Of course the K550i is better. The keypad is supposed to be not the best one ever, but I think the phone overall is a lot better than K750i. Plus, it is not three years old.

K550i is a cybershot phone. So its cam features ll be much better than the K750i.

K550i camera isn't any better then K750i, you can check yourself or read a review at Mobile-review.com

Screen Resolution is also same.

K750i uses Memory Stick Pro duo while K550i uses Memory Stick M2 which is a bit costly right now.

The only reason you should go for K550i over a K750i is the form factor & support for EDGE. Not the camera

Who said anything about the camera! I certainly didn't.

The last thing I look for, in a mobile phone, is the stupid camera.

K550i aint any better then K750i infact K750i is better eva bein a cybershot K550i's isnt that gud atleast not close to K750i,in every damn thin K750i scores better then K550i except for its age,its been quite sum time now since it was introduced,6233 is arnd 9k,6233 better then K550i as far as i m concerned!
6300 is trully pathetic especially its battery backup sux,u'll need to charge it everyday or may b twice a day if u use fm,music player,or cam for sum time.

hmmm.. abt the k750i vs. k550i cam.. i'd like to say something. i've personally seen the photos clicked from both phones transfered to a PC.. and lemme tell u something, tho the k550i's cam shoots a bit more grainy pics they are nevertheless fine. the difference is not very much noticable which can be corrected via noiseware or paint.net (both of which are free). so i think downplaying the whole phone for this reason is not fair.

i'm not able to understand how cud se brand the k550i when the pics clicked are a bit more grainier than k750i. but the formfacter and edge do really haf a point to make over k750i. again, the sore point here is the use of m2 cards where are the costliest now!

I have used both the phones K750i and K550i .I will suggest you to go with K550i .If you are not SMSholic .Screen Size of K550i is bigger .Don't except too much from mobile camras of both they are good for taking fun pictures, not for taking X-lent pictures . .

The keypad of K550i is not gud. Due to this reason only I bought K750i instead and 2 tell u the truth, I am glad that i made this choice. Excellent camera, cool looks, gud sound quality, inexpensive than K550i. K550i is only superior than K750i in terms of EDGE. nothing else.

The new keypad design adopted by Sony Ericsson in all their latest models – those thin keys that seem almost hard to press in fact prove pretty comfortable to use. Keen message fans may get their fingers sore in the beginning, but we are happy with the keys feedback and even people with large fingers don’t have problems with them. The keys backlighting is blue and it’s rather strong and even. However, the two side soft keys for the messages and I-mode are not that good and do not offer the needed feedback when pressed.

as far as I know. k750i is a very old model... go for a k550i, if u must.

k790i is a very good cam phone and u will never regret saving for it... loud speaker is NOT very loud (I used the phone), just average sound output, but very good clarity/quality. Excellent Xenon flash with 3.2 MP cam is its big plus.

K550i over K750i. Faster IMO.

BTW, you can get other phones in that price too. :neutral:
