PeterKay, which phone would you prefer, P1i or W960i?
I'm really trying to decide between these two since by the time I'm buying it, these two will be my choices. I played P1i before, but how much is it different with W960i in terms of usage(interface, quickness, quality, sound volume). Thanks for your opinion! |

W960i miles ahead, terms of quality, build material, performance, Memory, loudness, overall looks, new keys and speed of device.
P1i is good but lacks the big memory and  function.

Can the photo LED light be turned on and used as a flashlight, ala the w850i?.... Or are we going to have to download some third party app (like I had to with my K800, in order to use it like a flashlight?) I love that function, it's very useful....
How do you play games? Someone in an other forum mentioned using the scroll wheel for playing games on the P1i, or are you limited to the numeric keypad (do the Walkman soft keys play into the equation while playing Java games?)? Sounds extremely awkward to me if you have to use the scroll wheel (yet, not as awkward as the K850i's D-pad....)... Are there currently any Symbian UIQ3 games that support stylus input like the Gameboy DS?..... That would be neat and a total boon for Sony....
How do you rate songs?... Is it anything like an ipod's?
I honestly thought that the trim was iodized aluminum or something close to that, from all of the pre-release photos that I've seen.... It's now obviously white plastic (thanks for the great photos that helped clear that up btw!). Is it smoth plastic or a pourous plastic (like the kind that'll hold dirt?)? Do you see it getting very dirty? Hard to clean and keep white? I plan on taking it to the gym with me if I get one, so I'd like it to stay clean and white if it's at all possible. Thanks!

To be honest the phone does not get dirty very easy!!
Had it for over a week and no dirt on the white trim, no dirt on the Camera lens and the screen is still clean.
I have not used any pouch or case throughout my tests.
The Flash light does not stay on, no app for it yet!
It is handy to have i must admit.
The rating of the audio track is just something that you choose yourself in the player, rate it between 1 & 5 stars to your preference.
The mood option is a nice touch by  looks very nice and make you want to look at the screen more and more! Brilliant addon to the player.

Peter, how do you play moble games on the phone?..... I love mobile phone games! I have a huge collection in QVGA resolution Jave games, and I'm looking forward to taking them over with me into either a 8GB N95 or W960i... However, I'm extremely apprehensive about buying a mobile with out a D-pad. The idea of having to play games on numeric pad sucks....

I don't really have any links to any games.... Sorry. I was more concerned with how you physically play the games on a phone like the W960i since it lacks a D-pad, is all... I'm pretty sure you have to use the number pad for all gaming input, however that sounds like it'll suck (I'm spoiled after using nothing but Sony non-smart phones that have either had a joystick or D-pad for gaming up until now).
On another totally different note, does the W960i have a smart search function application? I just recently read that the new 8GB N95 will come pre-installed with a smart search for finding things stored on the phone and on the internet (I'm sure similar to the google search bar on a pc or something). Does it even have a smart search function in the phone book folder (like the new K850i)?... What about Flash Lite Themes? Does the phone support them?... Thanks!

Peter, does the touchscreen function accommodates only the walkman menu or everything else? Thanks. |

It does have an enhanced search as well as TrackID. More is explained on the Esato Product Page
