Yay! I didn’t expect to get my super-special present a week before Christmas and now I am a happy owner of the Sony Ericsson W550i, otherwise known as “the other Walkman phone.” All I can say is that it’s damn good ~ well, at least better than the basic phone I had before this.

What I was thinking before buying: “Oh gee, these unscrupulous merchants have jacked up cellphone prices just because it’s Christmas. But since I might spend the money on something else, sige bilhin na nga! (Go ahead, I’ll buy it!)”

What I like about this phone:

256 MB of internal memory (sorely needed for storing my large number of contacts)

1.3 megapixel cam

user-friendly nav key on the front panel

a flashlight!

great sound quality, great voice reception

slim & handy form factor

not only has an FM radio but is definitely a Walkman music player

easy transfer of songs from PC to phone with Disc2Phone software

cheaper than its brother, the W800

Downside:

the keypad feels awkward at first and takes getting used to

“missed calls” from a single number list only the last time called

the “twist” mechanism which I don’t get the rationale for. Why doesn’t SE just have a slider?
