I bought a Sony Ericsson Z550i.. Am not a Mobile Freak and have been getting along with a Nokia Basic Model. Since, I traffic is a major problem in B`lore, I felt having FM and MP3 would be a nice idea. & also would help me a greater deal while Travelling. Went looking for a mobile & ended up buying the Z550i. I was looking for extendable Memory upto 1 GB, MP3 & FM which suited my needs. I was never interested in the Camera in Phone, but wont mind.
I like the styling, and the outershell, but somehow the internal screen is not upto my liking. The Music is nice to hear and the FM works well too.. The clarity is really really good. The Menu too is user friendly. The only problem that I have with the phone is the sound reception especially on a conversation. Suddenly, the voice drops down to really low level that I cant hear at all. I tried to look into the settings and so far, didn`t succeed.
I did try to work around with the camera, but in low light conditions, the camera is a quib. I dont mind as am a DigiCam Freak with my Fuji Finepix S5600, so, I hardly care. The camera got a DigiZoom (which is worthless. The Digizoom for that matter any camera, just zooms similar to what we have in computer, & distorts the image badly)
Anyway, I think for the price, the camera is OK.. andn we can get along. But, the phone appears very delicate and the flip appears a very loose fit, i.e., it wobbles slight to left and right when I open the phone. So, I cant stress on the durability.
The battery life is not as good as my basic Nokia, maximum life is 2 days, though I dont yak much.. So, I think it wont suit women mostly.. :>)..
Worth Buying? Not sure.. Depends..
