Good Points
Everything you want in a phone and more!
Bad Points
It is a bit bulky
It is annoyingly hard to open. You have to turn the whole phone round, and it's hard to do with one hand. Annoying when you're used to an easy slide action.
General Comments
I bought the Sony Ericsson W550i mobile phone because it was a good price for a piece of true practicality and brilliant technology.
I had a Sony Ericsson K500i which was sadly taken out of production because of too many bugs, but mine never missed a beat, and I missed it after I dropped it in a pool, so I went back to SE, and to a phone that was £50 cheaper and does everything a Samsung does and more, and it is easier to use with a better memory to boot.
The only bad thing I can say about this phone is that its design is not the most pleasing, and it is a bit annoying that you have to turn the phone round when you open it, and it only swivels one way; but the pros definitely outweigh the cons, as the quirky design just adds to the phone!
The sound quality is amazing, and the memory isn't bad. I've got about 60 songs on mine, with room to spare for whatever photo's and things I want to add
I didn't find the software for putting MP3's on it the easiest to use. but now that I've got the hang of it I'm away!
The camera is also very good!
The only thing I could say to about this phone is buy it. You won't regret it!
