Is my iPod better than any Sony Ericssons Walkman phones?

Is an iPod really that better!

It's put the the test facing the rare Sony Ericsson W550i!

Design:

iPod: 8/10 - Everyone complains about the back of the iPod Videos, They get scratched and smudged very very easily! Definately is a problem considering mine was in it's black case that it came with, But the idea of the Click wheel and the shiny front really appeals to me.

Sony W550i: 9/10 - Very Nice swivel design and works well though, it is a very chubby phone and could of been slimmer!

Sound quality:

iPod: 10/10 - Could not fault the quality, it's just a matter of changing the equalizer in the settings to the right one - Bass Booster rules! :)

Sony W550i: 9.5/10 - Very good, Not many options for the equalizer but Bass Booster is missing :( Still there is MEGA BASS

User Friendly or not?:

iPod: 10/10 - Who would not like the iPod interface! It's very very user friendly! But when buying this at first you will need to get use to the click wheel if you are scrolling down the list of songs one by one, Though after about 3 days you will totally get used to it.

Sony W550i: 10/10 - This too has a very friendly user interface, and there are music buttons on the side to play and stop a song when doing something else on the phone.

Battery life:

iPod: 9/10 - It definately has about 9-10 hours playback atleast - thats good! But the iPod nano 2nd gen has 24 hours playback. Yes i know my iPod has a 30GB hard drive to handle and videos..

Sony W550i: 6/10 - i'm not sure know how many hours playback it has but it definately does 3-4 hours atleast -Due to mobile signals in the house!

That's the end of my iPod VS Sony W550i, So the iPod gets 37/40 and the Sony gets 34.5/40
