Hello there
I've got this phone with a 512mb Memory Stick PRO Duo™ M2™ . The external card memory can be upgradeable upto 2GB. Also the phone comes with 73MB!!! of shared internal memory.
The user can store upto 1000 contacts in the phone memory which will surely be sufficient.The voice clarity in a call is very good. Even the loud speaker, i.e. handsfree speaker that has a stereo type sound is good. But the sound seem to be less audible in a noisy environment. The phone also comes with flightmode feature which can be activated in aeroplane so that the radio signals can be deactivated which might cause disturbances to the sensitive equipment in the aeroplane. The user can still use some features like music player while in aeroplane mode but can’t make or receive any calls.
The sound reproduced by this superb music device is just great. The user can manage their music easily with the music options which include play, rewind, fast forward, shuffle, equalizer and playlists options.
Or simply the user can listen and download latest ringtones in 3 clicks by using PlayNow™ feature. Just browse through the ringtones in PlayNow™ menu and then select the ringtone the user wanted to purchase. The user will then get the confirmation sms with the cost of purchase and the money is deducted from the user’s mobile phone bill after download of ringtone, simple. K550i comes with FM Radio with RDS (Radio Data Support) {shame on W880i}which helps in sending text information directly to the mobile phone from the radio station. The stereo headset that’s included in the package needs to be connected to the quickshare port of the phone for the FM radio in order to work.
K550i is based on java platform. The other general handy user programs include alarm clock, calendar, calculator, task list, notes, business card exchange, stopwatch & timer. So the user can even download and play java games on the phone which are really fun to play.
K550i is not only just a mobile device but also a good photo shooter. The phone comes with a Cyber-shot 2MGP camera with autofocus and a LED flash that all other mid segment Sony Ericsson phones have. The photos taken with K550i are just bright and brilliant with vibrant colors. Also the user can take good quality videos with amazing colors at CIF resolution. So the user can capture all that special moving action with this great phone itself. The pictures and edited videos can be shared with friends using MMS technology if the user enables GPRS in the phone. The phone supports many easy to use messaging services which include MMS picture & video messaging, SMS text messaging & email. The user can enjoy a email service on their mobile phone as the K550i supports email client.
This handset works on Quad Band GSM technology. (GSM 850 / GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900). There is a built-in RSS news reader that comes with the phone. The user can read latest news using GPRS and the RSS news reader. The phone offers class 10 GPRS connection that can send and receive data at a speed of upto 48kbps. For faster data transfer, K550i also has EDGE technology that can make the data transfers nearly three times faster than GPRS. The user can also enjoy the advantage of Bluetooth™ 2.0 wireless technology with which you can connect to other Bluetooth devices at a range of 10Metres from the device. For fast data transfer, you can use the USB 2.0™ for connecting to your PC and transfer videos, music and photos. You can use the USB cable provided in the package to use with the phone.
The battery is very good!!! | |
