the world keeps getting dumber and dumber. with ridicolous awards. W980 lol. Nokia N91 still has the best audio quality & loudness in a Mobile Phone nothing has beaten that yet. The W980 does not even stand nothing close to the N91.

btw W980 has EU Volume Restriction where as N91 is a FREE bird lol no Volume Restriction what so ever. Try using Boose headphones on the W980 and n91 or any good quality earphones, headphones and the N91 still beats the W980.

    Anonymous, 18 Aug 2008to be honest your picking the most pathetic faults aint ya!... moreYups. The awards speak for themselves. And we can laugh at all the Nokia Xpress music lovers who try to claim that their so-called music phones are better than the Walkman series. Bwa-hah-hah-haaahh....!

        (-) there is no light notifications such as for new missed called or new sms, though it could've been implemented

        (-) when using the walkman on top in the extrnal screen:
        while listening to a song from an album, i cant go back and search for another song in the same album, i have to go back from the top menu.

                    am disapointed that this phone hasnt any light notifications like my w960. for example when u have a new sms or missed calls, the w960 will have a green light blinking. this could have been possible with w980.

                    This phone sound chip is the most advanced! more than the w960 and the ipod, am hearing sounds in my favorite album i never heard before! wow!

                    when am playing a song from an album, and decide to listen to another song , i have to search from the top walkman menu, for example, i cant click back and search in the same album.

                      Anonymous, 17 Aug 2008well u CAN see that IF u have a missed call it will show up... moreThanks for this. Do you know how to use GPS on this phone? I know that one has to buy the GPS receiver seperately...but what software should one use, i.e., the name and where can I get (download) it? What is the most reliable GPS software to use?

                      Thanks a lot.

                                    1. dunno but i have a w960 altho im not gonna experiment with it. but my guess is 980 will be better.
                                    2. yes, unfortunately. dunno wtf SE is doing.. flagship model sure features an extreme lag on it -_-
