Have you checked the UIQ presentation at the Symbian Show ? It can be downloaded at UIQ.com news section. Instead of showing something new that might attract some other manufacturers they, made a mess about advantages of touchscreens, including screenshots from Nokia 5800 phonebook with S60 Touch interface !!!. This means 2 things:
1: they are really pathetic or
2: they are already working for the "dark side" read Nokia
My only hope for us the fans is that at some point they will make available the source code so that skilled enthusiasts may modify the OS as we want. Or in some part of the world somebody installs Windows mobile on the beautiful hardware of P1i. |

That is unfortunate that incompetence and ignorance has killed that beautiful interface.

what if we all started buying the P1, G700/900, W960 then SE would see that their is still alot of current intrest in UIQ phones, and that they are making profit from it.
A big boost in sales of those devices might change their minds.
What you say guys?

N97 is nothing special at all. So-Lo function isn't really innovation.
And the phone it self is nothing special.
X1 is WM, which is far from user friendly and stable, they can't even go above 65k screens.
Undo the damadge, if we can all make sure 5people buy a UIQ phone before the end of Q1 09 then we should be able to boost sales enough for SE to notice.
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA |

All the user reviews I've seen say just the opposite. WM became stable and reliable. And quite flexible. To be honest, I don't see WM as so bad as you describe guys. As for X1, it's not sad - it's a great piece of a smartphone.
To boost the sales which would influence any SE strategy, would be like 1 milion devices more sold to people. C'mon.... |

i think WM was stable, it was just the branding rubbish that sellers installed that buggered things up. if you by a HTC device with no O2, virgin, orange crap installed, they are pretty good. |

hi,
About the sells boost: does anybody knows how much units of P1 (and other UIQ3 devices) was sold so far? Just curious to compare with other smartphones... |

i own a wm device and those devices are really something. very stable and reliable. even after some time they are still better than other os. so for me i think x1 would be ok as a smart phone. as for the n97, i dont see much os difference except that it is touch screen. so lets just see how things unfold. |

Hi ares,
I tried the X1 yesterday it is NOT going to do much for  in my opinion, WM is and old OS due for replacement cant see the point of it.
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot. |

My next device will be the Nokia 5800, I hate to have to say it!!! but seems Nokia are developing some nice stuff at the moment, their N97 is what the X1 should have been
