Ebay is not that safe... Try oficial sony ericsson site or some store in your place.

I've always found play.com to be a good reliable vendor. Not sure how good they are for phones, but i know for a fact that they have sim free phones on offer there a lot of the time, and i'm sure you'll be able to pick up the P1 should be around 250 pound.

I can't speak for the M600, but yes, P1i is one of the best devices they've ever launched (if P990 only had +64 MB RAM), but it seems as if it has been silently abandoned.

Or does anyone here seriously hope for another fw release after a period of 7 months ?

Well, I don't.

I think it's the best one to date, the others are technologically overtaken by this one.

I agree that the P1's keyboard is a good design, but conversely would have prefered a larger screen as I too mainly use HWR. The 'paris' slider design would have addressed this, but there again the flip design certainly had merits with the inclusion of a standard numeric keypad.

The best compromise for me would be a flip with the numeric keypad from the p990 (including D-pad), and the qwerty from the P1

The obvious downside to this though is that it would make for a rather bulky flip due to the 'proud' keys required by the P1 design...so I'd be happy to settle for the qwerty from the P910. Unless some inovative retractable key option were possible, ie. that the qwerty keys sank back into the flip when it was closed. I estimate a movement of around 1mm would be all that's required.

The keyboard from the M600 (later to feature on the P1) was a brilliant design, and deserved to be carried on in later phones really. In many other ways the M600 wasn't a fantastic phone, and neither was the P1 in my opinion, but if that keyboard design could have been combined with something a bit more powerful (ie, something better than the ill-fated UIQ3) then it could have really been a knockout.

more powerfull hardware, yes...something "more powerfull" than UIQ3??? disagree completely...i love UIQ, like many, all it needed/needs was some evolution, and UIQ 3.3 seemed to show it was going on the right direction, and so did the screens of UIQ4
