Data communication, battery
The i550 works on GPRS, EDGE, UMTS and HSDPA networks, on the last one it can change data at the speed of 3,6 Mbit/s. No WLAN, the browser uses the solution known from the Nokias, no problem with it. On the local level, 2.0, stereo Bluetooth and USB (with the same version number). The phone can be charged with this. The mobile connected to the PC can be used as an external hard-drive, in this case the contents of the memory card are manageable.
Under the back cover there is a battery with a 1000 mAh output. Well, the phone gets on with this for one day if you don’t start using the GPS, because a fully-loaded device can get empty in 50 minutes if the user navigates with it. The performance is pretty weak even without this, if it’s used lightly, it can stay on for two days, but you’d better carry a charger everywhere, and in the car it is totally necessary.
Summary. This phone in this shape is not enough. Given a basically perfect system (Symbian), around this should have been made a good phone, however this usually succeeds. Now it didn’t, crowded buttons, lame trackball, and the reason why a user would choose the i550 than other Smartphones, the navigation, is more like punishment than a useful feature in this case. To the top of it: weak battery, no WLAN, no equalizer… So, the Korean giant couldn’t make it this time.
I myself got the conclusion: there’s nothing better than a 50,000 HUF iGo-based (or maybe Garmin) navigator, smoother and more comfortable if you really need navigation. The mobile phones’ navigation is still not developed enough to be able to be used accurately, but the i550 has weak points on many other fields, so now we are not going to give any seals, even if we don’t know yet how much it will cost.

The phone was provided by the Samsung’s Hungarian branch office. Thanks for that.
