Sony Ericsson K550i
Posted by: CameraPhonesPlaza in Sony Ericsson
The Walkman and Cyber-Shot series brought huge success to the Sony Ericsson brand. Because other cell-phones like K790 or K800 had a price tag which not everyone could afford, the Sony Ericsson Company has created a new model of mobile phone which is designated for those people which are not willing to pay a lot of money on a cell phone.

The Sony Ericsson K550i is a cell phone for the mid-level class which combines modern design and features with the best camera modules on the market.

If we talk about design, here is nothing new on this model. The Sony Ericsson K550i has a resistant plastic case which is available in Pearl White or Jet Black colors. At 102 x 46 x 14 mm in dimension and only 85 grams in weight, this is the smallest and lightest cell phone of the Cyber-Shot Series. The sleek keypad layout is similar with older Cyber-Shot models.
The keys are a bit small but you will get a positive feedback when you press them. Also, on the right and left sides you will see the volume rocker, camera shutter and the Play button. But there is still a small difference. The universal port which allows you to charge, attach a hands-free or connect this phone to a PC was placed on the left side.

The Sony Ericsson k550i has a 2.0 Megapixels camera which takes photos at a maximum resolution of 1632 x 1224 pixels. With features like Auto focus, an active lens cover and LED photo light you will be capable to take the best possible photos each time. If you want to record some clips, you will be disappointed. It can record clips until the memory runs out but at a maximum resolution of 176 x 144 pixels.
Like the older models, Sony Ericsson K550i has a TFT LCD display which supports 262k colors. Even if this display measures only 1.9 inch with a native resolution of 176 x 220 pixels, the images are clear with a higher contrast. In terms of communication, this model has EDGE Class 10 and GPRS technology, Bluetooth, Infrared and USB synchronization. The Sony Ericsson K550i is a quad-band (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900) network compatible mobile phone. Powered by an ARM9 family processor, this phone is very fast and you will not see lag in any application.
This handset comes with only 60 MB of internal memory but you can expand it to a maximum of 2GB with a Memory Stick Micro (M2) card. The card slot is positioned under battery, which is not pretty comfortable but the good thing is that you can’t accidentally lose the card. The multimedia features are similar to older models including a media player, TrackID, FM radio with RDS and the indispensable basic applications (calculator, alarm clock, calendar, stopwatch or timer).

The external speaker is very loud and produces clear sound. The volume is high enough but if you want more, you can attach the hands-free which comes with the cell phone. This headset cannot be compared with a Walkman earphone but you will get almost similar sound with a lower bass. The Li-Po 950 mAh battery keeps this phone up for 7 hours of conversation and 350 hours in standby mode. But for only $260, this cell phone is proven to be a great deal.
