I get myself organized via a Diary during college days. Handphones, are a luxury to me back then.

Having a 3.2MP camera doesn't mean that it's going to be better than the 903SH. Just look at the N73, K800i, they're not as good as the 903SH IMO.

Virtual keyboard?

Yeah. All UIQ based devices has virtual keyboard.

Judging from past SE touch screen based phones, it can last quite a long time, unless you drop it or water somehow got into your phone.

Has it been 9 months since the P990i was launched?

I thought it was launched in Malaysia around Nov/Dec last year?

Maybe the RM 3,999 P1i for sale is a prototype which is not supposed to be for sale.

Who knows, the S500i might be out somewhere this month.

I would speculate that the price be around RM 2,888 +/- RM 100.

Hopefully it doesn't have the stability issue P990i users face.

Something like HTC Touch's TouchFlo technology?

P1i's price dropped again in SG?

That's not a good sign.

I wonder what's causing it to drop like nobody's business in such a short period.

Demand and supply factors?

Should be the same across all UIQ 3.0 phones.

Touch screen's sensitivity are not supposed to be affected by applying a screen protector on it.

The many touch screen based phones I've used proves that, including my current M600i and possibly upcoming P1i.

Hmm... Been using MFSPs on my previous devices and no complaints. In fact it performs better than the normal SPs.

I use my finger to type, not the fingernail as it's very short.

Exactly. I did that on my M600i and now on my P1i.

I love the keyboard so much that I decided to sell my K800i and buy the P1i.

IMO, get WM is you're a heavy PIM user. WM has more to offer in terms of 3rd party applications for various uses. But the lack of a keyboard in most WM devices make it a pain to type a long essay (if you do that often) or maybe just type a simple SMS. Phone features are the most basic in WM devices.

Whereas UIQ devices are more phone-centric, whereby it's a phone first only a PDA. So it excels in telephony features. Ease of use is the most important point here. 3rd party apps are not that many, and most probably you'll have to be contented with the default ones.

Choose according to your needs and preferences.

Yes mate.

By the way, I'm satisfied with the current firmware my P1i has as it's faster and more stable.

I had a bad experience with my M600i with Chinese firmware, so much so that I flashed it to English only.

I need to read Chinese, therefore I already installed some Chinese fonts whereby I now can read Chinese but cannot Write.

Good enough for me.

Well, buy whenever you're ready.

The current firmware is dead stable. No hangs at all during my 1 week of usage! And I don't restart my phone at all.

I also didn't install Swiss Manager, yet. Yet it's still rock stable!

As the icons are pretty big, finger navigation is possible. But there'll be smudges all around the touch screen and I don't like to see that on my unit.

There's no D-pad, but there's a jog-dial, which is pretty functional and can do lots of things. Otherwise, use the stylus to scroll.

OK text input, there's the QWERTY keyboard, handwriting recognition and virtual keyboard.

It's better than Transcriber on PPC IMO.

For Instant Messaging, you can try Fring.
