A Sad sad day... I wake up only to hear the King of Pop is no longer with us..... A BIG loss for this world...

Michael Jackson, 'the King of Pop' as he is rightly called.. has died... I still can't believe it.. When I heard the news I was like "NO this can't happen..." very shocked. I've grown up listening to his songs, "you are not alone", "black or white" "they don't care about us" are my favorties still... but I guess I had to witness this sad day...

Michael-jackson

We will really miss you MJ! Rest In Peace King of Pop...

Music: N91 vs N91 vs N95 8GB

Well today I decided to do a music test among Nokia's best Music Nseries Devices. I got my friend's N81 and N91, as they are one of the Best music Nseries Devices.

Nokia N91: As we all know this device was Nokia's first official Music Nseries device that came in two versions namely the N91 and N91 8GB. The N91 comes with a 4GB hard disk.

This was the first nseries device to come with a 3.5 mm. slot for headphones.

It has volume keys on the side and the music keys(play/pause, stop, backwards,forwards) on top of the 'actualy keypad.

I've used standard Nokia headsets that is the 'AD-54' that I got with my N95 8GB. The sound quality on the N91 is very impressive. It can give a good fight to many of the music players in the market. The sound was extremely clear and the volume was really good.Also speaker sound quality was good enough. Music on this phone is a really good experience plus we it has wi-fi. But there are many drawbacks of this device. First of all is the device design. The phone is really too BIG and heavy for pockets and to carry around. Secondly is the SLOW user interface. The device is way too slow to use and when it comes to the 'start-up' of the 'music player' it just takes a serious amount of time to load the music on the device.

But I must say that being a quite 'old' device, its music and sound qualities are just too good!

Nokia N81 : Most people say this device is a successor to the N91 in terms of music quality. Well yes this can be called the successor to the N91 and more exciting that this phones is an all together better and 'SMALLER' package compared to the N91.

This device also has the same Music keys like on the N91. Its a much more smaller and lighter phone compared to N91. User -interface is obviously fast and smooth and just flows nicely!

But the main problem was that the music sound quality on the N91 was slightly better than the N81 ! shocking! though the volume was almost the same on both the devices, somehow the sound quality was better on the N91. In an earlier post (you can read it here) I had tried out the music on the N81 and I found that it was quite good and even beat the N95 8GB for music qualities on headsets, but today I was shocked to find out that it wasn't as good as the N91. Speaker sounds are almost same as the N91. But I must say that the N81 is a very good package. A neat and small device with N-gage and wi-fi connectivity. Also the N81 comes in the 8GB version that is the N81 8GB, so you can have more space for music.

Nokia N95 8GB : The N95 8GB maybe an 'all in one' device but the sound quality and volume isn't that good when compared to the N91 and N81. This is surprising, I mean why doesn't Nokia make thier similar devices have same sound quality etc. ? the music keys are placed at the top and the slide needs to be slided downwards to see them (we all know this)

But its not that disappointing also, I mean its not hat bad its good enough! The speaker volume on the N95 8GB is the highest among all 3 phones. We all know when all the technical speciafications are compared the N95 8GB stands on top of all the 3. But it qould be really nice to have N91 sound capabilities on the N95 8GB.

So as we see even though being for quite a long time in the market the N91 has a better sound quality among nearly all nseries devices I guess (cause i haven't heard music on N82, if you have please let me know!) Please let me know about your Music experience!

It would be really nice to have better sound quality integrated onto latest Nseries devices like the N96, N85 and N79 etc. Music on Nseries has improved a lot, and I hope it improves even more further in the future. With Music store and Internet radio and other stuff Music on Nokia is a really good experience!

P.S. :The photo is taken by a Nokia 6300 (sorry for the bad quality I didn't have a better devices to take it at that moment)

Sony Ericsson W902, a competitor to the Nokia N95 8GB ?

Well last night I was browsing the internet for new phone releases and related stuf, and I found this amazing device! yes the Sony Ericsson W902 is a very good competitor to the Nokia N95 8GB for its technical specifications. This walkman phone comes with a 8GB memory card and also has a 5 megapixel camera.

you can watch the product video below

Sony Ericsson W902

the phone technical specifications are as follows:

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Screen- 240x320 pixel- 262.144 color TFT
Memory- Phone memory 25MB*- Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) support
* Actual free memory may vary due to phone pre-configuration.
Networks- GSM 850- GSM 900- GSM 1800- GSM 1900- EDGE- UMTS 2100- HSDPA
Available colours- Volcanic Black - Wine Red - Earth Green
Possible limited market availability.
Sizes- 49.0 x 110.0 x 11.7 mm- 1.9 x 4.3 x 0.5 inches
Weight- 99.8 gr- 3.5 oz
Please note that local variations may apply.

well this is possibly the first time that sony ericsson has 'integrated' the 'walkman' and 'cybershot' qualities into one device! the phone is said to be released later this year. Sony have come up with the slogan 'I REBORN MUSIC'.. well that is certainly true. Previews say that the phone has the 'BEST' sound quality on earphones BUT the major set-back is that you have to use the tradtionaly pop-port connector for your headset instead of a 3.5mm pin headset.

Also the phone comes with a 8GB memory card so you can store more music and media on it.

Well I consider it a worthy competitor to the Nokia N95 8GB on the grounds of technical specifications. but the real phone has yet to be reviewed so we cannot say as of now as to which phone is better. Yes the N95 8GB comes with GPS and other cool features, but the W902 is a really good device for Sony Ericsson lovers out there ! ;)

So you decide!
