have you used the uiq3 browser? I find it slow and cumbersome. the scrolling around pages requires too much work.. i have used the p990i for a two months and found wifi browsing to be impossible! you have to go through so many menus to just switch on wlan as for my dad's e61, just open the web browser in it and it asks to search for wlan, once found, it connects so easily and we are good to go... the speed is also extremely fast and web pages load up very quickly..
anyway this is getting too off topic, i'm just saying that the new user interface of the p5 should have good web browsing capabilities. I haven't used the apple crap so i cannot comment on that.
But i do hope the new uiq4(?) browser is comparable to or even exceeds the s60v3's browser in terms of functionality and speed.

@Tigershark42:
Unlike you, I find the "c" (clear key) very useful and I'd be very displeased if SE removed it from its keypad layout.
I mean, I use it all the time for deleting stuff. And yes, that's its actual puprose - deletion!

s60v3's browser
i think nokia uses opera mini as default browser which is downloadable for sonyericsson phones
Posted by CrazyGuns
nope that would be for the crappy s40 phones such as 6300.
the s60v3 has got inbuilt WEB application which is so extensive and powerful yet so easy to use. It is similar to browsing on a pc it has a mouse cursor that moves with the navi-keys and its very very fast.

Some of the upcoming smartphones this year will have a TV-Out.
The new UIQ4-platform is capable to run even C++ coded applications.
Don't know if sis-file extensions will be supported.
Posted by Mizzle
It's backwards compatible.
Posted by mariozlp
guys opera mini 4 that i use at my k850 is the same as gsm arena shows for e61 you linked
Posted by Tigershark42
the web browser on the iphone is astonishingly good and I'd be pleased if the P5i had a browser which was half as good as safari on the iphone
Posted by Tigershark42
Mizzle, do you think P5i will be released at a good time so that it will include Opera Mobile 9 Web browser? The web browser has a few months of beta testing to go yet, but it would be great if this was the case.
Posted by Mizzle
@Tigershark
Am not sure, but I sure hope OM 9 will be featured on it.
Posted by CrazyGuns
the one used in e61 is not Opera Mini god it is symbian os browser built into the phone! opera is there for s60 but it is different from the symbian browser!
that is not opera!
Posted by bavlondon2
Yeah the S60 browser is much better. imo its the best once other than safari on iphone and thats probably becasue its based on iphones safari's script.
Opera would be the next best though.

More hype than with iPhone, huh?? Only difference is that this one will live up to the hype.

you can say that again Miz

Sorry, I got caught in action
Either way, as people have been asking.. It shouldn't be too big.
Posted by dr_thug
If its that big,then it(also the upcoming iphone competition) should be announced by non other than Howard Stringer and Ericsson CEO...not just SE ceo.
This will promise more media coverage.
Posted by Tigershark42
...that has nothing to do with anything
BTW congrats on the W960i Mizzle
I was seriously considering getting it instead of waiting for the P5i. But I will wait until its announced and then I'll be able to make a good decision. Just don't tell me how awesome it is Pls! 
Enjoy[ This Message was edited by: Tigershark42 on 2008-01-20 22:31 ]

according to gsmarena's review on w960
The Sony Ericsson W960 comes equipped with the Opera 8.0 Web browser, which has made a reputation as one of the best in mobile devices. It supports HTML, XHTML, JavaScript, frames, CSS, and TSL and SSL security protocols. It's not on par with the Nokia web browser but it surely renders pages fast enough and offers rich view options.
its good but not as good as s60's which is exactly what i was saying all this time.
Posted by S4k1s
Sry but that last concept fail.
If P5 is UIQ3.1 then it has 3 softkeys and no back button.
Posted by Tigershark42
It isnt. Its UIQ4. Please pay attention.
Posted by cristiano
why there's no pic of P5 from the back?
it's the ease part

So you are saying that UIQ3.1 has no separate back button, but UIQ4 has one? You know this for a fact? Also you know for a fact that it will run UIQ4?
Posted by m-one
UIQ3.1 is for non-TS UIQ devices. So please stop this non-sense discussion.
Posted by Tigershark42
No, I was saying I don't care about UIQ3.1 because that is irrelevant. If you would have read even a few pages of this thread you would have known that we are all expecting the P5 to use UIQ4. End of discussion.
Posted by bavlondon2
So does anyone actually have inside info that the P5 will be announced at 3GSM or is it just pie in the sky speculation like always?
Posted by doministry
Noone knows.
Or rather - some people know but won't say on forum, I think.
Posted by Mizzle
@bav
Let's just say, that if it doesn't get announced at Mobile World Congress (3GSM), my mum is Chinese (which she's not!).
Posted by gola
i think we just found out who that someone is,might even be chinese(which he's not)

Posted by Mizzle
@tigershark
It's ready.
Posted by Tigershark42
THe P5i is ready? As in done with testing altogether? How do you know that? Why didnt you say so earlier?
Posted by Mizzle

@PeterKay
Check it
Posted by Tigershark42
Although I admire your attitude, this is a RUMOUR thread, and Im only here because I want to know whether I should wait or get a W960
Posted by Mizzle
Get a W960 and then this one
Posted by Tigershark42
If only I had that kind of money
I hope the P5i by some luck wont be as expensive as I think it probably will be. I estimate it will be around 500 GBP if its as good as is claimed.
Posted by m-one
@Tigershark
I was talking to S4k1s
Cos he's kinda convinced about P5i having UIQ3.1 [ This Message was edited by: m-one on 2008-01-21 23:07 ]
Posted by Tigershark42
lol, I know that, not bright...
Posted by MYB87
say its ready and would be announced soon(3gsm) any estimates on release dates?
Posted by Mizzle
Mid to late summer, I'd say.
Posted by chuksy
I want to believe you mizzle....If its true then cant wait.
When is the 3gsm coming up-Feb?
Posted by Mizzle
10th of Feb, afaik.
Posted by chuksy
cool
Posted by laurenke01
February is so going to rock.
Van Halen on the 4th and SE on the 11th-ish.
Is there any information regarding a few gigs of flash on the P5i, or is that feature being left to the W980i only?
Posted by doministry
@laurenke
It would be a terrible shame to not to see flash support in the most advanced devices, c'mon!
Posted by sealover94
See you at 3gsm guys
...
finished ..

*sigh*... it is so beautiful. So 3 weeks until the supposed announcement. I can deal with that. I guess I have to start saving cause P5 will likely cost at the very least $600 USD, I think. But I certainly won't complain if it'll be cheaper!! Too bad being in the US, even with US 3G support, the P5 probably won't get picked up by any US carrier for at awhile after it's made available. At least my carrier (ATT) won't since they have the contract with Apple already.
The gf was getting angry w/ me for spending so much on a phone. But now she said I can get it. yay. I can't wait!! THIS SUMMER WILL BE THE BEST YET!
