alfansey06 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2006 seen the image, my self having N6230i with 1.3Mpx camera, check it http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/6021/boy3wf.jpg but the pictures with digital still camera are much better than mobile camera's you can look at left side of your image , where light is coming from bihind, image is saturaing in that portion. and the image quality depends upon lighting conditions. you may get the better image at optimum lighting, but when light is poor picture is worst Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashoksoft 83 Report post Posted April 15, 2006 That pic was taken in motion btw... the same pic when taken using my premier digi (one of my old digi's) came out somewhat like this (it is at matheran and taken about 2 months ago). With a Premier DC2070 digicam and in lower lighting conditions the 6280 offers quite a punch ... compare that to a full light pic from my sony handycam ... and a dark shot ... Dark lighting shot With the flash light on.. Sun light snap Sun light snapDSC00102.JPG Sun light snap 2 Tungsten lighting Yet another pic ... this is again from one of my GSM Nokia handsets a 6260... taken under tungsten filament + fluroscent lighting.. Snap from my Nokia 6260 for the record here is a pic from a friends Nokia 6255 : 6255 Pic 1 Nokia 6255 Pic 2 and now an analytic comparision (not of equals) this snap is from my PowerShot A410 (one of the lower end cams - NOT A MOBILE) Sample Pic from my Cannon ************************** FM quality of the 6280 is kewl, so is the app load speeds especially considering I am using a Kingston 512 MB card....

manishag 17 Report post Posted April 15, 2006 Friends I am planning to buy W550i. i want to know your views about that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iiii_pretender_iiii 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2006 hrrm... Been a while... Greets fly to fish, arun, chirag, vishal, ashokjp... an all the ol timers (you know who you are...) respect... Coming back to the topic, W550i, lemme tell you somethings the site wont... Upsides Made for music... The phone function is an aftermath. No wonder then that when you boot up the cell, it asks if you wanna use it as a phone or a music player. Comes with amazing noise cancellation earphones... Its true stereo.. with mega bass and stereo widening. (These earphones are dangerous. It effectively cuts you off from the world.) A phone or a music player ? When it comes to music, sony does what it does best. With its immense experience with the music industry, This cell is no exception. It has all the extras that a music player should be having, dedicated volume buttons, dedicated play/pause buttons, *Loud* speakers, Walkman . If you care a damn for music, this is what you should be getting. I could go on and on about the software. The inbuilt walkman software helps categorise music that you put in based on the mp3 tags, for ex... by artist etc.. Also another feature i should mention is the support for playlists. yeaup create your own playlists and have them play in any order you want. Sony has left no stone unturned in the way it allows users to listen to their favorite music. Multimedia software Comes preloaded with editing software. Apart from the regular functions, you can trim your videos, add soundtracks, merge videos with pictures to create slideshows, supports transtitions... I found this cell more than enough for all my basic editing needs. The inbuild softwares include Photo DJ, Video DJ and Music DJ. A very well organised surprisingly fast menu system The menus at first look similar to K750i. Then you realise its jus the theme. Change the theme and the the menus change apearance depending on the theme chosen. I think this is the first time i've seen such powerfull theming support for any cell. Something i was very impressed with in this area is the speed. The navigation speed of the menus in relation to nokia is blazingly fast. Light years ahead of the damn slow nokia menus, still grappling to every available resource the phone, with you waiting frustratingly wondering why a 12k plus cell cant even show you some menus faster than your washing machine. So how fast are the menus? As fast as your fingers can take it. Also, The W550i menus look awesome. Themes can be downloaded from the site and the yes, the themes look awesome... Supports Jars like never before. The cell could handle all the jars i threw at it. some gave screen size errors (small screen ) But then again, those were ancient jars meant to be run on monolithic motorolas. I installed various apps on W550i along with a Ngage QD. I found W550i handled all the jars thrown at it, while the Ngage had problems with some of them like "easyJack" which can be download from wap.getjar.com. Java 3D for Games For the first time, sony finally has introduced any support for