ya if you need 850 you suck lol... i don't care that much about 850..1900 runs well in the city.. which is where i am mainly..
Gee, thanks
In the US, we have T-Mobile and Cingular. Cingular relies heavily on 850. T-Mobile only uses 1900, but has roaming agreements with Cingular. So if you're in a T-Mobile black hole (e.g. where I work
), you still need 850.
The only people that "suck"are those who mock the unavoidable misfortunes of others.
just having a little fun with you relax.... you should get the k550i or w610.. a2dp, walkman 2.0 and video playback is 30fps....

Everyone seems to have missed one of the major advantages that music cell phones have over the ipod line - speakers.
You can't listen to music without earphones on an ipod.
And the newer music phones also support a2dp... making wire hassles a thing of the past.
And you can transfer songs over bluetooth.
And you can download songs off the net on the move.
And most music phones have a radio built in.

Heh, I thought so. But people on Esato get really pissed about the iPod for some reason, so you never know

W610 isn't available Stateside yet. If I buy a K550, I'm buying an iPod Nano, too!

Not sure about others, but the W810 needs a wired headset (HPM-70, HPM-82) to use the radio, as the wire acts as the antenna.
So wires aren't going away yet, and the radio isn't 100% "built-in."
Current iPod Nano and iPod video have available an HPM-82-like accessory, providing wired control + FM radio reception. The iPod itself has the radio application, controlled via the click-wheel.
And you can transfer songs over bluetooth.
is still slow. I wouldn't use it for more than 2-3 small files. Anything else, take the memory card out and use a USB 2.0 card reader.

I really like the Nano but have no real user experience with one! the thing that deterred me from the ipod to start with was battery life, so x-mas 2005 i bought my first mp3 player the 1gb Sony
NW-E507 with radio, 50hrs battery life and up to 3hrs from a 3 minute charge! the specs really sold it for me as i wasn't really interested in a big colour screen, and the shuffle had no screen at all!
June last year i got the
810i my first
phone which didn't quite replace my MP3 player, then i got my
950i and i haven't used my MP3 player since!
I suppose the day ipod do something to really impress me i will invest in one, until then i am a pure
man!

I bought a red one (4GB) for my wife for our anniversary. It's an extremely cool little gadget, especially in look and feel. Gotta love aluminum-bodied construction, with which you W880 owners undoubtedly concur
It's impressive enough that I may buy a K550i + black (8GB) Nano...

My little brother has a nano and i have to agree they really are a cool little gadget. But whilst my W950i does all that and more i'll refrain from buying one, the W950i's memory may be a let down to some but 4gb with my music being transferred at 64kbps is more than enough for me! (for now anyway!)

well, this will curve into an up-side-down again between se walkman and ipod as the author was asking for a jury but basically favors on ipod.
and even elaborates aspects of ipod better than a sale rep imho and very attentive on replies and explanations.
sealed this forum before it goes into a promotional iphone and ipods and arguments.

Mate why do you bother trying this thread again? you have been through this whole discussion already..
Face it, this is an SE forum, so most of us love our Sony devices, and you clearly love your ipods, and macs.. You are like one of those crazy bible bashers who turn up on Saturday mornings trying to preach to the hungover masses.. we don't really care how much you love your ipod.. or apple.. we come here because we own Sony products..
Is this making sense to you yet? We don't hate your ipod.. (pity you maybe?) We just don't see the need, our wonderful little convergent Sony devices do it all for us..
So if you like carting around an ipod, a phone and a camera, be my guest.. I'll be the guy at the other end of the train sniggering at you with all your various devices.. me? the headphone cable from my Sony, will be coming from my jeans pocket to my ears.. i might be listening to music, on a call, or even pull it out to take a photo of you with all your array of devices.. people like you really make me laugh that much!
but just to humour your discussion further... an 8gb ipod nano costs £170 on the apple UK site.. Contract phones in the UK are generally FREE.. so, let me see.. FREE vs £170.. hmm case closed in my book.. my all in one phone, camera and media player for FREE beats your £170 ipod anytime..
cheers Oz
