Revenant, 23 Aug 2008If the N81 was so great, why didn't it get the EISA's best music phone award? Also, you seem ... moreXpress Music from nokia are mid range phones nothing special. u feeling ok? N81 did not win an award in EISA due to the fact coz nokia dont offer music orianted music player applicaiton like the walkman application. the reason W980i won award due to its sound quality and the design n application that goes into with phone. people at EISA dumb these days anyways to be honest with u.
if there giving w980i award for music phone n in there statment they said w980i offers to support more audio files. so for example try putting a music file in aacPlus (M4A, AAC) at 48Kbits Parametric Stereo with a Embedded Album ARt u will notice the music player will not show the album art at all. On sony ericsson w980i u gota have the album art as a jpg with file in a folder. How stupid is that? supports more file nokia support more files and they support album art embedded.
Is my point ridiculous people at EISA. they dont even knw what they are talking about. N91 has better sound over N81.

Shayn, 23 Aug 2008How many walkman phones have Sony Released? so many indeed but nokia released two Music phones... moreIf the N81 was so great, why didn't it get the EISA's best music phone award? Also, you seem to be forgetting about the Xpress Music series - not that I can blame you, nothing particularly memorable there. That's possibly one of the most ridiculous claims I've ever heard - Nokia's music phones are better because they don't make many of them. Absurd...

Revenant, 23 Aug 2008Nokia? Better music player than the Walkman phones? Hah-hah-hah-hah-ha...!!!How many walkman phones have Sony Released? so many indeed but nokia released two Music phones back in 2005 N91 4GB/N91 8GB and they are the ultimate music phone killer. the sound quality is far superior than MP3 Player,IPOD, Zune. Its just shows nokia need to make one or two music phone not 100 different version of walkman phones which dont really have much different in them at all.

i wonder why many people talking bout the headphone which included with the mobile phone? i NEVER use it at all , just bought the phone adapter to 3,5mm and use with your good earphones bought separately (more expensive earphone offcourse more better sound) and the problem is solve. the 3,5mm adapter itself cost only us$ 6 in my country (SE,Nokia,Samsung).
so why must complain about it? the important fact is the phone itself must have good music software and hardware. i think nokia n958gb at this present time still the best music phone, hopefully SE released better music phone because actually i dont like nokia brand to much .

I simply love this phone. Got it a couple of days ago and the preferences and specifications that's included are great. A nice and solid phone that you can open and the hatch won't break easily. I also like the opportunity to send photos and posts directly to your blogger-account.

I'm thinking of getting this phone. I love clamshell phones & I love Sony Ericsson. I was thinking of upgrading my handset & getting this one... But I am not sure how you get notified with a text when it's closed?

From my opinion, if the product expect us to use a good headphone, it means that the product is not sure about their audio quality, just my opinion..

Dani , 21 Aug 2008Yeah it is good to upgrade the firmware, but still im not saying Nokia's are bad or anything, ... moreyep i get what u mean were nokia expect u to buy earphones n stuff. They offer symbian OS coz the hardware features run perfectly with the OS and plus multitasking n u can install ur own software and stuff. but one thing does lack on the nokia phones is the music player. i do find walkman player much user friendly.
apparntly in new nseries devices the ui is going to much nicer with full 100% animation throughout the phone coz nokia signed a deal with KASTOR UI.

its just i dont like Nokia's Music Phones, Nokia expects people to buy good earphones! and then they offer Symbian why?
SE gives good earphones in their sales package along with good walkman player software and UI
i respect both companies, but i stick to SE because there Quality

what is wrong with people crying for 3.5mm jack i have been using sony ericsson for more than 4 years but never found necessary to change my walkman head phone. ya sure i did buy HPM-85 but i still dont get man. all you need to 3.5mm jack is to plug your own head phone. and we all know the best headphone manufacturer in market in terms for voice quality is sony ericsson.... and dear friends only nokia need other head phones.... example n95 with its original head phone is crap.... try using HMP 70 on it...... and when you use HPM 85 you will stop using nokia.....

I think this phone is good, but I have just a couple of issues. For one thing it's too long when open, it just looks huge. Another thing is there are no other colour variants, next there's no camera button. And finally you can't do very much with the external screen at all, apart from use the walkman and radio. But apart from that it is a good quality phone.