gaming, and now that it has, its left no stone unturned in this area too. "Extreme Air Snowboarding" is bundled with the cell. One look at this game and you'll wonder why people call Ngage a gaming cell ? (maybe for the sis support). The game makes full use of the Java 3D API to render beautifull serene mountain ranges and snowboarding tracks. The ingame music is nothing like you've heard before... No game i played on my Ngage ever featured such awesome music and graphics. ( If you are having trouble picking up this cell, just try your hnad on this game, and you'll take it home ). Another beautifull game bundled along is "Worms Forts 3". This game is a strategy game something along the lines of battleship. To explain this game in two words :"Damn addicting". Enough said. (Caution : This game can make you skip meals and cause you to walk on roads without taking your eyes off the cell screen.) Some other games i tried on this cell include XIII, Might and magic etc... They all ran fine with great speed. The cell seemed as fast as ever even when navigating with these games minimized. Da Camera To start off, no you still cant use it to shoot wedding videos. You'll still need an slr camera for that. Sad, isnt it... but then again you still dont live in strar trek, so lets get realistic. shall we ? The camera is a normal 1.3 mega pixel. You can read all about it on the site, so im not gonna go in depth about this. its a decent camera, has flash (which i use as a torch light and nothing else. I dont know how putting a flash in a cell phone has helped anyone ? if you want quality pictures, you are lookin at the wrong section. Who ya kidding, go buy a digicam. So whats this cam good for ? This cam is good for when you get together with your friends at some pub or when you need to take a quick picture of your friend walkin on his hands, with feet pointed to the heavens... (Picture Attached.)... You know you not gonna get this again, do you ? EDIT-Vishal Gupta: Welcome back buddy Click here to see the image This picture was taken at around 7.00 PM... no external source of light... no flash... not enough sunlight... This condition is also called *real life conditions* erm... and yea, remember, you never saw this picture Synchronisise with virtually everything Whats that supposed to mean ? It means what it says... synchronise with anything... any damn bluetooth device... The outlook express on your PC. All this is made even easier with the bundled USB cable. yes, yo dont have to buy another USB cable or bluetooth dongle after getting this cell. It even supports synchonisation over GPRS (This feature is a GEM)... yeap.. you can synchonise over GPRS with your server (Im not gonna explain how to set up a server here ). and backup your data on a regular basis... You can even chose which applications are allowed to synchronise. Talking of GPRS The browser is something worth a mention... with amazing rendering of images as well as placement of content, it has led me to believe, it can work with anysite and not just wap sites. the bowser also supports zooming in and out, which provides greater control over how you look at your webpages. Dedicated internet button to take you directly to your favorite homepage without even opening your cell. Crashes ? I've used this cell for about 3 months now and it has not crashed once... and when i say "once" i mean "once". This is surprising for a person like me who is used to rebooting nokia cells after they freeze up on ya... Worth a buy? If you are in for buying a cell at this price range, for all the functions and freatures that W550i provides, i found no other cell in the market that could satisfy me more. If you put up in bombay (It never was mumbai for me), you can get one for about 12.5k. The showroom price puts up at 14k as of writing this... To put it into simple words... Ericssion is the Macintosh of the cell world. Downsides No MMC card slot ( Read no extendable memory. ) You cannot increase the memory size. But comes with inbuilt 256 MB which is more than enough for any amount of music, unless you are too used to an ipod and think that its your mission to fit all the albums you have into one device. Notes -------- Do i work for sony ericsson ? Nope Did they pay for doing this ? Nope Is that you in the picture ? Nope Is that Fish (askhoksoft) in the picture? Nope. He did not fit into the frame, and i had to search for chirag in te viewfinder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashoksoft 83 Report post Posted April 16, 2006 lol ... I knew it !! EUREKA!! I knew it !! ) I could not fit in the frame of a SE handset's pathetic cam jokin ... the cam seems to be okay, SE could have done the interlaces a little better. but looking at the lighting and the image, i presume a software upgrade to re-encode the image dependent on lighting conditions akin to the ones on SE K608i (3 UK) will make it a superb device!
