in mumbai its 15k but its a real useless phone to say it before u buy

the reasons are
1. the memory is jus 256mb and not at all xpandable
2. i have tested the fone with aspect of the sound sound is loud but not that loud when compared to nokias 7710
3.multitasking is not possible when listening to music
so my advice stay back but if still u wanna buy go ahead as a digit reader i advised u to saty back els go am not blockin ur way

should be around 14.5k! yeah rite, one reason why SE doesn't provide memory expansion is that they know that any greater capacity memory card...and the phone will cry!!

many nokias (rather most of them, except a few!!!) crawl wid a 256mb card!

so i guess its the rite decision to limit the memory to this! tho i've never used a w550i...i suppose that its good! if u've got more cash get k750i! (i wudn't recommend u to get the w800i since its essentially k750i wid a different firmware..but almost 8k costlier!)

well w800i serves totally diff. purpose...itsa walkman fone...i buy it wen u need an ipod wit a fone....its got external sound n video support so kinda u can play its audio on a 7.1 threatre surround n can even connect to television to watch movies...so its in case u need dat...otherwise k750i is gud.....if not dat then stay wit w550i..its d best in ur budget.....

ps:-it wont suck processing speed as se processors r faster.

cheers

yo montsa007...Multi Taskin is possible while listenin to music. If u minimize the music player...u can do everything except watch videos. U can play games, take pictures , view them etc...

NO BODY CAN COMPARE THE QUALITY OF SONY 550I
FOR DISPLAY @ 256K TFT SUCH LARGE SCREEN
WITH FATASTIC STEREO WIDENING EFFECT WITH 3 SPEAKERS
BLUE TOOTH
INFRARED
SPEAKERPHONE
STYLE AND DESIGN
ESPECIALLY THE HEADPHONES. IF U LISTEN TO SONGS IN HEADPHONES U CAN NOT HEAR A LORRY ROARING BY UR SIDE. THATS THE CLARITY U GET WITH SONY.
THE FM WITH RDS FANTASTIC
DONT ANY ONE COMPARE IT WITH NOKIA AND MOTOROLA
I HAVE SEEN ALL OF THEM
E398 HAS DUMB SOUND WITH SLOW PROCESSOR
NO BODY SEES THE SPEED OF THE PROCESSOR WHICH IS MOST IMPORTANT. COMPARE WITH 6600
WHICH IS LIKE 486 MACHINE.

ANY ANSWERS?

Yup with Bluetooh u cant do anything but thats totally ok..I am using this phone for quite some time and really happy with it...

256 MB memory is more than enough for me...about sound..it is just amazing..I will suggest w550i if you do not want to store too much of stuff on the phone...
