there have been a big mistake i dont think many people have even brought this device cuz of its high prize ... even in the gsm arena review they have shown really important weak points about the w910 ... like

* Comes at an overpriced price tag
* Wobbly slider
* 2 MP camera with neither autofocus, nor flash
* Only 40 MB internal memory
* Video recording in QVGA resolution at 15fps
* Irrelevant gaming/photo keys
* No skins for the Walkman player

these are really weak points of this phone compared to all the other s.e. walkman phones ... lets say maybe the people who gave this award to this phone are s.e. addicted but didnt they have any other phone to choose by s.e. cuz there are many which is far more better than this ... i really dont like this phones prize range its too over prized ... i would go for the old w850 than this one its far more better ... :-(

blame me if im wrong but in my ideas this phone does not deserve this award but its a good phone after all only it being over prized makes me mad ... any s.e. fan knows inside u that this phone is not the one for this award to be given ... this is a very bad decision ... i dont agree and most of the true s.e. fans don't agree either ... i hope they look back and correct the mistake ... this is a really really weak decision even a child would have choosed a better phone than this ... i completely disagree as a s.e. fan ... i hope the people who gave this award to this kind of phone can come to the front to the s.e. fans and everyone and speakup so that everyone can ask em why they gave this award to the w910 ignoring so many weak points in it saying that its a well balanced phone even though it aint balanced in its prize either ... cuz many people even skip buying this phone cuz of its unmatched prize ... :-(

and by the way i also have a w960 so dont think im not into s.e. ... please blame me for saying the truth if u wanna cuz the truth is something some people wont stand sorry if i hurt u w910 fans but i like its design it got great looks but that is not enough ... :-(

very very bad and an incorrect winning decision for the people around the world ... i hope anyone who gave this award to this phone can hear me ... please give the chance for the fans to choose the right phone ... give the fans the chance and then take the decision about which phone will get the award that is the correct way not this ...

as a s.e. fan im ashamed and it looks like the judges have completely forgot about all the other brands and phone models which got the best prizes and the best options than the w 910 ... i don't think they even have used any of those phones one by one ... :-(

    i think selecting w910 is a biased decision. its becasuse LG Viewty is more advance from all point of view comparing to w910. its shame for the review commety.

        It is surprising that Nokia E51, was not shortlisted. Infact, it is much better phone that SE W910. In addition to all features SE W910 has, it has Wi-Fi and infrared and also is priced aggressively. On the other hand, SE has just a better talk-time and is more expensive. This is the best phone which matches business with fun. Wake-up judges!

          Had 2 pick between my current handset (k850i) and the W910i when I bourght it. I made the right desision. Why was Se K850i not included?

          Have to say though, I love the W910i and the Veiwty. But 3 Skypephone. Yeah, it does have some great features, but it cant really match up to the others can it? Have too say it is a nice phone though!

          However, I can't use Nokia's, my dad has one, and I think it's realy difficult to use, even though it and the veiwty are the nicest looking handsets.

          Now I am an SE user, I can't go back. Glad the SE got the award!

                let's face it, guys..the only thing(s) lacking in S.E.W910i is 3 Mega Pixel, autofocus,flash and portrait mirror(not really important). aside these, i can authoritatively say..as i am sure y'all will agree...W910 IS THE BEST HANDSET OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!.is it the design?the slimness?the big screen?the interface?WHAT?we beat them Nokia wotever-gig-they-can-cum-up-wit..SONY ERICSSON W910 RULES....YA HEARD????!!!!!!

                  When the W910 was first launched, I thought it looked fantastic, exciting, great styling and quite versatile. But the keypad is imperfect, the camera nothing on my K800i (deserved 2006 award winner!) and the GUI is inconsistent, as SE try to move their phones over to a combined PSP/PS3 standard interface. Something that just does not work on small devices as you can no longer short cut as quickly. There are far more innovative phones out there that do more or do it better. The iPhone is light years ahead of anything from a usability and build quality angle, the LG Viewty is fun, has a great GUI, and versatile/fun video/photo features. The Nokia 6500 Slide and N95 offer far better video recording (and GPS on the N95) - and there are various innovative Samsung models too. Although I use and like SE, and the W910 is not bad, the fact it won makes me think this award is dubious - possibly influenced by someone, somehow!

                      Something is probably up with SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service)


                      New firmware is coming for w910, k850i and the likes ^_^

                      I'm excited already...

                            If you are from O2 you'll get the various phone magazines that are sent out, in those recently there have been articles about the rise of data usage, and MMS use is on the rise in the UK.

                            I find it odd that the W910i was awarded this, it's not the best phone out there. I can understand why the iPhone didn't get it, as with a few other models.
                            It's not all about the camera too, it's the overall package, from a usual buyers point of view, the N81 and W910i have the same features (when bundled with 8GB M2) but the W910i is smaller, so seen as a better buy. Very few people understand what S60 is, so it's not really a selling point in a the big picture.

                              Come on people, wake up. Comment on W910s award, dont just make a war between nokia and se.
                              But i cant understand why w910 was given an award. The W960 and N81 8GB are way ahead of this phone. W910 has a bad slider and bad camera, the n81 also sounds as good as w910, in n81, u get Ngage gaming, faster internet and better cam. The W960 & N95 8Gb are top class phones which should have been judged as best. Let me think what w910 has that no other phone has.
                              The answer is- 'nothing'

                                    how ridiculous can be that this phone in walkman categories of SE win the handset of the year but dont have an audio jack, just so stupid and ridiculous, and this Xperia come on dont forget the nokia n810 only that its not a phone

                                      N81 or N82 ?

                                      first of all there Music Software is boring and second of all Battery life is not up standards with even 2 year old Walkmaman phones such as W810i/W850i

                                      they might have top notch sound quality(First for all Nokias) but do they come with Good Earphones like Walkman phones?

                                      NO!

                                      this is why Walkman phones are best at Music.....

                                        you have obviously never used the n81 or n82
                                        the sound and volume is pefect
