^^when were each of these cells released? i wouldn't want its 'product cycle' to be over too quick.....no firmware updates, etc.
They were both released this year I think the K550i was end of Q1 and the T650i sometime in Q3. I did a quick price check on the K550i and in the UK it's currently available on PAYG for about £55-60, Which shouldn't be far out of most budgets. The T650i however is running at about £250. I think it's actually cheaper to get it SIM free from the Swiss eXpansys website, pay for it in Swiss Francs and pay through the nose for postage.

I have the V630i (K618) which has a much maligned non Auto-Focus,no Flash 2 Mp camera but even with these specs picture quality is still very good thanks to
.
Check out
my photos in the gallery or the
K610/K618 photo thread and decide for yourself.
I second the choice of W900! If you can convince somebody to part with one, buy it!

@north - How MUCH is your $$$$$ for a NEW fone
I would highly recommend the K800i as it's SO cheap and considered a GOOD buy at present, so GOes with the P990i (GOOD cam + PDA functions, a ALL in ONE fone at present) . . .
Good Luck !

The K800 is certainly a very good phone but it is pushing for nearly a year and a half old and the major inherent problem with it is the joystick, which tends to fail after about a year's worth of use. Unfortunately there isnt even a similarly specced SE phone with a d-pad instead of the joystick. The closest you'll get is the K770i which is good but lacking the xenon flash, best-pic, image stabiliser and red-eye reduction. But then so is your current K750. The K770i you can pick up for about £180 in the UK. So in the US you may be talking up to $365 ish.
If you're interested to know what the photos are like from the K550i
look here. I think you'll find the photos aren't much different in quality to what you're used to wit the K750i.
