in the end i do believe it is up to the end user's own preference. best thing to do would be to try the music playback capabilities, before purchasing the set (if the shop allows you to). one man's radiohead might be another's crazy frog and vice versa.
and enough on the "ugly brick" already, hehe. i own another brick, though not as ugly in my eyes  . and my ipod isn't that bad sounding, is it? never tried an archos before, but still, ignorance is sometimes bliss  . | |

agreed, and good night, guys - although: crazy frog??? I'll have nightmares now that you mentioned it (in a sentence with "radiohead", quite the feat!

Yes,I was delighted by both of the phones,just in different ways.So maybe after all,I made some "out-from-the-box" experience sharing,I hope someone will find it helpful.

If you've invested in an Ipod G5 Video I'll suggest you don't try an Archos at least for one more year - as you said,ignorance is sometimes bliss
You don't know how right you are,a long time ago I started reading some audiophile threads,DIY electronics and etc.(though I am involved in electronics from years earlier)The result was thousands of pounds spent on players,headphones,cables,discs,amplifiers and God knows what...Maybe someday I'll feel these were badly spent money,but oh,God,Sarah McLachlan's voice is so much better and softer...
Sorry for going off topic guys.

About the W810 - it really sucks,a friend of mine has it,REALLY BAD,as well as the W850  .I want to say some good words about the W900i - as somebody pointed out,very good music reproduction,on par with the W950i.
Hey, You...!!! LOL!!! man...what is the sucks of W810? I have owned one and I can say that its SUPERB!!! You have "Walkman" and 2MP autofocus camera like K750, and the foto's very clear and sharpp..! what else?
What is the "REALLY BAD" of W810?
W810i Black with W800 back cover, modded camdriver, Own mix acoustic driver, Unbranded phone, Adding new flash menu's. W810i It's Rock...! |

nothing to do with the camera or etc.,just the sound quality.Its even proved - the guy who tested the W900i and measured 0.003 % THD did the test to the W810 also and it showed much more - 0.* % (I don't remember,but not 0.1,0.2 nor even 0.3)which is VERY much for any kind of reproduction.Despite this,I like it,its a good phone even now - great camera and great look.
And don't take my opinion as a common opinion(though anyone will say he don't like very much the sound of W810),I'm a bit more critic about sound,even the W810 should be made K760 IMO.
Keep cool,no bad feelings.
Cheers!
