The Walkman phones sound better to some people but in no way they sound better than the iPod.
which ipod? shuffle? if so, then i do not agree. its all upto personal preference. this cannot be generalised. my ears say my w700 sounds better than ipod shuffle (same song, encoded in same format + bitrate). my phone has preset and manual eq, megabass, shuffle, fm, i can view video, passive noise cancellation earbuds (comes bundled), allows me to plugin any headphone/earbuds, allows me to extend the memory upto 4gb (as of now) and the battery actually lasts as much as the ipod shuffle in flight mode (yeah, i've tested it!). i'd say no point in buying ipod shuffle. at least i wudn't! i can't comment on nano or video as i hafnt used them. but for me, my phone sounds better than any ipod shuffle!!! others may be able to help u out regarding the ipod nano and video comparison.

The only music phone with really good sound quality is N91.
again, i do not agree! jus coz it has a 4gb hdd + bose bundled headphones do not make it the "only" music phone. it is definitely one of the contenders! i found no difference in quality b/w n91 and w830i in terms of audio o/p. again, i say its all how ur ears respond to the music! hence it varies from person to person!

nope u cannot use ur existing memory card in SE phones. SE phones use memory stick standard. the prev. gen. phones used memory stick pro duo. the latest ones use memory stick micro (m2). as of now, it is more expensive than all others and only available upto 1gb.
w550i is cheaper coz if doesn't haf expandable memory (256mb solid state), nly 1.3mp cam widout autofocus, no edge, doesn't come wid bundled speakers.
tho the w810i is ageing, it still is an excellant phone. u can wait for some more time if u wish. many more models (like the w610i, w580 - maybe, w880i) are coming... u may read user reviews for those. can't comment on any as never got a chance to even hold any of the phone in my hand. but the slim phones really catch attention!!
well, i'm very happy wid my phone. customised it to the max, hacking firmware and stuff. but then haf money then buy w810i. give w700i a pass if u can afford to pay more! features where w700 falls behind w810i:
256mb memory, no autofocus, no bundled speakers, no edge.
