@ Hlcn Twst,
well argued! but (
) : have you listened to e50/61???? You don't need an ipod! Some nice earphones will do - for luxury pay 20 dollars for lcg jukebox (great musicplayer with lyrics search, cover art, internet radio, light-speed playlist management etc etc...), and you're all set!!!

All the points you mentioned for K550, E50 already has all those so K550 can hardly be called the better buy, unless you're too used to the SE UI.

@QVGA - No doubt, the E50 is the better buy. But that doesn't mean the K550i deserves the scorn heard in this thread - an
fans' thread no less

Do the Nokia phones have the iPod's balanced sound output?
Do the Nokia phones synchronize playlists with iTunes?
Using a non-iPod (e.g. mobile phone) in iTunes is a pain. You have to manually copy the desired music from the computer to the phone, then manually create your playlists on the phone.
Nokia does have an iTunes plug-in for the N91, and it's rumored to work for the N95. Can anyone confirm/deny this?

if you want a definite iPOD like sound quality then N91 is either equal or better than iPOD.

My miserable W810 experience tells me that the "converged" device is still a pipe dream off in the future.

I'm lost...
converged handsets are a dream in the future yet you want to know if the N91 etc has ipod sound...........
or am I being really dim here or have you changed your stance?

In my experience, convergence isn't here (in the present) yet. If it were, we wouldn't hear excuses like, "Of course a dedicated device is better at ___ than an all-in-one"
I'm asking if something like the N73 or N95 has, in fact, made real,
practical convergence a present-day reality. Based on reviews, I would say the N95 is almost there, hampered only by
sluggishness of some apps, e.g., camera, GPS
mediocre audio output quality
expectedly poor battery life
I guess I'll just have to wait for N95 v.2... I would see v.1 for myself, of course, except the nearest Nokia store is 500 miles away
(And I can't use the N91, for its lack of the 850 MHz voice band.)
