No. I bought my N91 8GB ages back n nokia had promotion offer were they were giving ... moreYeah it is good to upgrade the firmware, but still im not saying Nokia's are bad or anything, there good
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.

Shayn, 19 Aug 2008I aint saying Loudness is the key to best audio quality. N91 has superior sound quality. try u... moreThe 3.5mm jack is on the Headphone jack

N91 has superior sound quality. try u... moreguys, there is a 3.5mm audio jack that comes in the box with every walkman phone! u just have to connect it :) btw.. they didnt implement the 3.5 mm jack on the phone coz it will make it look too ugly! take more space. plus their is no need, wether to have a 3.5 or not is optional for us, connected or not? our way :)

N91 has superior sound quality. try u... moreSo Let me get this straight, your paying Nokia all that money for an N91 and then you have spend money for Boose earphones and then upgrade the firmware to improve the 'Sound Quality'
now seriously, id rather not buy it for all that HASSLE!!!
SE Walkman's have GOOD SOUND QUALITY!, and come with Earphones as good as Sennheiser
so Nokia is basically Hassling People LOL!

3.5mm jack is unneccesary? sure! but with 3.5mm is more comfortably! and with fewer cable ._.
The problem of havent 3.5mm is the stupid fastport, it gets screwed up immediately, at least the one that I have had, fastport is very bad connection and occupies more space, even to hold the mobile.
It is my opinion. Anyhow I have not proved the w980 still! but i hate fastport.

Shayn, 19 Aug 2008I aint saying Loudness is the key to best audio quality. N91 has superior sound quality. try u... moreAt the end of the adaptor cable. Allowing handsfree call handling while using your own earphones. 3.5mm jacks are unneccesary. Why is it that only people who don't like the Walkman phones care aboiut a 3.5mm jack? Most of the people who DO like the Walkman phones don't bother about it. It's like complaining about a lack of wrist-strap eyelet - sure, they're handy but absolutely unneccessary...

I aint saying Loudness is the key to best audio quality. N91 has superior sound quality. try using the N91 4GB with v2.20.008 firmware and N91 8GB with v3.10.023 firmware coz firmware hold the improvements to sound quality.
some1 said sony ericsson earphones are better than Boose. give me a break, boose headphones are far superior to sony ericsson earphones and Sennheiser earphones.
BTW W980i is a music phone wheres the 3.5mm audio jack?

Shayn, 18 Aug 2008the world keeps getting dumber and dumber. with ridicolous awards. W980 lol. Nokia N91 still h... morehi, N91 doesnt ring any bell at all when it comes to music department. Fact is you were just trying to neglect what your ear hear differently than that of w980! loudness does not make the phone audio qaulity superior for christ sake. Beat this, has your N91 been aclaimed by well renowned testfactory lab in germany as best audio experience? i dont think so but w980 had... so better listen to it again and guess really who is the best. you refuse to see the difference that's why you still love the n91 of yours!!!!

thats dumber than what you think of the world is.
sony ericsson has the best quality you can get straigth out of the box. sony ericsson doesnt need bose headset for quality. sony ericsson headset is even better than bose.
and yup n91 was the best music phone BEFORE. NOT NOW. sony ericsson has taken over the world of music phones. and this is it.

Shayn, 19 Aug 2008EISA are dumb gets. thats all i can say. N91 dominated all mobile phones for audio quality and... moreShayn, get real...
Higher Volume doesnt mean 'Quality'
its like Nokia put Stereo Speakers in there phones why???????
theres no reason for it, there practically useless
i mean only a***'s would blast music with them in public! WTF!
anyway SE has HIGH VOLUME Through the earphones, and Yeah its Loud i mean after 2 hours you have to take them out becuase its that LOUD! and the Output from Walkman phones is just CLEAR and CRISP Sound, and Treble is just Perfect, and and BASS! is just Spot On..i mean its the Perfect as they say 'SONIC EXPERIENCE' for Music! MegaBass feels like a Disco in the ears!!!!!!!!
and with all that Perfect, The Walkman Player is soo easyy to use and nicely designed.
i mean to get the next track you simply click down!!! easy!
and the Walkman Player looks Nice to, 'Slick' is the word for it
and Walkman Phones on top of that. come with the IN EAR Headphones! with 3.5mm jack! and a decent sized memory card
and on top of all that....Walkman Phones have Great Designs 'Sexy' is the word for them!
and on top of that Walkman Phones have the BEST OS in Phones iv ever seen....
WALKMAN PHONES ARE THE BEST FOR LOADS OF REASONS!
got it ?
W980i is a True winner...
