Sony Ericsson K550i Cyber-shot

The Sony Ericsson K550i is one of a number of new phones that Sony Ericsson have just recently released. It is a Cyber-shot phone meaning that it is and an ideal mobile phone for taking pictures with. The Sony Ericsson K550i is an extremely stylish phone and it will look great wherever you take it. Weighing in at just 85 grams the phone is very light and it won't weigh you down or be a burden to carry round all day. The Mobile has a nice feel to ...
...one looked better. The Sony Ericsson comes with a really nice 262k TFT colour screen which has a nice resolution which is great for viewing the photos you will take using this phone. The phone comes with some decent animated background wallpapers but you can download new ones if you don't like them. I'm sure you won't bother as the pre loaded wallpapers are fine. As well as being able to use wallpapers as backgrounds you can use your own photos ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K550i Cyber-shot

Another year, another phone. This time, fed up of buying I decided to go on contract, and after looking through the selection on the Virgin website decided on this little beauty which was free on my 12 month contract. Look & Feel ---------------- The first thing that attracted me to this phone was its cute little looks. Black casing with a large screen and tiny little silver buttons. The blue backlight caught my eye too. Its small compact size ...
...bulge when carrying it about in your pocket and it also means I can hide it well in work! There are shortcut buttons around most of the phone, and by a press you can be listening to your favourite songs or being a budding photographer. The sliding lens cover at the back is a great idea to protect the camera and also doubles as a short cut to launch the camera. Range of features -------------------------- Camera Being called a 'cybershot' phone ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K550i Cyber-shot

...I used to own a Sony Ericsson a few years ago, but switched to a Samsung due to its sleek looks, but I am very happy to return, as the Sony is so much easier to use. The first thing you notice about the phone when picking it up is its light weight and large screen, perfect for taking photo with the 2 megapixel camera. Mine came in black with silver buttons and looks great, albeit not as sleek at the some of the slide-down phones lke the Samsung ...
...be augmented by inserting a sony memory card. Though pricey, this is clever way of storing your music and images and allows you to free up the rest of your phone's memory. Other extra features that impressed me were some of the fun auxiliery applications included. These include the Track ID software, that can identify music that is playing around you; the Photo DJ, Video DJ and Music DJ that let you play around and alter the music, image or video ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K550i Cyber-shot

I bought the phone as a replacement for my tired looking Nokia 6230i. The phone cost only £79.99 from Carphone Warehouse (that was with trade in and the free £10 credit). Anyway here are the main features: Design The design for this phone is very eyecatching, and makes it look alot more expensive than it really is. The phone is only 14.5mm thick so will go unoticable in jeans pockets, yet still have enough depth to fit well in oyur palm. Thin, ...
...these often frighten potential customers away (fearing for their fingers safety), they are really very comfortable and easy to use. On the back of the phone is an active lens cover (camera turns on when opened), this is a good feature as it protects the camera however I fear that in a years time it may be quite loose. Features: The phone features all the usual things found on phones today Messaging, MP3 Player, Radio, Games etc. Some other good ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K550i Cyber-shot

I have owned the K550i for a year now and it's still going strong. I have not had any major issues with it since purchase and the only downsides i can think of is that once in a while when texting some of my keys freeze up a bit but they do quickly unfreeze. This is not a major problem as it now only happens once every 2 or so weeks (by the way this only started recently). The user interface is easy to use and i have downloaded different themes from ...
...the phone i paid £50 for which i feel is good value for money since it performs most if not all the tasks that a higher end phone performs and now being ayear on i am sure it is cheaper. Overall i think the phone is reliable, quite good lookling but durable. ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K550i Cyber-shot

When you think Sony Ericsson and Phone, you just have a picture of an expensive walkman thing that's just hyped up. Not with the K550i! It is now quite cheap to pick up and to be honest, it's not much far behind newer phones. The K550i is an upgrade to the incredibly popular K500i and it's just so much better! The camera isn't awesome at 2MP but ample, but that's only half the story. This phone takes some stunning pictures which when first viewed ...
...taken with only a 2mp camera. The video is equally impressive. In fact, both the camera and video are much better quality than many supposedly better and more expensive phones. And then there's the music player which as expected is of top sound quality. 64MB internal memory isn't going to store more than 1 album at most but the compatibility for a Memory Stick Micro card up to 2gig is a reasonable solution. As per usual, it has TrackID where you ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K550i Cyber-shot

Well i am using this mobile for last one year and it is good in my opinion but not extra-ordinary. The features i love are EDGE, bluetooth, track ID, e-mail, GPRS, ==my experience== This mobile was a dream to me, when i bought this mobile in december'2007 I was just amazed by the phone but now I am familier with all the problems and good features of this mobile. First of all the tiny and hard keypad is really miserable , when i try to write a sms ...
...problem now I use my pc mobile software in linux to send sms when I am in home. Before this one I had sony-ericsson K510i. Which was a great phone with much less price. Another great problem with this K550i is that its USB port , when i try to connect it to my pc via a data cable maximum times my pc can not find a connected device. I have to re-insert again again to make my pc to identify this mobile. First i thought that is might be with my pc problem ...

