again, sony ericsson has made another "twin" phone (sorry if someone else has made this topic as i have only searched the first 2 pages)

well ill get straight to the point

anyone else except for me like the design of the k550i better than the w610i?
hopefully someone will find a way to just flash the firmwares of the k550i to a w610i since they are practically the same. (as i have done this with my k750i flashing it to a w800)

i personally love my k750i, and we've been through heaps together.. updating firmware, flashing to w800i, heaps of changes audio and camera drivers, even changed housing to fully black,

would i have the same experiences with the k550i? or should i move on to a higher model phone e.g k810, the n series, or the newer se phones? since the 550i is nearly the same as the k750i, (only faster processor ..and a new joypad) apart from that the camera is tuned down (from my 8.54) and everything else is similar?

Disputable for both, but I'm in favour of the W610. Flash menus, and make it better.


K610 > W660

Got it wrong there matey. The W660 has a radio, bigger screen, v2 and looks quite a bit better (gotta admit that).


Z530 > W300
Z710 > W710

Wrong here as well IMO. What has the Z530 got that the W300 doesn't? And same goes for the W710 which in fact has more features than the Z710 anway.

Speaker volume is GREAT in the w610i, and even when walkman player 2.0 is minimised, using a flash wallpaper (included in 3 different themes) displays tags including artist, song and album. W610i also looks great (i love the orange back!).
Even though the buttons look small and fiddly, they are easy to access as they are raised at good heights. The number buttons are also far enough apart to prevent accidentally pressing them.

agreed. but by flashing it, and putting some cool acoustic driver, then the problem won't arise anymore.

just try it ;)
