The only thing that N91 has more than w950 is the 2mp camera. However, nokia doent have the same experience that SE has in mp3players. Nokia now releases the new black N91 because of the many problems that N91 have. Also, n91 is the uglier phone in the market. It is just an average phone with mp3 player. However w950 it is not a great walkman but an mp4 player too.

      taratula you bring paper facts BUT not totally realitic facts.
      the SE smartphones ARE STILL bugged yes p990, m600 still slow and crash! actually the p990 its the most buggiest smartphone on earth even the n80 have less bugs! v4 its quite stable, and S60 ITS FASTER than the p990 and any other SE smartphone
      the nokia n91 LIKE THE IPOD have a shaking protection, never the music will stop for a second then resume NEVER.
      NAND its future, yes, but i didn't point that out i did point out that the n91 its getting 8GB FIRST, and even with NAND w950 battery life its almost the same the n91 and with the use of the touchscreen even less than the n91 in music playback.
      OH and EDGE its not the best, look at the n93 EDGE CLASS 32, DTM.
      EDGE its going slowing but its more widely support than 3g
      and either way the n91 have EDGE TOO

        Dear,
        Tarantula and alvin,
        My friends owned w950,thats why i got a chance to play with this n91 compatitor. I m surprised ,i thought may be w950 will be close to n91 sound quality, but i was completely wrong i can safely say that really n91 have a greatest sound quality, which is not comparable with w950. I m not saying w950 is a bad music quality,but it is not in comparision at all. In other aspect means camera,edge ,wifi,shiny stainless steel body its better than w950. So friends stop blemming and comparing to n91. Everybody knows very well n91 is unbeatable. N 91 RULZZZZZZZZ ONCE AGAIN.

            P$bj most people don't have 3G available, especially in certain areas like the US and etc, sadly of course. So we really don't have much of a choice but to complaign about the lack of feature. Quite a few phones to day are coming out with support for all network types atleast too, like the HTC TYTN.

              I dont sure about the speed of the data transmission between the ugly brick (N91) and W950, i have not the chance to compare them side by side, but W950 support USB 2.0, it means... you know!

              About 3.5mm jack: SE W950 uses the adapter and N91 has it built in, but even with the adapter W950 is small and light than the PIG.

              EDGE... who cares about EDGE, EDGE is an old tech, now is 3g or HSDPA!!

              3G, W950 comes with it

              When you shake the W950 the song that you heard non stop like in your pig, another point in favor of flash memory, as you see recently the HD is in extinction way and it will replaced by the more efficient, faster and reliable NAND tech, you can see it in the latest laptops of samsung and toshiba.

              Hey man, with the 2,6 screen W950 has more life time than the brick/weapon, you can read the reviews, i am not say this... in M-R you have the life time of both phones, it was tested in M-R, i dont say this like you.

              1 hour of wifi and the phone dream, i still preffer the laptop for this.

              UiQ was slower in P990, with the latest firmware this problem is fixed, in M600 and W950 it isnt true!
              At least in SE fix the OS issues, nokia launch a tons of S60 phones, ALL of them are BUGGUIEST, slugish and a lot more of bad things. I dont say this, i play with some S60 phones and i read the opinions. Ive seen a lot of people with complaints about this brick, the same with N73!!!

              The Symbian UiQ stylus-based OS is the best option for a music phone, the touchscreen is a great and nice advantage, not like the stiff joystick in N91.

              The sound quality, is a subjetive parameter, i find both in the same level.

              About the storage space, yes, only is free 16-20Mb, but the total ram is 64Mb. In the brick and the W950 you have 4Gb of adittional storage space.

