Advantages: Small, lightweight, large screen, memory stick capacity Disadvantages: small buttons
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 ...

Thumbs up! Review ofSony Ericsson K550i Cyber-shotby
optimaboy
Advantages: 2 megapixel camera, ease of use Disadvantages: Small buttons, short battery life.
...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 ...

Advantages: Brilliant design, Great camera and feature packed, Inexpensive Disadvantages: Poor indoor shots, high-end phones may be better
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, ...

Quick review of Sony Ericsson K550i Review ofSony Ericsson K550i Cyber-shotby

This is an excellent phone. plus points are slim size, good screen, strong battery life, short response time. Camera is good and useful but not outstanding. cons are keypad which needs time to get used to, poor picture quality in night/indoors and poor screen visibility in sunlight. But considering the cost, this is a good value for money.much better than many of nokia smartphones around. considering that joystick in k750 ended up in problems here its done away with and so its expected to last longer.

Advantages: Friendly interface, cool for leisure time. Disadvantages: It's getting old
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 ...

K550i Review ofSony Ericsson K550i Cyber-shotby
kieransgurl
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. ...

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!

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.

Advantages: Organiser, Cybershot camera Disadvantages: Hardly any, but there are quite a few buttons to get used to.
Owning this phone myself gives me a good idea of what this phone is really like. It comes in serveral interesting colours such as Plum, Black and Blue.
It has a useful organiser which includes - Alarms, Calculator, Calender, Tasks, Notes, timer, stopwatch and even a handy light if your stuck somewhere at night. It is a cybershot phone and takes quality pictures, which you can store on the phone, or the memory card that comes with it. You can take ...
