Sony Ericsson Z550i

Sony Ericsson Z550i

This phone does the basics well and adds a sprinkling of extra features, but we did have some issues relating to textual dysfunction.

Solid construction and chic design ; Good balance of business and fun

Top buttons sometimes stopped responding when phone was opened quickly ; Phone not optimised for the Web and music features it offers

As a final note, our Quick Draw McGraw text message problem did cause much annoyance, and we've scored the phone accordingly, but we'd wager that this is a firmware issue and may not affect the whole batch. Just be aware that you might have to restrain...

Sony Ericsson Z550i

The Sony Ericsson Z550i has two colours schemes available, SterlingBlack and Pearl Copper (the black one being the "blokey" handset, and the copper Z550i the "girlie" one, we presume). The Z550i will ship to Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia...
