Nice phone... but what happened with the camera? U cant zoom in 1MP or 2MP mode!! Ok, i can zoom in VGA (640*480) mode, but... please, I have a 2MP camera and i cant zoom? If u dont mind that problem, the cellphone is great... oh, and the keys are small, if u have a big hands, believe me, is not ur phone... My advise: check out the nokia 6300, is better, i think. 4 stars

Outstanding all rounder. For those of you who say it doesn't have a good camera i suggest you get a pair of glasses and steady your hands because the camera has worked fine for me (2mp). Great mp3, and sleek design. 5 star.

I have only had a Sony Ericsson K550i for about 4 weeks, it is my first Non Nokia Mobile. It has a lot of good features such as bluetooth and a decent 2 megapixel camera. You can also edit photo's and compose music. It could do with more games, mine's only got "Puzzle slider." On the downside, the weird strip buttons do make it look stylish, but they are quite hard to use and texting is quite hard.

This is the best phone I have owned for 4 years... I swap my phone every 9-12 months as I soon get bored of them but with this model i think it will be different. I love everything about it. I thought the buttons may be a little small to use in the beginning but i have changed my mind. The camera is great and there is mo0re than enough room on the internal memory for quite a lot of photos and music tracks.

This is 3rd year in a row i have had a SE phone and K550 is by far the worst. I am now onto my 3rd handset in six months. First one made loud crackling noises during calls, exchanged after 2 weeks, 2nd handset worked fine for approx 4 months then came up with an error message 'configuration error, please contact your network operator or service centre' and phone wouldn't let me access any of the menus, consequently i lost all my stored phone nos, pics etc. 3rd and current handset, signal keeps dropping and disply says 'no network coverage' but coverage is fine when i put my sim in a different phone. Phone looks good, but otherwise v.disappointed

Brill phone for a brill price! Bought it yesterday from Carphone Warehouse for �59.99 and think it's excellent value for money! Not used the camera much yet but think its ok! Did have the K750i but that broke so wanted another sony ericsson. I was going to take it back as the 4 and 6 don't work sometimes but just read that its when the camera button is pressed! THANKS! Definatly would recomend as there isn't much it doesn't have!

Got the phone today and very impressed! Used Nokias and Motorolas in the past but this is the best ever. Small and light but feels chunky, well made and solid. Colour display excellent and menus vey easy to follow. Music through hands free earphones very good. Price on these is down to �60 - �80 and for that they are mega value for money - think some critics should bear that in mind when comparing it badly to phones which cost 4 or 5 times as much! Remember the K550i won't play music as good as a �500+ CD system or take pictures like a �500+ dSLR camera - its a phone! But for the money the best phone around. Five stars!

Utter junk... do not buy it... not even as an upgrade! Mine's from T-Mobile on an 18 month contract so I'm stuck with it for at least another 11 months!!! I've experience similar faults as the others, but worse recently any incoming text just disappears as soon as it's read, in some cases before it's read. Incoming calls ditto... I just get the red arrow with unknown in my call history. You can only see who it is when it initially comes in! I've always had Ericssons/Sony Ericcson phones... but this is possibly my last. It's awful... the pearl white looks good, nice blue lights... but it's so difficult to even remove the battery/sim cover. Awful design... SonyEricsson should hang their heads in shame! Avoid it at ALL costs... wish I'd gone with the Nokia N95 when I had the chance!!! Oh and the camera quality sucks too, grainy, blurry rubbish - my old orange & white W800i is superior quality in all areas by far. If I could get my sim out I'd go back to it today!!!! Grrrr!!!

Many users report certain keys (4-5-6-0)failing to respond.I thought I had the same problem, but it only happens if you accidentally press the camera button on the right side when texting, etc. Advice-be careful or type, holding headset in the left hand:-) In all other aspects the phone is very good, esp for the price. My only pain-goes very warm after a call lasting more then 6-7 minutes.SE support said its normal with slim phones,but its quite annoying.

This is an excellent phone feature wise, but I am now on my third one as it keeps breaking. Every week or so, whenever i phone someone they can hear me but i can't hear them, i've found a way around this problem which is to reset the settings but that gets abit annoying as you lose all the words that you have out into your predictive text. Also the 4 and 6 keys only seem to work when they want to when i'm writin a text. Final fault is that when i recieve a text it comes up saying that i have 3 or 4 texts that are all exactly the same but there is only one in my inbox.

I just bought K550I a month back and I am already facing problems with this phone. Previously I used to get virus messages thru out the day. Now there is a new problem, that if I do not use my phone for half an hour even, it gives the caller the message of out of coverage, or mobile is switched off, when actually it is on and very much in coverage. I feel cheated, and would suggest that you think twice before picking it up.

I have this phone now and i love it! The only problem is that the camera isn't as good as the k750i but i am prepared to live with this because it is streets ahead of the camera on my old phone, the razr v3i. Also, the keys are a bit fiddly but once you get used to them they are allright. i love the multitasking functionality and the flash is quite good, better than most phones but not as good as the xenon flash on the k810i and the k800i. also, for a camera focused phone, i like having the dedicated play/pause button and the volume rocker/track skip keys

[This review is a 'bit' long, but never mind.] I have had this phone for about 2 weeks now, and i am pleased with it, but starting to experience a few problems... The camera is a lot better than the 2 megapixel's on other sony ericsson phones because it is a cybershot.[Obviously cybershot camera's are better than standard.] It had good sound quality, but whilst making a call, I have found the speaker is crackly on normal and on loudspeaker, no matter how strong my service/network coverage/signal is.[problem #1] Some of the buttons freeze when typing, which can be annoying and take a long time as you have to wait until the phone wants you to type again! So I wouldn't recommed the phone if you text quite a lot.[problem #2] Basically on this phone: The camera is good, the screen is a good size, the buttons could stop freezing and the battery life could be a bit longer. There are a lot of fantastic phones for sale, but not everything can be prefect at a reaonable price. The phone is excellent for its price and I reccomend it! [I wouldn't get the w610i which looks like the k550i as it has a worse camera and will cost you more money!] Sorry for the long review, but i did warn you! Hope it has helped you make a decision... =]

I have purchased this phone after using Motorola V3i. Camera not as good as i'd expected. Peculiar texting as buttons far too small. Impressed with screen clarity though. Cannot comment on music as i do not use. Why on earth has a company like Sony Ericsson not sorted out the sticking buttons, if you buy a S.E you either get for free sticking buttons or sticking joystick, WHY? I will probably sell this on ebay and find a Motorola which has a brilliant clean and unfussed design and lights up a cool blue. Goodbye Sony Ericsson K550i
