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

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

Bought this phone... and using it for almost 1 year I guess? For me, the camera is a bit weak, just 2MP... but it takes ok pictures :)

The thing I find most weird is that at many times, the phone sorta shuts down by itself. I dont know how but it shuts down. Just a few hours ago, while on the phone with my wife, I tried to adjust the volume using one of the side buttons... and it shut down! (like a shutdown short cut key :P)...

Another thing I don't quite understand is the headphone jack. I have to play around with it to get my MP3 songs to play in both ear phones... (normally, when I plug it in, only one earphone has sound).

Overall though, this phone is OK. Not to say excellent.. but OK. Quite strong too, dropped it a few times until the screen 'bled'... but still usable.
At first, hated the keypad as the keys were too small, but finally got used to it.

i've been using this phone for more than 2.5 years now.
overall it's a great phone.
- super battery life
- perfect picture quality (day-time)
- good sounds
- handy organizer applications
- etc etc etc....

but..
- camera flash is not good for night time photos (i dnt care though)
- handsfree/charger connector is bit messy now. since i used to keep this in ma pocket for long time specially when im seating a lot, the saltiness in the sweats might let the connector to get corroded. (yeah it's my fault, not the phone)

BUT STILL I LOVE THIS PHONE. WORTH THE PRICE.
