About that hiss, I was very suprised when find how much different mp3's can sound depending of how they where compresed and in which quality they are

@sammy, could the branding be the 'cause of the hiss? try comparing with an unbranded w500.
@maki, i don't think mp3 compression could 'cause a hissing sound even before playback.

I get no hiss on mine. Its a generic model W550i (factory unbranded)
The rubber cover/plug is for connecting the phone to an external antenna from a carkit. The W550 has a mirror already attached next to the camera lens.
Here's one of my W550's
I tried sniffing coke once but didnt like it. The bubbles kept going up my nose  |

I didn't know W550 also has that hissing problem, which is also present on W800 (since I upgraded from R1L002 FW to R1NA005 and R1AA008). I didn't have that problem before with R1L002. |

the most annoying bug ive encountered so far is when the EMS animations play, you can actually see all the frames of the animation overlapping
that hissing - it largely comes from the quality of audio files being played. I have R4BA041/EU2 and I dont seem to notice this when playing CD-ripped files (ripped to 128kbps via itunes)
Another thing- when playing M4A/AAC files, with my current FW version instead of displaying the ID3 tags (track title/artist & album name) in the Now Playing screen, it only displays a single line with the actual file name (the W800 with R1AA008 handles this just fine)
Does anyone here who has R4CA004 on his W550 confirm if it can display ID3 tags from M4A/AAC files? thanks |

I cant understand from the pics what kind of navigation key the w550 uses. Is it a joystick? I cant make out.

If you look closely at the dpad on the closeup pics, there are four bulges around, for the up, down, left, right directions. |

the hiss is not because the mp3 compression... trust me... I've got mp3s with 256 kbps and still hiss... a little bit lower but still there...
I change the audiophones that came with my W600... with a better ones (Sony CD Walkman) and the hiss went even lower...
I've got the W600 with R7B039... and still waiting for the new FW.... (i'm in MX)
I used to had a life... until I met a modem |
