@to the guy below me and for soumya:

take a look of what's important to you,

-do you need 16m screen QVGA one(6300)? or contented with a 262144 colors in 176x220 is enough(k550)...
-do you need 3G(6300) otherwise you'll just have EDGE(k550)
-do you need autofocus camera and photolight and many more(k550)? otherwise you just need snap and share only(6300).
-do you want the slimmer one(6300 11mm)? or you're contented with the V3 razr thinness(k550 14mm).
-do you need much much more memory of up to 4GB other than having 2GB only. both can accomodate great 2GB but K550 enables 4Gb storage one as of now.
-are you plannin to buy a bunch of accessories for your phone costumization? K550 is SE and SE have lots of them for your choice. nokia has some but sorely lacks costumization.
-and the last bu not the least: do you need ease of use combined with a great costumization in menu(6300) or you need 3D menu animations and a free DYI theme creator(k550)?

that's were some things you might consider to make a decision over the K550 or 6300. but honestly both are good but i'd say K550 is well equipped in multimedia and costumization and 6300 is for communication.

make your choice once you've find out what suits you most.

@Ikuzo:

-there's no way to enable k550 to view youtube at web dude.
-but you can use riva flv converter and a video converter to 3gp so you can view uploaded videos to your phone.

vicky:

i have posted your preferences, you must decide which suits you most.

abhi:
yes all SEs can do that.

kairi:

as simple as choosing better music style or a camera style.

Wada:
yes and you can upgrade it to a whooping 4gb!

This fone has a flight mode also. Its a very good fone for its price. Its 2MP camera (with flash) is great. And it supports all the technologies like bluetooth, infrared, EDGE etc., great fone

@ad07 - I actually own both the W810i and the K550i. The W810i is slightly better in my opinion. Anyway in the K550i box you get the phone, battery, USB cable, Handsfree, Charger, manual, CD and thats about it. The handsfree on this is bog standard in earphones attached to the dongle. The W810i is equal to the K550i in all hardware aspects but comes with the in ear bud type earphones but the dongle has a standard 3.5mm socket in it.

@Wada - No it does not come with a Memory Stick and it uses the new M2 style of Memory Stick.

@Anonymous - The camera on my W810i has always been perfect (for a phone camera).

@soumya - Go to a shop and ask to try them both then make your own mind up.

Stil Qcif, so in terms of video quality, forget it. It's mainly for still photos only. Records only in 3gp format. If you're lookin for real high quality video recording, then go for the more expensive nokia camfones. If you got some cash to burn.

Yup. This fone has a flight mode feature. Certainly. Good thing it's not joystick. Joystick is good for navigating but wears down easily. And I don't want to suffer from joystick problems. Still workin on getting accustomed with the small keypads. Well iMode i think is a web surfin software which is made available only to the k550im model.

Got this phone yesterday. It's a great phone for its price. Got a good photolight that doubles as flash once you capture pics. *now i know* Got 80mb internal mem plus stick micro 64mb. Audio player is good but it doesnt matter to me anyway coz i got creative vidz, so i'm using this phne mainly as camera. keypads seemed to be durable but takes time to get used to. Love the camera shutter, good protection for the lens.

hey sam,
750i rarely hangs and this phone i.e. 550i has EDGE. so i don't think it will ever hang.

i don't think the difference in camera quality between k550i and the old k750 is such a big deal.. i'll personally get k550i, it comes with the latest softwares, it doesn't have JOYSTICK! (w/c breaks down easily) it's SLIM and a great deal, the price is just right.
