the in-ear headset that came with W910 is definitely much better quality than the original crap N95 headset. If you get a chance to listen to both phones with the same better headset, then you can clearly hear the different. It is not a matter of preference. You dont need to be an audiophile to tell that N95/82 definitely has much clear and dynamic sound. Like I said, the earphone I used is a Sony in-ear type (with bass boost).
If you say your W910 dont reboot, then you are not using the media menu a lot.
That's what cause it to reboot - most probably due to ram issue (i suspect).

I agree with mib, I use Shure headsets, also tried with my other headsets Philips with bass boost as well. The difference is there. Oh, I tested with the N95 though and the W910 does lose out there. The bass is tight and its not hanging on the N95. Only if SE can equip their phones with the Sony NWA walkman sound processors. Those walkman players are awesome, better than my nano 8GB ipod!

Just to give you an idea of what you're talking about N95 sound quality
as you can see, the two pics were based on the test done by gsmarena with their W910 and N95 8Gb review. however take note that the scores of the phones like N81, LG viewty on the different pictures did not differ from each other indicating that there was a common ground among the phones being tested and that is the audio file they used for the test. i actually don't know much about this test so i'll let you decide who's generally better between N95 and W910 except for the dynamic range which i think favors the W910

@razec, exactly, that bears out my impressions. However the N81 does impress.
@mib, actually, media player is one of the functions I use the most
Sorry to disappoint you but maybe your father has a lemon? The slowness and memory issues have been solved with the latest firmware, this is confirmed if you read up on the W910 firmware overview thread (and certainly for me going by my own experience). Check your father's firmware, is it R1FA035?

I can't check now as my dad lives in a different city. But I updated the firmware around first week of July 2008 before I gave it to my Dad. The production date of the phone was 08wk23 so it is from a new batch.
Maybe to you the phone is very fast by SE standard but to me it definitely laggy compared to my N82 which I am using now. I am pretty sure the stability issue is related to the walkman multimedia menu. If I dont touch this menu the phone seldom reboots but if I use it to do stuff like create/edit playlist etc, the phone will reboot after sometime.

the first post in this thread, is just stupid
((technical-expert..hhmm))
what did you expect, some super sonic sound ???
if you want really good sound, buy a real "Sony walkman player" or a "Ipod touch".... dont buy a cell phone.
W910 looks great and have good normal sound (with a pair good headphones), nothing odd or strange with w910 sound.. its just normal.
(the only thing who bothers me, is the high price !.. its little to high for that kind of cell phone..im thinking about the low-quality camera of course)
edit. didnt W910 won some award for best handset in Barcelona some year ago ?????? he he

not some year it is last yr.
Maybe the whole GSM association get bride?? so they close their eye and ears to vote W910 being the best??
I think they don't want super sonic...everyone hoping their phone can give THX quality.
one day George Lucas will claim he created a THX std for phone and the first phone who got it...people will claim it bring a hell lot of different as watching death star blow up on 2.4in screen with two small NXP cellphone speaker is like watching the blow up on the spot.
in general this arguement is funny but of course now it got MIB in...it get drag to another topic hahahaha.....
but yes.... he did make a point tht somehow that media menu isn't tht good for the initiate generaiton of A200 phone...now getting better.
again do note...if any of your song or pictures are corrupted....it can also trigger the phone to reboot....when you on your phone...you check out media menu....all the stuff always going thru updates.
I know this thru a hard way....

mib old friend, I know what "lag" means. I can operate the menu and there is no lag whatsoever, as in press a key and the function happens straight away, no waiting. The way it should be. Even with music playing.
The way all my SE phones are. Slow laggy SE phones are the exception not the rule my friend. I have never owned a slow SE phone.
However I found a bug that will give you some satisfaction, when I use the media player for half an hour or more, occasionally the activity menu dies (ie: press the activity button and nothing happens). I have to restart the phone, MANUALLY - not a self-restart before you say anything
to get the activity menu back.
Don't say I never give you anything (to gloat about) buddy
