Sony Ericsson W550i

The Sony Ericsson W550i is part of the first range of Sony Ericsson walkman phones to be released. The phone came in the usual walkman range colours of white and orange and was available on a number of networks. The first thing to notice about this phone when you have it in hand is how it opens. The keypad is accessed through a swivel mechanism which is both novel and provides a unique aspect to the phone. Size wise the phone is quite small all except the thickness which is quick considerable. This unfortunately is the most notable dimension when in your pocket and thus is a definite down point. The phone features all of the usual functions we ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this phone when it was first released and cost me a fortune - thinking back I cannot quite believe I paid it! Buying a phone has got to be the most difficult task on this planet. Is it slim enough? Will I be able to text ok? How good is the camera and does it have a flash? Does it take external memory cards? ~ The Phone ~ My first impression was at how bulky the handset was but my love for the colour and the unique swivel design made up for that. Also the fact that it was a Walkman phone. The phone came with a couple of inter-changeable facias so that you can adapt the phone to fit your mood or outfit. Mine came with metallic ...  Read the complete review

I have had this phone for almost 6 months now and it is the best mobile I have ever had. First Calls and texting: Its easy to use, call register stores alot of numbers, and inbox can hold about 40 texts. It has a radio and MP3 player, with good sound quality, and there is enough storage for about 16 songs on the MP3. You can play songs loud enough to fill a room or a car.

The video camera picks up good sound as well and the memory goes for ages, at least 30 minutes. There are 3 Java ...  Read the complete review

I had heard a lot about this phone. In India, it was hyped a lot. So i was pleased to get the chance to find out if the phone was really worth all the hype. The first impression wasn't that impressive. The phone looked bulky. Very bulky. This at a time when mobiles are getting so slim you can see right through most of them! What was Sony Ericsson thinking? Well, i thought, let's just hope they have packed something worthwhile within all that mass. I have heard a lot of complains about its twisting mechanism. People say it starts to get loose after a year or so. I haven't had that problem yet. But the camera doesn't work unless the phone is ...  Read the complete review
