Sony Ericsson W550i Walkman

...W550i was the very first Sony Walkman phone, since the W800i has been launched which has an expandable memory, but to me it does not have the unique look of this phone. I purchased the W550i from The Link, the price was £179.99 and it comes on the 02 Network. About the phone:- The phone itself is around 3 inches in length and just over an inch in width. It features a revolving flip; this makes the front part of the phone revolve 180 degrees either ...
...looking for; this is the Sony version of google for wap. The next option is picture gallery this is where you can store your pictures from the phone if you run out of room, or just want to make your pictures available to the world. You can also obtain pictures from this option, a quick glance through lets me find images of almost anything. Next we have Video Gallery, again you can take video with your camera then store it online, or you can download ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W550i Walkman

...write a review on the Sony Ericsson W550i phone because it is an awesome phone. At the time when it first came on the market in 2005, I was working for a mobile phone company, and it was the easiest phone to sell out of all of the possible options on our network. The reason for this is that the phone has a wide variety of functions, an incredibly good battery life, and is cheaper than the other Sony Ericsson phones of a similar quality. The key ...
...Unlike some of the other Sony Ericsson phones, the W550i has a 256mb internal memory which allows for several mp3s to be added to the phone. Many phones claim to have MP3 players, but unless the memory is substantial this is effectively useless as MP3s take up a significant amount of memory. Bluetooth. This is rapidly becoming standard on phones these days. Although I rarely use this feature, it is great to be able to obtain ringtones from other ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W550i Walkman

...first Walkman phone released by Sony Ericsson I wasn't expecting much, but I was wrong. It's a tidy little phone; with the 180 degree twisting function in 2 directions makes it very stylish! All the files on this phone are transferred using the data cable for the pc, which is provided, or a blue tooth or infrared adapter for you pc. Walkman Starting off with the main factor of the phone, the Walkman! The Walkman on the w550i is very easy to use. ...
...To listen to your music Sony provided a set of in ear headphones, which may be really annoying at first, your ears will get used to them and I have to say these are better then any other headphones I have tried before, the sound quality is perfect. The connected for the headphones into the phone is a bit annoying, as it has a habit of becoming disconnected which leads to your music playing through the built in speakers, which isn't a good thing if ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W550i Walkman

...was the p910i, also a Sony Ericsson. For me, the W550i is just the right size, as it is small enough for your pocket, and big enough not to be easily lost or missplaced. The colours of the phone are great too. The facia that is fitted on the phone as standard is bright metalic orange, which is quite funky. However, I currently have a white-ish coloured cover on, that was included in the box, and it looks increadibly stylish. The facias are completely ...
...phone is all about SOUND! Sony Ericsson have really excelled themselves with the media player, FM radio and speaker quality in this phone. It really is second to none! Its so handy not to have to take out a mobile phone and a sepperate mp3 player! Its all in one, and theres quite a bit of memory space, that can cater for a good selection of tracks. It keeps me happy on the way to and from work and uni! However, as the main focus of the phone is ...

...So when i saw the Sony Ericsson W550i and it's price (£140, probaly cheaper now), i knew i wanted it. -- Sony Ericsson W550i -- -- Design -- The design was the first thing that caught my attention about the phone. It looked a bit chunky for being ( hieght ) 3.6 x ( width ) 1.8 x ( depth ) 0.9 inches ( 93 x 47 x 22.5 mm ). The phone comes in three different colours, these are " Orchid White ", " Universe Blue " and the one i like the best is " ...
...-- Durability -- The sony Ericsson W550i is very durable and strong. My phone has been dropped a few times and now has some minor scratches. I'm sure you can buy some kind of case for it to prevent the phone from scratching. -- Display -- The Sony Ericsson has a 1.8 inch ( diagonal ) colour TFT with a 176 x 220 pixel resolution. The screen is quite big and is really good for viewing photos and videos on. -- Audio -- As a phone, The Sony Ericsson ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W550i Walkman

