Just a note but it only has one LED so its probably not that great in low light.

As an S700i user this does not do it for me, I think many S700 users will agree! Shameless way to try and promote the walkman brand name!

I'm any s700i user and i have been for a year and i love this walkman handset, i know its not a replacement for my s700i but its a nice wee phone and would be a great back up until the s700i replacement is announced?

Well, it looks quite interesting to me. The only thing I wish it had is the memory stick slot, anyway, 256MB internal memory is quite decent.

No memory stick slot, No macro, and only 1.3MP, Has it even got AF? Shame as it looks awesome.

i think your missing the point of the phone its not supossed to be as good as the s700 its going to be a cheap alternative to the w800

Compared to the k750i, the cam isnt that good.

I have to say this is a great little phone.

If it had the same cam has the k750i i would give it 9.5/10 but thats for the w900i so for now 8.5/10

Best sound quality on any phone i have had in quite a while,very loud and clear.
Top screen, seems a little better than the k750i (colours look better) , great ui , very smooth and no bugs yet that i have come across.
Java loads very quick,solid build quality to it. Nice to be able to change the fascias, over the air fw updates, 256meg which is plenty enough for me and Bt seems fine with my pc bt dongle and a motorola 810 headset.
Having owned the k750i,w800i,6680 and 6230i and keeping neither of them i might actually stick to this phone for now.............. Well until the release of the w900i

I was having a browse for my sister who is after a small auto and took this picture using the w550i.

I don't know if it's dodgy firmware or if I have a faulty handset, but on my W550i, the phone crashes when you turn the Bluetooth on or off. I was playing a game and when I exited, the phone crashed there too! Hopefully it should get sorted soon...If anyone else's W550i also crashes, I'd appreciate it if you could write where and when it crashes.

Haven't had a w550i crash yet using BT or anything else for that matter, may have older FW or a faulty handset matey, i think the W550i is the most stable phone released yet out of the k750/w800 ect...

I have FW...

Well I don't know what it was but my network provider (o2) sent me a replacement and it's working perfectly, maybe just a one-off

Just got mine just now. Bought it offline for £219.99 from the Carphonewarehouse. Had it a only a couple of mins and I think it's amazing. Think it's time to sell my w800i.
