how w960 better in terms of performance? both use the nearly identical specs, identical software with diff in walkman3.0 only.
i dont see any real advantage of w960 aside for internal memory and a little bit slim body. maybe some ppl prefer the w960 outlook.
at least p1i hv card slot, qwerty, infra red (although few ppl use it) n better looking stylus n better battery.

if u say walkman3.0 player, p1i can install it. walkman3.0 with qwerty keyboard. if u say p1i's qwerty keyboard hard to use, u can read all the feedbacks at p1i's thread regarding the keyboard, for average user, 2-3 days max, then can adapt already to its keyboard and can type faster. unless u r below the average user 

if u say w960 more superior in terms of sound, thats negligble. diff a little bit only. but now with all modded sound around the web, p1i n w960 same already. 

regarding crossflashing, p1i user not cross flash la bro (no need to cross flash), we js simply mod to install the walkman3.0 or walkman2.0+walkman3.0 visualization+diff layout and still use p1i's FW. so there is no cross flashing involve. only those days b4 UIQ/Symbian can be hack, they attempt to cross flash but failed coz the qwerty keyboard not useable. but thats very2 old story edi.

come on guys!! its the sister's phone here, dun compare with them, shud be compare to other brands that we can proud of...

b4 yes. After no.

B4 its release in Msia, should be included in the box. But bcoz of damn high cost for buyer, they change it to hpm-70 only..
