@ mweb6161,
Question for you dude. Is it true about 3 disabling wifi and VoIP in the N95 and other phones?
Posted by MWEB
Hi Sappy, err not AFAIK, i had a quick look around to see if i could find a definitive answer and could not find anyone complaining of such.
Best place to find answers about 3UK is here BTW.

how can they disable wifi?

I really doubt that as they have excellent Data plans and with their X series tariffs have the best set up for Skype and Slingbox plus some other exclusive goodies that escape me just now.

OK i wasn't aware of that seems rather crazy to me, so i suppose that means they have two versions of phones then the X series with a Data Plan and all features and then an non X series crippled phone. I never really liked 3 any way and have no plans on moving from T-Mobile. As Voda and 02 still have rip off Data charges and Orange just suck and i wouldn't use them even if it meant giving up Mobiles altogether as in my last dealing with them i had to issue a 14 days notice prior to instituting legal action to their Legal department to resolve my issues.

WAITING FOR MegaBass from Nokia........ also an easy 2 use Player.....
Posted by Dogmann
@silverwarren
Mega bass sucks it's a gimmick and a 8 or 10 band equaliser does the job much better. Also i don't know what Nokia Music player you have seen or used but the N series player is excellent both for UI and performance, hell even the E series player is great if not as pretty.

walkman has already been superseded by all the main manufacturers.
SE needs something fresh because having 5 billion walkman phones all looking the same isn't really doing SE or their customers any favours.

How can the W950i, W580i and W810i all look the same?
SE has dominated the music phone market otherwise why would Samsung start pushing music phones and why did Nokia create Expressmusic? It was purely in reaction to SE's
success. Any music-phone maker would love to emulate the success of Walkman phones.

yeah, i can see what you're saying in that walkman did pressurise the other manufacturers to step up a gear. but now that walkman has been superseded by samsung, nokia, and motorola, they need to consider something new, if not for the near future.
i mean, all the walkman candybars look virtually identical, differing only in the shape of their keys and slight difference in the call/end/direction key area.
when one sees a whole row of SE's in the shops they look all the same. one has to look closer to see any difference. none of them seem unique in an attractive way.

Totally agree
Anyway, Walkman phones are the best-selling music phones, and will stay that way from a long time. Top music quality or not, 99% of people would buy a Walkman phone instead of a RORK or Xpress to music

that's marketing for yer. in the same way that the u600 is one of the top sellers in the UK.
being a top seller doesn't make something good. one only has to look at the microsoft vista to see that.

Hi all
Well i actually think the most interesting quote for me is
"SE has dominated the music phone market"
That being the past tense as in my experience of testing various SE Walkman phone W950 and the W880 neither where as good at producing a good quality sound stage with plenty of volume as either my N93 or N95. In fact even my E61 gives better results except for a pretty UI and Album Art neither of which i consider to be important over quality of sound IMHO.

this emphasises sony ericsson's dire need to come up with something fresh
