w900i and all walkman phones have expandable memory. does the ipod?. play are doing 512mb pro duo for £12.99 & 1gb for £24.99. If I ever run out of memory I'll buy another card.
So, that will only cost you £24.99 x 60 =
£1,499.40 to reach the same capacity as an 60gb iPod, and you'll be swapping 60 memory cards around in your pocket forever!
Check and mate. Funniest post of this thread. Thanks Jools

It makes me laugh reading some of the posts here. Has everyone forgotten that Apple them selfs have launched an Ipod phone in the form of the Motorola Itunes phones and there utter c*** compared to the Walkman phones. And let's not forget that Apple are rumoured to be working on an Ipod/ Phone combo made by themselves.
So when you can have a phone with 30GB storage, and Ipod player, scroll wheel, camera, games playing etc is it going to be a stupid ALL IN ONE device or will you use that much space and all those gadgets and hail the phone cause it's made by Apple?
Personally I think Apple should leave the mobile market well alone as it's crowded enough at the moment and there Itune's Motorola's are a waste of space.
Apple was going into the MVNO market and this caused analyst to think that they will develop/market an Apple branded phone. However, as anyone who has been around Apple knows, they are moving towards being a media company. This combines known hardware (for them) and software (they make their own). It does not seem realistic that Apple will put out the zillions of dollars it takes to develop and market a phone.
The Motorola phone was more a Motorola fiasco than Apples. Who made the phones? Survey says: Motorola. Not Apple. There is a big difference. Motorola made crap and no one bought them.
I think the Apple Motorola fiasco was more to do with Apple. On all reviews of the phones there were dammin comments about the strict limit of tunes you could put on the phones which was down to the Itunes software.
Also in most Apple rumour sites and sites like T3 and Stuff Magazine they have mentioned rumours several times about a phone being developed and made by Apple themselves. Weather they will make or one or not remains to be seen but they have had fancy fantasy phone mock up's made before by there designers.

don't matter how much memory or battery power the i-pod has, my w900i keeps me reachable to my family...so the bottomline is that the w900i is an all in 1 value for money practical gadget...scr*w the f*cking i-pod & stfu.

Such an intellect. Good to see the school system is coming along in the trailer park. As someone compared before. An iPod is not a phone. It is a media device. A w900i is a phone that happens to play media as well. Just for you, and you being mentally challenged, I will break it down for you. You have two cars. A Volkswagon Golf, and the other a Porsche 911 S4. Both are automobiles. Are you still with me? The VW will carry your groceries, the laundry, pick up the kids, all in the same trip, while the Porsche will go from A to B very fast with little room for anything else. You see, but cars are specialized for a specific purpose and they both do it well. So you the buyer have the option to get an all-arounder (VW), or an extremely specialized car (Porsche) that does only one or two things well. At the end of the day, the option is your. By the way, the owner of the Porsche more than likely has another car or two at home just to do the things the VW can do.
Please write back if I went to fast. Next time I will try and have pictures for you.

Well it would depend on which "analyst you believe. If you read iLounge, you get a different story. Actually they had two similar and dissimilar stories running at the same time. I can see Apple moving into the MVNO space. Nothing much to do. Buy some SIM chips, brand them, sell them. Get the bandwidth as well and away you go.
As for the Motorola phone, Apple supported it but I do not seem them behind it 100%. iTunes is their cash cow. Downloads over the air was not a viable biz model for them. They want people in the online store. OTA music downloads was a way for the operators to make money and they naturally went with Motorola, as they did not have a deal. Nokia phones had and still have that crappy Real Player, while SE has he deal with Sony and its resources. Motorola was left out in the cold. So please show me the upside for Apple here. If Apple thought there was money to be made, they would have pushed harder, but you can see that Apple phone has all but died out.

Well like I said we will have to wait and see what old Jobsy has in his mind I mean I bet you never thought an Apple would be using an intel chip and run Windows did you? Would you buy an Apple phone if it was made out of interest?
As for my view, I have a PSP so an Ipod is a mute point for me. I see it as just a gadget, sure it's cool and that but I have never had a need for one so don't see the point in spending the money. For me the walkman phone would make more sense as it is a great phone that has good multimedia functions if I want to use them. You don't have to use the walkman player, although I'm getting a K800I more for it's cam and build quality and screen rather then the stolen walkman player.
I could happily fill an Ipod with a few tracks of loss less compression music so that's a fair few meg per track and then a few films as well if I did have one.
These day's though, as everything is so small then why not buy all of the gadgets. It's not like there going to fill your pockets especially if you had the new to be released Ipod nano with 12GB memory. But I enjoy playing games and watching films more so a mobile phone is my choice over my PSP for a gadget I have with me all the time.
Mobiles should really be all about communication at it's best and they are. They do email, video calling, PDA functions, sync with networks and PC's, send SMS in all it's forms and Video messages, internet etc. So it's no wonder phones are converging into doing other non communication things that are useful as they can cover all the above mentioned things already. At least there useful things like camera's and music players that you would use.
The only thing comms wise left for non smart phones to conqour in full is perhaps email.

You brought up a good point. The PSP. It seems that this was forgotten with only a Walkman Phone and iPod being considered. I had a PSP as well, but sold it after only a few days. It seems that it just did no have enough capacity for me. As I stated earlier, I travel from country to country and dragging a box of CD's with me is not a good proposition so I have my entire music collection spread across my iPod, and external back up drive and my Mac. I also have a Walkman Phone (w810i) that I use only for the phone function or as a document storage device. i.e. work docs and files that I sometimes need to email. I also have a Nokia 9300i that I use as an everyday work phone, but your inclusion of the PSP is something that should also be considered as well.

What kind of sound quality does the PSP have through a good set of ear pieces?

I had very good sound from the PSP. It was nice to watch a movie and be able to hear little things in the back ground. I did not play much music with it though. Mainly movies and games. I would assume that a good pair of headphones can make most media players sound well or expose their flaws.
