I recently bought Sony Ericsson w800i and gave my w550i to my sister. I wanted to have this phone for so long and now since I have it. 😀 Since I have both the phones so I can compare features between them. Both have its own pros and cons. Let me list few of them. (The ones I came across)
– First major difference is, w500i does not have memory slot, it has fixed 256 MB internal memory where w800i comes with memory slot and 512 MB memory stick. (approx 34 MB internal memory)
– w550i has great sound capacity with 3 speakers, w800i has just one speaker which does not produce much of sound. Sound quality is great in both the phones but the due to 1 speaker, w800i lacks the sound volume of w550i.
– Browse button is missing in w800i, for me it was very useful. In w550i, I just had to press that button and it would open the browser but in w800i, I have to click on Internet Services option and from there enter the site address.
– Camera quality – It’s just superb in w800i, 2 mega pixel cam with great clarity; w500i lacks that, specially when you try to click the photos in the night / dark.
– Quick contact search option like Nokia is missing in w550i but w800i has it 🙂 Didn’t get what I mean? For e.g If I want to dial Deep’s number, then I can just write D and then E…so it will list names starting with DE, in w550i I can’t do that….
– Quick profile switch, in w550i you can switch the profile quickly by just pressing power button and selecting the profile but w800i, doesn’t have that option. Logically its not needed. It has option to switch the phone on silent.
Rest of the features seem to be same. But the phone w800i is just too cool. I needed small, sleek phone for me and I got it 🙂
Update: Pics taken by both the phones… W550i has more of noise in the pics…

W800i
i am dissapointed with w810i music system.i always wanted a louder music player but thts wht is missing w810i.i have already got w810i.stereo output is also missing in w810i.are there any ways to make my w810i more louder?
email me ur answers pls(krisgeneral@yahoo.com with subject w550i)
I was thinking that since w550i has 256 MB of memory, it could be using a memory stick to store data, so it could be upgraded the hard way, opening up the phone and replacing the memory stick with a larger memory…is this feasible?
hey guys i have 6680 and want to bye a new phone.i’m interested in 3250. guys if you have other phones in mind with similar features and same budget then plz. give me your views.
how do u compare w550i with motorazr v3i the new one coming with iTunes compatibility
Hey Saravanan,
I got a W550i for 11,300 (with bill) two weeks back. Trust me, the phone is simply superb for its price. And for normal usage 256 mb is more than enough.
My cousin got a V3i just a 4 weeks back, naturally I compared his phone with my. I think W550i is a far better phone than V3i.
Let me list why:
1) nothing can be compared to the sound quality of W550i. may it be simply its speaker or headphones plugged in, sound quality is awesome. After all its walkman.
2) The graphics are better & smooth than V3i, interface is very fast, smooth and pleasing (of W550i).
3) The games given with the phone are great, very fast and 3d.
4) I personally find W550i more stylish.
5) The data transfer between your phone and pc is very simple, the phone would detected as USB mass storage device. Just drag and drop.
6) W550i has changeable skins. You will get two skins with your new phone, I got Orange and Blue. Ability to put new colors in 550i is always an added advantage.
Now, the only things at which v3i beats 550i is size of its screen, memory is expandable upto 512 in v3i. But trust me, you wont regret the screen size of 550i, because the quality and display of LCD is far better than any other phone.
In short this phone is amazing in range of 11-12k. Dont think twice, go for it.
You got anymore doubts about 550i, do ask me at vipuljain48@yahoo.com.
with 2megapix cam,gud sound clarity,& other features k750i is the best phone in the range of 10k-15k.i got this phone for 11.5k in hyd.
hi atul, you may be right, but K750i lacks those looks, after all looks are also an important factor when we buy a phone above 10K range. K750i got outdated and ordinary looks. Though i admit the phone is technically good and rich with features for the price it is available today. But the fact is K750i is an old phone now, and steadily phasing out. Where as the walkman brand is barely 1 year old in India.
is 3230 better than w550i,comp wrt sound quality ,camera,gamingetc.my budget is around 12k would u suggest any other phones. urgent
w550i is anytime batter than Nokia 3230, sound wise, picture quality wise and looks wise…
HIIIIIIIII every one ,
I would like to purchase one mobile with a range in 10-12k but i would like to know is w550i is better or k750i is better
can any one describe me ,plz send me mail on this address avinashnavale@gmail.com
Hi Avinash, K750i is available around 13K these days, wereas 550i is anywhere between 11-12K, i got it 550i for 11300, just 3 weeks back.
K750i has got a better camera (2mp), 550i(1.3)
K750i has memory slot (34 mb in built), 550i comes with in built memory 256mb, no slot.
The sound quality of 550i is better than K750i.
all the other features are the same. Only thing is that K750i has better camera and memory slot.
See what you are actually lookin for, a stylish, feature packed music phone, go for W550i.
If imaging is your preference, of course k750i is better.
Hi Guyz…
Thinking of owning 550i..Just wanna know, from where can we download unlimited themes, or any other softwares….Is 550i compatible with any kind of .sis files, as its in the case of Nokia…Do we have any option of loading unlimited games too and can I have the link to download free games…Looking forward for having the booming walkie…

Hi,
You cant install any softwares (except java based ones) on the SE w800i
You cant move messages to a folder either, the message storage capacity is very less in SE phones..
Deep

So, is w800i better than w550i??i really need to know..because i’ve been thinking of buying on of those…is either w800i or w550i. which one is better…? where did u buy ur’s?
Hi,
i jst bought w550i 20 days ago for 10.5k in delhi. Earlier i was using nokia ngage ,I do miss the screen of ngage which is quite bigger than w550i and also the vides playback as it is difficult 2 find 3gp format videos and converter messes up the picture quality.Since i m not much of a mobile camera guy i dnt mind the resolution besides it every feature of the camera is of a standard camera,It also has a light which can b also userd as torch its really bright.So u guys must be wondering wat made me buy this fone. Yes its the speakers and the sound quality. I luv music nd this is the phone for me ,i had bought ngage for the same reason bt w550is sound quality and loudness is much much better perhaps the best in the market. The 256 memory works fine for me and downloads are very much available anf easy i would recommend http://www.myw550.lycas.net it is one stop to provide all w550i download needs. Bye for now if u have any query abt his fone dont hesitate to contact me on sidjsr1@rediffmail.com
