Okay, I am confused here. Microsoft official site do not mention that 550 has the compass, but many shops has it stated in parameters. So, does lumia 550 has the digital compass, or not?
If the official site says it doesn't have, it's wise to believe what it says.
Based on my experience, some shops don't know what they place in their labels. Four out of five times I walk in a gadget store and I learn that I know more about the device I want than the salesperson (even the manager sometimes!). Of course, this will vary depending on location... but the bottom line is - if the official site says so, then believe it and nothing else.
I get what you trying to say, and probably you are right, and 550 doesn't have the compass (=fail)..
The point is, the official site doesn't say it doesn't have the compass, but it doesn't say that it does either But again, as I said, you are probably right, because it would be a funny world in which one would stat what features the device doesn't have hehe
