Id suggest looking at the 5320-XM or NOKIA N78, both will be much better than the cute lil W910. 5320-XM and N78 have the latest Symbian S60v3.2 OS9.3 with Menu Transitions and Animations PLUS the 5320xm uses a new audio technology. 5320xm also has Ngage with Ngage Gaming keys, dedicated Music keys, 3.5mm jack as well as 369mhz CPU making it fast enough to keep up with the little W910.  5320xm should be released VERY soon, at a lower price than W910.
Its a shame the last guy chose a W910, missing out on a lot of new softwares being added to S60.

Hi,
I am looking for a phone in the range of 12 to 14 K, also am looking for more in music than camera. Also need a light weight phone. somthing that is not bulky. My cell phone has conked off so need a phone immediately. Used a W810i previously so need something that has better music than W810i.
Also what is the price range on N98 and is the music quality better than W810i, N73 / W910 ?
Please tell me, thanks. |

Hi Kabayan, a black W910 suits you well. You mentioned that you want better performance and overall speed in using and navigating menus etc. W910 simply kicks in when it comes to this aspect.
not even a 5700 would beat W910 performance wise. why? assuming that 5700 would utilize menu transitions to the same level as with W910(i mean everything that W910 has will be incorporated in 5700) don't we think this thing would overkill the highly-praised fast UI of the 5700 and the rest of all the Symbian phones utilizing 369Mhz+ Cpus. and yes N73ME tends to lag in some of the times(i have a friend that uses N73ME btw) and it's annoying that whenever you access the messaging program you'll be waiting for a couple of second or more just to open messages in contrast to W910 which instantly opens up. not to mention that the phone crashes Java programs or the phone lags whenever you are using messaging, web browser and music player at the same time.

You can't compare the performance of a W910i with a symbian 9.2 and a more powerful processor (arm11 at 369Mhz) and dsp( StarCore SCe 140 at 250Mhz) like of the Nokia 5700 for not talk of the type of applications that can be used in this platform. For example the web browser o f W910i it is so weak compared whit the open OSS browser of this and other models s60 of the same edition, some with full navigation with Flash Lite 3 for the web flash videos. The sound of 5700 it surpasses completely the sound of W910i as much with the headphones ones as with speakers. |

Yep like said above. The N81 got Menu Effects and Transitions in its latest firmware, yet its also running on the Freescale 369mhz ARM11 CPU. I can assure you its STILL a fast device, even with over 7applications running and Transitions turned on its still very quick and stable, the 369mhz CPU can most definetly handle all the work.
Why take a W890 over N78? When N78 is clearly the better device, and knowing NOKIA it will be regularly getting FW updates that even add extra features like what NOKIA has done with N81, N82, N95 and N95-8GB, ALL those now have FlashLite3.0 so they support Desktop YouTube and stream it very well , WRT Widgets support, added FP2 OS9.3 Effects to the FP1 OS9.2 N81 on top of this update, added more RAM to the N95 on top of the same update, On-Demand Paging (increased battery life with it), and other features in Stand By and some other places, i think the N78 would be the safer bet over the W890 by far

w910 is still quite expensive..... so why dont buy a C902. (same sound as w910), then you get good camera + good sound

yes you can compare the performance. The s60 has better multi-tasking, but in sheer performance terms (speed, ui efficiency etc) of course you can compare a s60 against a non-smartphone like the w910. Infact due to there simplicity non-smartphones are often far more responsive than their smartphone brothers.
If someone will never install an s60 application - then there is virtually no advantage of s60 over A200 (w910 runs A200 UI).
The W910 is a fast, responsive handset with an efficiently designed UI.
Regarding web access, true the W910 built in browser is not as good as the N73 browser, however the Opera Mini j2me browser is better than both the N73 AND w910 native browsers.
Also the advantage of using the free opera mini on the W910, you can minimise the browser to use the phone, something you can't do with the native browser.
So for someone who only wants good web browser, good music, fast UI, excellent call and sms ergonomics, in a neat, reliable package, the W910 is the answer.

Lol im using Opera Mini right now on my N81 because im trying to save the last bit of my data bundle until next week, otherwise the S60 Web Browser is far better, it can be minimized, it supports Flash8 content, it doesn't give errors all the time etc. . . . Between a W910 and N73 i wouldn't either i'd try get a 5700, i450 or if your budget is big enough go for N81 or N78.

I don't agree, however on the N73 you could use opera mobile, which supports tabbed browsing (well the WM version of Opera Mobile supports tabbed browsing - not sure about the s60 version).
If Opera Mini also supported tabbed browsing it would be a clear winner.
As it is, Opera Mini and the N73 native browser are just as useful as eachother.
You have to take some time to get used to the shortcuts though to get the best out of it.

You can minimise Opera Mini on W910 (you can run multiple java apps as well as task switch between them and minimise). I don't know about errors, I don't get any myself and I use Opera Mini a fair bit.
You are right about flash support, this is a disappointment but for youtube if you visit youtube with your W910 you will get the mobile version. I just tried it and all the videos I have uploaded play fine, it seems the mobile version provides access to the same videos as the full version.
G705 has full youtube support native (including uploads):

I own a K850 as well so i know exactly what the W910 is capable of, running Music Player, Opera Mini, and an IM app all at once can bring these javas to a slow crawl, doing the same on a 5700 or N81 doesnt slow them down, at this very moment im running OperaMini3 here at Esato, the S60 Web browser at a wapsite not use too much data, Music Player and MXit IM app, and my N81 is still fast doing the same on a SE Java can slow it down. The errors im talking about are the ones given by the Netfront built-in web browser in the SEs.
YouTube Mobile gives horrible quality though, i was using it a few days ago before my k850 got the BROD.

Well I can only speak from my experience with the W910 (I haven't used K850 extensively) but I can use opera mini, listening to music via the kdplayer, while browsing my phone with mini commander or moby explorer.
True youtube mobile gives poor quality.
But I do find the W910 less stable than the K800 but only when using the media player alongside java. Occasionally the media player crashes when java apps are in use taking out the java platform as well. Actually if anything is dodgy on the A200 platform it's the Media Player which needs a lot of work imho to be more efficient.
I find using kd player instead of the media player results in no latency and is more stable. So like a smartphone, We don't have to rely on the inbuilt apps if third parties offer better solutions.
Videos and Photos are best viewed via the file manager. The photo slide show is the only real use I have for the SE Media Player (only because I haven't found a j2me solution yet that I like)

Yes thats exactly what im saying, Media Manager/Player is the problem, i love using my K850, but the moment i turned on Media Player all slows down. Would you be able to give me a link to download KD Player English version?
