how do you guys feel about typing on the qwerty keyboard?

speech recognition? care to elaborate?

ok got it! i thought u can speak & somehow the phone can type yr msg according to your voice. like a secretary

michael, i also got K750i. i think naturally u would be comfortable going with P1i. i personally don't prefer smartphones becoz of lack of touch screen. whether it's WM or symbian based nowadays both have similar function & capability. so it comes down to the physical side of it. for example whether u prefer qwerty or normal phone button, use one hand or 2 hand to type. i think so far p1i is the one for me but i can still wait

kylie, it has scroll button at the side for up & down function. maybe that's even better than the joystick up-down

guys...just wondering..since it doesn't have a dedicated 4 way buttons, how do you guys play games on it? can u set the k/board button to turn it into 4-way? for ex : 8 (up), 0 (down) , * (L), # ®

michael, as i mentioned previously. WM & symbian nowadays already have similar functionality like sync email/calendar/contacts between PC & device, also read/open office documents (excel/words..). games also available in both versions. it's a matter of familiarity with the OS. i'm more familiar with WM since been using my trusty h4150 PDA for 3 yrs but i'm willing to venture into symbian possibly with this p1i. between HTC & SE, the more significant issue would be the physical nature like if use both hand for typing. HTC/dopod with sliding qwerty is also in my radar but after thinking i must use 2 hand operation, i think it's not for me. that part only u can decide.

ok that settles it then

windows-based PDAs got more developers working on it since the familiarity with windows. extra software like more games & utilities la. but more software doesn't necessarily mean better software. i hv used my WM PDA for 3 yrs now with many software installation & uninstall. finally i only keep a few which can be count in 1 hand only. i mention this quite few times that don't worry about the OS so much but instead focus on the hardware & features of the phone. symbian OS may lack in the number of softwares available but certainly not the quality/usability of the software. i'm more confident now to venture into symbian