...say, compared to my other Sony Ericssons k500i. I usually put it in my handbag instead of my pocket. I wasn't entirely sure how to open the phone at first, as you have to slide it from the top of the phone 180 degrees down before you can access the keypad. It took sometime fiddling around before I can open it. (maybe I wouldn't waste so much time, if I read the manual before touching the phone ;) ). But I managed to put the sim card in, switched ...
...too much problem using the Sony Ericssons keypad for texting as they're quite similar. Other than that, it also got small torch light, which I can assure you, is very bright considering its size. Battery life is good. It can last for a few days without charging if you don't spend too much time talking on the phone (which I do). You can also check how much power and free memory left in your phone. The phone came with a hands-free kit, with 4 different ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W550i Walkman

...I eventually decided on the Sony Ericsson W550i. I had been a little concerned about the look of the phone - the garish orange covers and weird arial at the top almost put me off - but I'm so glad I wasn't swayed away! Opening the box I found: the phone (obviously), charger, battery, handsfree kit, PC Suite CD, USB data cable, a set of white fascia's and the manual. After fully charging the phone I quickly changed the fascia from orange to white ...
...the same as with most Sony Ericsson's. To use the "radio" feature you have to insert your handsfree kit as the connector acts as the radio aerial. I'm not sure if this is common or not. I'm disappointed by this though - I didn't realise I'd have to carry a cable around just to listen to the radio. The "camera" is 1.3 mega pixels. This is the same as my D500 but the W550i seems to take a clearer photograph. The best improvement here though is that ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W550i Walkman

I have had this phone since last january now, so I'm not entirely sure whether it is still available to buy new. However thought I would give my opinion on it anyway. Its a compact phone with a flip out keypad, is very stylish and has most of the features you need. As I have mentioned the phone is over a year old now, so a little out of date with some of the more recent advances in technology but it does still offer a lot. Some of the Good: Bluetooth ...
...Mp3 Playback - use your favourite tracks as ringtones, texts, alarms etc also has a walkman media player and headphones 1.3mp Camera - take photos, record and play videos. Computer software and USB cable - transfer files between your phone and computer 256MB memory - Store up to about 80 songs on your phone, depending on files sizes etc. Stylish - very stylish design, you won't be ashamed to answer your calls unlike some of the really chunky and ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W550i Walkman

...I have never owned a Sony Ericsson phone before, previously being very loyal to Nokia. When my contract was due for renewall I had a good look at all the phones that were on offer and found that Nokia seemed to be lagging behind most others in the price range( when I say price range I mean the range of phones on offer as an upgrade that would't cost me anything). Most other phones have a smaller memory which can be expanded with smart cards, the ...
...on the market with the sony walkman brand and it sounds great. The phone comes with bass boost and the difference is noticeable. The quality of sound through the speaker is good, but the quality of sound through the supplied earphones is great. On the subject of earphones the ones supplied come with an adaptor so standard earphones can be used whilst still being able to talk hands free. Another good use for this is a cassette adaptor that plugs in ...

...your own covers on the Sony Ericcsson website which is a nice touch. Camera isn't very good for a 1.3 megapixel camera, but does have a flash, night mode and other effects. The MP3 transfer program you get with the phone is VERY slow and after taking an hour to fill the 256mb space, 50% of the time it doesn't even work! When working it's a very good player, but often starts playing randomly in my bag as the lock on the side is just a plastic switch ...
...still likely to get another Sony Ericcsson when I upgrade, but will definately not be keeping this one! It's not the worst phone I've had, as it's easy to use and has a large colour screen. If you like gaming it's great, as it has special gaming buttons meaning you can hold it like a PSP. Worms Forts is great and very addictive, but there aren't enough levels. I also found the e-mailing very useful before it stopped working and the same goes for ...

Review of Sony Ericsson W550i Walkman

...small and compact phone from Sony Ericsson. I have always been a nokia lover but a year ago i thought i would try the sony ericsson t610. After trying the sony ericsson i would never go back to Nokia now as in my opinion the phones are more stylish and sophisticated. This phone is a swivel phone so looks pretty cool when you get it out in public. I chose this phone on the Orange network and currently pay £25 per month for 500 texts and 100 mins ...
...if you have had a sony ericsson phone it is pretty much the same format. The added bonus of this phone is that you have a walkman and also a radio which you can reset the channels and listen to your favourite channels. It also comes with built in speaker and also a hands free kit/earphones. One of the disadvantages of this is the camera. It is only a 1.3 mega pixel and the quality is not that great. It also has only one zoom level so its either ...
