Hello All potential Mobile Buyers, Here is one more review from me after using my Sony Ericsson z550i for 9 months, so you must be sure that review would be close enough to the facts as after spending these much time with one mobile makes you real aware of all features, pros and cons of the product.
Before I bought this mobile I had only one in my mind and that was evergreen Nokia 6600 (at that time) but after looking at few comparisns on net i made mind on SE z550i. specially due to different look and Sony Quality (It looks like I am little biased towards sony quality, most of my gizmos are of Sony including my new digicam).
SORRY about few sidetrack things otherthan review so here I go.
LOOK
=====
By looking at Current Professional looking phones like Nokia N72, E50, SE P990 and current Trendy phones like SE w810i etc. this is nothing much professional and nothing much trendy, but still looks good enough in both professional and collegean’s hand. and that too at very affordable price, I bought it for 8200 and now available at about 7500.
FEATURES
=========
At the price given phone offers all the features current buyer may look for. It plays almost all kind of music files, you can set MP3 as ringtone. You can download many themes and ringtones from Internet, It has bluetooth Connectivity, Expandable memory slot with inbuilt 25 MB of space. it is a Flip Phone which attracts many flip phone lovers. big enough screen to view Videos or Photos. And yes nice quality 1.3 Megapixel camara which takes nice pictures. (more on camera after this). and yes, it has Radio too. finally you can download games etc. what more you want???
It also has got handsfree coming with it and with that you can listen your fav music with great quality, it has inbuilt preset equilizers which gives options between, normal, vocal, bass, trible you can set to your fav one (it doesn’t have Megabass which comes with w series only) and enjoy your music. What I did was I bought w series handsfree and attached with this phone and it gives same quality of music as W series phone by Sony (Except Megabass which i am not much crazy for).
You can also buy external speakers of Sony and attach to make it your mini music system with nice quality of sound. What I didn’t like at all is the sound of phone’s speaker, it sounds very less, sometimes I can’t hear the ring when I am on road. at full loud ringtone you would hear less than half loud setup of any nokia phone that is really pitty. you can’t hear mp3 music on speaker of phone. you will have to keep phone near your ear to hear them.
CAMERA
=======
Not as great as K750 but not as bad as Nokia 6600, 1.3 Megapixel camera produces nice images on good lighting conditions but it fails in low light, Nightmode does no improvement at all, and on otherhand night mode of Nokia 6600 is superb!!! I printed several 6x4 photos taken in nice light conditions and they came out great as far as mobile camera is concerned. It also has few modes like Burst Mode which takes 4 pictures in couple of seconds on 1 click that helps you to capture the moment. also penorama mode but it allows to take only 3 pictures to make panorama, well NOT enough you can’t even take 180 degree with only 3 pictures. finally it has b/w and sephia pictures if you love them. overall satisfying quality in daylight and pitty in the less light.
DISPLAY & OTHERS
================
Display of this phone is Awesome, it has 255K color display which shows nice themes and crispy text. few other things I would like to mention are, It has got nice buttons unlike W series phones, nice flip quality in 9 months i used the clip very roughly but still no problems and no looseness found. nice battery, enough talk time and standby time.
THINGS I LIKED ABOUT THIS PHONE
=============================
It has nice features at the price, nice quality sound in earpiece or external speakers. nice display.
THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE
=================
Poor Phone Speaker Sound, Poor Photos in less light (poor comparing to Nokia phones, even 6600). Have to use Sony Memory Stick only which is not useful in other phones, so your next phone must be Sony or sell current with memory stick. which gives hassel to take backup of data etc etc.
You may have found my review more like marketing article of Sony but it is like that only, except phone Speaker and camera I liked everything else in the phone. if you want nice phone with affordable price with different look and can live with less sound while it rings or you don’t love hearing songs on speaker phone. This Phone is for you.
