I think its a matter of tastes... w960 for multimedia and p1 for business. Its just like w950 vs m600 
Actually it's quite different IMO - this time around they're both well equipped with extras like wifi and camera (and I don't believe the video recording is any different, not that it would make any difference to me if it was) and fairly equal on the multimedia front - the P1 even has an FM radio, which is something the W950 definitely had over the M600.
It really comes down to how much value you put on the Walkman player over the standard media player in the P1, and of course the 8gb storage (although that can of course be added to the P1 - 8gb M2 sticks must be just around the corner). The bluetooth headset is another sweetener for the W960, but that too could be added to the P1, while it's not so easy to graft a full qwerty keyboard onto the W960... other than that it's all in the styling, and personal taste.

I am keen on both devices, but the W960 is begining to edge in front (I cannot stand that awful sudo qwerty keyboard  have decided to burden the P1 with) and 8gb storage is top of my essentials list.
But having seen the YouTube clip the W960 does not seem to be the fastest kid on the block (bit like an early P990i) so i would have to see if that is just a proto problem or not.
The P1 looks better and seems to have good specs
looks like october will be a fun time for choosing phones
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot. |

P1 for me. Looks better and is a touch smaller (although a little fatter).
A 4GB card is plenty big enough for my needs.
Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

Well W960 isn't that fast but the reason it looks slow in the u-tube videos is that the animations/transition are turned on... The P990 still feels slow with animations on... |

The W960's certainly had me thinking, but I'm edging closer to my first choice - the P1 - again. Having used the M600 for months I know that the "pseudo qwerty" keyboard is probably the best thing SE have come up with in years, and on balance I think it's a must-have for me now - I've been spoiled for standard keypads.
Aesthetics aside, the one functional thing which divides the two phones, when you come down to it, is that keyboard...

yes looks like i like the w960 better aswell even though i have never used a walkman phone before......
i have always used the smartphones from SE, the 910, now the 990 and before the smartphones i had the k800i, t610, and the t68i...
before the w960i was announced i was definately gonna buy the p1i without any doubts, but now i think it might just be worth the wait to get the w960 instead!

WE KNOW!!! and if you read the posts carefully you will see we are making the point that we would have to wait and see if the problem is prototype related or if the problem continues into production models

@nitro
i may have come across a little rude the way i said that, sorry  guess i could have put it more politely. how ever, i did read all posts, noticed one or 2 saying something about its speed, but they didnt mention anything bout it being a proto that could be causing the slowness.

Fair play, my response was supposed to be tounge in cheek so no offence taken I am sure. that does look like a nice phone though doesnt it would suit me down to the ground, and I have two upgrades due whoopie!!

What I plan on doing is getting them as soon as someone like SE-Unlock can unlock and reflash them, that way I get generic phones for nothing more than what I pay SE-Unlock. Cant see the point in paying anyone top dollar when most of the time I have to spend hours of my very valuable time updating them just to get them to do what it says on the tin!

Thank god the first phones to enter Norway are NEVER branded, also, the longest contract period legal in Norway is 12 months. Mine ended in late May so I'm good and ready for something new. Hopefully something that can replace both my K800 and M600.
The P1 seemed like the best choice, I love the keyboard! But I'm having serious issues with the speed of my M600. If the P1 and W960 are as slow as the M600 I wouldn't have one if you threw it at me.