              Who says htat N73 is the best imaging phone???? or the N90????
              hahahahahaha, nokia fans!!!!!
              hahahahahahaahahahahaha

                  n91 vs w950

                  I agree Flash memory is better dan HDD but wen transferring 2.3 GB of songs to N91 & W950 its transfers faster on the n91 dan w950.

                  people say N91 camera is crap. Wake up at least it got a camera dan w950. Another ting da N91 camera i have made it better by installing a 3rd party camera software called
                  PhotoRite SP. It makes da camera more better wid capture effects/resoultion/light effect/blur Capture Mode(like Need for Speed Most Wanted wen u do nitro burst)

                  ha ha In w950 u have to use an adapter to connect it to speakers etc. N91 has it built in lol (3.5mm audio Jack).

                  N91 is a lot faster dan w950. Also wat are SE gona do wen N91 8GB Edition comes out with better screen resolution. WiFi (Probably WiMax Next Generation wifi) & a Stronger Battery. I dont see SE going no where at all.

                  SE phones is nuting compared to N Series & E Series Nokia phones. N80 voted best No.1 camera & N73. N93 voted best Video Recoreder/ Camcorder phone. 6230i voted best selling phone. N90 voted for camera. N91/3250 voted best selling & music phones. SE not winning nuting lol..

                  Even samsung could not compete wid da n91 even dough samsung had released a phone wid 8GB HDD & Windows Operating System (Mobile). Symbian OS Rules...

                      to tarantula, you such a fanboy. almost all the reason you post are not true FIRST.

                      first, it needs an ADAPTER to have 3.5mm n91 have them BUILT IN.
                      "SE W950 has 64MB ROM memory and 64MB RAM besides the 4GB available as a separate storage space."
                      ONLY ABOUT 16MB- 20MB are free.

                      "Yes, but in the ridiculous screen i see the function useless, in general i view the wifi in a phone useless, i go with my laptop to all sides and i use the wifi with it like a lot of people."

                      but it another feature the n91 its better, considering its actually cheaper than the w950. its nice to have, since you can get music from anywhere. like wifi cafe.

                      "The battery, W950 uses flash memory, Flash memory is a LOT better than a HDD because the life time, data transmission speeds and reliability."

                      those are "paper" facts, battery life.. well n91 its BETTER. the w950 screen makes drains it. speed well the n91 its faster, it uses a mini usb 2.0 SPEEDS, YES it tranfers music faster than sony ericsson fastport. so data transmission speeds of the NAND flash doesn't make any different.
                      w950 its slower than any s60 phone.
                      well the 2mpx camera Its not the best. but tis better than average. and it have one and th w950 doesn't and n91 ITS cheaper, also getting an upgrade to 8 gb.
                      audio quality. you should test the n91 with a good headset, you will find a nice surprise! sound its clearer, louder, nicer than the overbassed w950.
                      EDGE+3G, something more.
                      aside from the screen, the w950 doesn't have anything over the n91.

                        Alvin,
                        hey body i m not agree with u at all?. i just wanna ask u how do u know about great n91?. u said in the forum n91 have a bad camera,r u joking?.As well NOKIA has given the good camera quality. listen both phones are a music phone thats why u have to test both phones in terms of sound quality. and i also i wanna mention here that in every aspect n91 is better than w950. so plz stop comparing and blemming to n91. u wont compare at all.
                        1. w950 dont have edge instead n91 have
                        2. w950 dosent support wifi,n91 support as well.
                        3. w950 dont have a camera what is this SE?. n91 have a good 2 mp camera.
                        so n91 is bettter phone in mobile business.

                            hiii guys,
                            sony ericsson has really captured the market but the way they delay their product launch does effect their marketing like the delay of p990 did decreased its craze and the same is for w950 they product is already been launched but it is not available for sales in india i dont know why the company takes risk like that

                              To the guy below:

                              "I have both the phones N91 & W950. If u drop the the W950 its gone (broken basically & the HD will stop working)..."

                              Hahaha, th W950 doesnt use HDD, please, dont post crap, W950 uses FLASH MEMORY, it means NO ROTATING parts.

                              "I can connect it to my 5.1 Speakers using the 3.5mm Audio Jack. W950 has not got support for it..."

