Depends on your need

>W550i if you need FM, & lounder sound

>6681 for EDGE, bettery, themes, better screen, expandable memory

it depends on your choice

SE W550i is a walkman phone with 256mb memory & FM

6681 is a smartphone .. with Symbian OS, & expandable memory support.

Well .. that is the problem with everyone

Yes you can use 6681 as mp3 player, it supports MP4/ACC & Ogg too.

See this player comes in 6681

ok...one straight forward suggestion. if you want a business class phone get a 6681. but if you want pure multimedia experience go in for w550i.

Yes I agree, 6681 is way too plain

6681 ... anytime dude .... W550i has a much smaller screen ... 6681 is a Symbian Series60v2 OS8 phone .. much better software support .... medial types is not much of a problem. .... a good mp3 player can play all ... like PowerMP3 ... .. the headphones are really good ..
another choice could be the 6630 .... which is almost like the 6681 ... but costs less and is 3G enabled ....
