 sorry Dups, just realised i wrote "Dips" ,me and on screen QWERTY keyboards are a terrible match, luckily i'm now sorted and have good ol' multitap back via HTC_IME, you can even get a p1 style type on-screen keyboard when you get the Arc.
That would be better to have two different network sims cause when Voda have a bad day they REALY have a bad day, for me it's been their HSDPA which can be so ridiculously slow at times, and hen you got days like yesterday and today where you can watch YouTube with no buffering

@Tsepz_GP
Don't sweat it, mistakes happen.
I'm so used to the P1 keypad that typing is a breeze, I actually type faster and better on the P1i than on the Bold 9700 so it's good to know that I can have that type of a keypad on the Arc. The headache I have right now is that I can't wait for the phone.
Yeah, I think I'm better off with two different networks. I remember back in 2001 Vodacom was out for almost two days nationally after some serious storms and MTN guys were having a field day laughing at us and calling our phones useless with a useless network.
It's good to know that you guys are having no problems with your rooted phones. In fact, it's great that you find them X10s better.

@Tsepz or Hobbs
Tell me, how many volumes and vibrate alerts does the X10 have?
The P990i and P1i have these extremely wonderful volume/vibrate alert settings that I love and use very often and I'm hoping SE hasn't changed that.
You get completely separate volume and vibrate alert options for calls, messages, emails and alarms.
When I'm really, really tired before going to bed at night I turn off message sounds and their vibrate alert leaving only for calls. This is very helpful. Basically, I can turn either the volume or the vibrate alert or both of calls, messages, emails and alarms.
Another question, does the Android market have an application to limit who calls you. The P1i comes with an option called 'Accept calls' where I choose who comes through when they call, everybody not on that list is rejected. This is an old Ericsson feature that I use every night when I go to sleep, only family gets through when I'm sleeping.
Thanks!

LMAO Dups; I've been a good boy, I promise... 
So which sea is Nokia jumping into tomorrow, off their burning platform,...into The Sea of '7' (Windows) or the Android Ocean? I've been reading that it may be the former (i.e. The Microsoft and Nokia Empires Strike Back) but personally I'm hoping it's the latter.

Eish, i'm not sure how i feel about Nokia jumping m WP7 or Android, i also think it will be WP7, but what will differentiate Nokia if they do go with WP as MS have a lot of control over what WP7 manufacturers do, IMO, NOKIA should go all in with Meego/Maemo, and do something creative and different, they have the money and brand recognition, and it will fit in with their "computer in your pocket" idea, they had a good thing with the N900, wish they had produced and supported more Maemo smartphones.
I dont realy like this idea of them trying to fit-in, it makes them look desperate, this could finish them.

Its not about brand Hobbs, i just dont like them joining up with WP7, i think its the easy way out, it would be better if they worked on something new and a bit different, they need to reinvent themselves and IMO, Meego is the way, its even more open and powerful than Android. MS may restrict them too much and they may totaly loose their current users, but who knows, it may just work, its a big risk though.

At the moment I like the design of SE and Android as my OS of choice. Come 2011 who knows it could be Nokia as the design I like best and WM7 as my OS of choice. See what I mean. It doesn't matter.

Tsepz Even if we were stuck on these Froyo ROMs Id be a happy camper. But yeah let's see how the Gingerbread development goes.

@ Tsepz and Hobbster:
Both very valid points made. Perhaps Nokia needed to 'sell' Maemo more to the public, they can't afford to be half-baked with an OS that they already started developing, albeit more powerful, and then petered out with it, not when you've got Android, 7 and IOS being so well-supported and well-established.
The CEO's writ hints heavily that they're gonna jump onto something already established.
Look at  ; dumping their smartphone platform and joining the Android fold has surely been a success story of note? Nokia is of course far bigger and influential, so who knows which route they decide to take..
Isn't HTC owned by Microsoft? How will Nokia joining 7 impact on Microsoft's HTC handset sales? Having said that, HTC seem very quick to churn out new handsets or evolutions of existing ones, and Elop eluded to this as well in his statement..

That's true Wanqs, i didnt consider that, WP already has the developers, app store, office and internet facilities built-in, so it wont cost Nokia too much join, and they wont have to start right from the beginning, not to mention MS control OS updates and internal hardware (Memory chips and CPUs), so it's all there already, it may just work VERY WELL as we all know Nokia make excellent hardware (Camera, RF, display etc...), so it could be a great match.
Htc could be in trouble, but they have such short announcement-to-release periods that they may be a big problem to Nokia, it's going to be very interesting, there's no predicting what will happen.
Windows Phone will be Nokia's primary OS: http://www.allaboutsymbian.co[....]as_new_strategy_and_struct.php

Its a big change Tsepz in the mobile arena and I think we need something out of the ordinary to excite us again (things are getting a bit boring imo) Microsoft Windows 7 also needs a bit of a liftoff and who better than to fuel the whole thing than Nokia,the Giant.
I'm excited about the marriage

The Nokia developments probably made you guys to miss the above.
I'd appreciate your response.