The sony ericsson K550i cyber-shot is a good phone as takes good pictures and videos easy to use e.g to text, call, play music, play games e.t.c . My k550i worked perfectly for about a month the the no.4 button started to not work that well example: when i exted some one whe i pushed that button it would'nt do anything. i have this phone for about 10 months now and now the scree n keeps going blank for about 20 secounds for no reason also when i ...
...dead and stops the convosation. so i fink this phone isnt very good but that is my opinion u might disagree with me also it might just be my phone that is rubish not the others. So thank you for reading this review also this phone looks really good feels really good and is an alright size but i would like to have a slightly slimmer phone. ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K550i Cyber-shot

Great phone, easy-to-use interface, several phonebook utilities, nice entertaiment features like videogames (some good ones can be free downloaded online),music and videoplayer (the videoplayer is specially good but it's only good for the own captured videos). The connectivity is great, with several ways to connect to other devices like bluetooth, internet, infrared. The battery can last more than a week if you use it only for a couple of short calls ...
...one click, even if the phone is keylocked. The expandable memory is a great feature (specially if you want to use the phone as a music player), you can get cheap M2 cards with 2 or 4 Gb (even more but the compatibility is not proven yet). My only critics to the phone are the quality of the camera (it can be really good but you need good light and stay really still) and that it doesn´t have the possibility to personalize some details concerning vibrating ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K550i Cyber-shot

I WILL DO MY REVIEW WITH A SUBHEADING TO EACH SECTION AND I WILL RATE EACH SECTION DEPENDING ON THE WAY I FEEL TOWARDS THAT SECTION, THANK YOU AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY REVIEW. Processing/Quality= This phone is not very slow to use, in fact as soon as you click on the phone pad your phone responds very quickly to your commands and does the command almost instantly. In some very rare times your phone may freeze on some occasions for example i.e, I ...
...SUDDEN MY PHONE FROZE AND I COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, I HAD TO RESTART MY PHONE AND WAIT UNTIL I COULD USE IT AGAIN. I must remind you that this was only on 2 rare occasions which i pressed too many buttons. I will have to rate this a 4/5 because i was disappointed of the fact that it froze but only once in a blue moon. Processing/Quality= 4/5 Reliability= This phone is very reliable because i have had it for 2yrs now and only on rare occasions ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K550i Cyber-shot

This phone is available from almost every mobile contractor and is very common. I have one but mine is in a plum colour which is especially made for the Carphone Warehouse. It cost me £60 which I thought was rather cheap. For the price, the phone is amazing. The menu is easy to manage, the camera takes amazing pictures and it does have a lot of space on it. It plays MP3's so easily plays music files or funny ringtones. The battery life is quite good. ...
...four days and I leave my phone on overnight. The games aren't extremely grand but you can easily download some if that's what you want a phone for. You can set a special ringtone and picture to certain numbers and the phone takes M2 memory cards if you want more space for more files. It also has the radio on the phone and comes with headphones. It has an organiser which has an alarm which goes up even if the phone is turned off, a calendar, timer, ...

The K550i Cyber-shot mobile phone is small slim and shiney! A high quality camara thats very verrry easy to use and the low price is just a bonus! Bluetooth, infared, and a memory card slot for storing all your photos, music and videos! what more could you ask for! The only downfall i can find is the small buttons and small screen which may cause difficulty for the older genaration, i love it though! ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K550i Cyber-shot

When i first walked into my local mobile phone shop looking to buy a new phone, the first thig i thought was "i want e decent camera". i have had cybershot phones before and new they were good quality so i had a look. This phone came to my attention. I couldn't believe the price. i got it for £45.00 with the salesman's discount. I had a quick demo of it and was happy to buy it for the price. It has pretty much all of the features of the other Cybershot ...
...of between them is the camera. this one has only a 2 megapixel camera while the others mainly have a 3.2 mega pixel camera. Even so, the quality of the picture is barely noticeable. It also has all the camera features that the ether models have such as "panoramic picture" and "burst mode" and it has a flash which can be set to automatic mode or manually turned on constantly. Brilliant value for the price. ...
