Hi guys, thinking off buying this phone for 180GBP. Is this a good price for the phone? Are there any good or bad points about this phone?

Any info will be great

i second that. get the k750 instead you can upgrade the memory kater and the headset, and it has 2 megapixel cam. my sister is planning on buying a w550i too but i went to the store to see that the w550 cost more.

having just done a quick search on eBay, they are going for no more than £150, BIN with paypal.

I 'd try there first.

Would I be better getting the K750i then? I can get it on Virgin at Argos for 130GBP although i'm on o2, is the SE K750i easy to get unlocked?

What I particulary like about the W550i is the ability of being able to use the MP3 player on planes etc. I believe that you can easily upgrade the K750i to a W800i..........?

I dont know whether to call W550 a music phone or for normal use? Its certainly not a music one because 256mb isnt going to be enough, not ever! And its certainly not for normal use, considering its a swiwal and K750 is a better option.
I think SE really went in the wrong path with this one by not having extendable memory.

Guys, keep in mind that W550 has a better speaker and walkman function

Also, some ppl prefer twist phones

The software (on the original firmware) can play up a bit though.

What difference is there in the walkman player between W800 and W550?
