XpressMusic vs Walkman
Wednesday, 7. January 2009, 15:11:23
Recently I cahnged my mobile for a Nokia XpressMusic. Nokia in many ways is leading in innovation, Sony Ericsson is good in the music, and a few years ago they had the most innovative products, now they are like catching up.
I'm going to compare the music player since I had a Sony Ericsson W960 (walkman phone) and now I use a Nokia XpressMusic phone.
The sound quality is impressive in both handsets, Nokia has stereo speakers so it is a win here in the external speakers, also Nokia has a 3.5mm jack, which means any headphones fit, another win for Nokia, but, the UI of the Nokia player is really bad, they improve little with time, the list of songs is really slow to show, you can not see album art in the album list, you can't see which song will be next in the shuffle mode, there is no magic play list like the "sense me", rated songs or per year or decade.
Also I miss the TrackID, a great function that I loved, and I wanted yesterday while I was listening the radio there was a great song.
The phone has a lot of functions and possibilities, and since it is a Nokia, it has a great support for software, but the player, which is the reason of the phone, has a lot to improve. Kudos to Sony Ericsson doing such a great player for their phones.
I'm wating for Sony Ericsson new smartphone family based in S60 with touch screen capabilities, great cameras and impressive player, to go back with them.

Sony Ericsson just wash your brain with their brand. I have an xpressmusic and a walkman. Xpressmusic kicks walkman butt in a million yard. Stop thinking if its Walkman then it's music is the best or cybershot is the best cameraphone. Branding can never beat real try out in reality
