Verdict

W910i is just an ordinary mobile phone

N81 also possesses powerful a powerful gaming component, it fully supports the new N-Gage gaming technology, includes a larger memory card in the sales package, and offers a full Wi-Fi support

Sony Ericsson W910i, upon a second glance at the price label, is quite a disputable offering,

W910i just has a thinner body and there’s nothing more on the advantage list

The Nokia solution covers a larger audience and thus is more successful and profitable for its creators

The market success of Nokia N81 is also owed to a lower price which is the most vital criteria for the consumer majority, and the difference from W910i is quite great – obviously, to the better side. A serious rival quite capable of challenging the both will be officially announced soon - Samsung F330. Look forward to the upcoming review devoted to the Korean novelty.

Sony Ericsson W910i, upon a second glance at the price label, is quite a disputable offering,

It clearly needs a 3.5 mm jack, some dedicated player controls and a higher sound volume

Besides this, the shake control and SenseMe features look interesting but don’t help the cause much,

Looking outside the music sphere, the device has a rather plain set of features. A 2 mpx camera without autofocusing looks archaic placed in a model from the top price range, the M2 expansion slot isn’t as practical as you’d wish even considering the bundled card reader

W910i is jack of all trades but master of none

it wasnt a fair comparison

N81 is a game Phone
W910i is music phone

different segmentation = different spec.

the review states even though N81 is not a music phone it outshines the W910i in sound quality

And also the price of w910i is high compared to N81 mem card edition
as reviewer states

And tries to say that

N81 is best bang for buck and w910i is a ordinary phone which is highly overpriced

At this rate, any review that butchers SE is great IMHO. These reviewers are just disappointed as I am. Only difference is, the chances are much higher that SE listens to someone with a more authoritative figure than myself. Well done. In your face SE.

Hi all,

I have to agree with Mode, i would also have to say if so called Nokia Fan Boy's, SE fans and now even reviewers are all starting to say the same thing.

Which is that SE are lacking in new and innovate devices and what they are offering is expensive for what it is surely they can't all be wrong. Only the truly loyal and fanatical SE supporters are left claiming all is well and it looks like they are a shrinking minority. These next set of SE announcements and what they deliver really needs to step up a gear or two or 2008 could end up being a very bad Year for SE and ultimately us to.

Marc

500 euros for a W910? You have to be insane to even consider that.

But gola, if you read the review, you'd have seen that even the translator thinks its a load of crap. Here's an excerpt:

The birthday field found with every contact in your phonebook is synchronized with the PIM so you won’t miss your grandma’s birthday – you will be warned beforehand so you get a good chance of coming in time and with a gorgeous present. (Please don’t think I’m so keen on grannies – you see, the guy who writes the original Russian articles is fond of ugly language stamps and awkward phrases, and this grandmother business mentioned every time when it comes to the PIM and the calendar has gotten on my nerves just as much as on yours, - you are sure to have read the same rubbish in the reviews for several times before, so please be prepared for seeing the same hackneyed grandmother tale for a thousand more times, sorry messieurs and mesdames - I can’t be bothered with rewriting articles from scratch since in essence I’m a translator and not a journalist, and besides I want you all to witness the fact that being a huge cell phone expert doesn’t mean having a huge talent in the way of belles-lettres; I’m sick and tired of wading through miles of poorly composed Russian text trying to give to all this rant a more or less human face before rendering it into English, maybe some day they’ll hire a professional journalist to help our hardware experts out since the experts’ native Russian sucks up to the point where the very crappy essence of its lameness manages to make it even into the English translations no matter how hard I’m trying to filter stuff, be it known to you that you were all overly blessed by not being able to read the original Russian texts which feel like a mixture of cheap trailer trash phrases and cold war rhetoric, mind the hammer btw lolz - Neurotically yours, the translator guy)


(Italics, bold emphasis mine)
