So I was right, what about the K550, I will go for this phone if:

1. The camers pic quality lives up to the cybershot name.

2. The keypad dosent give any problems while pressing the buttons and
typing SMS.

Any K550 users please suggest something,,is the phone better then the K750?

I recently bought the K550i and found the speaker volume during calls abominal.

Maybe K750 scores on this count. For those using the speakerphone to make calls through K550i, that's not the phone for them for sure !!


Hey Raj how do you find the K550, is the keypad prone to crashes, is it giving any problems in your daily usage?

No it doesn't live up to the Cyber shot name (pics are VERY noisy), and if the keypad is the same as the one on the W880, it is abysmal.

i think you should go for the K750i. Apart from the better screen and more modern menu interface, the K550 has little to offer that the K750 doesn't have. The K750 definitely takes better pictures, is cheaper, and should cover most of your needs.

I found the keypad of K550i a little difficult in the beginning, but have got used to it. The phone does not crash, so that's good news. The flash light is powerful as well.

What I do not like about the phone is it's inability to show all the fields of the contact list in the default contact view mode and the quality of the speaker phone.

Otherwise, it is good phone to have.

The k550 is a better phone because the quality sum of it's parts is bigger than that of the k750.

First of all it's software is smarter, faster and more reliable. The k750 had a lot of problems, and all of the people who had it that I talked to told me it just went off very often for no reason ... also .. bluetooth problems ..

The k550 keypad is just fine .. I tipe sms messages all the time and it's real easy once you get used to the T9 dictionary and the * and # functions

The camera is generaly speaking the same and sometimes better than the k750. That's because you have more built in options for taking pictures .. like the scenes (Twilight landscape, portrait .. beach/snow .. etc.. ) and metering mode. These can be controlled in the k750 only by modifying it's camera software .. and using them is hard ..

That being said, k550 takes pictures of roughly the same quality during the day and BETTER quality at night (10x to the extended exposure time of the Twilight scenes) than a k750 with original firmware.

Also .. there are the full screen internet browser .. video player .. improved mp3 player .. 2.0 bluetooth .. the phone can be used as a memory stick!! just plug in the data cable in a computer, select File transfer and BINGO!! .. bigger screen .. easyer access to battery

And last but not least .. It's a hell lot more sexy!
