Kewl..dats da spirit, ....Go On..!

obviously its the w960i by a league margin......i cant stop wetting me keyboard everytime i luk at the phone.its TEH best phone eevr launche by erricson

Dint u guyz think the lack of Xenon Flash and 3LED Video light in W960 will work against it?

W960i. 3.2 mp is enough for me & now I prefer symbian OS + sleekness

k850i, the ultimate cam phone wid accelerometer!

as for walkman features... firmware hackers are ur best frens!

or at least "my best frens"!!

guys do w960 supports edge..

no edge support but has 3g support.

K850i is not symbian, W960i is symbian + sleekness. Thats much better.

To ber very frank, SE should come up with the new camera module before Q1 2008. 3.2 MP is more then enough but now we need better shutter speed & colour reproduction.

Hmm.. Choose between Excellent Cam and Very good cam + W! You'll find the answer ;-)

W960i all the way..cant wait for tht monster

out of these two, w960i anyday..
But i prefer n95 to both..

Touchscreen, VGA video, all that shaking thingy for Music and WLAN? W960 pwns all!

i voted for w960i...

btw how much will it cost when its released and when is it expected to be released?

25-30k.. Shd be here by Q4 07

definitely W960

..

yeah gx, but thats symbian uiq....

W950i comes with everything I require in a phone, sans the camera, So i m assuming that W960i will be close.

For multimedia Playback W960i already has everything.

For checking mail, again it already has POP3 Mail client for my GMAIL & Yahoo mail.

3rd thing I need is native opera so that i can download files & save them to the memory. Like downloading some MMS from rapidshare etc

. This is also already there in W960i.

4th thing i need is an IM Client. For this on Symbian Series 60 I prefer IM+, for JAVA I again prefer IM+ or jYMSG. Now, tell me if I can use IM+ for Nokia N73 ME (example) in W960i? If not then still I have the JAVA based Yahoo Messenger or Talkobaut or MOrange or Mig33, something which a "Fruity phone" cannot do.

Taking notes, organiser, appointment, data plans etc...are already there in W960i (cos they are in W950i). I do need a Adobe Illustrator like app though, on which I can simply scribble using the stylus.

yes, there a version of im+ available for symbian uiq!

but the app base is not as huge as for symb 8.1. but nevertheless better than java....

yep.. Anything+java > only java.. But hopefully the no of symbian uiq apps ll increase..

Cool, everything I need from a mobile phone is there. PMP, Opera, IM+, E-Mail, Notes...& I think a scribbling software must be there.

yea.. That i think ll be a different input for notes in the touchscreen mode with the stylus
