I was swayed by the P1i and W960 - but with SE not supporting Macs it's a major downer for me.
I am tempted to get one even though it has only EDGE, and then either sell it when the 3G versions come out. Hopefully common sense will prevail. 
By the way, Nokia is fully committed to supporting Mac products.

Nokia are great at supporting Macs. But I own an N95 and can't wait to get rid of the paper-weight. It's possibly the sh1test "phone" I've ever had.
Sapporobaby, I'm guessing you're in the US right now? Otherwise iphone will be useless to ya. Or do you have a way of un-locking the thing

Cheers mate,
Nope, in Finland but am American with an American version MacBook Pro. I too have the N95. Wait for the new f/w upgrade. My friends at Nokia tell me they have fixed mucho. This should make it the phone that it was supposed to be. Regardless, once the iPhone reaches Europe, I am getting one. When the N95 is working, it is the best phone I have ever used, however, when broken, it is pure crap.

N82(YES), iPhone 3G, Shure es530, Nikon D300, more stuff. No more SE stuff, why am I still here? |

I'm currently going through all hell with Nokia.
I'm on my 6th handset and am still having problems with it. And these aren't little quibbles like many have been complaining about (wobbly slider, key presses not sounding right etc) but problems with severe earpiece distortion, severe high pitch noise from screen (to point where I can't stand to have long conversations on the phone), constant crashing... the list goes on dude.
I can't tell you too much about what is going on between me and Nokia right now - but when/if everything gets sorted out I'll let you know how smack bang out of order Nokia have been to me. You will be shocked. Trust me  Thing that really annoys me most is that even though they have treated me with the least bit of respect I have still been incredibly civil to em.
If Nokia can be 4rsed to sort out my handset soon, I seriously hope they release the perfect firmware soon.

@scouser_75,
That sucks dude. Have you called Nokia Finland? They are quite nice and might be able to sort your problem from here.
As for the announcement, I do not think it is coming. I think it was a hoax. I looked on the Vodfone site: www.vodafone.de and saw nothing.

Thanks for the advice dude.
I've written Nokia Finland a letter. I'm hoping to hear from them soon. Hopefully they're a lot better, friendlier, and courteous than Nokia UK.
As for the hoax - what a bu**mer! As I mentioned in a previous post - probably some sad geeks with nothing better to do with their lives  |

Looks like we got screwed there was no announcement.
Gizmodo had it spot on. I still may get the iPhone though. I have a family member that retired from AT&T. I can get a "management" discount and a pay as you go account so I do not have to pay the 2 year subscription. Granted it will not have telephony access here in Europe but it will have wifi, and iPod functionality and the rest. Sort of like a better Nokia N800.
