I'm looking to get a new handset some time this month and before i do i thought i would ask you guys what you thought of the w960i and if its worth waiting for it on T-Mobile or would you guys suggest something else?

I've also been looking at the LG Viewty, Nokia n95 and SE w910i, so if anyone is able to compare the w960i to these it would be much helpful

I am also open to other ideas you guys, so feel free to pitch them in

I have nothing against the w810i, but i don't think T-Mobile even offer it on contract anymore and isn't it coming up two years old?

Still, the software platform and display size/resolution are a bit outdated, don't you think?

Depends what your budget is. The W960 has O2 exclusivity at the moment so it'll be a bit of a wait for T-Mobile, contracts are rather high for it as well unless you take out a 24 month one.

Tis a awesome phone though
