And BTW I got myself a Philips SHE9800 as a birthday gift. Just bought it today evening.
Well for first words what can I say? It's simply awesome. Straight out of the box, it sounds better than anything I've heard till now. I'm just gonna let it burn in for a few hours and will post the detailed review later. I have great expectations for this thing. Lets just hope it will live upto its expectaions.

Yes, you're right when sceptical me. BTW... moreOh that was very informative for me... I tend to think the music quality of GM200 to be more natural and balanced. Compared to 5130XM, GM200 does lag a bit behind in terms of audio reproduction but like you've said, in 5130, the mid bass does sound a bit elctronic and a bit harsh. I am by no means an audiophile so 5130 may be better in terms of audio reproduction but a bit harsh for my liking.
So far, the audio department is something which I am very satisfied with. Not to mention the superb batter backup.
And the mp3 resume problem is related to a firmware glitch. Try to get it updated with the latest firmware. It should resolve the problem.

HI Nevin Joseph
Yes, you're right when sceptical me. BTW I have my opinion when say like that.
- Actual 5800 Speaker is Loud but it not Clear and when you hear artist's voice, will have some echo ( i meant that like you're hearing a 3D Sound with more effect ). So the all over, the sound is not REALLY. More effect meant Low Quality with Music, it only best when you view movies.
- Before I bought 5800 XM, i had used N82 and before N82 is 5700 XM. First I think Nseries will bring a good entertaiment ( Music/video/image etc.. ) but I wrong. N82 only powerful about Image with Flash Xenon, the Music is more of treble, no mid & bass anymore. So after 5800 released, I sell N82 to buy a 5800 XM because I like the Real Sound of 5700 XM, so I think 5800 XM will bring a new level of Speaker, but I'm Wrong AGAIN !. 5800 XM speaker better than N82, but WORSE than 5700 XM ( like i say on the top ).
- Talk about headphone, the 5800 XM is better than 5700 XM with a bit less of distort ( 5700 XM is bad headphone because alot of distort when use over 80% volume ). Bass of 5800 XM still like other Nokia product, may be good with other, but not powerful with me ( I mean deep Bass and Mid Bass - I don't know how to say that, sorry ).
- Before 5700 XM i had a good time with W800i and I love Sony's MEGABASS function. In Nokia, I don't get that feeling, the "BASS Booster" preset only simple keep high level of frequency "53 Hz" to get a little more bass, that's not enough.
But today, the Bass i got on GM200 is little bit more better than MEGABASS function of Sony. Why I say that ? because the deep bass very strong while the Mid Bass still REAL ( not like a electronic Bass ). Especially the treble and TWETTER very clearly. ( Sorry, my Englsh is not good enough to say more better like that ). And the diffirent between DOLBY MOBILE & LG preset very clearly.
So that's why I say that 5800 XM is worse than GM200.
But it not mean that 5800 is bad, all I said is about Music Quality. With me, GM200 will replace 5800 in Music, but 5800 XM is powerfull Mobile with S60 5th ( new firmware 40.0.003 bring more feature like N97 mini ), Good Camera, Good OS etc...
Thanks all. Especially Nevin, thank you about your comment. But I don't know how to check FW version. Can you help me ? My GM200, if you hearing music and get a Missed Call, the mp3 player is not auto resume.

Well i agree with you on almost every point except where you said 5130XM and 2700 classic is same in terms of audio output. They aren't the same actually. You can feel the difference. 2700 classic is by no means different than 6303 classic in terms of audio output.
5130XM is definitely in a different league when compared with 2700 classic in terms of audio quality(through headphones).

That is one good review you've posted here. Even I was a bit sceptical how it would match up with the big boys like 5800. There are probably phones with loudere speakers than GM200 but the woofer does have its advantage. It reproduces the bass and punch of the music track without overloading the stereo speakers. So the output audio is loud and bassy without distorting the speakers.
This is what I like most about my phone. And glad to see that you are staisfied with your purchase. We all would like to hear more from you.
Regards
Nevin

Thanks mate, after a few hours, i have decided to get a new one and have some notice about this phone :
- I am using 5800 XM and when compare the Loud Speaker quality, i see that GM200 is pretty good, sound clear, crystalize, powerful than my 5800 XM. I'm really surprise about GM200 Loud Speaker. And now, like i said before, GM200 can be now replace my mystice music phone 5700 Xpress Music. Thanks for all true comment here, and if you are fan of music phone, BUY IT, trusting me !! It better than W800i and 5700 XM ( i was used ).
- The Headphone is more excellent. When I use my Sony CFDA-H1, the sound very clear, Bass very perfect, powerful. Clearly than my 5800 Xpress Musc.
- The battery is 1100 mAh, I'm not test it yet but hope that it can keep about 4 days.
- And because I had already have a 5800 XM, so the JAVA app is not important with me, sorry because I don't have any java soft to test it.
- The big problem about this phone is only support 2Gb memory card. So when I try 4 Gb card, it can't read. I don't know why LG produce a Music phone but only support 2Gb card.
- The second is that The Music Player only accept MP3 files, when I use M4A files, the phone don't see it actual phone can play it by File Managers. Notice that you only can use DOLBY effect with Music Player and MP3 file.
- The Signal strength is Bad, than a Nokia phone. Some times phone show "Emergency Call Only" and Lost signal.
- The camera is good, better than my old 2700 Classic. In my 2700 Classic, when I captured a picture, it show a NRW ( Nokia Raw ) and took about 10 second to encode it to JPEG format. But with GM200, the phone capture it now with JPEG format and size is about 650Kbs ( my 5800 XM took about 750 Kbs ). The picture when see on computer is quite better than my 2700 Classic ( same 2.0 Mpixel ).
- Especially, I can connect to my 5800 XM to browse files !! That's a good idea ( but if you wanna play a music file, you need to wait it download to GM200 first ).
----------------------
CONL
Finaly, I feel so good with this phone and can say that "THIS IS THE BEST MUSIC PHONE I HAVE USED EVER". Trusting me, This GM200 very good than 5130 XM because the 5130 XM is same quality with 2700 Classic.
if someone say that :" 5130 XM is better than GM200" or "GM200 is bad" or something like that, I'm sure that they had not hand on this phone.
And don't forget that I'm crazy fan of Nokia phone which used included : 7650, Ngage Classic, 5700 XM, 5220 XM, 5310 XM, N82, N79, 5800 XM. So that all i said is TRUE.
Thanks all.

Anonymous, 21 Jan 2010Hi Nevin !
I had read all 60 pages of comment and have s... moreSpeakers of gm200 are pretty good and loud. Its a lot better than N73, N82 and 5800XM in terms of audio quality thru loudspeakers. Sorry dont know abt 5700XM.
But since you have been using smartphones that comes with a large memory expansion option you maybe disappointed with gm200. Maximum memory card that can be used is 2GB.

Hi Nevin !
I had read all 60 pages of comment and have some question about GM200. Please answer me because i wanna get a new one, but not sure about some func
- I like to hear music over Speaker, so Can you tell more about 2.1 ch Speaker of GM200. Can it compare to 5700 because i had used 5700 for along time and see that 5700 have the best speaker still now ( now i'm using 5800 and can't compare with 5700, 5800 loser ).
Please Tell more about GM200's Sub-Woofer in action.
- How about music over original phone included with phone ? I'm using 5800, but not acceptable with it, the sound from it not clearly, crystall etc....
- How about Battery life if only in waiting for call ? don't use other func included music/radio/text message....
- My town still don't have LG service center, so I wanna buy a phone with newest firmware, but I don't know the newest version of GM200 ? Do you know that ?
- And finally, How about compare with other device ( out speaker ) you're using ? Can you list it because may be one of it i had used. I had used 5700 XM / N82 / N79 / 5800 XM.

renjyth, 18 Jan 2010GM200 supports only 3gp and MPEG4 formats not mp4Well mpeg4 is actually the codec that is used to compress the video and mp4 is the container format. GM200 supports both 3gp as well as mp4 formats. The codecs supported are h.263 (3gp) and mpeg4 codec as well as xvid codec for mp4. The audio stream being LC-AAC.
