    My daughter got this phone as an upgrade in Feb, and loves it to pieces! The battery life is good, the speakers produce very loud music (she uses it in the common room at College) from lots of her favourite downloaded tracks, the camera/video is OK and she has mastered the one-handed opening trick. She was used to Nokia T9 and found the SE version took a bit of time to get used to and new words aren't automatically remmembered.
    It did seem to crash last month, but a quick trip to our local phone shop got it "flashed" with the latest software and it's running better than ever.

    i had one of these phones for about a month. Great sound and the walkman was great. Sadly the w550i is not dog proof...my dog chewed it up in 30 seconds and so it is now beyond repair. I replaced it with a moto v3i instead because its more hard wearing but i do miss the walkman. The rotating thing takes abit of getting used to and the phone crashed a few times which was annoying.
