Hi dtox.. longtime no see!

K790i is based on walkman platform hence there is slight or no difference in audio quality. I think its an excellent buy at 11k or so. Plus you being the " SE mod guy" its suits you perfectly

5610 is more stylish. As someone said, audio quality is subjective and to my ears 5310 sound better than 5610! (Plz don't start a war on this!). Unfortunately what lets both down is the crap camera.

thanks for the replies guys..

but another thing.. can i maybe flash a k790i into a walkman?? coz tht wud really tip the scales in k790i's favour... coz then i wud hav megabass of walkman n a good cam.. wont i?? i say this coz i kno s500i can be flashed to w580..



the thing is yogesh tht the sound quality as well as camera in 5310 is better.. coz 5310 has AF and flash which 580i sadly dosent..

P.S: I OWN CREATIVE EP-630.. so headphones shdnt be a problem..

You must be referring to the 5610. 5610 sounds really good with EP-630, earphones provided aren't too good

What 5310 has autofocus and flash?

Hell no. It doesn't have and it's camera is very very inferior to that of SE's lineup.

i meant 5610

he he.. yeah.. i hav been underground off late.. neway, do u hav ne idea if k790 can be flashed to a walkman series? plus, does the AIC33 chip in 5610/5310 (which is supposed to enhance its sound quality) any good?? i mean do they sound better than SE walkman series?? u seem to hav used 'em both..

isn't there a way to locate your old mobile by using a unique identification number thats within your mobile hardware ? Whatever the SIM the finder/stealer may put in that mobile, by alerting the service providers you can trace it.

Yes, but most don't bother (given the trouble) because you can only communicate with service provider through police. And even, it is believed that the person using a stolen mobile will never give his correct address to the service provider...

 

[Pathik]

Yep. It is not feasible in India.

most ppl sell off stolen mobiles in places like delhi's chor bazzar. you can easily track unsuspecting buyers of thy phone

Frankly I find that 5310 is a good compett. for Walkman series. But I'm sure SE's "megabass" gimmick shuns mids with hpm70.

K790i can be heavily modded. But the only feature missing is walkman player. Tho its irrelevant coz you can get megabass in the form of an equalizer hack. I think the d-pad of w810i was a plus as k790i has joystick.

k.. but wat bout bass?? which one offers better bass?? nokia 5610 or walkman series?? from my knowledge, i think sony ericcson holds the upper hand. Never mind the mids and the lows, we hav custom acoustics in SE for that

A review of SE K790i by a digitiian.

Music Playback

This is a SE phone, so you’d be forgiven to take for granted the fact that the phone is gonna be a good music player. And it does not disappoint. We plugged in the SE W810i’s earphones and I have to say, it has to be one of the best sounding phones around. Good enough whilst travelling anyway.

And oh, there is an FM player as well. Thank you very much.

Performance

Nice and fast, is usually why people steer clear of Nokia’s and get Sony Ericsson’s. This one’s no exception. Everything usually loads up when you hit a key and there’s hardly any waiting period, except when you’re playing around with the images that have taken at the max resolution of 3.2MP’s.

Battery Life

Absolutely good(Li-Po 900 mAh ) .Talk time is a good 7hrs and you can play MP3’s continuously for around 11hrs. So looking at a real world scenario(around an hour of talking, 2 hours of music playback, and some shots with the camera), the battery should offer you juice for up to 2 days without the phone needing a dash to the mains.

in terms of bass, SE is the clear leader.

For mids and lows you haf custom acoustics. For bass - enabling the megabass equilizer set will require applying just a patch! (Tho it won't come with that flashy megabass blue logo, but what it delivers is megabass since its only an eq config. internally).

 

[desiibond]

after some searching through the internet, I found this:

The music player is same as "walkman" phones, but stripped of walkman branding and "megabass" equalizer... it is stil very
good, u can make playlists,et al.. The manual equalizer is still there.. also you can play .rm songs too!

wat u mean by this is that the hardaware in k790i supports megabass.. right?? in that case, i shd hav megabass after applying custom patches..

thanks for the effort desiibond.. much apreciated!


also, can someone tell me wats the difference between k800 n k790?

 

[krazzy]

also, can someone tell me wats the difference between k800 n k790?

K800 has 3G and a secondary camera for video calls but it lacks EDGE. K790 has EDGE but lacks 3G and hence the second camera. In India only K790 is officially available and thats perfectly acceptable since in India we only have EDGE and no 3G.

Yep. For that lemme link a post on the blog of our very own member (akshay): *www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/patching/megabass-for-all-se-db2020-phones/

Obviously, I needn't tell u that they are firmware specific. You've been a modder.

You can confirm here. hehe.. I'm kinda promoting our "indian" sites rather than se-nse.net Patriotism... lolz...

 

[dtox]

^^ he he.. reliable info.. as always..

 

[desiibond]

^^ You got all the info you need??

 

[dtox]

^^yup.. thank u all guys.. really appreciated.. gonna get myself k790i in a week.. that is if noone cant come up with a better solution!

 

[pagol123]

go for lg kg 920 its cost around 10500 in univercell and its having 5 MP camera.

 

[desiibond]

^^yuck.
unworthy 5mp cam. (Taking a picture with the LG KG920 takes more than 10 seconds in order to focus on the subject, take a shot at the maximum resolution and save it. Focusing and saving each takes around 4 seconds. The auto focus suffers some issues and fails to deliver in low light environments and low contrast subjects. )
flash not at all good (The second test is against a brick wall from about two meters in almost total darkness. For our surprise here the LG KG920 failed miserably. It seems that its flash was not as strong as the one of K800. Moreover KG920 doesn't boost the sensitivity in this situation to compensate for the insufficient light. In this scene even N73 delivers better results than KG920. So, if you want good results with KG920, make sure you shoot from close range.)
bulky body
clueless keypad design
pathetic music player (
If you receive a call while the MP3 player is playing the song gets stopped and when you end your call it doesn’t start automatically. Further on when you do start it manually, its starts playing the current track from the very beginning.)
