I'm like a few here it seems, this will almost certainly be the next phone for me. It solves my issues with the P910 a little smaller, better ie usable camera, easier one handed.
BUT I'll wait, I got one of the 1st P910s because the software was already out there. Unless the Hermione can run my existing apps I'll have to wait until they are available for UIQ3. Buying a phone like this and just using the built in apps is only half the story. There are at least 15 apps I'd need to be available B4 I could make the switch.

For a phone like that to keep me interested, it also needs several factors:
1. Good office and productivity tools -> Free!
2. Good games (now we have a 3D accelerato chip!)
3. Good music/video player, with good codecs (AVI, MPG, DivX and OGG Vorbis please!)

as I said, there are loads of things I dislike.
The stupid thumb board that is not practical (i'd prefer a larger screen)
The lack of a scroll wheel (that was my favourite thing!)
and
The UGLY back (which looks like a lower end SE phone)
*sighs*
I'll only buy this because I loved my P900 and P910 (p900 more) and I had to switch because I'm with three.
I guess if it came in glossy white it'd presuade me even more.
Oh well... SE couldn't always win my heart.
edit: I noticed the description says jog dial to three ways. What ever that means ( I assume he means 5 way not 3 way)
If that tiny little bulge on the left side which is more to the middle of the phone rather than the top is the dial then they've seriously made an error.

@_LAU_, Dude you forgot to request MP3 support! Ogg Vorbis should take 3rd seat request behind it and AAC.
That Motorola MPx that you posted on the last page is a dead device; released in limited quantities and PULLED from Motorola as the contract for manufacturing it by Chi Mei didnt produce quality products. Most people that have it have prerelease models; this is worldwide. Moto's top device right now is either of the current 3 Linux smartphones or even the upcoming BlackBerry fighter the Q - imagine a Razr with 1.3MP cam, MiniSD hotswap slot, and Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone Edition, and almost just as slim.
I love the qwerty in this P950, if thats its official name, but its implementation I dont like; 3 keys on the sidewall edge, 6 in total. These keys look like their raised on the side edge of the device just on the rim. |

Prom1,
The Mpx is a dead device, but people have seen the other prototype (we call it P1000), usualy compare it to MPx, so expect a device with a keyboard that changes format from portrait to landscape.
SmashHy,
The other phone is a one-handed based device, Nokia 6630 style.

@amnesia
3way jog dials do exist. J70 was the last to have them. You won't lose too much functionality with a 3-way when compared to a 5-way, and most important of all is the scrolling will still be lightning fast.
I don't want a signature anymore. |

nooooooooo, the screen, its so smallllllll, damn, and why r ppl so happy that the qwerty keypad is ON the set's body?? If this is what they really wanted, then they should've have skipped the p series altogether and gone for (cr_p lookn) palm-treos.. |

m0hammad,
In case you never noticed, the flip cover part of the screen, that's why looks small. |

_LAU_, yes u are right the flip part does cover part of the screen, however it is a small part and in general the screen size is smaller than the P910i size....
cheers |
