choosing k550i or w610i

[vish786]

can someone give prompt replies.

1.) does k550i have same hardware as w610i (features like mega bass work the same as in w610i) ?

2.) does k550i have same onboard/inbuilt speaker as of w610i ?

3.) have heard theirs some flash problem in k550i ? is it true

4.) listening to 5-6 hrs of music daily is that a problem for k550i since its not a walkman phone ?

5.) what are flash menus ?

6.) does camera slide(behind k550i) get loosen coz of constant opening-closing ?

....both w610i & k550i are in budget but I simply dont wanna spend extra Rs. 2500-3000 for features since both are same (k550i@w610i...) except for w610i being a little stylish phone I dont wanna pay more. (thats the whole pt.)

yes for style go for w610i
or else k550i @ 6.7k for exchange at sangeetha

batteries are the same !! in k550 w610 w580 s500 etc etc
and battery backup is same for both phones !

many are offering k550i at 7.3k-7.5k .. the best phone for this price !!
then of course you know where to head

Prompt reply follows!

1.) does k550i have same hardware as w610i (features like mega bass work the same as in w610i) ?

Yes, but not enabled by default. You gotta flash k550i with w610i to enable these features.

2.) does k550i have same onboard/inbuilt speaker as of w610i ?

Yes

3.) have heard theirs some flash problem in k550i ? is it true

Never heard as yet.

4.) listening to 5-6 hrs of music daily is that a problem for k550i since its not a walkman phone ?

No, no problems.

5.) what are flash menus ?

Adobe flash??? But stripped and ported to the cellphone for animated menus/icons/events etc.

6.) does camera slide(behind k550i) get loosen coz of constant opening-closing ?

Again, never heard. Mebbe akshay can shed some light on this.

....both w610i & k550i are in budget but I simply dont wanna spend extra Rs. 2500-3000 for features since both are same (k550i@w610i...) except for w610i being a little stylish phone I dont wanna pay more. (thats the whole pt.)

Absolutely, get K550i, flash it to W610i and enjoy the best of both worlds

now as the purpose of the original creator is fulfilled i think i can hijack this thread.....
m planning to change mah phone too(ryt now got a 9300i) the budget is arround 11k......m completely floored by w660i.its price is qouted as 10.9k on indiagsm...is that the correct price.....what r the main difference between w660i and k550i,apart from w660i being drop dead sexy.....plz suggest other better phones in this price range also(if there are any )

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

hmm i think you should check out nokia stable

there is w610i .. phone with auto focus .. and damn sexy .. got no 3G
w660 no auto focus .. also its got no EDGE.. but 3G
or else k550i .. LOL

 

[infra_red_dude]

W610i is the walkman counterpart of K550i.
W660i is the walkman counterpart of K530i. Apparently K530i can be flashed to W660i.

 

[krazzy]

W660i looks quite good but I find W610i to be a better buy because of auto-focus and EDGE. Other good phones in this range are 5700 and 5310 XM.

any time i will choose k550i
good features in less price
it also looks very stylish both in black and white
