I think 5700 too has audio chip( i am not sure),but it fails to beat W810i.  Do audio chips really makes a difference. |

Can you prove it fails to beat W810 with figures and RMA tests? Please go into more detail as im facinated to see how it would get beaten by a device that doesnt employ any music enhancing technology. If you know anything about a DSP or the chip used you wouldnt even be making such silly comments. Forget w810 it would even beat the w910.

It's my own experience dude.I found w810i more bassy and clear.I don't go by RMA results,and then again i don't fine any difference between SQ of n91 and w810i(n91 is just loud).Remember sq is subjective. I have normal ears(not audiophile ).

Sound quality is subjective, and regardless as to having an audiophile to do a test, i dont listen with an audiophile i listen with my ears. Imo the average person will play it by ear when it comes to sq, whatever sound best will be the phone purchased. Ive listened to the n95 8gb and ive listened to my p1i and my other se phones for me se wins and yes even against an ipod, which are crappy sound quality anyway. The average person would be hard pressed to tell the difference between a dsp and a regular mp3 player thats why you need an audiophile. DSP just becomes bragging rights. |

I've just checked at EMMA and the branded O2 and Vodafone firmwares are online, so I think it won't be long

Tried the iPhone over the weekend comparing to my W960i and I'm glad I went for the W960i !!! The iPhone is far superior for video though. Neat graphical & user interface features but seriously lacking in functionality.
The iPhone might have two speakers but they sound crap compared to the single speaker on the W960i which also has higher volume and less distortion at maximum volume.
I've owned many dedicated mp3 players including Rio, Creative, iPod etc. and the W960i is easily up their in its sound quality & even the included earplugs are good. Sounds fantastic with DS980's.
There was a thread previously on this forum that showed P1i/W960i/P990 have dedicated audio chip as part of the spec. See if I can find the link. |

That's right! They run Philips' Nexperia which has it all included. 3D graphics, audio DSPs and so on.
