I want yo to give me your opinions about walkman phones (w900, w810, w850, w950 etc..) v/s iPod Video.
A friend is in the doubt if to buy M600 an a 30GB iPod Video (What I did and was even cheaper than the w950) or a SE W950.
What is your opinion in terms of sound quality?
And all advantages and disavantages of walkman phones in general and iPods. |

I have used both. Meaning a separate SE Phone with an Ipod as an MP3 player and a Walkman Phone as a main mp3 player.
Ipod doesn't really impress my ears when using the normal stock earphones. I have to jack up the volume to compete with the sound around me. However, if you plan to use your Ipod for home use with speakers, go for the Ipod.
The Walkman phone is good for short travelling, especially if you don't want to miss a call. But if you plan to use it with speakers at home, you have to sacrifice missing calls especially if you're in flight mode.
I don't like using my walkman phone as mp3 player for long trips because it would drain the battery fast that i would not be able to use it as a phone anymore. Of course a car charger will always be handy.
Bottomline, it really depends on how you want to use it. I'm having the same problem actually. I'm still thinking of buying a W850i or a separate 4 gig Ipod Nano 2 plus a K750i.

IMO, you should just get a average phone like a K800 or some other phone and get a iPod. iPods are definately better for music, there's more space, so you don't have to buy memory sticks and it has it's own headphone jack that Walkman phones don't so you won't attract attention when your headphones get loose and the music starts playing and everybody looks at you, which happened to me a lot of times already. plus, you can watch more videos as well. |

my w800i owns my nano ipod. the walkman phones have an equalizer and megabass thumps hard aswell as a loudspeaker to play music, tho. btw it is nice to listen to music and at the same time receive fone calls by using the handsfree, convinient. if you listen to music all day on your phone it won't drain the battery all away. its battery is excellent. 15 hrs with phone on and 30 hrs with phone off specs say. get the symbian phone w950i.

there was a review on Mobile Review or New Mobile with the w950 against ipop video and nokia n91, they said that the w950i was best overall 
maybe someone has the link to the review? |

that is *as9d8**** awesome coxy, i've always wanted one but don't have paypal to buy it. im living with the hpm-70 adapter atm and the mic is pretty useful, having the coil makes it fragile when putting in my pocket and tugging it so i taped it

well my opinion is Walkman SE phone is the excellent one.... you cant compare ipod too far from Walkman SE phone..... if you want to compare ipod...compare it to iRiver which is the best of all mp3 player (ipod = crap) |

@Coxy: What's that adaptor thing on the bottom of your phone in the second photo? I'd love one of those, then I can use my new PX100s with my K800i

The adaptor is simply a 3.5mm adaptor, it uses the charger bit because it is bigger and easier to fit a 3.5mm jack in.

ok guys iv used ipod 60gb and w800i both for more than like 5 months and trust me i loved w800i
wat makes w800i better than ipod is not only the UI of w800i i mean the speed and the clarity it delivers and everything but the headphones...yeah..killer once man.. dont go for ipod they suck big time their headphones are sick they are waste !!! if u raise it up to full volume the speakers cant resist...it..and you invite to buy a new headphones !!
besides that u can buy another headphone for ipod but trust me the headphones of sony ericsson are killer its small but with lot of bass in it and yeah the best part ur into the music world u cannot hear a single noise from outside..i love it!!
T200 -> T68i -> T610 -> K700i -> P910i -> W800i -> P990i -> M600i -> P1-> Nokia E71 -> X1i -> X10 -> Arc S -> Sony Z1 -> Sony Z Ultra -> Sony Z3+ -> iPhone 6 -> iPhone 7 Plus -> iPhone X -> iPhone XS Max |

IMHO what you are saying is that you judge a player by it's headphones - the cheapest and easiest part to upgrade.
