Sony Ericsson w810i or Nokia N70 Music Edition.

Help me choose b\w them.
And in N70 ME can i extend the memmory upto 2GB,
And is its audio quality at par or better than the w810i.

How about Nokia 5700 ?

i did'nt think about the nokia 5700 because i felt that the twisting mechanism would give future problems.

[Pathik]

even i wd suggest the 5700..

[sagsall4u]

I love SE phones, i havent ever bought, liked or cared bout a nokia phone. but i make an exception for the 5700. It has all the features including the latest and fastest connectivity. the only con....twist mechanism

but does'nt the nokia 5700s twisting mechanism cause problems,
and i heard that its cam is rendered useless for night time pics.

[Sukhdeep Singh]

Twisting Mechanism is the only drawback i guess. I myself have to buy a cellphone in a few weeks. Till now after reading loads of review i think 5700 is best value for money

But maybe the built quality of 5700 is better than 3250 and Nokia has learned from it

all walkmen series phone have better sound quality then nokia phone
now as you asked between N70ME and w810i, so if you consider only music
go for w810i, but if you need all other things then go for N70ME as it's symbian
it has whole lot of softwares for everything you can imagine just like pc.
BTW :- if you use third party music players with good set of earphones for creative or altec lancing you can get the same music quality like SE walkmen series.

[Third Eye]

Why dont you go with w850i or w830i.they are better than w810i but lacks autofocus in cam(correct me if i am wrong).

@techgenius his budget hs around 12-13k.. So w850 and 830 r out of the picture

my budget is 14K,
and will the nokia 5700s twisting mechanism cause any problems,
and is the N70ME worth it bcos i heard its too slow and music quality is very average.

[Third Eye]

@slash_98:yes you are right but it not that slow.get a w810i.

Price differnce for N70 and 5700 is almost NIL but there is a major differnece in Processor plus 5700 has a music chip and reviews say that it has the loudest and clear speakerphone for music

[anispace]

yeah but what about the twisting thing does it give any probs in the future coz otherwise the 5700 is an awesome phone for its price.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

u may at use the phone for 2 yrs or say worse 3 yrs........twisting thing don't worry man even if does causes prob service center shld fix it
i dont think for 2 yrs it may cause probs..........may be if used rashly
common i think the music player shld be accsessbile even without twisting and u can control it with the keypad too...so try not to twist many times

[Dark Star]

5700 if u did not need cam.. Else W810i any day cause better than 70 in terms of Speed and Music and Cam quality

[2kewl]

W610i. It has A2DP and W Player 2.0 + 2MP (Auto focus)

[hahahari]

SE is better

[Rockstar11]

music + cam = Sony Ericsson

[Gaurav]

I have my personal experience with SE W810i, the phone is awesome, much faster than nokia phones and sound quality is great(via headphones)

but...

1.) The ringtone volume is too low,
2.) The connector for charger and handsfree is same, thus making the connection loose most of the time.
3.) You cannot use handsfree while you are charging your phone.
4.) No folder creation support for storing different sms'es, (like shayari, humour), this function is provided my nokia's basic 6030 phone.
5.) last but not the least, THE PHONE'S BATTERY SUCKS,..... gives a backup of only 1 or 1.5 day max....

trust me, I've been using SE W810i for the last 2 months and it has started giving me problems, but will have to stick with it, till i get a job. ,

I WOULD SUGGEST NOKIA 5700 OR N70ME. NOKIA PHONES HAVE GREAT BUILD QUALITY AND CUST SUPPORT TOO, THEIR BATTERIES GIVES AWESOME BACKUP AND HAVE BETTER USER INTERFACE.

choice is yours...

Lolz N70 is damn slow phone or I should say Slow Poke .. Buy other if u are desperate in buying N series .. I would suggest P990 i if u could spend 14k without bill and 17k with bill.. Its a fabulous phone

[gxsaurav]

N70 ME has one thing good (compoared to my K750i). Video recording at 352X288 at 512 kbps bitrate. You have to see the MMS quality to believe it...

[ssk_the_gr8]

w810i..go for it

U need to get a firmware upgrade.. the initial firmwares were a bit buggy.... upgrade to R4EA031 CID49. I have upgraded my brothers phone myself...

The only point worth noting is that YES... the ringtone volume is a tad low...

The picture quality is great !!!! Autofocus works excellently.

and not to mention N70 SUKS BIG TIME !!!

[cvvikram]

Go for W810i man...it is really a good phone for that range

[Third Eye]

the only problem i find with w810i is that the connector for charger and handsfree is same which makes it quite loose otherwise the phone is good and better than n70.

hey guys maybe i can increase by budget,
so would it be better to go for an N73 or N73 Music Edition,
and is the audio quality of the N73 ME as good as SE walkman phones.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

yeah man u better get w810i......i dont think u need symbian
u will get nice camera and also nice music.....what more..
i dont think those symbian applications u willl use them all time
basic application u willl get for w810i too
