@spawn, will the w950i also be having the same genetic defect of lack of ram as the p990i & the m600i???
sorry for goin' off topic people but i'm really looking forward to the w950i & hoping it's bug free.
all inputs are appreciated.

Hard to say but it will run on the same o/s. But as for the same problems that the m600i and p990i are having??...hmmm hard to say...although its highly unlikely that it will be bug free as you put it. Even if it does ship with a few bugs, SE will sort them out via firmware updates. | |

just upgraded from the m600 3 days back and settling in to the P990. i know the firmware issues will get ironed out in time but just a couple of points about the phone's keys and size:
1. Handset seems just too bulky. the whole device seems out of date cause of the size, specially after having used the m600. I know the feature set is greater but the thickness is just too much to justify.
2. The middle 'selection' key has to be the most difficult key to press in the world. You can't use your thumb cause the up or down keys get selected and so u have to use your nails on the thin and slippery plastic, it gets quite uncomfortable.
3. The QWERTY keyboard keys seems very plasticy to the touch and again they start to get uncomfortable after a bit of use.

Cant say the handset is bulky, of course its bulkier than the p990i...anyone with half a brain cell can see that 
I have absolutely no problems with the middle menu button and i dont have to use my fingernail to press it and i have quite big hands and fingers...im 6'5 in height  .
The QWERTY keyboard does feel plasticky but i cant fault it, one of the best features of the p990i in my honest opinion...makes my life a whole lot easier . |

I second that...my friend just can´t believe i´m typing from a phone when using msn from P990, because i´m so fast 
I also have no major problems with the middle button, althogh i agree it could be more easy to press for some people |

Just got my P990i yesterday.
What I can say about P990i is wow, great!
But after a year with smaller device like W800 or K600, although weeks ago I also used M600, yes, I feel P990i a little bit bulky caused of the flip.
Features wise, this is a great phone. I have tried some features such as basic (phone and messaging), internet using Opera, TV streaming and video call using 3G (thanks to just launched 3G network here in Indonesia), and camera.
I just have to be acustomed to the 3-way jog-dial and 5-way navigation control since it's different from my previous P900.
Overall, I really satisfied with this very long coveted smartphone from SE.

@spawn, let me put it this way...the w950i has a 4gb hard disk as we all know...would it still suffer from lack of ram???

yeah but that depends of how much the 4gig will be available for the user and how much will be for the system. |

@ philosophy72 -- Enjoy your new phone!
I must say that I loved the phone when I first got it, and now almost a month later, I am still impressed. It is fantastic! A couple of bugs still need to be ironed out, but nothing that I can't work around. My device has been really stable since the last update. A new update for the M600 just came out, and it sounds like SE have done a good job of speeding it up and making it even more stable, so hopefully this is a sign of good things to come for the P990. I just wish there were more applications available, but I'm sure they will come with time. My HBH-DS970 stereo Bluetooth headset comes tomorrow, so I'm excited to try that out. Here in the US, nobody has such a cool phone (especially college students like me). I get many compliments on the phone, and it deserves them. I think it does exactly what it should and then some. |

@chriswg52
I have a story for you , I think it was end of 2002 and I was at Chicago for a business trip. At that time I had just recently bought my P900 from SE in Istanbul.
So while walking on the Michigan ave. I went into the Hugo Boss shop for buying some clothes. While checking out the winter boots, my P900 started ringing, the ringing sound was a MP3 and it sounded so loud that everybody started looking at me, after finishing my call 3 college guys came up to me and asked me what my phone was, I told them it's a P900, ad they were shocked because they claimed they all just bought the P800 and they weren't even aware of P900. Same day I spotted a huge Sony shop, went in there asked for Memory Stick Duo for my P900, when the guy saw my phone, he was shocked, he said oh my god P900!! how did you get it ? He called for his collegues on the radio and all Sony shop was checking out my P900
So in US, you guys were late getting the latest technology on the sim card cell phones, but now I see that you already caught up with the technology these days too. Keep it up
GH337, GH388, GH 688, SH 888, P800, P900, P910 and now P990i and P1i and HTC Touch Pro |
