You asked, so yes.

Unless you-re talking about the n95-1. Then maybe, still though. Why would you downgrade to smaller screen and less features.




Probably he likes it because of the slimness and the design.

@Nanu


You really don't understand me at all every single user is free to buy what ever they feel suits there needs the best. I have never told anyone not to buy SE and challenge anyone to find a post where i have. All i do is defend a product from stupid and unfounded criticism all because it doesn't have an SE badge. Just because MO is that most SE's use outdated spec's and offer poor value for money doesn't have to be anyone else's.

But if you remember Sherry had a N95 missed SE so sold it and bought a K850 and then complained about what a stupid thing that was to have done. As let's face it the K850 is great on paper but poorly executed even with this new firmware, the W910 sharing the same platform also seems to have plenty of problems from reading the forum.

Some people really need to wake up the fact SE really isn't the great company it once was any more, hopefully 2008 will change that but currently SE have a lot of work to do to get it right again IMO.

Is the w910 camera better than k750 one or the same?

worse. w910i does not have AF

Lacking AF is not necessarily a bad thing as long as the lens is good. A camera with fixed focus is ready to shoot immediately while AF always takes at least a second, usually more. Very useful with a fixed focus camera when (trying to) take pictures of pets and small children.

HeHe ... You would be crazy to change to a W910 ...
W910 doesn't have much good features IMO , comparing to the price ... i mean its over-rated and much expensive then its features ... but yes it really is beautiful and AWESOME screen , but LoudSpeaker sound is not good , im telling u this from my personal experience ...

If u want more bigger screen , good battery life ,good slider then you should sell away your n95 and go for N95 8 GB ... Though it is expensive ...

And if u can't seem to afford n95 8 gig , and u want beauty , good battery life ,nice screen , BAD CAMERA , BAD VIDEO RECORDING , LACKING AF , NO WIFI , WORST LOUDSPEAKER IN HISTORY OF MOBILE PHONES ... THEN GO FOR W910 ...


And don't even think about getting K850 , cuz i assure you that if u get K850 by selling N95 , you woudn't get happy , and im ASSURING you.

Yesterday I was totally sane (thanks to SE fans) and today I am crazy! (thanks to a counter-attack of nokie fans)
Also I said the only real thing I will miss from the N95(it's a N95-1) is it's high level of recording videos,I am confused about loudspeaker quality and volume of the W910 as I have read as negative posts as positive ones...
The N95 volume is high and clear and sometimes even too high! I don't expect that the W910 is as high because it's not stereo but at least higher than the k800...

I will surelly see the W910 in a shop before taking a final decision,I hae seen a black one yesterday but it was inboxed and the seller didn't want to open it Anyway I still don't know if I would take the black or red one,the red one supposed to be more girly?!
I falled in love with the havana gold but they didn't bring this color,can you find spare parts covers of havana gold in SE shops so you could tune your W910?

You hate nokias and you went on and bought their most expensive offering? If thats not crazy then what is? I guess getting a W910 would be.

hihihi in that time I didn't have the choice,the K850 was very expensive aka 700$ and the W910 was not supposed to be sold!
I got a used N95 for a nice price and if I sell it today I will only loose 20$ !!

I did the same thing...

Had the W850i firstly and it was a good solid phone, but then the N95 came out and I was seduced by it's feature set.

So I took out a new contract with T-Mobile to get the phone... then the reality hit me; poor battery life, software crashes, sluggish performance;

I also was not happy that Nokia had released the shit version of the phone in Europe, then 5 months later, release a new version with almost all the issues in the first sorted out;

So I decided to go back to SE and get the W910i, but at the moment the phone is a shambles; constant hanging, java and software bugs;

I'm STILL waiting for Sony Ericsson to sort out the firmware issues on both the W910i and K850i, which both use the A200 software platform.

I personally am in 2 minds whether to stick with the W910i in the hope that the firmware is sorted, or to get rid and get a N81 8GB or HTC Tytn II

My wife has the W910, and it's a nice phone. Not really comparable to the N95 - it's not a smartphone and lacks a long list of features like wifi, GPS, any pretence of being a "proper" camera etc - but at the same time it's a nicely designed phone which does music and all the basics well, and is very light and very slim (for a slider). The camera isn't so bad either - a simple 2mp affair, but it works and is capable of nice pictures - and the screen is very nice. Not having played with an "ordinary" (non-UIQ) SE phone for a while, I was impressed with the menus etc - all very pretty and easy to use.

Apart from the overall design, the standout thing for me has to be the battery life - I'd never expect it from such a small 3G phone, but it'll happily last a full week on a single charge. I can't see the N95 ever managing that! I only wish my Tytn II could..

The N95's battery is really a mess even after upgrading to V20,you can't use the brightness to 100% fearing to loose a couple of hours and with half what I was using with the K800 as average use the n95 battery last max 24h,the menu s*cks because you should also always close completely any game or soft before returning to the main menu or the battery will last 6 hours!
add to that the difficulty of making a ''nice'' theme with carbide without spending 1 week in front of your PC,the very high jpeg compression of the 5mp,the 16 millions colors LCD but that lacks life of a truebright LCD screen(SE phones),you can't decrease or increase the volume inside a game,thikness...

How about 9 months between releases not the 5 months you like to claim and it's called improving a product or does the M600 to P1 not count as the same thing.
Also in case you hadn't noticed the original N95 hasn't been abandoned re firmware upgrades either unlike all the original UIQ3 devices because the new model came out.

The original N95 has continued to get improvements via firmware and has recently got Demand Paging as found on the N95 8gb which has improved speed and battery life. It is also rumoured in the next firmware it will also get Flash Lite 3.0 just like the N95 8GB.

I didn't notice the P990, M600 or W950 getting any of the enhancements found in the P1 or W960 did they? no there support just stopped altogether as SE expected there customers to buy a new devcie instead. It's pretty obvious which set of users got good service and which set got screwed. Not of course forgetting the massive protest it took to get even one last firmware for just the P990 to fix two bugs introduced in what SE deemed to be the last needed firmware. But you are welcome to stick with SE if that's how you wish to be treated as a customer some of us how ever think differently.
