it's slightly apples and oranges but what do you think?

PS does anyone know when the G900 will be on shelves in the UK and expected price?

the g900 does look the better phone on paper but i love the p1i form factor. the g900 shouldn't be too expensive when it comes out either.

i like how small and light the G900 is but it is generally ugly IMO and what is the real need for those buttons when you have a touchscreen, also the keyboard will cripple it i think.

i think once you get the hang of the qwerty keypad of the P1, it is pretty difficult to go back to a standard layout.

I'd say W960i but it doesn't have qwerty keypad. Qwerty keypad is very easy to use and when you get used to it (about one week) it's absolutely fabulous. But i just realize that i don't really need it. Ehh and i think that P1i has bigger screen. Only advantage of G series is new UIQ if i remember correctly. So it's up 2 you. Cheers

I'm going from my P1i to the G900 when it comes out. It's smaller lighter faster cheaper and better. I am split on the kaypad of the p1i but would prefer a normal one really. I really want the new design features like the D pad and the finger touch interface design.

I'd go for the P1 simply due to its form factor and the bigger screen...using a stylus on a candybar just does not seem right.

Spec wise G900 has the edge over the P1. UI controls, web browser, Flash Lite v3, LED Flash as torch, better Video rec. better size and better camera performance/specs. i won't even dare to choose P1 if G700 has been included in the options

G900 would be my perfect phone if it has QWERTY instead of numeric key. How I wish SE will release a QWERTY version of G900 while maintaining the D-pad. The inclusion of D-pad is very welcome! it's far more useful than Jog-dial. Some common tasks are not fun to execute with touch screen. I don't care if the phone with QWERTY becomes taller inorder to make way for the D-pad. But the most exciting part of G900 is the more intuitive interface..
