@PeterKay
I tried the W950i today... and at the same time the P990i
I prefer the P990i especially with all the added extras.... especially the WIFI feature... i love it..
W950i is decent.... main purpose MUSIC only... Also loosing value quickly just like the M600i did...
P990i is better... it does loads of different things
What you think???
Cheers
 ENJOY

Between the 2 i'd go for the P990i too, plenty of features to keep you entertained and the W950i has no camera which is a down fall. WIFI for me is essential and i am quite surprised at the prices, they are dropping big time!!!!!

I couldn't get on with the keypad on the m600, loved the p990 however just fancied something a little smaller the w950 is perfect for me, the only thing I really miss is vijay singh golf |

tortally agree with ya!
P990i is much more powerful device once all the bugs are ironed out!

Cheers
 ENJOY

Wow many questions!
1. can only play tunes downloaded from a specific source? Or can you just load any MP3 to it? - MP3s, AAC and WMA
2. Is it much slimmer and lighter than the P990? - same size as the M600, so very small and stylish
Does it support push email? - not clear yet, and I don't have a Push email account
is its performance better than the P990? - faster as you can switch-off the transitions and less memory leaks
What is the going price for this device? - no idea about SIM free, but on O2 contract it is UKP99 with a UKP30 monthly line rental (12 month contract)
@smair82
had my W950 for about 4 days and no faults of any kind at all. What is your organiser firmware version?

@Peter and all
Really surprised at that price but then it is on Orange and not Sim free and also i doubt it will have unbranded software but all the lovely things Orange will of done to it. That has to make it worth at least a £100 less IMO.

Hi Peter,
I haven't seen one yet will try and get into an Orange shop tomorrow or Monday as really want to see just how much better the Walkman player is through my HBH-DS970 as i have said i think the sound is excellent through the M600 but need to know. Going by what Orange have done to the P990 icons down the left hand side i would be very surprised if its not the same on this phone as this appears to be Orange's corporate marking on all they phones they can.

Its not a keyboard anyone is familiar with - but use it for 2-3 weeks and you get the hang of it, especially as the keys get broken in and are less stiff. Then by the time you have this phone 3 months, you will not ever want to go back to standard phone keybaord. Honestly.
I am thinking about the P990 because I want a camera but honestly the M600i keybaord is something I will truly miss. |

@W950i owners...
Hi... I noticed that the W950 doedn't let me access the menu even in FLIGHT MODE if the SIM card is NOT present. Screen shows "Insert SIM".
Ideally, as a smartphone it should boot up even without a sim.
Have you noticed this or anything different ?
