The W810i is still available in some stores. You will get it easily.

Regarding K550i, mod it to W series via tutorial(In mobile monsters) & then you can get good sound.

And what do you mean by low res camera? K550i & W810i both have 2 MP AF camera's.
And they are pretty good. BTW u did not wanted camera naa?

Yeah 6233 is also a good phone.

But W810i is better.

go for a k550 FTW.
it can be flashed to w610 for walkman.
then its got 2mp cybershot camera also. edge, all nice features you will love.

edge is hard.... not in k550
but k530 has 3g which can be flashed to w660 easily in 5 minutes... that easy job.

+1 to K550i. Mod it to W series once you get it. My friend bought the same. :)

@cool G5

sorry my mistake , by low camera resolution i meant low screen resolution

i read in the krates's review

does modding the phone firmwares cancel's the warranty , and is it possible to install back the old firmware in case , it needs some repair service ???

This is something even I would like to know. :neutral: Also we should be able to rollback firmware, isnt it? In case the new one doesnt work well or we dont like it?

It's possible to roll back to earlier firmwares.
