Battle of the Music Phones

[krazyfrog]

Yes gx, N95 is not dedicated music phone. But it has enough music features to be called a music phone. As i said there is a dedicated 3.5 mm slot on the phone itself. Also N95 is world's first two way slider with the other way of sliding purely dedicated to music keys. This shows the importance of music in this phone. The phone also has a great music player and supports nearly all the formats. I don't understand why you don't wanna include it.
Btw 5300 is also a good option.

Hey who says N91 can't support WMA and RA? N91/8gb has one of the most impressive format support in all mobile phones.

Just on the basis of music playback capabilites and music player features in the phone, I would choose the SE w950i. Anybody who has used the music player will fall head over heels for it (metaphorically speaking)

 

[koolbluez]

My dear (now) old SE W800i suffices for my portable music machine
I recently bought a 2GB card to put in more songs! And to think the 512MB I got, by default, with the phone wasn't enuf!

 

[gxsaurav]

OK, I will add N95 but also add that it is not a dedicated music phone. It does provides solid support but not caterd towards music

koolbluez...whast was the cost of 2 GB card

 

[aryayush]

it shd be around 30-35k..

I hope it isn't.

Have you seen the demo of the iPod feature on the iPhone?

 

[gxsaurav]

judging by $600 for iPhone 8 GB the cost comes to be arround Rs 30k, add to it the taxes & the fact that prices are always higher in India, & you can get an idea it will be near to 40K

40K for a mobile.... whose been making black money here . I can buy a computer or even a laptop in that or better yet Geforce 8800GTS drool)

Have you seen the demo of the iPod feature on the iPhone?

No one can, it's not out yet

 

[koolbluez]

@ gx_saurav, I got a fake one... there r two types of fake 2GB cards, one that is red & another that is white. The white one is newer & better, costs the same. I got it for 1600/- The real one is 4.5k.

Yes, you can because Apple has posted demo tours of most of the features of the iPhone on the official website. For the iPod videos, you can visit this link:
*www.apple.com/iphone/ipod/

You'll need QuickTime Player, of course. You can also download the Macworld podcast from the iTunes Store for free and watch it. Here's the link, it will open in iTunes:

iPhone's the best - it's got all the features of a video iPod, plus it's got Cover Flow. Sony Walkman phones are good too.

 

[Pathik]

IMO the best feature on iPhone seems to be Multitouch...

 

[aryayush]

Of course it is. I fell in love with Safari too. And the music, and the video, the phone itself, the slick animations, the design... OK, I love the whole of it!

 

[Pathik]

if this fone does come out... then it ll blow off all da others...

I fell in love with Safari too.

The same browser is there on Symbian 9.1 phones.

 

[gxsaurav]

[aryayush]

The same browser is there on Symbian 9.1 phones.

What! How? Are you sure?

 

[Pathik]

It's called Webkit.

From the Webkit site:

WebKit is an open source web browser engine. WebKit is also the name of the Mac OS X system framework version of the engine that's used by Safari, Dashboard, Mail, and many other OS X applications. WebKit's HTML and JavaScript code began as a branch of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE. This website is also the home of S60's S60 WebKit development.

*webkit.org/blog/87/safari-on-the-iphone/

There may be minor UI differences between the two, but the underlying code is same.

I'm currently using Webkit on OS X, and apart from the icon and the browser version, Webkit looks and feels exactly the same as Safari does.

Clicky. Webkit on OS X. Same UI as that of Safari.

Different icons, though. The one with the golden rim is the icon of Webkit, and its poorer cousin is that of Safari

Guys, Music phones anyone.....I thought fatbeing told us not to bring internet capability or Mac talk here.

i was not wrong when i kept iPhone out of this thread. Look whats going on, any talk or word against apple & the wraith follows

 

[aryayush]

^^^ ^^^

How can there be any phone which is better than the iPhone at playing music? Is there something, anything the iPhone lacks?

 

[krazyfrog]

^^ I think it lacks an fm radio. Music phone is incomplete without fm radio.
