yalor....nway, i extremely hope SE will update p1i UIQ interface to this g700/g900 GUI style... tongue.gif this three phone share the same UIQ version js different shell...but if SE update p1i UIQ to latest UIQ 3.3 thats much better  drool.gif
*
that's gonna make P1i interesting. but doubt SE will do that. P1i is more to smartphone-branded.

yup. all about marketing  tongue.gif (opps...sorry SE  tongue.gif )

even K800, its actually 3.1MP but they advertise as 3.2.

maybe coz 3.2MP sounds nicer. 3.1MP sounds odd. laugh.gif

Yeah, I like the 5MP camera and xenon flash on N82 too. More over, it is now available in black color. I'm just not sure how convenient it is to edit documents and spreadsheets without a stylus.

well..it will be quite hard if its w/o touchscreen & stylus.

i just got my g900 2 days back. am enjoying all the functions. u guys better get 1, or maybe wait for its own facelift model next year. pic quality is so good. not so hightech as the se cybershots but i can deal with it. res are high, white balance, image stabiliser, red eye reduction, photo fix, touch focus and the other basics. very decent 5.0, best 5.0 in the market now. other than that, sound quality is very acoustic touch, very good sharp. it is as loud as w550i or slightly softer...has huge list of equalizers, best of all mega bass.
*
this extra feature is good enough for me. one which my current P1i lacks. thought of upgrading but i gonna miss the QWERTY keypad alot. sad.gif

looks much nicer in real life pictures! anyway, noticed the new box design of the G900. sets it apart from the current designs. looks more like Nokia's boxes now. biggrin.gif

but 3.2mpx only la....if want 5mpx with qwerty, then wait for p5i  smile.gif

except 2 things, screen size n qwerty
haha...poisoned already meh?  brows.gif

wanna get X1 but i think the initial price tag would have killed me. same for Touch Pro. the features that G900 attracts me are the WiFi b/g & 5.0MP camera with stabilizer. seriously needs the stabiliser. with it, P1i would have been the perfect phone for me. now, it's just almost perfect. biggrin.gif

P5i still a long way to go right? no confirmation on release date yet? blink.gif

laugh.gif should be more than that as another (minimum) two new symbian phones from SE

that time P1i will be like RM899 or phased out dy wert. so RM12xx seems reasonable. for AP sets of course. biggrin.gif

i think in order for the photos to look nice & sharp, good lighting is needed. just like all other camera phones. smile.gif

I already got my set last weekend. Got it at RM1480 (AP set) and the sales package is quite comprehensive. It includes a original SE bluetooth handsfree receiver. Be cautious that some traders remove this item from the sales package in order to give you a more competitive price. Manage to get screen protector and carrying case (3rd party) also. Although this is my first UIQ symbian phone, it is a joy to use. The D-pad makes it more intuitive than previous UIQ phones relying main only touch and jog dial. 

It only supports WIFI B (as indicated at the box) and it does not have HSPDA/3.5G. Only the regular 3G speeds. But that is not important because I rely much on the WIFI capability. Get this G900 (be it AP or original) because it is really different. My first impression was that UIQ phones are laggy as indicated by many online sources. But after viewing youtube videos of this G900, its the other way round. Its smooth and speedy especially if you turn off transitions. The UI is very nice too!

hmm..RM1480 with SE Bluetooth Hnadsfree sounds really worth it. mind to share with us where u got it? smile.gif

what's the difference between B and G? unsure.gif
we can still use this G900 to online in hotspots areas rite?
*
i think B is for WiFi with slower speeds. G is faster. most hotspots operates on both B & G but some operates on G only. so P1i & G900 can't connect to those.

G900 has more interesting features than G700 & its quite reasonably priced. therefore, it's more popular. smile.gif

I am in SG now and tried this phone earlier.  its SGD688 here.  original and without any contract.  translate to about RM1670 (give or take the xchange rate diff).

There is a slight delay in respond but i think its much better than the Samsung Omnia i tested also.  The rest of the phone look pretty much like the old SE menu.  I am gonna be here for a while so i'll wait for the price to go down further before committing.  The G900 have gone from $768 when i arrive a month ago to $688 now.

The one thing i wish its better is the UI graphic.  It's not as "groovy" as iPhone or the Samsung F480 but i think this might change with theme (well at least that i how the SE menu works...!!!).  BTW this one is not HSDPA?
*
the UI actually resemblance the one on P1i & W960. with only slight changes.
