well i exactly dont need PDA features but i want the Symbian OS addons available...
and what is MIDlet?
There should be a way to run K700i games on a p910. Also is it possible to play games with the new qwert keyboard on the p910 because it faces towards us, when the screen is open?

The main problem running K700 games on the P900/910 is the controls, the games are designed with the K700 key layout so the games would be unplayable on the P900 because the controls would be so clumsy.
Overall, I prefer the P900 over the K700, but for gaming the K700 wins hands down.

Well isnt there a QWERT keyboard facing towards us with the widescreen open?
Well would'nt that allow us to play k700i games with the same/similar key layout?

It would have to be a version of Vrally customized to the device, IMO.
This message was posted from a P800

if u want gaming and symbian, i guess the ngage is good.
else it's prudent to invest in a standalone handheld gaming device like the new nintendos or something.

Billy, VRally was designed to be played horizontally... thus the qwerty keyboard is useless.
IMO, VRally for UIQ was programmed so poorly... no taking advantage of the hardware keys on the P-series phones.
The best car/racing game controls ever developed for the P-series was StuntRun taht came bundled with the P800. It used the jog-dial as a steering wheel... it made the most sense. Why VRally uses the stylus, is beyond me... it's the clumsiest way to drive a car... considering that the P-series already has a "wheel" to use for driving.
The S700, K700/500 for me are good gaming phones... the presence of a joystick makes game control a lot easier... plus with the GameBoard, it actually makes you forget that you're using your phone.
But mind you, these are still phones... even the NGage feels weird when compared to dedicated gaming machines like the Nintendo. But... you can't make calls on your Nintendo.
The P-series phones aren't really optimized for arcade style games. Board games, card games, mind games, and RPGs are more the thing for the P-series. It would be nice if they came up with a rotating gameboard for the P-series that could be used horizontally or vertically for games.

The main drawback of the P-series is lack of an ambidextrous input system. Even though the jogdial has technically the same functions as a joystick... the mere positioning of it negates its potential to be used as one.
