Sony Ericsson K550 review: A Cyber-shot on a budget - read the full textAlready a magic word in the world of mobile phones, the Cyber-shot brand, has now received a new member. The Sony Ericsson K550 is a feature-rich cameraphone with an enjoyable 2 megapixel camera, nice imaging applications, FM radio and a memory card slot. And all that at a reasonable price that may attract your attention. Anyways, if we’ve managed to grab it, feel free to join us on a tour with the K800’s little brother.

 

a problem with my K550....
when i make a picture as my wallpaper, its being clarityless. and i cant even make the photoes taken by cybershot itself my wallpaper with clarity.
i think its because the screan size is little larger than a usual 2MP camera screan.

Its really a cool phone..and has amazing features.. When comparing to 750i it is better. And it supports real multitasking that can run more than 10 java apps with music playing in background.. Its really superb. Java virtual machine.

i hope SE can design their sim card beds in such a way you dont have to slide it as it damaged the contacts of the sim, i hope they design a bed with a hinged SIM card holder...

I think K550 is an almost perfect phone for mid-end level. This cybershot phone guarantees us with the best photos quality in its class,although K750 is better. Sound quality is loud enough to hear even when we're in crowded place. Unfortunately,it is not a 3G phone, a technology that sets trend in my country Indonesia and a must in advanced country and nowadays era , so be ready to be dissapointed with GPRS speed. Also M2 card memory is more expensive than other card memory type usually used by other vendor handset Overall,its design,camera,multimedia feature is very great.

There seem to be a lot of dud examples of this model - I have one . Other review sites carry lots of reports of buttons sticking/not responding, with mine it's the ghi and mno buttons. And this is the second one I,ve tried. Sony and Carphone Warehouse MUST know this is a common problem amounting to a design or manufacturing fault. Why don't they whithdraw it? Probably because a lot of people are like me and don't make enough of a fuss while their phone is still within it's gaurantee period.

There are no problems with this phone and you CAN zoom in normal mode,all you have to do is go to settings,click on picture size and change it to VGA

Do you always have to turn the speaker on when answering the call (or to press left upper key 3 times)? It is really annoying to not be able to answer the call with a single click... or I just can't find what I'm looking for in settings :)
