But of course, no Windows Mobile 5, so it's a waste of money 
I don't know why they had to pork it up compared to the C500 though. A step backwards.
Anyone know if this one is a dust magnet? |

Don't hold your breath but I have suspicion that T-Mobile will not put-up with outdated OS and could release it (as T-Mobile SDA II) but with Windows Mobile 5.0 ! In this case of course C550 could be upgraded with ROM from SDA II... however generally you are right: no Windows Mobile 5.0 - no deal. There's is just much too much in Windows Mobile 5.0 to give it up... |

The Conclusion of this C550 is that
The reception quality rouses no cavils. The power of the vibra and the signal volume are average. Setting a loud mp3 melody as a call signal you will hardly miss it.
The main advantages the model possesses are long battery life, small size (for a smartphone) and a qualitative high resolution screen. These parameters will make the C550 unbeatable till the end of the year. Still the only Windows Mobile rival is Samsung i300. Their direct comparison is inappropriate, since the last device is larger and has an integrated hard drive and a wheel. They belong to different price categories.
Nokia 6681 is an indirect rival for C550 They are run by different operating systems but still can be compared, since the prices and specs are commensurable.
C550:Better than Nokia 6681 in QVGA display, weight and dimensions, assembly quality, battery life.
Now C550 is one of the best on the market. The probable next step is EDGE and Wi-Fi support in smartphones. Well, let's see. |
