I am sure I want my flip off as well. I had that on my P900 with some virtuel keyboard software. This is much better.

Flip off for me too, just like with my p910.
On another thought, does anyone know whether there will be any of these screen protectors available at the time of the release? I mean size-cut ones just like we have for the current phones. It'd be a shame to scratch the brand new screen on the first week or so :)

I have liked my P910 with the flip on since I am pretty good with the keyboard and trying to use the virtual flip with my fingers never worked well. But I think I will also prefer the P990 with the flip off because it has the keyboard on the phone and it just looks better that way. I wish I actually HAD the phone so I could know for sure. Too bad it looks like I will never know when it is coming. I know so many people here have lots of connections with SE, so if anyone has the slightest idea or hint of an availability date, please post what you know. There hasn't been any new info from SE on this phone in forever, so I need something to keep me going .
And here's a fun idea: we can start a pool of everyone guessing what the official release date will be! And the winner gets a brand new P990!!! Only problem is I don't know who will do the funding for the prize...anyone want to volunteer?

I think it will be much faster...
I saw a Ericsson movie (http://www.ericsson.com/solutions/enterprise/library/multimedia/mobile_sales.wmv) (video size 59 Mb) The phone is allready showing up (in the end) I think the phone is ready, but (SE) still experiencing production problems or software development problems (stability, battery life etc improovements) |

They should release a 'beta' version, like a software release, so that all you eager beavers can help them find the bugs! |

Yes, it would be nice if they released anything for us "eager beavers," especially if it was the actual phone! Anyway, I am throwing in my vote for release date. I will go with February 8th.

I think there is no way it will be February and this speculation does seem a tad pointless really.
Its also strange to remember all the previous anticipation and impatience for new phone arrivals and then those same people are upset when problems are found
I must admit I am one to get things ASAP! too but having seen the P990 and the number of reboots that were required for my short viewing etc etc I think it best to give  all the time they need to get it as right as possible!

Just to point out, i do know it's pointless. But then again, it would be a good feeling if i got it spot on.
I'm thinking i will probably wait for it to come out, be fully spread in the UK so it starts going for a descent price, then buy one. Hopefully by this time firmware issues will be ironed out, and i won't get ripped off.
The first batch of all Brand new SE phones in the UK seem to go for rediculous prices... I bet someone will get hold of some of these before release and they will sell regularly for £800-£1000....Madness.

It's not pointless speculating...it gives us something to do while we wait for the phone. And by the way, I am not one of the people that ever complains about a phone's glitches. I would much rather have the phone and deal with the problems and do firmware updates. But I guess I understand that SE doesn't want to release a buggy phone because some people will complain and it will damage their reputation.

Well, it's only a few days until the reputable/reliable Howard Forums marketplace vendor gets their p990s in (according to their post). This vendor is in the Toronto area (no physical storefront).
So we shall find out shortly.
Another vendor in the Toronto area with a storefront has the p990 for preoder:
SNtradersonline
They seem reputable, I gave them a call and the p990 is coming in at the end of this week. If I have time, I will visit their store to see the phone in person - early next week.
edit: link fixed

Sorry W_I_P, but you've been whipped!
Reputable right? Toronto ... I live in Toronto and I can sure promise you No True reputable store that offers sell phones will promise you that its going to be available BEFORE the w810i debuts.
BTW the site doesnt exist
