound recorder is also located under entertainment and it also records calls without any beep during the call. That means this dictaphone saves ur privacy. Messaging is average for all sonyericsson phones and it supports SMS, EMS, MMS, instant messaging, and also voicemail. the reaction of the keypad is good while writing SMS but a bit slow when adding spaces or when moving back to letters after number mode. the browser of this phone supports GPRS (at least in my network operator)its really simple to use and the webpage is neatly displayed on the phone's screen. Infrared and bluetooth are simply compatible with all other phones and PC's and u will find no problems. You can also remote control ur PC using ur W550 that means controlling the mouse, keyboard, and also viewing phone pics on ur PC screen! The organizer section contains alarms, world clock, calender, tasks, notes, timer, stopwatch, calculator, flashlight, and also a code memo to save certain codes and passwords. The phone also has a great file manager in order to organize, rename, delete,and move all file types. Ofcourse files that are not supported are automatically sent to the others folder and u can send them via bluetooth or infrared. The phone themes are really intersting. They can change the layout of ur phone and the wallpaper completely. Orange themes are the best. and u can download more SAFE themes from The package of the phone includes a headset, charger, menus, quick guide menus, USB cable, and also extra ear plugs 4 ur headset and also a white extra cover which ads a more classic look to the phone. Changing the front cover was problem since it was very delicate and hard to pull out and that caused my white front cover to break but no problem since the orange one looks really great on the phone but not everytime or in formal meeting or something like that There are also grey and black covers available for the phone and black is nice also. The phone could be easily connected to the PC via cable. A windows XP operating system will recognize the phone as a USB external drive. If u need any extra information about the phone dont hesitate to email me: [email protected] I love this phone alot...maybe I will stick to sonyericsson phones from now on ;)

  • Hi Vivi, R u using any MP3 as the ringtone?...In that case the song will continue from the begining untill the ring ends. In case of some Nokia fones, there is a option "Ring Once"....but in SE W550i, there is no such option. I can't find the real reason here. If the problem continues, u may go to a nearby SE Service Centre to check what is the actual problem. Hope the problem will b solved soon.

  • hi guys this phone is great but i do have one query the ringtones which is provided with the phone all ringing for only one time. in other words its not repeating why is it so?can anyone help me.

  • How can i download music video into this w550i phone.I need to know more guide about how to download my favourite vedoe clip and music to use as my mp3 tone. thank you

  • thank u so much SUN!

  • Hi Just Curious, First of all I want say that we can't know how much memory is reserved for SMS (in terns of Kb or MB) in W550i. In specification it is mentioned that the Contacts capacity is 1000 but in case of SMS nothing is mentioned (and for most of the fones available in the market, SMS storing capacity is not mentioned). U can store msgs in ur SIM and Fone memory. In my country, India, I can store approx 48-50 msgs in my Inbox (I use a Hutch connection). Apart from that, u can store approx 17-18 msgs (depending on their size) in 'Saved Msgs' folder (this uses fone memory). Also u can store approx 20 msgs in the Template folder (this on euses fone memory too). There r other 3 folders like "Drafts", "Outbox" and "Sent Msgs".....but they r not actually dedicated to store msgs. So it will b better if u store or delete msgs at the time of receiving...otherwise according to my knowledge, there is no scope to increase the SMS Storing Capacity by installing new Firmware etc.

  • Hi Simran, I have explained how to use the USB Cable with the PC and the method of transfering files in Page 2. Kindly refer to that and I think that will help u.....

  • I cant send or recieve picture messages. Can anyone tell me how to fix this.

  • very problems in this cell for examle no externel card big prob is that it is not simbin this is big prob from simbim point of view its poor and it is so expensive its my opinion that NOKIA6600 is better than this cell its just poor

  • this phone is really wonderful. you wont know how great it is until you get it. have been using it for about one week. and everything is just as great. CHEERIOS! but i accidentally deleted the game inside the phone. is there anyway i could revive it?

  • An exellent phone. had it for a while now. holds plenty of songs at pictures etc.... The camera is brilliant and so is the sound quality on the walkman! would reccomend to anyone.

  • since i dropped my w550, it always restart by itself :( sucks! the cam also bad quality. may be i will change it with w810

  • @_reigh_ the hook at the top is the antenna not an accessory lol.many phones have the antenna internally (inside the phone) but this features it externally (outside the phone). still equal quality though. @obsession the two buttons at the top are just for gaming for the "games console experience":P and may i just say they are quite hard to use - probably if you have big thumbs :D. @ sandy its a five way dpad and very reliable so no its not a joystick , the swivel action will only get loose if you intend on breaking it and constantly open and close it rapidly and may i just say that as this is a manual swivel phone and not sn automatic spin up one, its harder for the hinges or anything to get loose unlike w900i which is more of a possiblity to get loose.

