Mobile phoners looking for quality, style and good looks will love Sony Ericsson's Z550i. Finished in a combination of premium brushed metal and high gloss material, the Z550i is a classy partner for work and leisure with universal appeal.

The 1.3 Megapixel camera has 4x digital zoom and takes great snap shots and video for capturing those unpredictable moments. These can be viewed on a crisp, bright color display. With 20MB of onboard memory expandable to 1GB, it's simple to store and share a large collection of pictures using MMS, Bluetooth™ or e-mail.

'The Z550 has an exclusive, understated feel that's a tribute to our iconic phone the T610, and features a 1.3 Megapixel camera, unusual for a phone in this sector,' said Husni El-Assi, General Manager of Sony Ericsson, Middle East and North Africa. 'In all, the Z550i is a phone that breathes quality and value.'

Finding shots once you've stored them is childs play with the new thumbnail gallery feature. This allows you to search your shots both visually and according to the date they were taken with multiple thumbnail images being shown on the 262k sharp colour screen.

The Z550i connects easily to a PC for fast transfer of multimedia files and synchronisation with your phone book and calendar. The phone also has full HTML internet browsing and optional Bluetooth™ headset and car-handsfree kit for wireless freedom on the move.

The Sony Ericsson Z550i is a GPRS clamshell camera phone available in Sterling Black or Pearl Copper.

Good Value for Money

Phone owned for

Hi... I've had a K750i before this, which got lost
:-(, So now im using the Z550i which has just been launched. Its a gr8 fone in all respects, UI is very similar to std SE UI, Bit better looking & faster than the k750i UI!!!!

I missed the Mega Bass option in the Media Player of K750i which is left out here!!!

Radio is excellent... Battery life is about the same as that of K750i... 2-3 days of regular use on single charge.

Camera is really below SE standards... I had very high hopes after K750i but this camera shoots really grainy images in low light conditions. Needs bright conditions to give u a decent photo....

NO Camera Flash!!!!.. Donno Y SE has skimped on this useful feature which also doubles up as a Flashlight.

Also.. Now It needs Memory Stick Micro for external storage.. so u cant use the old Pro Duo memory sticks... however, SE claims the price for a Mem stick Micro is about the smae as that of Pro Duo.. lets hope so!!

Oh and yes....Internal as well as External Mem is now recognised as a removable drive in your PC!!!!.. that too without any special drivers!!!

(PS you can even defragment your pohne memory... Ive tried & it works perfect!!!)

Overall a gr8 phone... no hanging or WSODs.. buy it!!!

Dont Buy

Phone owned for

Hi. I am the first one to put comments about this mobile. You wont belief,I have very bad experience with z550i. Its a nice looking phone with a lot of good features but it has a lot of problems. It gets hanged frequently. Battery back up is not at all good. However FM and Camera is very good. Overall.You should not go for this set.
