Sorry but you are wrong neither the P1 or W960 have HSDPA only k850 will and both are these are still Symbian 9.0. I also agree with Makbil whilst the extra Ram will be very nice it is not the miracle cure IMO that some of you believe either.
I have already said as much as think both of these devices look great the fact they don't support HSDPA and are still using the Nexperia 208mhz chip rules them out for me and also i am less than confident in SE especially after there recent actions.

Has anyone heard whether T-Mobile UK have the P1 scheduled for release, and if so, when?

I was at CommunicAsia on the 19th and played with the P1i. There were two screenfuls of apps running in the background but the interface is still very responsive (just a little short of fluid I guess). The person I spoke to mentioned a mid-August release locally (i.e. Singapore) but did not reveal pricing details.
If there's something bad to be said about the P1i, it's the significantly shorter 0 / spacebar key that's just the standard key size. Having grown accustomed to how I can rest both thumbs on the edges of the spacebar on my Siemens SK65 and now the P990i (coupled with my brief experience on the M600i), there simply isn't enough space on the reduced 0 / spacebar key. If I am going to press it with my right thumb, I'll need to shift my left thumb away (mid-air?) and vice versa. Also, I read somewhere that they are going to make the keys more concave like how it was done in the M600i but this was not the case for the P1i I tested: it is a little flat but still as usable. I would have preferred the M600i's keyboard over the P1i's even though both are functionally similar.
Oh yeah, that P1i firmware I was playing with is R6D22. The models there are branded P1i as well instead of SE123, and the same goes for the System Information screen.

That's what I said. But they are Symbian 9.1 not 9.0. |

A couple of days ago, I spotted a guy using the P1 on a tube in Stocholm. He was constantly looking over his shoulder to see if anyone was admiring his hot toy, but there was only elder people and me (who pretended i didn't care) around. Poor guy.  |

Guys, now that it is official that SE will no longer support the P990 (and M600 & W950), I strongly urge you to reconsider your views on the P1.
It does have the same OS as the P990 and SE Development Manager has clearly stated that they messed up big time with the P990 (that is not his exact words, I translated his response). He seems to sense that they can't fix the problems so SE wants it's users to buy the P1. The P1 is the same cr@p as the P990 but with a nicer package. With SE's track record of support and customer care, the P1 will end up at the same dump as the P990 unfortunately.
Please remember this post when you are stuck with the P1 6 months after you buy it with no support and outdated features.
P990i: A mistake, a curse and a disgrace  So I lowered my expectations and settled for a P1i. I couldn't keep my expectations so low for a long time so now I have an HTC Touch HD |

Some more facts why you shouldn't consider the P1:
SE has pretty much made it clear that they will not provide any further support for the P990 - the same will apply to the P1.
The P1 is using the same OS as the P990 and with the rumors that Microsoft will be buying off Symbian, it's obvious that SE does not see any future with Symbian.
I wish the best of luck to those still thinking about getting the P1, I honestly hope that it doesn't end up like the P990.
