Conclusion

So... here we are at the Bottom line again. This is the part where I let you know if this is a phone worth your investment. And let me say, it is. The camera, in all honesty may not be superb but it is good. The media player and FM radio are good too and connectivity is no problem. So you're pretty well covered from connectivity to media. And don't forget, it runs for a long time on a single charge. My recommendation is, for a price of around Rs. 10,900 go right ahead and get one. The K550i may not be a phone that gets a fantastic rating but it meets all your needs with a sense of ease.
