Its true abt the z550 camera which is very very worse compared to my previous w550 ...can it be because the camera version is 2.0 whereas in my previous w550 it was 4.5

How does the Z550's UI compare to with the W550's? Also how does it compare with the k750i's UI? It would be really nice if someone could point out specific advantages/disadvantages...

@ Vignesh:

Not what I meant... Have you used a K750i/W810i or something similar? In those phones you can view pictures horizontally and they take up the full screen.. That way they look much better.

Well, technically, you can do the same with a Z550i if you rotate the picture but then it gets rotated permanently... i.e. Its rotated even if you transfer it to a comp and view it...

And you still can't zoom in... which is really really pissing off...
Wish I had an app for viewing pictures which could do all this...

Btw do you have a memory stick micro? If you then what’s the price and size?

I tried to upgrade (or whatever you call it) my firmware less than a week back and it said that I already had the latest version... So this new firmware must have been released recently right?

One question for Z550i owners. If you take out battery of phone, about 1 minutes, and then insert it again. Do you loose time / date / and navigation key shortcuts ?

Can't seem to remember that this was the case on other SE I've had. Although wouldn't suprise me if Z550i doesn't have a 'backup battery' for more than a few seconds of battery change. All other settings in flash is retained though. Just want to verify that it is standard for Z550i.

Yea, I have the same problem with my Z550... though my old k700i didn't have it...


My Z550 does not support the camera flash accessory... When I tried plugging it in (its my friends, he has a K750i) it just displayed the accessory name and didn't do anything...
