      I can happily tell all you P1 fans out there that the phone works just fine with the M2 16GB expansion card. I just bought the memory card from my local retailer today. So far I was managed to fit around 2400 mormal lenght mp3's to my P1. The M2 expansion I purchased is the sandisk brand name...I hope I am not advertising here the brand name! Like I said phone works just fine with 16GB. Regards. Arthur.

        Not at all. Idou will use Symbian, but not UIQ.
        So UIQ is dead, but not Symbian.

          Actually the upcoming Idou is also based on Symbian according to this site, which makes alot of sense. I seriously doubt symbian will go out just like that...

                P1i , 02 Apr 2009How CAN you complain about UIQ3? Yeah, it's dead? And? Does... moreone thing i really like most about p1 is...it's free from virus :)

                  How CAN you complain about UIQ3? Yeah, it's dead? And? Does this suddenly make the phone bad or something. Obviously most haters hadn't used this phone for more than 6 months. UIQ3 was and STILL is the best Mobile OS. S60 or Win. Mobile aren't touch screen optimized. UIQ is as it's newer. You DON'T have to 'hack' this phone. All is there for you. If you do wish to mod/hack your P1i, it would be a breeze with instructions. :P The device itself is sturdy and feels nice in your hand. It fell once for me, kinda dented the metallic edge but nothing more. This device is now cheaper than originally, and for it's cost you get many things. You CAN navigate the screen with your finger. Just adapt to it and all is fine and easy. The QW-ER-TY is a nice design on SE's behalf. A total space saver, and super quick text typing. Don't like keyboard? Use the on-screen keyboard. The problem of P990's slowness is now gone with the P1i and it's quick and stable. The battery lasts a week, if not used TOO heavily. The guy with installation problems is bluffing, all UIQ3/Java apps work. Overall, this device packs basically all the features of a modern day smartphone in to one, neat and relatively cheap package, along with a very nice OS that's easy to adapt to. There is no way that you can compare P1I to Omnia, HTC and top of the range phones as this phone was out for quite sometime now. It's not compareable, and having said that, it's better than most modern day smartphones.

                            why would user concern when uiq is no more?i mean i've bought the phone without knowing that the OS has been discontinued though it already that long.i know it's a regret for me.but still the phone has got everything.camera,wifi,qwerty,bluetooth & even touchscreen.i was thinking what user expect more for small gadgets like any pda or phones that comes with prefect score.i would prefer a laptop if i wanted a better storage,speed sound and wifi.thus can use VOIP.no offense for phone lovers.i'm just sad that p1 has been put with bad reputation because of its OS.for me p1 is A Okay ;)

                                  Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970it depends on your needs

                                  there is not much difference between P1i and G700 except for the half-qwerty keyboard of P1i, better try it out first then decide. Its a smart phone so you can also install additional softwares on it.

                                  if your not that techie and you are looking for a walkman phone, you may want to go for those slim walkman phone instead.

                                  If you know how to follow mod instructions, you can however install walkman V3 on P1i or G700. One concern however for UIQ3 phones is that it is discontinued. Others usually say its a dead OS now, but I for one, is not that worried, the last firmware is very stable and is currently loving GDESK, its like having different UI of every phone on your UIQ3. case in point:
