both nokia and se have good and bad points
by saying that one brand is better than the othe is just biast because unless you have used every phone that they have released you cannot say this
its like some people say that the iphone is rubbish but there is no better handset for browsing the internet on
im sorry but people need to grow up

    @Rakib
    There is no such big diff from 256k and 16mil colour, nokia put 16mil colour just to make their phone better and high price. But it cost at battery life.
    And this award proff that 256k can win againts 16m.
    And about sound quality, dont u see the diff betwen loud and quality sound?? Nokia just loud but quality just inferior againts SE.
    The judge knows better than a loser like u.
    LOL...

        I have both the Nokia 6500 Slide and SE W910i. Needless to say, the 6500 overpowers the W910 almost everywhere: speed, UI, flexibility, keypad, camera, construction quality and websurfing. The W910 wins only in design and display (2.4" vs. 2.2").

          @asad, you sound like a sad man.
          You call w910 a walkman fon with that low quality sound and low volume.Take the 5310 xm with the given hadset on the package and take the w910 with the walkman hadset then compare theire sound quality and volume, you will see my point.Look it does not matter how much you cry out loud,how much you bash NOKIA and there good 16 million colour screen the fact is that w910 does not even deserve to be call a walkman music phone.W910 sounds like a wimp.
          Get the fact,stop being sound like looser,stop being a fan of midiocracy .
          256 k screen su**s a big time in front of a 16 million.

                  maybe they should have named it K910i or T910i cause as a music phone it sucks, the volume is too low when using headphones and the walkman software lags. how can it be the best handset when its main selling point as a music phone, it fails! my 6230i with ad-15 connector with decent headphones sounds louder and almost the same quality, i dont care if the w910i has better sound quality on headphones cause you cant even hear it, lol!

                    Let's do some constructive debate on this issue. Yes, I'm one of those who think the SE W910 does NOT deserve the Best Phone award.

                    Problems with W910:
                    - no camera flash
                    - only 2 mp camera
                    - design not for people over 25 yrs

                    Features of similarly priced Nokia-Symbian phones:
                    - usually 3.2 mp camera WITH autofocus AND flash (sometimes dual-LED flash)
                    - Brilliant display usually 2.4"+ with great legibility under direct sunlight (W910 has it too)
                    - Simple many-times-proven user interface
                    - Highly customizable UI and flexible system due to Symbian OS (and not SE OS like in W910)
                    - Feature-rich, high construction quality
                    - Walkman-grade music players

                    Examples: N73, N80, N81, 6500 Slide, 5610 etc etc

                    I have personally used W910 and 6500 Slide.

                    Some SE phones are also better than W910 in the same price range: K850, P1i etc

                    I think it is a wrong idea calling the W910 'the Best Phone'. It's definitely very good, but NOT THE BEST!

                      I completely disagree with you Dani. Nokia is well known for its slow-performance mobiles but you get much more functions. As for SE , the performance is fast but functions are limited. Like only few mobiles of SE have gps .... or not even? I mean ... My car has a big 9" touch screen right? Its not like i wanna freaking type the address with a stupid keypad while your in a hurry. God. Think over again. Who the hell would need a personal GPS unless you could fly. Want to search someones address ? Use google.

                        ok...heres a question to ask yourselves..

                        does sony ericsson w910i look good? DOES IT?

                        i bet ya when that phone was first introduced on GSM...nokia/samsung/LG/whatever brand fans were all staring at this phone and amazed.
                        who needs the N95...in terms of ergonomics the W910i is far better than it. why carry a brick when you can carry a feather?
                        you all have to admit...there are some functions and features on the N95 that you probably never used before...and never will. why? because theres no need for it.

                        like what the judges said...W910i is 'simple'. this is what us consumers are wanting - simple, user friendly phones that look good and perform well.

                              @ Dani -

                              dani u patetic kiddo f***er did u have any idea what i last said read it again i guess u have a bad knowledge in english ...

                              " ur saying that w 910 is fast yep it must be cuz compared to nokia it got very very low options that is a few years ago but wait a second now that nokia even got faster performance and faster responding time handsets even without dropping the wide range of options that s.e. doesn't have ... take a look at the nokia 5700 , nokia 5610 , nokia 6500 slider , nokia 6500 classic , nokia n81 , nokia 6110 nav etc. those handsets are really good on there prizes and offers well balanced options with speed performance big amount of applications and smart and kool designs plus 2 mp and 3.2 mp or higher cameras with either flasher or dual led flash and the music capabilities and options those phones offers are the best and they aint even comes under high over prized prize tags ... take a good look at those phones that im comparing to the s.e. w 910 ... im not comparing the nokia n 95 i know those phones aint a match cuz n 95 is far ahead in everything so as the newly released n 96 ... and then again lets talk about s.e. walkman w850 , w580 , w888 , s500 , w960 , k810 , k850 ,w890 those judges must use those phones i have mentioned cuz definitely they would have given the award to one of those s.e. or nokia phones and w910 is nothing compared to those phones and there prizes ... its the biggest shame of the mobile world ... the shame of giving an award to an unbalanced phone saying its a balanced product for the customers ... :-) "

                              is mom and dad home dani ? lol ... :-))

                                      16 million is not a big deal because i already saw the display of 5700 and N95 both have 16 million but guys both phones display sucks.......... sucks alot even SE W810 which has 256k colors beat nokia 5700 so m quite satisfied with 256k of SE
                                      n when SE will launch thier 16 million so dat phone's display shoiuld like Bravia

                                      so shut ur mouth off

                                      n peace
