The trend is to use a 3:rd part OS in your phone because you can never by yourself create a far better OS then the all the other manufactures together, and maintaining a OS cost a lots also.
Except for IPhone, they cheated and migrated a well proven OS from the computer market to the phone market. That's the reason why they are doing cash, not for their phones are bad, but for their OS is great.

no one questioned its ability to playback video. what was said was that it cannot RECORD video, please.
the iPhone is not a capable device, its phone service is not even that great, ie reception, call volume, is damn near unforgivable.
also remember when it came out ppl were shelling out 600$ usd to get one, just as a status symbol, when they dropped the price and lowered the price/barrier of entry that status fell, i dont think that ppl were upset that they lost their money (they made that decision already) they were upset that they lost exclusivity of their precious toy. it had nothing to do with economies of scale, it was a company abusing a false hype, they created.
the fact that you have to pay to have your mp3s turned into ringtones on a phone whose orgins are proximity sensor deep in an ipod.
the processor, memory (not storage), screen are all great.
i didnt say the multitouch, thats a licensed technology.
also Apple is NOT, i repeat THEY ARE NOT an OEM, by NOOOOOOO stretch of the imagination, they contract their assembly and every part of their devices come from 3rd parties. they have no manu plants.
aesthetically its unpleasing. the w960 looks like a phone works as a phone, it just needs a memory expansion slot, HSDPA/HSUPA, denser pixel arrangement, More colors (16mill), larger screen 3.0" bravia (which we know they have!)

I will not go personal on you as you did. ok?
so to be more objective, are you saying the iPhone is a bad phone because it can't record video? And because thy didn't invent their touch screen? And because their OS isn't OEM:ed?
You have to be kidding.
In what way did SE invent the UIQ when they bought it? None.
In what way did SE OEM retailed UIQ? None (except one lousy Motorola phone)
About that video part, come on man.. it also missing GPS, A2DP, iPV6, HSDPA/HSUPA, 13 MPixel camera, 600 GB of storage, 3D hologram projector, Cell processor.. the ONLY thing w960 got that iPhone doesn't is support for European Network, the iPhone is for US market (so you can say w960 is missing EDGE, does it makes w960 to a bad phone? no).
The price? Well... you are comparing a rumor with a fact, SE w960i WILL cost about 600 Euro. try www.inwarehouse.se and search for w960.
As for the ringtone part, sure that sux. I agree. |

Hello!
My deepest concern about this phone is the memory management!
I had a P990 when it first came out and until about 2 months before the p1 was released. If i started for example the browser, contacts and mp3 player the phone would restart. The memory in the P990 was really a nightmare and im really afraid of buying the w960 just because of that!
How is the w960 dealing with multitasking? I hope its better. A lot better! |

Well if we use the p1i as an example of the w960i i can tell you that the memory has been great. I can have 10 or 15 diffrent apps open the music player blasting all while i text a message out. And from everything ive read on the reviews its handled multi tasking beautifully! |

I just bought a T650i, but i'm REALLY tempted to get a W960i
What sort of price do you guys reckon it will be around March/April time, or is the K1i actually going to be produced?? Because i want to see that before making a decision.
