Just to confirm for anybody interested.

TomTom 6 works on the W960i (v6.020)


The DS970 BT Stereo headset works & sounds great with the W960i and volume is louder than with the P990i (enough for me anyway but wouldn't hurt your eardrums on max!! ). Stomping bass through the DS970's (Timbaland track)

I find the volume through 3 sets of headphones good enough but some are likely to wish volume was higher. Qualitywise it sounds as good as my iPod Nano to me.

Dissapointed the W960i didn't come with a "dock", just a standard PC cable.

Documents-to-go & Mobipocket installed no problem.

Recognises mp3 & m4a tracks straight away from my iTunes Library with embedded album art (unlike P990i which wouldn't show m4a/aac tag information.

The sound is really excellent through the DS970's And... I don't get a dropped signal like I did with the P990i even with sound passing through my body so BT must be stronger in the W960i ??

Screen is stunning indoors with good saturated colours than the P990i. More readable outside than the P990i just looking "washed-out" but then even transflective PPC's do.

Also just made sure no problem with multiple BT devices and works fine connected to the DS970 & TomTom BT reciever at the same time.

This really does what I originally hoped the P990i would do:

Large storage for music & video.
I viable replacement for the iPod with nearly as good music management (pitty it doesn't recognosie my iTunes star ratings).
Excellent Phone.
Great PIM functionality without complexity.
Perfect size & weight
Good standard snap-shot camera.
Sat nav navigation with my TomTom software & TomTom sirfIII receiver (seeing as the reciever has a 10hr battery life it doesn't kill phone battery like a built-in solution would).
Great built-in web browser & email
Fast growsing speeds (3G & WiFi)
Perfect for handling Word & Excel files (with Documents-to-go anyway)
Alarm clock
Radio
Simple Torch!!!
Multitasks everything I throw at it!!!!!!!! (Big bane of the P990i where I couldn't browse web & listen to music reliably).
I don't use a keyboard having perfected JOT hand writing since the P800 and find the implementation on the W960i better if anything. Screen is perfectly responsive to me with the Brando screen protector fitted.



Sure theres many more things.

Oh yes!! It looks stunning.


Negatives?? The stylus is not as good as the P910/P990 but its usable. Bit like the Psion Revo one if I remember correctly.

"Torch" only in that of using the bright screen

Picture quality is better than the P990i and good enough for work related snap-shot & macro photos. Won't be replacing may Canon!

Is it possible to do this on a W960i (Or P1i):

Change the SMS alert to a downloaded tone? Or are you stuck with pre-defined ones from SE?

I am sure you can use your mp3's as ringtones, but what about as SMS/Email/etc tones?

Thanks