                              One more... The adapter of W950 has a 3.5 output to connect the phone to any 5.1 or 192373636.1 speakers, if it comes with a 2 RCA output adapter like W700 i will buy inmediately!!

                              "N91 has 4GB HDD + 18 MB Phone Memory + 12 MB Cache/Internet Cache..."

                              SE W950 has 64MB ROM memory and 64MB RAM besides the 4GB available as a separate storage space.

                              "N91 plays all sorts of file types including AAC+ v1.0/v2.0 where as W950 says File Type Not Supported!..."

                              W950 support AAC+, and all formats like N91, what is more, W950 has the best player in the mobile phone world (read the review).

                              "N91 has wifi, W950 doesnt have it..."
                              Yes, but in the ridiculous screen i see the function useless, in general i view the wifi in a phone useless, i go with my laptop to all sides and i use the wifi with it like a lot of people.

                              The battery, W950 uses flash memory, Flash memory is a LOT better than a HDD because the life time, data transmission speeds and reliability.

                              W950 has more advantages than n91 IN EVERY ASPECT, the camera... i dont need really, and the N91 camera is BAD, i still peffer the W800 camera

                                N91 vs W950

                                Basically N91 Rules...W950 is nothing compated to N91..

                                I have both the phones N91 & W950. If u drop the the W950 its gone (broken basically & the HD will stop working). Where as the N91 has Shock/Drop Resistant Built into the phone around the camera & HD. Plus N91 has passed 300 drop tests beat that W950!

                                Advantages of N91
                                I can connect it to my 5.1 Speakers using the 3.5mm Audio Jack. W950 has not got support for it.

                                The W950 earphones are good n comfortable but the N91 earphones actually shake like mad when u put the volume bass high. (the worlds first ever earphones that shake!)

                                N91 has 4GB HDD + 18 MB Phone Memory + 12 MB Cache/Internet Cache.

                                N91 has WiFi where W950 doesn not have it.

                                N91 plays all sorts of file types including AAC+ v1.0/v2.0 where as W950 says File Type Not Supported!

                                By the way theres a Newer Battery for N91 BL-6C which lasts up to 3 - 4 days beat that W950.

                                  Hahaha, nokia fans!!! always annoy the forum with your ridiculous comments!!

                                  How to compare the W950 with N91 (big pig/weapon/brick).
                                  The advantage in N91 is only the camera (i had to say, bad 2MP camera).

                                  WiFi... who cares about wifi, in the N91 screen (176*208) the wifi sessions are the most fun and interesting than any phone in the world.

                                  Follow with the screen... 176*208!!!!, the most impressive screen in the universe!!! on the contrary the W950 has only the ridiculous QVGA touchscreen.

                                  The battery life... for sure that HD is a marvell in energy saving.... more efficient than a flash memory and a lot more faster!!!!... yes nokia fans, you are right. The HD in N91 is a lot better than Flash memory in the W950, a lot more faster and a lot more resistant and blah blah blah

                                  The weight; N91 weights only 150 grams!! is nothing, is a very light phone!! if it drop in the floor maybe break the concrete! ...dont forget the HD, maybe it stop for ever.

                                  I read some reviews, the sound of W950 and N91 is comparable in all of them.

                                  For these facts i recommended the W950, is a SMART phone... if you want an earthquake when your phone drops, buy the N91

                                    i think it's wrong to compare n91 and w950. they have different concepts. if you want impression you must buy w950. if you want more features you can choose n91. but nobody wants a hole in his pocket ha

                                      hello all, N 91 and 950i are meant for two diff market segments. I agree that N 91 can be a better phone. It has camera, hard drive and every thing W950 has. Ofcourse it does not have damn sexy touch screen and also it does not have walkman phone. one of the biggest advantage of N91 over W950 is that N 91 can also be used a safety devise. if any one tries to attack you, you can defend yor self very well. It is an electronic brick. For those who want pure music and great features of touchscreen W950 will fit best. I hope the debate over who is better will no more be discussed. ..
