well, friends i have study a lot about se k550i , k750i, and w810i, i think among this 3 phone:
for photography SE 750i is best,but havent any edge support, so those who want to use internet
using this phone those become disappoint. in this condition they can chose k550i or w810i,
there is a problem with the new kind of keypad of k 550i, in this section w810i is better(for those who want to sms or brous by the set.)
in a word....
k750i---> is best for photography
k550i---> is best for its features(contain all required function you needed in minimum cost)
w810i---> is best for sms mob. chat. Walkman
of course.
by the way i am confused about the keypad of k550i because i dont have use yet. is it becomes damages if i use it roughly please
ans this question..
and i request gsmarena to compare the camera
of k550i and k750i
please please please
thanks.....

IMO, the K550 is a better device overall than the K750. While the K750 is slightly better in capturing photos in less-than-perfect conditions, the K550 has a better form factor, better design (save for the keypad), better battery life (I have to charge mine once every five days, while my K750 needed a charge every three days) and less weight.
If you loved the K750 because of its features, you'll love the K550 as well because it packs the same punch in a much sexier frame. Although the keypad takes some getting used to (I had a bit of trouble at the start with my 200 a day SMS habit), it performs well and the phone itself is very sturdy (going strong and scratchless after eight drops).
Kudos to SE for a great and budget-friendly phone.

the numeric keys sometimes stick and unresponsive for a fraction of a second. hey,is it possible to turn off the shutter(camera) sound? and is there a way to fast forward/rewind a video clip? thanks in advance for your replies.

hmmm... with regards to GSM Arena's review on this phone, they stated that it has a shorter focal length(3.8mm) compared to the K750 (4.8mm) which then makes the k550 have a smaller sensor so it does not produce pic qualities as good as the k750's... but read this:
"A system with a shorter focal length has greater optical power than one with a long focal length." -from Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
I got quite confused with the two statements because they contradict one another... could someone please explain to me about the focal length in Optics and Imaging please? thanks... here's my e-mail:

Oh, and here's the link to my reference:

thanks all..

I recently bought this phone. I had some doughts regarding all its comments. But it is certainly the budget phone, which has everything you could ask for. I did read about someone saying that the phone is not as sturdy as the K750i. Yes, it does feel filmsy. But I think it is due to the fact that both were made of different materials(which makes the k550i much lighter than k750i). And please stop comparing with the nokia N-series. They are a different catogory of phones(k810, 790 and the upcoming k850 would be better comparisson).Does anyone know where to get quality games for free? And Can someone please tell me how to get the best photographs through your k550i?

dear all.. read about se 550i so much and i am tempted to buy it... but two last doubts...
#1)i am an avid ebook reader and a SMSing freak... would anyone gide me about which software/application will work good in 550i to read ebooks(550i being a java phone..)? if libris ebook reader works on it does it allow us to change the font COLOR of text and the background color? if not then whichpplication will allow me so? this ebook reading habit of mine is the only thing thats holding me back frm buying this phone....
#2)can we extend the memory to 2 gb without hampering the phone's speed and performance?
i would really really appreciate if someone gives an experienced and genuine advice... looking forward toa quick reply... thanks bye... cheers!

Hey Guys/Rohit
Can any of you please tell whether its true that the cell gets heated up in the above half after talking for more than 10 mins.
I have got many such responses from various places and in a ziffy whether to go for it or not.
Request all those who are using to give more info on the subject. Already posted a comment for the same on 2007-09-19 10:12.
Thanks

guys..please dont mislead people....i agree that some people might face some problems but you should not jump and make generalizations.thats my humble request.i talk for 30-40 minutes without any heat up.camera gives excellent results on PC in day light conditions.Sound quality can be improved by using original walkman series headset.FM is stunningly clear. Screen is also not as bad as you guys are describing.(though its my personal opinion).I feel at 8.3k you cant get abetter phone (slim rich look, cybershot brand, EDGE etc.)

The display is the major screwup in k550i and w610i, its hs TFD not TFT. the icon edges look really awaful!.. tft is much crisper than TFD.

I have got to know about a drawback of this phone i.e. the hearing portion (top part of the phone) gets heated up while talking for more than 15 mins.
I first heard it on a mobile shop but ddnt give much weightage thinking of dealer inerest.
Then got to know same from the service center of SE and now one of my friend who has been using it for more than 2 months also said the same thing.
Can anyone throw some light on the same and tell the reality ?
