N81 also has Symbian which allows lots of applications, N-Gage gaming platform, and 8GB memory if you get 8GB version.
With N81, you get the MP3 player and many other features and W910i is a music player and that's about it.
W910i is quite thin and N81 is about 5mm thicker. Don't know about build quality of both phones, but heard W910i has some issues.

i read a lot of reviews and saw a ton of videos... n81 has flash for the camera, and wifi capability, but the slider was not very good, it would make a sound when u pressed down on it... kind of like a thumping noise, and when he flip or shake the nokia it rattles like a childs toy... the thickness doesnt worry me but for $50 more i dunno if i should just get the 2gb version of n81

id go for w910............... the n81 might have more features...... but the build is shocking imho! the w910 is much better built, which for me, is enough to make me choose the w910.....

N81 doesnt have a shocking built quality. Just because you got your hands on a bad one doesnt mean you generalize that N81 has bad built quality. Many people will claim they used a W910 with wobbly slider.

@qvga
its a common problem! i played with quite a few at the shop i buy from, were all the same.
you dont need to tell me i could have just gotten a bad one! i know things like that happen, but its not just one, as i said, i played with quite a few!
And many reviews say the same thing.
If there wasnt any other build problems circulating around the internet, then i wouldnt have said it, then i would admit its just a lemon i (my bro) got!

'The slider construction also seems very reliable though it somewhat lacks smoothness' GSM Arena
'The Nokia N81’s spring-loaded slider mechanism can’t make the halves slide like butter, but that’s because of their weight. Compared to the Nokia N80, the N81 is definitely an improvement in this sense, however when it comes to other today’s sliders, you come to realize that the slider action in this handset is pretty average – not stellar, yet not bad either' Mobile-review
Those are from the 2 biggest reviewing websites. I can hardly conclude that N81 has shocking built quality. Its possible you got a bad batch.

I'd get the W910. (again, personal preference)
The N81 is a tad too bulky for a slider for me (and build quality is pretty average) . Otherwise it's OK.
Oh, and there are too many buttons on the top "slide". That ruins the looks even further.

Oh, and the N81 doesn't have an accelerometer!
Not that it's such a big deal, but it's a really cool feature...
