SE K550i or Samsung E840?

Both look pretty good, and with even specs. The major difference I see is autofocus on the k550, but I am reading that it isn't a showstopper feature. Really, I am looking for input from anyone with either of these phones, just basic usage impressions.

My use would be mostly for everyday calls, some opportunistic photos, and overall, a unique, stylish phone.

Also, I read in a couple places some rumors that the e840 might be released by tmobile this summer, anyone know if there is any truth to that? Also, any other suggestions of something else in the 150-250 range that meets these specs would be helpful too.

Thanks for your help.
 
I have used both and would go K550i. UI is nice. AF isnt the best one SE has made, but it is better than the E840 camera.

Style wise the E840 wins, but the K550i is solid and very thin. Screen is also very bright.
 
i would have the e840 out of them. mostly because i would be far more confident in its longitivity. its also nicer looking and more unique looking.
the k550i just looks like most other barphone SEs.
 
Thanks for all the input. It has been helpful. I am leaning toward the e840, but don't want to pick it up just to have Tmobile start selling it a few weeks later. Anybody heard anything about Tmobile USA plans for this phone? Cheked the Tmobile forum and there seems to be conflicting reports about it. Thanks again.
