Im really not sure which one to get, can some one please answer some questions i have about the two.
1.) Which is faster, G900 or W960
2.) Is it easy to install mods? It seems confusing.
3.) On w960 review it says the walkman player is not pratical and easy to use (scrolling throungh albums nd tracks) is this true? Is the player on the G900 more pratical ?
4.) Can you make all icons and lists bigger on w960, ive read you need to use the stylus a lot?
5.) What would you get? Price not an issue? nor camera
THANKS IN ADVANCE |

1. G900 should be faster. W960 is slowing down as the storage gets filled up. This is no hands on experience. It is according the review of www.gsmarena.com of the W960
2. Mods are easy to install. Just folow my tutorial for Symbian UIQ modding:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=174427
3. I'm using Walkman 3 from W960 on my P1 (modded) and I find it very practical. In fact I like more the Media Center app from the G900, but I don't have it in my phone yet...
4. I think you can only change fonts. Don't know exactly if you can get the icons and fonts bigger but you will use it with fingers no problem when you get used to it. It just needs some time while you get used to the phone. For example I don't have any problems using the phone completely with fingers. 
5. Well If you like more the camera and don't need huge built in memory, go for the G900. It's better in overall, but lacks some music features imo. Anyway it is better than the W960... You should go for it.

Ok i have compared them both live, so heres what i have to say
1> g900i is faster than w960i although their processor speed is same!
It boots in lees than 40 sec while w960i takes about 1min or more.
2> I have never installed mods, so i cant comment.
3> Walkman player is very practical, and one of the best i have seen so far, even better than stand alone mp3 players(ipod, sony's B series)
4>Its been almost 9 months since i own w960i, and i think i used stylus less than 10 times! Its almost useless.
5> Well, G900i is slimmer, and the notes application is fun to use, but not sure if its goin to be in handy in real life. Its standby application is more practical and useful and its over all faster. So i might have bought it considering those, but w960i's touch sensitive buttons( and 8gb of high speed flash memory) and walkman application is more important for me(it looks beeter too).
Well if i had to buy a phone now, i would go for x1i or the w960's sucessor which i hope to see in late Q4 or early 2009. |

About the stylus, the W960 has also designed walkman player for using more with fingers... That was the main reason why I installed it on my p1...

neither, try the P1i, ull get it cheaper than both, and you can pretty much have as many features in it with the mods

Well if it is an option ok then. He said W960 or G900.. I am using P1 too which I find better than both. Maybe the G900 has better camera, but it can't beat modded P1 imho. It is better only with the camera and nothing else (ok, maybe a little faster). The P1 has qwerty keyboard which both other lack and it is VEERY good and practical when you get used to it.
After all P1 can get W960 walkman player installed on it, G900 torch app and many more mods which makes you having almost all applications from the 3 phones togedher.

True, he did give only 2 options, am acting all fanboyish
But I do think you can get the best of both worlds since the P1i supports a 8 gig memory card & Gdesk solves the problems of big icons , especially the iphone theme
If price nor camera are an issue, and if u desire big icons, Id make a scandalous suggestion, go for the iphone as IMO a phone should deliver what your needs are.
But if you only want SE, then I guess this suggestion is invalid

You are not acting "fanboyish"...
P1 is great phone indeed... I can say it is the best between those 3. If you don;t need the 5mp camera and you like qwerty keyboard.
