@ Gucci,
Yeah I was half-expecting to see "The Hamster" behind that tractor's wheel. (Some kinda hair-brained bet that they were perhaps having, LOL).
If you look carefully, you'll see that there's also a scooter strapped to the back of the tractor itself... not an everyday sight. Strange...
@ The Hobbster,
Ya, the P900 has certainly served its master well.
Do you know that there's still only one network in the UK carrying the P1i? It's O2, who fortunately don't brand their phones. Recently labelled as taking Vodafone's number one spot, size-wise, in the UK.
Now I'm happy to get a O2 contract again, but somehow they and the UK's biggest cellphone chainstore, Carphone Warehouse, seem to be the only place that is stocking the thing...
What exclusivity n' monopolising skullduggery hath taken place?
I asked at Phones4U, the 2nd largest cellphone chainstore, and they said they weren't even sure when they'd be getting them...
Now then, all the other networks brand their phones...is this possibly one of the reasons for such a delay? If SA's Vodacom uses Vodafone branded handsets, then I'm wondering when it'll be commercially available, 'cos Vodafone here have got zilch at the moment...
Unless one gets them sim-free/cash of course, from independent cellphone retailers.
Wonder what MTN et al are doing about the P1i, or if they've got a definite availability date. There might be the odd P1i around, bought cash etc, but are there actual network branded ones out there yet? Now I despise branding with a passion, but I'm just trying to figure out what's happening in the market place with this handset...
So at this stage, there's no competition or reason for O2 to offer a better deal on the P1i; they're currently riding the crest of their exclusivity wave, and making the most of it..

Been around a couple of cellphone shops and haven't seen any signs of the P1i. Walkman phones are being heavily promoted with the W880 one of the more popular phones.

lol @ Ama,realy is strange,yes i just noticed the motorbike only now lol,just one of those odd and weird thngs.
i wonder why the P1 is exclusively with o2? Didnt SE learn their lesson with the W900 being exclusively sold by Vodafone? That was a big disaster though, P1 seems to be doing well since its at a good price, im sure MTN will get it 1st then,i realy do hate this whole deal between Vodacom and Vodafone,

Hello guys, another quick visit....
Right, it was end of last year, I believe, when Vodafony nominated their 3 smartphone OSs, which they would support for the next 3/5 years......
The winners:
Windows Mobile
Linux(even though they've not yet since marketed ONE Linux device, lol)
S60
This was after the 'problems' with the then new UIQ devices.....yup, they bottled it.......
(Maybe if they hadn't tried stuffing them with extra branded firmware, they wouldn't have had some much grief, but of course, they are the law....as far as they're concerned
)
Hope that's enlightened y'all!
And
Wanqa, as always friend, the 900 doesn't stop surprising people, even 3 years on........mine goes nowhere, just sits here(with P910 firmware, of course
), reminding me of how RIGHT
can build a smartphone........when they can be bothered, that is!

@ Aware,
Ah, cheers for that matey. That explains The Big Red One's spurning of the
P1i.
Hell, I guess that shows one how much
must've horlicksed things that they've deemed a 'potential' Linux-powered handset/s to take preference over UIQ...
Personally, I'm not too bothered about Vodafone omitting the P1i (they're my least favoured UK network), but I hope T-Mobile (with their attractive Web n' Walk stuff) et al don't follow suit..
Yeah the P900 remains my most reliable and stable handset that I've owned to date. (Bought it in April 2004.) The very thin plastic around the display has cracked and broken away, where the flip keypad rests. It's the second housing I've had on the phone; the original did the same thing. Apart from that, it's still in one piece after nearly 3 and a half years of service.
