perfect replacement of k750i.by reading review i found.
1)no megabass 2)ancient Qcif video 3)max limit of memmory card upto 1GB 4)no outlet for memmory card externally like k750i you have to open the battery cover for inserting memmory card 5)no usb cable provided in package 6)why is fast port kept in left side
,it touches in hand could get dirty.

but all around it is a nice feature rich phone in a compact size.hope its price equal
to k750i or some more

I would like to compare the k750i cam with k550i cam. eager for the results,

i think cybershot is just a name, no way it cant get the same class as that of k800 or k810i.

One important things lens diameter is 3.8mm while the k750i is 4.8mm

I just bought this phone yesterday which changed from motorola 1200 from samsung from nokia 6230i..etc verdict : GREAT PHONE
pros : best quality sound, best quality pictures, cool graphics , lotsa functions.
cons: don't know yet but wil let you all know soon. btw, the keypad kinda hard to get used to coz its kinda tiny but do yu always send text? do you always dial phone nos?
the casing is solid that you wont bothe if it falls on the floor/ground.ask me if u got any question..

Atlast SE is on the right track by using circular navigation instead of joystick, joystick was a trade sercet in SE's marketing. In many cases it even stopped working in the one year warranty period. and unlucky those from whom the joystick stopped after the warranty period(eventually you would had to replace your set). I'm presently using k 510i, for which it was pretty much highlighed that its joystick is ultra reliable, after only 5 months of use, it has started missing my moves, and that was only reason for which i hated SE.
I would say to new buyers of SE that avoid SE's joystick phones.

cmon guys!! please read the review instead of askin question that been wrote in review.. 512 mb included.. better than k750i?? slightly a bit better since it comes with edge and flight mode but the camera still k750 better and this one using TFD which K750i using TFT. Of coz TFT consumes more batt power but color are more accurate. Anyone asking megabass? No it not comes with megabass since this is not walkman phone.. PLEASE READ THE REVIEW BEFORE POSTING QUESTION ok... thanks

K550 = K750i with K800i interface and a couple more stuff.

At least it's quadband, which is a HUGE plus over the K750i.

@searchforthebestmobi
* Can anyone comment on the quality of mp3 playback compared to W810i?

it would be worse because 1) no megabass, 2) factorydefault headphones are inferior

* W810i has a cool GUI with a great font. How is it on K550i?
it uses the exact same user interface
