W550i

KillerShamrock

Just bought 1 of these bad boys today on speakeasy upgrade for €299 which gives me €90 credit and 100 free txts which aint bad if i say so my self.

The phone is cool lookin, the swivel is nice and smooth (though a little hard with 1 hand). You get 2 covers the orange and the pearl white both are nice.
When closed its about the same size as a K700i only a little thicker.

Its still chargin now so ill report back when ive played wit it for a little while.

Just seen that phone recently myself... I do like how SE are bringing out a nice new range of phones.

I don't like the swival myself though, and the phone seems a bit thick. Can't say I've actually used it for any amount of time though.

Cool phone but for 299, it's way too price. Only 256 unexpandable memory? I'd rather pay the extra for the K750i and an extra memory card, that or get the W800i on contract with Meteor. Unless of course the 256 is fine for you, in which case, you got a great little phone.

Yeh, the lack of memory card slots is what a lot of the new phones are missing... all these bells but missing that final whistle

so i noticed ah well. wat can ya do

The non expandable memory doesnt bother me too much i just want a few songs for when im travellin from a to b i dont need my music collection in my phone.

It isnt really that thick not like the s700i.

The games are cool worms fort 3d, a 3d snow boarding game and guantlet.

The radio is crystal clear and the sound is very good.
The mp3 player/walkman is very good. loud, great quality and easy to use the loud speakers (yes as in loud stero speakers) are really loud for a phone.
The ear phones are nice and comfortable. but i might change them to a different pair

Call quality is very good and signal reception is better than the K700i

Cant really comment on the battery life its at 48% but i have been using it heavily

I was originally gonna get the W800i but this phone started to grow on me plus the W800i on meteor is sold out country wide i checked 5 CPWs and none had it and they wont be gettin it till after chrimbo

There's a few in Limerick (O'Connell St) but that's probably no good to you now
