YES, it is the Truth :))

Compare the N95 8MB with the SE K850i - it is very smart thing to do :))))

Compare a Porsche to a Toyota :) (pricewise)

N95 cost almost twice - and what a surprise - SE won :)

and the bla.. bla .. bla about there are bette phones than Se but Se is still the best -- just funny -- is it prozac or paxil?

    All im Doing is telling people the TRUTH

    i mean forum members like 'msTL' is talking BAD about SE , everything he says is FALSE

    i dont Belive 'msTL'

    Yes i agree theres better phones then SE....so what?

    i Like SE, i know everything about them i prefer SE over any other Manufacturer..

    the truth is this..
    SE does make the BEST Music phones and Camera Phones.

    if you lot cant agree, then go buy something else.

    iv tested like loads of Phones..just yesterday i put K850i up against N95 8GB.
    winner was K850i OVERALL.
    besides its lack of features..N95 8GB has alot of drawbacks..

    anyway W890i is a SLIM PHONE...even 5310 has TINNY SOUND ..
    the Bigger the phone the Bigger the speaker the Louder the Sound..
    W890i has the Best sound quality though, same with all SE's ..!!!

          Dani you should compare this phone to the N81, then you will see that the sound quality is not as good. Don't get me wrong, it's a good phone and the sound quality IS good, just not as good as the N81.

          But the camera on this is way way WAY better

            Half of you people in here. dont even know what 'Sound Quality' is!!!

            Sound Quality is the Sound Reproduction thats reproduced by the Phone..

            a Loud phone doesnt mean it has Good Sound Qualuty becuase IT DOESNT
            if it has Distortion..then its BAD SOUND QUALITY

            W890i has GOOD Sound Quality, it might not be Loud but then its a SLIM PHONE!! so is the W910i!! ..both slim phones..it doesnt have a 21 inch speaker on it .NO! small speaker since its a Slim Phone with HIGH QUALITY SOUND!!!

            all Sony Ericsson's have HIGH QUALITY SOUND. W890i does..and all of them do..even Cyber-Shot range do..!!
            Sony are well known for their High Quality Sound..

              Yes, SE sound quality is fantastic for people who think Se makes the best earphones.

              Or the W890 just get used to the stored numbers and after some time it speeds up by itself :))))

              WE are so lucky here!

              There are IT engineers and Sound Engineers here - sometimes in one person :) giving excellent definitions. :)))

              But, for the rest of us who actually took seriously our physics class at age 12 - SE sound quality suxs!

              Not because of the volume!!!! (Next time use at least the fundamental terms:)

              and not just because of distortion but because it sound really really bad!!!
              :) I guess that is not to scientific for the SE fans!

              Because even a lousy MP players sounds better - because some of us know how the original music suppose to sound.

              Expectations are not too high - but if Se tries to sell a phone for 500 USD initially we would like to know what that phone is good for:
              W890 is good for nothing except making a call
              for people who has extra small hand. It has lousy battery,
              weak ringtone,
              weak speakers
              small screen
              no autofocus
              no flash
              limited memory

              Price is dropping, sales are slow.

              This phone is for rich, spoiled kids.

                        SE spends millions to push an image of high quality sound - walkman image but the actual performance is lousy!
                        SE phones are the least reliable phones among the most popular phones.
                        They break down often (many of them) while others kepp working without any problems.

                          Dani, 14 Jun 2008Nokia is the one with the WORST sound Quality and one with... moreSonyEricsson does not have best sound just cos it has Walkman badge. I owned a W910 and it had the most dreadful tinny sound i have ever heard. I work for hi fi shop and i know good quality hi fi and quality brands and sounds. And when it comes to sound with headphones or players SonyEricsson have gone off the boil. Nokia on the other hand have improved with some of their mid to high end phones producing outstanding sound. And please tell me your not somebody who thinks good sound is just bass cos its not its all about balance of clarity with good mix of bass midrange and treble. Trust me i know. If you think SE is best your seriously deaf.

                            W890 is known to have poor sound quality - SE does not claim high sound quality and that is the reason NON of the in-depth review goes into objective sound quality measurements.
                            (unlike with other and better phones)

                              A really good earphones are over 200USD - SE certainly do not provide that quality - only a not educated or a fanatic can claim that SE provides the best possible earphones :)))

                                SE DOESNT need to 'improve' their sound, its the BEST you can get. and so are the Walkman earphones even with the Adaptor!!

                                  i agree features do not matter on a music phone but you've totally dug yourself a hole

                                  okay the sound quality on walkmans is considerably worse, they do not put an effort in to make the sound any better

                                  you get a decent pair of headphones but the those pair of headphones you bought from amazon you cannto plug in without a 45metre wire adapter.

                                  crap.

                                    I can't believe you guys even TRY to compare SE with Nokia- that's just absurd! I mean..
                                    SE has alot more features, better and more artificial appearances, and works SO much faster than ANY Nokia phone...I've had about 7 Nokia's in my life- but not one seem to work so amazing like this SE W890i...i would really recommend this phone, i love it - and wouldn't wish to have another phone!
                                    For all you NOkia fans - i'm glad your satisfied with less than you can get by SE,

                                      Nokia XpressMusic phones come with Sh*t earphones. and Nokia xpects people to buy there own earphones and plug them in LOL! Daft that is really..and since Nokia has crap Sound Quality they hire 'Samsung or Toshiba' for Sound Chips LOL! thats sad to..poor Nokia

                                      iPods are better then XpressMusic though, iPods atleast come with BETTER Software then XpressMusic and better Earphones..thats a start!!

                                      SE Walkman's come with as Good Software as iPods at Par with iPods but better, and they come Walkmans come with BETTER Earphones to. and have BETTER Battery Life..and since SONY are the masters of Sound Quality, they can get good sound quality even from a Slim Phone like W890i !!
