Well...for all those who might have a problem with the w610, k550, w810 for lack of a flash and only the two LEDs that cannot take good pictures in low light conditions, you can buy the MXE-60 flash accesory. This gadget can be plugged into the charger port and the phone recognises it as a flash, and gives you the option to use it.

The K550 most definitely has everything one can ask for. The looks, the features and the price.
I think this is also what they felt at SonyEricsson, which is why they couldn't let the phone be too perfect. That *must* be the reason why they decided to ruin the keypad, because I cannot see any other reason. Or was the cost of the plastic too high to make larger keys?
The keypads for the new W&K series are for me the biggest mystery in long time. I hope the heads at the design department will roll.

i have seen the K550 pictures and i can say you're right, it's very sharp and natural. and even in ISO 200 the pictures show only small dots of noise as compared to the K750 pictures seen at esato.com
SE does it's job very well, hope to see the autofocus being standardized at all series=D.

To Putte
Ohhhh !!! Come on !!!!
I said b4 and i ll say it again....Camera is betta than k750i..... i have taken the pics in sunlight,in cloudy weather inside the house etc etc........Hmmmmm!!! i have noiced one thin that its night mode is not that goood.........i mean if u r taking pics outside ur house ,even if u r using the night mode function then still the pics will irritate u a little bit........honestly speakin k750i and w700i both of them were also not good at this ......only w810i is good if compared to these in takin pics at night outside..........
Heyyy !!! i dont have much xtra tym to prove any thin.......But beleive me its much betta than k750i........Hmmmmm!!! 1 reason is may b its screen has a very good and sharp resolution than k750i so may b thats why i feel that it is taking good pics .......and it also has some xtra options in camera mode such as twilight landscape etc etc ........
now if ur really very touchy for camera then pls go 4 N-73 or k800i
Camera is not only the only thin .......
i told u that its shape is really impressive....
k750i has a smaller screen.....while it has a bigger one........k750i i think is a little bit heavier than this.......its screen is not as sharp as k550i......its slimmer.......and afta all k750i is a very very common set.......its position is almost like 6600.....its very very common...even my guard is havin it.........lolx.....pls don mind......
its my advice 2 u that u should go 4 either w810i or k550i not 4 k750i or w700i.......
wait a minute.....
i have just transferred ma pics to my pc......
hey they r great .......clear...sharp ......giv me ur e-mail i ll send some pics if i ll get tym
ok???????

Here's my question
1) Is the phone call volume loud enough to be heard in busy streets ? I don't mean loudspeaker, i mean the speaker which is just on top of that "Sony Ericsson" word.
2) Is the keypad hard to press ?

I've been using this phone for a week and must say that reception is not as great as w810i,why? i dont know. reception goes from 1 to 5 bars back and forth all the time in places where w810 gives you steady 5 bars.
Battery is very good, everything else is fine.

I found a 3GP converter (from 3GP to avi) at www.myk550.lasyk.net. Works fine. If you want to make your own themes then there is S
E:s own theme creator on the same site.

The whole purpose of a cybershot phone is to have the xenon flash. Reason why I upgrade from w810 to k800

To Putte - gsmarena used a beta version of the phone in their test. That is probably why I for instance think that my phone takes better pics than in the review.

How can the gsmarena say that the camera is worse than the K750i and you say its better. I would like to trust you then you have had a K750i. The K750i taks really good pictures and you mean that this one takes even better. Do you have any pictures taken in sunlight?
How can you prove that the camera is that good as you say?
Finally you really think that K550i is much better mobile than K750i?

Hey guys!!! Here are my comments 4 my prestigious K550i:
First of all i wanna tell u , that recently i have used K750i,then i used W810i,then due to some reaseon i went 4 W700i.....now m using K550i.........
(1) some people are sayin that its not betta than k750i and so on....... the design of this set is very impressive if compared to k750i or w700i or even w810i...... its very much slim than above mentioned sets......if i talk about its backside looks then believe me its very very impressive!!! if i talk about its front looks then still its impressive then all those above mentioned sets!!!! i dont know why gsmarena is givin it 7 out of 10 for design!!!! i give it 8.2 ......
2) now for camera:
its a 2 mega pixel camera fone........ speakin about 2 megapixel camera fones let me tell u guys that i have used following 2 megapix fones....
Nokia 6270,N-72 , Sony ericsson w700,w810,and k750i......afta all its a cybershot..i mean guys dont compare it with k750i,w700i ,6270 or n-72 as it will beat the hell out of those......Hmmmm!!! but if u compare it with w810i then pic quality is betta than w810i but the drawback is this that u cant zoom in 2megapix mode........irritating ,,,isint it?????
(3) For ringtones: it is much louder through speakers if u compare it with w700,w810i or k750i.....but still n -72 is the winner!!!
4) for music player: it doesnt have the mega bass .........this is the main drawback.....but still bass elements will not frustrate u and stereo widening is there 2 entertain u ppl......its not in w700i,w810ior k 750i..........
its very much light in weighing and its a great pleasure 2 use it......And keep in mind one thin that m also using n-73 along with my k550i......i m just using k550i as a second handset........But i dont feel any worse to use it afta using my n-73 ,so u can imagine that its really a very good set
MAIN ADVANTAGES: XCELLENT Looks , LENS COVER, GOOD EXTERNAL SPEAKER(LOUD) , GOOD RESOLUTION, GOOD CAMERA,SLIM , NEW DSIGN KEYS,FM-RADIO,GOOD QULAITY of music through headset, STEREO WIDENING....CHROME PLATED LENS COVER,KEYS AND SCREEN BORDERS...............
Main DISADVANTAGES: No Mega bass!!! , ordinary headset is being supplied with the fone , means u ll have to buy walkman headsets.......memory card slot is inside the battery cover......

To Ivan - it does not have Megabass, but sufficient bass anyway.

Does this have the "Megabass" equalizer preset like the K750 does?

-> you'll be needing of a java software to make better videos than the standard one. this is possible by it's platform(JP-7) and no other brand except SE have that java capability. but ther isn't any available at the moment. if you can wait ther will be. just stay updated and visit getjar.com this is where all jar softwares were published.
