As far as I know, even iPods can't run for as long as the music lasts. You think with 20GB iPods, people can play all their music on a single charge? IT's not about how long your player can play songs, it's about how many it can store so that you have a wider choice of songs to listen to.

Do you realize how much a 2GB card would cost? It would probably about as much as the cell phone itself. I mentioned Memory Sticks in particular because the W800 uses them. I saw on Amazon that a 2GB MEmory Stick Duo costs $350. You want to pay that much for flash memory? And with higher capacity cards, the speed is compromized as the phone has to address all that information. That does slow down the phone.

Whoever said that mobilrs are meant to small and compact? IS the Nokia 9500 small? Is the SE P910i small? Don't they sell so many pieces the world over? It's about getting the features you want that matters rather than the size. Also, this might be a subjective issue as some people might like small phones. Fine. But I Still don't like the idea of getting an orange-colored cell phone.

Again with the music formats and Internet, why do you think of only India? Nokia will sell the phone on 5 continents for crying out loud. And don't tell me GPRS is expensive-it costs just Rs. 99pm but GPRS is not the issue here-EDGE is. Wi-Fi is available in India. SIFY offers it. Ok it may not be widespread but it is a start. As I said, don't neglect a feature just because you can't make full use of it. A lot of users will and that is why the N91 scores over the W800.

My point with the music formats being, the N91 plays more file formats than the W800 which makes it better.

I am not going to list out any apps. Go to the site above and see for yourself what you can do with Symbian.
