I hope this isn`t just a marketing trick to make people pre-order their phones in those stores. Although it would have been very nice to see P1i out in July, thats not so far away  |

July sounds like a good date.
the problem is, you need the retail phone shops to get it as soon as july starts....

loco, we should open a guess thread so anyone can post a randomly date. but if you ask me, it's useless. maybe if you give a prize to the one who guesses?

I will hazard a guess that we wont see it on the networks sales pages before November ? December as I suspect the networks may well take some convincing as to the reliability & suitability of the P1 they have longer and more stable memory's than "SE" would like"
T-Mobile told me they were going to offer the P990i but withdrew from offering it due to all the problems associated with it! They will not rush to get the P1 until it has proved it's self to be stable.
PLUS I belive Nokia have something very special up their sleeve, I have a good mate high up in Nokia in Finland and he "nearly let something slip" when I was discussing the P1 with him, so I for one will NOT be surprised when they up the ante in a big way and if I can smell something cooking so can  they cannot afford to run the risk of another P990i balls up.
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot. |

Morning,
If O2 are saying July then this seems fairly plausible.
Fundamentally the software isn't that different to the P990 + bug fixes and if you look through the forums, lots of people are saying the R5 firmware for the P990 makes the device a lot more stable and usable.
Remember the P990 was a total replacement for the P910, going from UIQ2 to UIQ3, Symbian 7 to 9 ... everything was different, no backwards compatability, apps needed to be rewritten, etc ...
From a software point of view, the P1 is more bug fixing and polishing than revolutionary, so if have finally got something a bit more stable then there's no reason to think they launch will be seriously delayed.
Of course I reserve the right to be proved wrong  |

Because o2 thinks July is something that happens in August, and August in September and so on.
If o2 get it in July wouldn't it come out as unbranded/unlocked a few weeks before, June? |

In Germany, the P1i will bei launched in then first week of August. This is said by a guy from S/// in this video (it's in german).
According to him, the price will be 699€! This is very much, i think, it's around 100€ more than the rumored price.

Okey people, the last news I got today from my Sony Ericsson source is launch in Sweden week 30. That means the last weak in July and its decided.
He aslo said that his prototype of the P1i has been turned on for a whole month in a row without any restarts or error. Camera is exactly the same as K800 and the battery last much longer then the P990i.
Its really a stable software thats in it now, fast and reliable.
gaaah hope its week 30 soon....
