@doministry, my P1 arrived today. I must say the extra RAM makes a huge difference but apart from that I find the P1's design inferior to that of the P990. Two things that bother me are the keyboard and the menu design. Why on earth would SE move those buttons to the top of the screen? It's definitely more difficult to use one handed; and the screen lock button, I wasn't aware I used it so much  I guess iPhoneLock will have to do
Guys, I did consider waiting for HTC Touch Pro but it will probably be available here around new year and the fact that it is WM and will be quite expensive for some months meant the P1 (used, half price and 1.5 years warranty left on it) was the logical choice. I will probably use it until close to the end of the warranty then see what is available.
X1 is not a choice for me, I will just observe what is said in the forums about X1 and form my opinion on that. |

The x1 panels look very fluid from recent youtube videos. The camera Ui is more Sony Ericsson than the uiq version. Might end up being a good choice. Its one of the few phones that has everything from little things like metal construction, fm radio and led torch to hsupa, gps and VGA capture.
But yeah you're right it is still Wm but at least we get MSN built in. |

Have you seen g900 camera interface? Its uiq and 'more SE', and has touch focus.
Makbil, i use p1 one handed perfectly, its far more usable than p990 without flip
Doministry g900 has wifi b AND g, check your facts straight. And you can bet the camera is much better than any htc

makbil correct, currently i use P990, i would never buy p1(imo u should have got already available e71
htc touch diamond or e90) if u were definitely in need a of new phone.who knows u might like them.may
be u could given it a try.Basically P1 is not much of improvement compared to p990, u might get bored
with ur p1 soon.
imo it has many drawbacks
Horrible red casio calculator like keypad.(cool and pleasant backlighting on P990:) )
no dpad
no keylock
No lens cover
No dedicated call end button
not a great camera compared to P990
Missed call indicator located at better position compared to P1[edit]
overall P990 designs seems to be superior
@ boybawang,
its better to type, no complaints here
(as i said imo) But why does it look so horrible, with red keypad backlight. and keys look like those in casio calculator
P990 has better keypad looks & back lighting is also very cool with light violet & blue (definately looks amazing in dark)
And i also feel the overall look & material complements well in P990

Yeah. Have you seen the x1 camera Ui? Its everything the Uiq version wanted to be.
Have a look at a youtube walkthrough of the x1 by ocworkbench (camera Ui at 04:15). Touch focus included! |

Mizzle, t650 is its true update.
Everything after that is just for marketing (and SE needs that a lot after the disastrous last quarter)

Sorry, I didn't express myself properly. Didn't mean "update". The correct term would probably be "re-make".

@Mizzle
A sequel to the T610 story sounds fantastic! I lost mine a few months ago.
The specs should be very interesting. I still see people using T610s, it is a very popular phone.
What have you got for us Miz? Any more info yet?
