I did, and i am a big fan of SE no doubt about that.

But iPhone's end user feel is completely different. But damn its expensive, but my office is getting me one anyway so i dont have to worry about that.

I already tried SE P1i and i didnt like it very much, because of which I had to switch to Nokia N95.

Help plz.

Thanks.

Was it the interface of the P1i that you didn't like? If you don't like the feel of UIQ 3, then you probably won't like the W960 much either.

Having used both, I have to say I prefer the keypad on the P1i. I find it alot easier to write messages with.

EDIT: For some reason, I read this as a P1i or W960i thread!

I've just gone from using an iPhone to the W960i. Being an avid messager (be it email or SMS) I certainly prefer the keyboard on the iPhone than the keypad on the W960i. Having used pretty much all released UIQ3 handsets, I can do the stylus input, but think "why should I use a stylus, when I can just use my fingers with the iPhone?"

Also, I prefer managing my music and photos in iTunes, rather than the whole drag and drop scenario (personal preference, I'm sure).

As much as I'm an SE handset fan, some things the iPhone just seems to do better for me.

bugs should be fixed with their upcoming firmwares.
Initially all phones have bugs.

W960 is the better phone in terms of hardware but the iPhone is damn cool. Try it out at your local CPW, when you play with it you will see my point. It's expensive but it's one of those things that if you like it, you won't rest until you have it. A few of my mates have buggy W960's so they aren't too happy. Samsung have some type of touchscreen music player coming soon or maybe wait for the 3G iPhone, I'm sure that Apple will update the camera.

It all comes down to personal preference. The interface of the iphone is hands down one of the best IMO. But if youre picky like me and prefer mass storage mode over itunes then 960 all the way. What do you want in a phone?

iPhone just simply sucks when compared with W960. iPhone should have at least the basics of being a smartphone.

the iphone its said to not been a smart phone ( so ppl can compare to real smart phone). and then it feels like one. all the fascination in the iphone is their update apple is gonna add add add and add things to the iphone so that the iphone doesn't lose his novelty .

is you dont like UIQ go for iphone
w960 does much more tan iphone

i have the iphone and i can tell you that its WOW factor dies after a couple of weeks. Dont get me wrong, its a pretty fun device to have, and there are tons of third party apps out for iphone that make sure you are never bored, but you'll end up sacrificing alot of battery...

The downside of iphone is that its phone functionality isn't that great, i mean when im in the rush of dialing a number while driving, i wouldn't want to keep looking at where my fingers are touching the screen, let alone having to load the phone keypad screen first. The signal strength on the iphone is a 6/10 and when it rings, you can barely hear it due to its very small and weak speakers located at the bottom
