Funnily enough I was looking at this phone yesterday morning and almost started a thread about it on here

It looks like a great bit of kit, does anyone know how much it's going to be?

Smaller screen?

and why the flip? Seems useless now, you can use the touch-screen for dialling.

1mm smaller. higher resolution though so you actually can get more on.

Flip I guess is to keep the traditional phone feel. can be removed.

PS did you get my email about Iberia map?

1mm - I'm guessing that's on the diagonal? It looks about 10mm shorter on the length, but a bit wider?

Got your mail thanks But at a download speed of 10kbps, I decided not to do it last night - I'll wait for a quieter time!

I like the built in qwerty keyboard, but its just too big! I used to use a P800, but found the size a problem. Changed to an SPV C500 and wouldnt go back now.

Sonyericsson are terrible for supporting older products too - they release new products quite quickly, and expect everyone to just upgrade to a new one. Really pissed off a lot of people on the P800 forum I used to use.

Mine is fine as well. not the best in the summer if wearing shorts but other than that it's fine.

Chris, do you have TomTom for your P910? I'm really pleased with it. Great addition to the phone.

It works well because of the touchscreen. massive advantage over other phones.
