Bundle

Sony Ericsson Z550i

Standard Li-ion Battery

Travel Charger

User Manual

Handsfree



Features

The phone has an almost similar set of features to Nokia's 6131. The phone sports a 1.3 MP camera, which performs well; but, this too misses a flash for assistance in bad lighting or night-mode. The phone has just 20 MB (10 MB more than 6131) of internal memory. The internal memory provided should be adequate for your ringtones and pictures captured by the camera of the phone.



The phone supports Sony Memory Micro M2, which is pretty expensive at the moment since it's a new type of memory from Sony and 1 GB is the highest capacity available (max capacity will increase in time.) The memory card slot is placed under the battery cover but not under the battery that makes it hot-swappable, just like the Nokia 6131. The phone has a music player and an FM tuner as well; something most people in our country look for in a phone. The FM reception is pretty good but if you are not much of a radio type of a guy in terms of music then you can always opt for your own selection of music by slotting in a memory card or else you'll have to deal with just 20 MB. The music player of the phone is similar to the player in the Walkman series but misses all the special goodies like the MegaBass preset and the typical orange color skin of the player.
The player can be minimized and you can continue using the other features of the phone.

Simply connect the data cable to the PC and transfer the file to the Cell. But be sure that the particular file is in the 3gp format. That shouldnt be creating any problem to play the video file.

by Satish A, Hyderabad, on Nov 20, 2007 10:11 PM, Report abuse

Connect to the PC using the data cable and transfer file the same way as you transfer the Audio file. But be sure that its in 3GP format otherwise there is chance that you might be facing problem during playback.

I also went for buying W200i and bought Z550i. W200i significantly better in sound volume but only without hand free , with handsfree both are neck to neck, but inferior in camera quality , bcuase it has VGA camera while Z550i has 1.3 MP camera. W220i comes along with data cable and 226 MB inbuilt memory while Z550 i comes with 26 MB memory but has slot for extendable memory. W200i has no bluetooth provision while Z 550i is quipped with this feature.

i am using z550i and all i can say is that all features are great. Its a all-in-one quality phone. Only drawback is that it has inbuilt 20 mb of memory, and extra memory card for this model is expensive. And yes, you can send photos to and from other mobiles as well as pc from this phone as it is bluetooth enabled.

se 550i has everything you ask for. the sound, video, design, features are great.just buy adata cable of rs 250/- to connect your phone to compu. your compu needs to have an ext blutooth to connect to mobile-bluetooth, but there is no need for that. you can download videos from and to compu also.you can make your own mp3 ringtones in compu and transfer it to mobile

i would like to buy this within his week and the 512M2M card costs around 1.2K in BLR grey market,can any one tell me where the show room for this in BLR

by s_sree08, Bangalore, on Sep 20, 2006 12:49 PM, Report abuse   Reply

HI I BROUGHT THIS MODEL FROM GLOBAL ACCESS ,KORAMANGALA,BANGALORE SHOW ROOM -THE COST IS 8500 AND 512 MEMORY CARD COST IS 2800.00.THE DATA CABLE WILL COST 1145.00. ACCORDING TO ME THE OVERALL RATING IS 8 OUT OF 10. THE FEW DRAWBACKS ARE 1.IT DOES NOT HAVE GOOD SPEAKER & VOLUME FACILITY LIKE ANY NOKIA MODEL.IF U USE HEADSET THE SOUND IS OK BUT VOLUME LEVEL IS POOR.2.IT DOES NOT PROVIDE FULL SCREEN VIEW 3. IT ALWAYS SHOWS 60% RANGE INDICATION BUT IN OTHER PHONES (NOKIA) SHOWS FULL RANGE.3.THE HANDSET HANGS IF U CLOSE THE PHONE SUDDENLY WITHOUT CLOSING ANY APPLICATIONS. 4. BATTERY BACKUP IS AVERGAE IF COMPARE WITH NOKIA MODELS. ADVANTAGES ARE, 1.PICTURE CLARITY IS GOOD LIKE SONY TV SYSTEMS 2. EASY TO PLUG AND PLAY WITH COMPUTER. 3.BLUETOOTH (MOBILE-MOBILE) IS WORKING FINE 4.CAN BE RECORDED 3 HOURS CONTINUOUSLY IF U HAVE 512 MB CARD. 5.DATA TRANSFER FROM MEMORY CARD IS FASTER.

To Frazier Barreto the reviewer- i personally own this phone and it is very gud. anyways in your review u said that to cancel a call one has to open the flap.i would like to tell you that you are mistaken the call can be cancelled via the volume control buttons on the left. one has to press the + key twice and the mono display shows the message busy tone sent. moreover you didn't mention anything about the headphones which are bundled along with the mobile. i hope you keep these things on mind and edit the article as soon as possible.
