So I'm Fickle Minded




After about two and a half months of research on the Sony Ericsson K550i and W710i, I ended up purchasing the W700i.
Quite an affordable walkman phone at Rs. 9800/-


Pros -
*Fast music transfer from PC to phone
*2mx camera with protective slide on cover for the lens; flash
*FM
*Shipped with 512MB memory card (Phone memory 34 MB)
*Comfy keypad
*Great earphones (Blocks out most noises)
*Orange backlight (BY FAR my favourite colour!)


Cons -
*No autofocus on camera (But the picture quality is still great, the flash took some good shots even with only a 12 inch tube light lit in my room)
*The joystick takes some getting used to, but compared to what the phone offers, one can (and should) neglect this.
*No EDGE/GPRS. Only has WAP 2.0 and XHTML browser. (I'd personally prefer a laptop to a cellphone if I ever wanted to be connected on the move)


Cheap trivia -
*One of the few phones that looks better in hand than on screen.



TIP - Don't go for the K550i. It may have the works, but the keypad is the worst in cell-phone history.