  • Can some1 tell me about those 2 buttons above the phone's dislay??? plzzz

  • Could somebody tell me whether is it a Joystick button or other, is it giving problems like the 610 buttons. Does any problem arise out of the swivel function ?

  • hey every1. jus 1 question...does n e 1 kno wat is that big hook thingy at the top of the fone is 4? my fwends says it so i can put about 50 of those lil hanging naruto characters on...lol

  • Hi everybody! There's one word to describe this one: "feel-good!".. I haven't been using it for a long time(3 weeks) but till now I am absolutely satisfied. I hope I don't fall into software trouble like some of the users in here! One can understand the pros and cons reading the specifications..But can see better from own experience,,so -- Very good, shiny screen with cheerfull menu!Very good resolution! --The phone is really,really fast! (I have 60MB free I don't know if I fill more) --Best sound I have ever heard --With an average of 30 mins of talking, 30 mins of gaming, 30 mins of walkman and a couple of hours browsing menu functions and camera, the battery lasts easily for 4 days.In any case the battery seems to be good. --Nice design (my opinion), uplifting colors --The camera is indeed not very good-maybe too pixelated-even in good light conditions. But I like the variety of settings for the camera and especially the panoramic shooting. --easy to use despite having so many buttons. --the "rubberish" cover feels more classy compared to cheap plastic of any kind.. My opinion is that if this phone had memory card extension--256MB,actual 232MB, is good but limited---it would be a MUST buy cause it is top in almost every other aspect.

  • Exquisuit telephone. exquisit. I brought this phone last week for �75.99 sim free. It is very good. i think you can do anything with it. My friend Andrew lost his and now he is wishing death upon himself! - It means so much.

  • Thank You very-very much, Sarit.

  • really good phone

  • Anybody can tell me that how to check GPRS on Sony w550 cellphone? Is it necessary to create internet profile? How to acquire settings from service providers (airtel) to use GPRS??

  • Hi All, I am just trying to give some answers of the asked questions, i can't assure u that all my answers will be 100% benificial, but most of them will be......i hope.... (1)In the Standard Package, everybody should get a USB Data Cable coz it is a part of that package (also the driver cd). If there is no USB Cable, just insist to ur local vendors to check the issue properly. (2)Using USB Cable: First, install the Driver Softwares and other softwares (Particularly for PC Sync and File Transfer must be installed)....and pls do not use the Disc2Fone software coz it has a bad reputation and also not flawless. After installaiton finishes, then if necessary RESART ur PC. Then connect the USB Cable to ur fone's port and then in the computer's front or back panel USB port. WIthin a second, there will b a msg "new hardware found" (WIndows XP) and after a few sconds, a new PHONE DRIVE will be created apart from ur pc's existing hard drive partitions and cd-drive, floppy drive etc. In the meantime, look at the fone, when u connect the fone to ur Pc via USB, the fone restarts and then two options come :PHONE MODE and FILE TRANSFER. Select FILE TRANSFER mode to transfer files (else select PHONE MODE for PC Sync etc.......N.B: When u select FILE TRANSFER mode, all other functionalities of the fone (menu search, call out, call in etc. will be inactive, they are active in PHONE MODE). Next, to transfer files, simply COPY ur audio-video-pictures etc and PASTE them in the PHONE DRIVE. They will be stored in the FILE MANAGER folder of the fone. After completing ur transfers, first click on 'SAFELY REMODVE HARDWARE' in the Taskbar and then select the USB Device and then only remove ur USB Cable from the PC. ***Transfering files (be it audio, video, pics, themes, games etc are very fast). ***Whenever u attach the fone with ur PC (irrespective of the MODES selected, the fone will be charged automatically. WORD OF CAUTION: To avoid White Screen problem and frequent hang-ups..... (a)Don't use Disc2Fone Software. (b)Upgrade ur Firmware version (mine is CXC1250031 R4CB020 000000). (c)After using USB Cable, detach after completing 'Safely Remove Hardware' task. (d)Don't transfer too many files at a time and don't fill up all the storage space coz that may cause the fone to behave slowly.

  • hi every1 have a few comments on this phone! it only has 256 mb of storage space - take 30 of that storage space away so ur phone dont consist any problems which becomes 226mb also take away another 30mb for firmwave upgradence = 186 mb and finally take away the amount that is already stored on the phone that you cant delete n ur left with around 180mb so dont be exicted by that big number "256" because its not that much ( also if u ike to download games as my self )!!!! if you want a music phone then DO NOT BUY THIS u wont have enough storage space!!! if u want a good walkman phone either go for w800i , w900 or w810 NOT THIS !! but if u just like the design and wuldnt mind a few tracks here a few pics there and games etc then this is the phone for you ! but if you want more than just here and there than i recommend the other selection of choices - its your call :)
