w550i or k750i

va1o · 21-05-2006, 21:49

Hi I just rang up o2 to upgrade my o2 50 nokia 3230 (£19pm) and they offered me the two SE phones mentioned above instead of the w810 what i wanted for just £10 with my monthly line rental cut to £9 pm. At first I accepted the w550i because the woman said it had a 2mpx camera and expandable memory but I later found out it didnt but by then it was to late. Im not sure whether I should just keep the w550i or take the k750i with the free 256mb memory and flash the w800 firmware onto it. Considering these phones would have to last a year, which one should I take??
Thanks.

What do you want out of the phone? I've got the w550 and am quite happy with it. I have a seperate MP3 player and a good digital camera so I don't really need the expandable memory. The 256 on it is more than enough to hold texts and any odd pictures I take with it. I also like the sounds it can make when you open it too, but I think that's quite a girlie thing tbh

Oh yes, I'm sure the camera on it is 1.3 but I'd need to check and I don't have the phone on me currently.

Are you willing to pay a bit extra to upgrade to the w810i rather than the k750 if you want a new phone that will do you for the next year?

Hmmm maybe i will take the w550/k750 then in 6 months time buy a d600 or w810 on o2 PAYG. I am 15 so to me £9 per month is very good value on contract but it is essential to have a good cool like show off phone when you are my age.

The K750i is a quality phone, even though it has been out for a while

If you can afford to get the W810i, then get it, if not, take the K750i and buy a W810 in a few months if you can.

Both of them have the same camera, the only real difference is the walkman software on the W810, and a few cosmetic differences.

I will wait for the K800i, 3.2 mp camera and massive memory available for it.

The w550i was delivered today but everyone told me it is crap so I had it sent back to o2. I decided that I will cancel this contract and start a new one. The two free phones I got my eye on now are the SE w810 and nokia 3250. Not at all sure what to get though.

After owning many Nokias, I got fed up with my last two breaking down so got a K750i.
Go for the SE

You wont regret it! Also looks like an amazing phone!

Hi, today I managed to get a free nokia 3250 of o2 for my upgrade as a "replacement" for the w550i, so I am paying £9 a month for a smart phone worth in excess of £200, Pretty happy! I took it over the w810 purely because its a smartphone and it is not very common unlike the walkman phones...
