The Sony Ericsson K550i is a very good entry-level
phone.
The K550i is the upgraded version of the popular
K510i, but it's massively
more powerful, borrowing many features from Sony Ericsson's flagship
K800i Cyber-Shot phone. The
camera is a 2 megapixel camera with a photo light and digital zoom,
that includes the autofocus feature first found in the K800i. Instead
of a fixed focus camera, with autofocus you can ensure that the
subject of your photo is firmly in focus, leading to noticeably
sharper images. The K550i features "picture blogging"
- take a picture and send it straight to your own image blog for
friends and family to view. There's also a good quality video camera.
The phone delivers on the music front too. It includes
an FM radio as well as a music player. Sound quality is excellent,
as you'd expect from the company that makes the top-selling Walkman
range of music phones. The K550i is compatible with stereo headphones
and Bluetooth wireless stereo headsets - both are available as optional
accessories from Sony Ericsson. A very welcome feature is the generous
amount of internal memory (64 Mbytes - enough for about a dozen
songs) and the support for a Memory
Stick Micro™ card, available in sizes up to 2 Gbytes. As
with the Walkman phones, the K550i is equipped with two useful music
features: TrackID™ & PlayNow™. TrackID lets you record
a few seconds of a song, and then get the track, artist and album
information sent directly to your phone. PlayNow is a service for
downloading music and games to your phone (you have to pay for these.)
Available in a choice of black or white, the K550i
is a compact and lightweight phone that looks very attractive (it's
much less of a brick than the K800i
for example). The buttons are smaller than most Sony Ericssons,
but are not so difficult to use as they are well spaced out and
project a millimetre or so above the surface of the phone. However,
they do have a tendency to stick. The display is a good quality
TFD LCD screen that retains good visibility in sunlight and is of
a high resolution. At 176 x 220 pixels, it isn't as fine as the
display on the K800i, but
it's double the number of pixels of the K510i
and is average for this price range.
Other useful features worth mentioning are the
built-in speakerphone, sound recorder (for recording voices or other
sounds), quadband support (for using the phone worldwide) and flight
mode. There's good internet support too: EDGE for fast downloads,
a web browser, and support for blogging and RSS feeds. Battery life
is good.
We are impressed by the K550i. It's a great value
for money phone that really offers more than it should! If only
Sony Ericsson had put in a decent keypad!
Features of the Sony Ericsson K550i include:
2 megapixel camera with autofocus, 2.25x digital
zoom and photo light
Memory: 64 Mbytes plus Memory Stick Micro™
(M2™) support
Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB mass storage, infrared
Web browser, RSS feeds
WAP, GPRS, EDGE
Vibration alert
Flight mode

Recieved this mobile last week, I was so nervous as i sold my brand
spanking new SE S500i lovely phone but not to my liking as i am
not keen on slides. However the K550i outclasses it by a long way
in my opinion, better sound, larger fonts which is great for me
as i dont have to wear glasses to read a text now, definately not
a down grade, my advise is go and buy it oh just one little niggle

I shouldn't have taken it to the beach! Or maybe there should be

This phone is totally amazing. Firstly the picture quality is superb,
it produces such a clear picture. The sound is fab. The phone is
light and small to carry around and not at all bulky. I wish they
could have made the camera zoom in on normal mode but you can zoom
in on burst mode so that makes up for it. What really impresses
me about this phone is that you can play a range of different formats
like WMA which is great as you can store more tracks on the phone.
The built in memory is huge and you can even buy a 1 gig memory
card for only £10 off amazon. The phone is solid and doesnt have
a plasticy feel to it. However i with they made the back of the
phone which lifts up to reveal the battery stronger but it is also
made out of pretty tough plastic which is hard to break. the FM
radio is great and is really clear. Eventhough not many themes or
other applications have been made for the phone, I recomend that
download themes/application designed for the K750i. The bluetooth
transfer is super fast and when transfering files from PC to phone
they also transfer super fast. Eventhough on my D600 i had world
time, i just downloaded a similar application for free. This phone
is a cyber shot and walkman phone and you definatly are getting
your money's worth its like a 2 in 1 phone. I would recomend this
phone to everyone. I tried out the camera on K750 and it is really
grainy eventhough it is 2.0 mp but this the K550i is 2.0 mp and
is really clear and non grainy. The keypad buttons are different
in style and take a bit of getting used but are easy to use whren
you get the hang of it. The phone has a very stylish design.I love

of a budget phone, without and of the negative. If you are having

Omg this phone is the best i have ever had I was scared i was trading
down from my w810i but i think i traded up by a long way. The fact
i can update my blog staright away from my phone is an ausome feature.
and the camera quality is ausome too. Dont be startled by its awesome
look, even though it looks fantastic and so astetically pleasing
to the eye, the price is low to. I payed only £15 for the handset
with a cheap monthly tarrif. I think everyone should buy this phone
also. Its really fantastic! Rating:

This phone has great features and looks brilliant. The only downpoints,
the reception isn't as good as my previous phone. I am now on my
second replacement and this phone seems to have developed the same
fault as the last, when you get a text or a call the screen goes
blank for a few seconds, it also seems to take a few seconds to
react to any key press, this can get extremely frustrating! Rating:

I bought this phone, but i feel the memory given for this phone
is less, as the features tempt us to download a lot of things,For
which i will hav to buy a memory stick now. The battery once charged
can be used max for 48hrs. The pics resolution is not that great
indoors. Rating:

grainy. appart from that though, its a good phone i would recomend!

I think k550i is a good phone but it has some features I dislike.
First, its has a Cyber-Shot camera and its camera result is not
better than K750i. Pics at night are of very low quality. Secondly,
it's keys are not good. you have to make an effort just to press
them correctly. The pic- capturing button is too soft and it gets
pressed whenever you hold the phone. On the other hand its camera
is awesome at day time i.e. in the Sunlight or in a bright room.
It's bluetooth transfer rate is great. Its sound quality is good(not
as good as a Walkman Phone but since it's not a Walkman phone ,no
one expected its Sound quality to be that good. its has got good
features. I wish Sony had the folder protection feature as Samsung.
In my ratings, the phone just b/c of its few drawbacks fall in the
'Good' category Rating:

This is a very good phone. I purchased it 1 month ago. However as
i had used a walkman phone before, i wish the sound quality was
as good... Anyway it has a fantastic camera, a good photo editor
(with all those red eye reduction settings and stuff...). The only
thing i did not like was purchasing a 512MB M2 card - It's very
expensive. SE could have provided us with atleast 256 MB. And the
memory card cannot be hot swapped. But anyway its a great phone.
I love it. Rating:

I got this phone a month ago...after 2 days the number 4 button
was really stiff and was a mission to use especially with text messages.
Phoned Orange, got a new phone...3 days later same thing happened
with same number and also the number 6 button, Phoned Orange and
they sent me a 3rd phone. It was fine until 10 days later. The numbers
were ok, but suddenly the screen started going blank everytime i
got a text message, and a call, couldnt see who it was from before
i answered it. Called orange and they offered me same phone or two
other rubbish ones. I would seriously think about getting this phone...
i cant see how i could have been unlucky with the same phone 3 times!!! Rating:

Got this two days ago and so far have not been too impressed. Keys

I did a lot of research before buying this phone. My Sony Ericsson
T610 was a solid performer however the K550 is a great phone. It
looks the business, great screen, loads of features including a
not bad camera and great MP3 player. Not really sure what else you
would want in a phone and the price wasn't bad either with Virgin
Mobile. Only complaint -not too good at acquiring a signal - however
could be the area I live in. An outstanding phone worthy of 5 stars. Rating:
