Ahh no problem eh? Then might get it. My XDAIIi rocks but wanna try something new.

Something new and 1000% times less functional and powerful? I'm sorry, but that's my opinion. biggrin.gif
The Symbian UIQ series still has a lot of room for improvement.

yea, i notice it. i had my magnetic pouch (rm7) wif Sony Ericsson words summore.. LOL.. china made.. tongue.gif

when close the pouch, my phone will auto turn to FO mode,
and will automatic go to search contact even how u keylock it. LOL..
why like this? smile.gif
will it effect the phone? i scared leh..
*
i don't use thse becuase it will affect battery life. causing your phone to off and on all the time can drain the battery.

original phone pouches dont have this problem as they use localized-power magnets.

tomorrow must go survey..

thank you.

do u know the batter signal light problem? doesnt blink all the way, unless received sms or delivery report.
*
yea the signal light is designed that way i think. and cannot customize it unlike Windows Mobile phones.

the pouches you can find a lot at Low Yat Plaza. they even sell those higher grade ones with thick-cloth material, feels a bit like high-quality cloth.

Don't run too much program. My W950i is stable as a rock, it never ever hang. Except when putting too much Top Gear episodes, it tend to get slow  tongue.gif

I'm quite pissed when I change to this phone, all people asking is "Berapa megapixel camera?" Why do people getting so 'anal' about the camera on a phone? I have a proper digital camera so I don't really bother about camera on my phone, all I need is huge screen and huge memory for my music and video collection. Having said that, if it have a proper good quality camera like in P1i and W960i I'll take it nod.gif

EDIT: Spelling
*
No need to get pissed bro. People always say all sorts of things. It is human nature. Like when i get the P990i, people say "your phone so big can use ah?" doh.gif
Also, jealousy does play a part too. laugh.gif

the p990i's QWERTY is bad due to bad spacing between the keys.

the e61, even though with small keys, have proper spacing between keys, which makes it a good QWERTY.

hi just wanna ask. I plan to get the P990i ap since the price very cheap now. Do anyone get their P990i from any shop around usj or subang area?? i wan reliable shop. Yesterday was at KL central, saw the shop V.V group. The price was ok but the warranty even though 1.5 years but never cover lcd even for 1 mth. So very risky to buy for me. Please suggest. Thanks
*
these days LCD problems are quite rare. i've used many AP sets before. all are okay, including P990i.

if having tight budget, p990i is worth the penny for its 2.8' display,2mp AF cam and its solid design. I stil love its outlook compare to P1.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Yup. Seriously I think the P1i is fugly compared to P990i.

Due to my bad experience with P990i, and SE stopped supporting P990 for such a short time, I am reconsidering whether I shd move to P1i. I think maybe I shd move to S60 camp rather than staying in this UIQ3 shit.
*
S60 is actually a downgrade to UIQ somewhat. Because lack of touchscreen, and certain functions. The P1i seems to be okay actually, but for me, i will still be keeping my P990i because the P1i just looks ugly to me.
If i were you, i'd try out windows mobile phones. they might be pricey, but they are worth it.
S60 OS to me is no different than any normal phone OS from Sony Ericsson or Nokia, as i'm a N93 user now.
