What the reviewer meant with "We can't give you a subjective opinion on the browser since it is not the final version, but it looks quite promising."
Was he referring to Opera 9.5? |

i noticed that LAU...its weird
I have prices for final price with taxes here at Portugal: 360 euros for the G900 (includes 21% VAT). This is the price for the unlocked version.
Its really a good launch price...if one buys it on an operator it should be really cheap

That's excellent news. Finally a SE launch price that's not exaggerated. Of course, with that you get no memory card and very basic headphones (HPM-64 according to the WP before it was taken offline). But i guess it's better that way, you can buy the memory card size you like and still end up with a phone at a decent price.
Really wondering what SE will remove from the feature list, now that the WP is offline. My guess is the music player: in the original WP, it said the G900 would have the same music player as the W960, but on all screenshots so far, it looks more like the one onboard the W910, so a little more basic.... too bad. Hope that'll be the only downgrade !

After seeing the preview from Gsmarena.com I feel a bit disappointed in the G900.
Considering it is supposed to be the older brother of the G700, why did it have to come with worse ergonomics (though this is relative) and not to mention no hot swappable memory card?
Eh?

says that it takes an M2 card. Am I misunderstanding what you mean by hot-swappable? |

Well....  I think we can't compare P990/P1 with the G series... Right comparison will be with the X1 (sadly.... with WM)...

Over at allaboutsymbian they point to a youtube video showing a video tour of the G900

What? Are you serious? Of course one should compare the g series price with older uiq3 phones - they share alot of things. What makes no sense at all is comparing them with the x1 |

yeah, G900 shares little with X1 - different market segment, different OS, different tech.

In the demo videos of the G900, SE added a lot of smooth eyecandy screen transitions and effects. I'm sure even a fraction of those effects will badly hurt the P990i despite having thesame processor. I'm sure there's a lot of optimization SE must have applied to the G-series! |

Will the G900 ship with Opera 9.5 as standard?
Also if it really is going to be 350 Euros that will make it cheaper than what the P1 is now. I just cant see it going for that price.

no reason it shouldn't be cheaper than P1. Smaller phone, smaller screen, less complicated keypad.
