Ok guys, now since we have both the phones announced, what are differences between the 2, leaving apart the obvious ones.i

Pros for P1i -
The brilliant Qwerty keyboard (and it really is good)
Pros for W960 -
Slightly smaller/lighter
Walkman player (as opposed to generic music player on P1i)
8GB storage
Bluetooth headphones in kit
On the face of it, it's a clear win for the W960, but in reality it'll come down completely to individual taste, and what they need from the phone. For instance the P1i may not have much built in storage (let alone 8GB) but it does have expandable memory, which some may prefer. The proper keyboard will also be a lot more attractive to serious emailers/business users.
The styling of the two phones is very different too, and that again is a matter of subjective taste.
Personally, I'm actually quite torn - I love my M600 and its keyboard so the P1i was an obvious choice before, but I do like the W960's style. I guess price and availability may well decide it for me in the end.

difference between two phones would be around 4-5 months.  |

now i prefer a w960 instead of p1 although, if w960 doesn't have 128 ram, it's under the question mark.
let alone if w960 has 128 ram or not, it has 8gb memory, walkman 3.0, music buttons on sides, both have 3.2mp camera w/ af...

yes, but the phone on the video is not the final product, it will be going through many changes and by then it should be working fine, definately better than the 990

the developer site confirmed that this phone has same amount of RAM as P1 and at the same time has additional 160Mb internal shared memory from the whooping 8Gb it has 
i found this thread quite funny and unique, this is the first time i saw an SE to SE comparison. not the traditional Nokia vs SE

4GB M2 card is only 40GBP... and will drop. I don't care too much about the built-in 8GB in the W960. The missing HSDPA is the real turd.

When looking at the both phones I like the W960 more . After all I am addicted to Walkman phones and I like it's design too . Don't mention the high memory and other similar "extra" features . But I wonder about the price of the W960. Cuz I'm getting one FOR SURE when it reach the shops in my country.

because you cannot compare 2 things without differences. w960 and p1 are similar but with differences good for someone and bad for others.

imo the one who presents the w960 doesn't know very well how to use the touchscreen
once he tapped the icon in the main menu(the one with 4 circles) and nothing happened and then he pushed the back button....
