This is a very tough decision for me and I'd like some help..

My Criteria for the perfect phone for myself would be the following:

Good audio quality to headphones for music
fast UI
stability
good quality screen
loud/crisp ringer
good voice and speaker quality for calls
lots of storage space for MP3's

Now some questions.. does the K770 support Memory Stick Pro Duo? and what is the memory limit with the K770.

I've heard that the audio quality on the W910 isn't so great.. but can be fine tuned.. (2 volume notches from the max works best) - can i change the volume settings for all audio output?

and does the W580 has keypad issues? (cracking, falling off etc).

Thanks for having me.

i say w910i is not good in both cam and audio departments
the loud speaker and call ear speaker is not loud enough so just avoid it. but + is bigger screen and slim. importantly buggy firmware.

w580i has keypad cracking issues and build quality issue but the sound quality and display quality is very good. crappy camera.

k770i has small screen 1.9".display is not bright as w580i. good camera.
keypad is great to use.slim design.no build issues.

why don't use consider c510i it has good 2.2" screen nice camera good build..nice sound quality.photo flash. and finally cheap.
so decide urslf.

The memory card limit is currently16GB.
Comes with a 1GB M2 card.

And no, all SE phones use Micro M2 cards.

Well, most SE phones have a theoretical memory limit of 32GB. Only 16Gb cards are manufactured at the moment.

The C510 comes with 1GB, AFAIK.

The three phones you are considering are all a bit old. Over a year and getting closer to two years old! In my opinion the C510 is worth considering because it is the latest model and therefore will still be receiving support from SE.

In regard to the W910i and W580i quality issues, they have mostly been fixed up in the later models. Get a late manufacturing date and you're sweet. Oh and K770i build quality isn't that great. The back cover moves and it feels hollow and fragile. But still I say go for a C510.

Seeing as you're mostly after audio quality, maybe a Nokia XM phone would be a good choice? (5220, in example)

*EDIT* If you're only interested in SE, don't go for the W910 or W580. Sadly, I have no idea what SE I could recommend

Ok i have a Future Black c510. Build quality great screen very crisp clear camera great outdoors not so great indoors but play about with the settings and have a steady hand its ok. Has great audio but rubbish headphones better off buying another pair i use my old K800i headphones on my c510 and music sounds great. Has HSDPA which K770 does not DO NOT go for w910 imo its one of the worst phones SE ever made. Sound was weedy as is everything else. K770 is a good choice and a bargain price now. But c510 is best choice right now and its pretty well stable too. Call quality is good though sometimes slightly muffled.

I agree. Go for the c510.
But if you have to choose between those phones you mentioned, go for the w910i. The design is really good and sexy. It's also very slim. It's actually stable right now because the latest releases have fixed the bugs about the restarting and the hanging so don't worry! It also has a nice big screen and has auto-rotation. The w910i has even won an award for being the best phone. It's more of a music phone really. The sound quality is quite good if compared to those three. Especially the earphones. It's also in the series 9+ which I think is good. The only thing that's not good about this phone is it only has a 2.0 mp camera, but still takes quite good pictures at daylight. If you want to snap pictures with your phone a lot, this phone is not for you.

I don't know how much you plan to invest in a phone. These models are over a year old now so I would advise you choose newer models.
