That comparison is not fair at all.
W960 should have won "Sales package, accessories" as it comes with a much better headset as well as MMC-70 music cable. It should also have won "Materials, build quality" and "Design", as it's better built and looks a lot better than N81.
I can't comment on "Battery time (for music)", but I know that the W960 FM radio is without doubt the best of the two, so it should have won "Radio" as well. Both phones support "Internet radio", so I don't know why they've both received minuses there.
With regards to the last two, music quality and loud speaker, I can't comment much. I know that W960 performs quite well. But even if we say that N81 performs better, that gives us
W960: 8 points
N81 8GB: 7 points

Well, the audio quality is the most important thing here and N81 takes it easily.
I'm disappointed =/ |

My primary phone is a W960, and I'm not dissatisfied with its sound quality.

W960's chip set does also feature an audio chip.

same as with N91 vs W950
the latter loses in music quality and that as a music centric device is LAME
i have listened to both N81 and w960 with ultimate ears super fi 3 and N81 wins...hands down
i've also compared them with the N91
no question
the N91 is the benchmark when it comes to pure audio quality among mobile phones  :X:X
bottom line...its a SHAME to lose the audio quality test 
this is the most important for audiophiles like me...more important than the battery life ...
se gotta learn from nokia and use some audio chip to enhance audio
at least on their high end music centric devices
There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed.

Whatever man. N81 won fair and square regardless of what you say. Just because you're not dis-satisfied doesnt do W960 any favor what so ever. So the comparison is fair.

How on earth can you say the comparison is fair when it isn't?? In my first post, I stated the things that were wrong.

SE lost the plot last year
and haven't recovered.
2006 was when the
edge they had on Nokia
started slipping and now
Nokia is just cruising. If
they (SE) are going to
compete and match, let
alone beat, Nokia they
need to do it this year
with their next releases,
and I mean from Paris
onwards. Walkman
phones should be the
leaders in music terms
yet they are not, even
the iphone trounces
them. Hell, the iphone
trounces any phone for
that matter. For
Samsung to even sound
better than SE is a
disgrace indeed. Oh,
how the mighty have
fallen.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |

IMO I think its a fair comparision and one should accept it. But mobile review has cleary shown quiet a few times (our sympathy with n96) its bias to nokia. So se fans should not take it hard. |

Forget whatever you said. In terms of music quality N81 simply murders the W960 and thats all that matters, thats ALL THAT matters in a music centric device.
W960 is seriously screwed up interms of sound quality(i've tested it). I dont know what your standards are when it comes to audio output.

I'm sure you have... not.
Regarding to standards, my standard is higher than what you're used to.

you like the W960's sound quality. That says a lot about your standards, if you even have any. Anyway, this argument is pointless and we all know to what extent you'll go to prove your lust for SE. |
