Don't think that this is possible. The smartphones are a little bit more complicated than the normal cell phones.

Seems like I was wrong it could be possible cause I just saw a M600 converted to a w950.
I found a thread that could be of help.
Flashing the P1i with W960 firmware?

I don't know why anyone want to put W960's firmware on P1, the only think you gonna gain from this is the Walkman Player3, But its allready possible to install Walkman Player 3 on P1 with UIQ Modding/Hacking.

I believe you can even change the startup screen to that of the w960, so this plus the walkman3 is in effect a conversion, concidering that both phones run the same core os.

If you replace the P1 OS with W960 you will loose keyboard and memory stick functionality.
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
