Sony Ericsson W910i

Sony Ericsson impresses again with its new monster screened slider phone. The Sony Ericsson W910i is a superslim slide phone.
The most striking feature its large and clear screen. The screen is large, bright and high resolution (240 x 320 pixels) and the menus are clear and simple to navigate. The slide opens smoothly to reveal the full keypad below.

Audio quality is excellent as usual, with SE's MegaBass feature to enhance bass frequencies.
The Walkman music player 3.0 is very easy to use, with controls on the front of the phone, and is a fully-featured digital music player.
The camera is rated at a middle-of-the-road 2 megapixels and lacks autofocus. Images from the 2 megapixel camera are acceptable, and can be accessed through two hotkeys at either side of the phone’s earpiece. M2 memory sticks can be loaded into the side of the phone. It supports Bluetooth and comes with an adapter cable for USB connection.
So, this is a music phone first and foremost, and it ticks all the boxes. The excellent walkman music playback software is included, and can be accessed through a button on the top of the phone as well as through a shortcut in the main menu.

As concerning the battery life, Sony Ericsson claims nine hours of talk time and 350 hours of standby time on a single charge.

Nokia N95

Nokia N95 is a technically advanced smartphone. The Nokia N95 is a 3G smartphone. The first multimedia feature that you encounter is the screen, and it's a massive one: 2.6 inches across, 240 x 320 pixels, and an incredible 16 million colours. It's one of the best screens ever, and does full justice to the camera and navigation systems.
The camera is a first in the UK: the first phone camera to hit the 5 megapixel mark. At this number of pixels, you can (theoretically) match anything that a dedicated digital camera is capable of - provided that you have the optics to back up the megapixel grunt.
The N95 actually has a GPS system built into the phone, that communicates directly with the satellite. This enables you to use the phone to track your position either on foot or in-car. You'll need to buy a license to use the Nokia mapping system though.
Nokia N95 also has a music player with support for all common music formats, a stereo FM radio, integrated handsfree speaker, speaker independent voice dialling, talking ringtones, HSDPA (the fast data transfer technology dubbed "3.5G") and lots more!

When it comes to connectivity, the N95 is the best-connected device in town, with support for Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0, Infrared, Wireless LAN, TV-Out and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Its memory is also more than adequate with up to 160 Mbytes of onboard memory and support for micro SD memory cards up to 8 Gbytes.

Battery life is OK, when you consider how much work has to be done to power this beast, you can't really set your expectations too high.
