Sony Ericsson W550 - user opinions and reviews

Sony Ericsson

Well , im looking to buy this phone. The only thing that worries me a little is that

1)it has a built in 256 MB and no card slot.im afriad that it might be a problem in the future when 256mb is no longer enough.only upgrade option is for a new phone =P

2)is there a sound quality difference no the Ear Phones, when using a k750 and a w550?

If theres anyone who has already bought this phone, do give a feed back on how u felt about it. THanks..

if you want a walkman phone a wud advise on the sony erricson W800i you get 34mb internal memmory and a 512mb memmory card whitch you can expand to 4gig! the computer am on at the moment hasent got a hard drive that big? but it is old tho but the W800i is amasing it has everything and all cables for your computer e.c.t

no it does not support any kind of external memory.
guys pls read the specificaion before write any commments for discussion.

Hyder, thanks. i think 5 sec is pretty fast transfer. I hate using bluethoot for mp3 transfer it takes almost 3-4 min. i know it can play video in full screen mode. Can u tell me one more thing , does the video player got fast-forword n rewind function. I know other W family phones doesnot have that funtion.

raju, i think u must be stupid to sell 7710 just to buy this phone. coz this is totally different catogory phone , u cannot compare with these 2 phone.

I bought this phone yesterday.
The sound quality is excellent.No camparison.I say that the quality of earphones are equal to iPod.
One thing i din't like was the quality of the camera.Worst.Earlier I WAS USING 6681 & 6670 AND THERE CAMERA QUALITY WAS FAR BETTER.
If anyone just wants music then go for it.

I'm not sure about the transfer speeds on USB to the Phone... But I do know that the phone supports full screen play-back :)

Yes Rachel it does tell you that infact all SE mobiles do!
I own a K750i & i've used other SE phones previously so m sure of that.
Btw i guess a K750i or an W800i are better buys then either the W550i or W600i, or you rather wait for the W900i!

The phone is not nice after seeing it. It's quite thick and the antena looks ugly. K750 would be a better choice if they cost about the same price.

Hi, I'm getting this phone from Hong Kong, but I live in Canada and my carrier is Rogers Wireless. Can somebody tell me whether or not this phone will work for me? TIA.
