Is there a hard way to upgrade the 550i's memory from 256 mb to a larger one? I've been thinking if its a 256 mb it could be a memory stick inside the phone that is upgrade-able the hard way, what i mean by the hard way is opening up the phone and then replacing the mem stick if theres any...

Has anybody tried thsi here?

Welcome to Esato!
I'm guessing you mean the W550. Well, as has been discussed in relation to other phones, it is very, very difficult. First, it isn't just like having a memory stick inside the phone. The memory is more like a USB's memory, so it isn't a card. Then you'd have to rewrite the software to make the phone aware that it has more than 256MB of memory, otherwise it wouldn't work. It would take far too long to make it feasible. So no, not possible.

Hmm... I agree with the above points. But i'd say it's possible, just not practical.
