w550i, loads of features!

Advantages: compact, reliable
Disadvantages: Buttons may be too small for some people

...I got this phone about 4 months ago second hand, and I have to say I was very impressed. Being the 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. The walkman features the option to create play lists of your favourite songs, view the tracks in alphabetical order or arrange the tracks by artist for separate viewings, say if you wanted to access a certain album. When playing the songs, you can choose whether to play your songs on shuffle...

Review of Sony Ericsson W550i Walkman

K550i

Advantages: great price
Disadvantages: not many

...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 you won't be able to tell that it has been 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...

K550i

Advantages: 2gb memory, A2DP, bluetooth
Disadvantages: sound

...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 it makes my life a hell . To overcome this 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...

The Finesse of the Z550i

Advantages: Feature packed and compact, competitive handset in its price range
Disadvantages: Battery life tends to be on the lower side

...Having used some Nokia phones previously, I decided to change the brand and go for a Sony Ericsson. My mobile phone device needs are pretty simple. Earlier, the Nokia 6101 that I was using fulfilled all my needs but since its battery was running out of steam really quickly after every recharge, I realized that I needed a new handset. My search zeroed in on the Sony Ericsson Z550i . The Z550i is feature packed and is a competitive device in its segment. By looks, you will see that this phone has a flap (SE likes to call it the clamshell model) that opens to reveal the keypad and the enlarged screen. The camera is fixed on the outer side of the clamshell and is of decent quality. It has a FM radio tuner as well, capable of saving up to 20 radio stations. By the looks of things, the Z550i?s body is made up largely of a combination...

Sony Ericcsson z550i - Smart phone with vivid features

Advantages: Smart and cool looks; Nice Ease of access; Good Music quality; awesome File Handling capability;
Disadvantages: Poor Battery Backup; Average Looks; no 3G support; only 24MB of inbuilt memory.

...Sony Ericsson z550i Actully, when I went to purchase the phone, I didn't knew about Sony Ericsson much and have least interest. But in my range, I saw a very smart and a good looking piece of Sony - the z550i. * Firstly, my eyes went to the small screen in front. It shows all phone activities like Bluetooth notification, Stopwatch icon, Bluetooth Headset connection status, Media Player "Now Playing", Battery, Network, Time, Silent Mode notification, Java application(if runnin), etc. It has a good but a small Screen, which can be even better. * Then Camera is a good one with 1.3 MP and it provided me considerably a better experiance then other brands, but the camera is not so good for Video Recording. * Side buttons are really very good in multi-functions, such as Volume +/- ,Changing Sound Tracks of Media Player, Brightness...

Review of Sony Ericsson Z550i

The W550i Deserves a chance!

Advantages: Great Mp3, Loads of memory, great cover.
Disadvantages: No externel memory allowed, not many skins to use.

...I would Just Like To say that this phone is great! It could be beter, but is already extremely good! Ease Of use The w550i Is a very easy phone, the lay out and menu is clear, the buttons are well places, and its just not very hard to use! =] Look and Fell The Phones Looks are Sweet and Unique =] With its origonal colour being Orange, almost everybody will recognise what phone you have just by first glance! The Phones origonal cover (orange) isnt made of plastic, but rather of a hard rubber, be wraned, as it can scratch easily! Durability This phone needs to be cared for well, as if you dont have another color (ie: white or silver) then your orange cover is in for a few scratches, as its not the strongest! This phone survives falls and bangs very well though! Battery Time The Batteries Endurance...

My lil Buddy K550i

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 was also a bonus as you don't want an unsightly 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...

the not so amazing sony ericsson k550i cyber-shot

Advantages: looks and feels good
Disadvantages: plays up on you

...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 call someone or someone calls me the phone justs goes 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....

The Sony Ericsson W550i mobile phone

Advantages: a multi function phone with excellent sounding mp3 player
Disadvantages: no removable memory card for extra storage

...The second of Sony Ericsson's Walkman music player phones, the Sony Ericsson W550i features an advanced music player complete with software for copying tracks to the phone from a computer (a cable is included). The W550i comes with stereo headphones and 256MB of memory, which will hold up to 80 music tracks. The Sony Ericsson W550i delivers a rich sound, boosted by Sony's Mega Bass depth enhancement technology. With its special flight mode, the W550i can even be used for playing music during flights, when mobile phones normally have to be switched off (the mode turns off all radio transmissions).

Review of Sony Ericsson W550i Walkman

Sony Ericsson W550i

Advantages: Seems to be an unbreakble phone, no matter how many times I've dropped it.
Disadvantages: Slightly bulky

...the keys!! The phone has a 1.3 mega pixel camera which isn't bad for a phone and you can use the pictures you take as anything, desktop background or screensaver etc. The menu system is very easy to use and has very good shortcuts, even though you can change them yourself, the ones already on there are very useful. The phone also has Bluetooth from which you can receive friends of families tones/songs etc and make them your text, email or ring tone! This isn't possible on some phones. Another great feature of the Sony Ericsson W550i is that it has a long battery life, it can last about 100hrs. Possibly the best feature on the phone is the Walkmann. The songs are of brilliant quality and the phone speaker can go very loud so if you would like you songs can be heard by many people. There is only two downsides to...
