Most Useful Customer Reviews

Description

The W550i is a Walkman phone full of variety. The form factor is swivel action, and you can use the phone open, closed or angled. Do many things in many ways.

Music on the move
When you have your W550i, you have a digital music player with your favourite songs and FM radio for quality entertainment round the clock. Getting music to your phone using music-copying PC software (supplied in the kit) is easy. Just drag and drop.

Play as you go
The W550i has exciting and fast-moving 3D games in crystal-clear colour. Dedicated gaming action buttons and horizontal two-handed playing give you a true game-console experience. And when you want to play multi-player games with friends – use Bluetooth.

Imaging and video
A built-in 1.3-megapixel camera with a digital camera menu interface means true imaging. One press on the camera button, and you’re ready to shoot. One more and you’re ready to share. And when you need to catch some action, the W550i has video, too.

Easy texting
The keys on the W550i are well spaced to give you optimal ease when writing your messages, calendar information, notes or contact information.

Store and share
There’s enough memory in the W550i to save hundreds of images and video clips. You can browse your thumbnail gallery or view your images in comfortable full-screen mode. The W550i kit comes with Adobe Photoshop album Starter Edition software for storing and editing your images in your PC. Drag and drop images from phone to PC. Easy.

Non-stop entertainment
Even when travelling by air, you can keep on enjoying your W550i. In flight mode, your phone doesn't send or receive any radio signals (transmitters off) and is therefore safe to use during a flight.

CNET.co.uk Review

Editors' rating 7.6/10 Very Good Provided by: What’s It For? Music; radio; shooting stills; long-life listening; voice calls Who’s It For? Music fans; people with large hands who don't mind chubby phones; anyone who paints their walls burnt ochre We like Lots of built-in memory; good desktop software with connection cables; great camera and gaming ergonomics We don’t like No memory expansion slot; keypad buttons don't feel right; weeny self portrait mirror Accessories Bluetooth headset CNET.co.uk judgement The W550i is a small but chunky handset with a bevy of neat features but some odd omissions. For example: it's a music phone with 256MB of built-in memory, but no expansion slot; it has ambitions to replace your dedicated music player, but audio playback quality isn't quite up to scratch; and there's a camera with good features and usability, but a self-portrait mirror the size of a pinhead
