I couldn't get on with the keypad on the m600,
Its not a keyboard anyone is familiar with - but use it for 2-3 weeks and you get the hang of it, especially as the keys get broken in and are less stiff. Then by the time you have this phone 3 months, you will not ever want to go back to standard phone keybaord. Honestly.
I am thinking about the P990 because I want a camera but honestly the M600i keybaord is something I will truly miss.

Has anyone found Blackberry Connect software or other push email software for the W950i?

@W950i owners...
Hi... I noticed that the W950 doedn't let me access the menu even in FLIGHT MODE if the SIM card is NOT present. Screen shows "Insert SIM".
Ideally, as a smartphone it should boot up even without a sim.
Have you noticed this or anything different ?

Have been experimenting a bit over the weekend re: sound quality of the W950. After a lot of listening between the P990 and W950 I am now convinced that if you listen to AAC format music (e.g. ripped CD using iTunes) the W950 is so much better that I would seriously recommend you consider the W950 over the P990 if music is a priority. Also the more I use the Walkman s/w the more I like the W950. In my view the W950 is a good and gentle introduction to Smartphones for people who would normally not consider such devices...

im not too impressed with sound on my w950.. it doesnt seem to go very loud. Even if i play with eq and put volume all the way up , using the loudspeaker it doesnt really wow me .. the new nokias have a louder clearer sound by far..

there is a difference between quality of sound and volume of sound. If you want volume then the W950 is probably not for you. But with the HPM-85 I can't listen to my W950 beyond 80% volume setting as it is too loud!

i understand, and agree, quality is far better and makes up for lack of sound, it sounds nice and not tinny.

Problems so far:
Battery life is shocking. I just had a quick 3G surf while the thing was plugged into the PC via USB and watched the battery deteriorate even as it charged. Ouch. I can only imaging how bad it would be with the bluetooth radio switched on and transmitting to a headset. I bet it needs to be charged every other day with only two hours headset use per day.
No RSS feed application in O2 version, at least. It doesn;t appear on the icon for multimedia (top left of main menu) but does appear when you move the cursor to it using the jog wheel. It looks like a bit of customising that has gone a bit wrong.
The headset connection for the supplied unit is a little tempramental. Today I couldn't get it to work consistently at lunchtime even though on the way into work it performed well. It kept on being dedected and not detected. Sounds like a dodgy connection to me.
The appointment alarm is a bit too insistent. It vibrates for ages when a quick text-alert style is what is needed.
I just have no idea how to get album art across to the phone. It's not a biggy, as I wouldn;t use it anyway, but there seems to be no clear way of doing it, and that irritates me because I neeeeeed to know.
I can't change tabs in the menus without touching the screen. I can use the phone one handed to navigate all the way through to watching a video, but if I want to swap between those stored on the phone memory to those in the media memory I need to touch the tab on the screen. Either allow me to do it all one handed or just don't bother. This goes for looking at call history too.
I want to change my front page shortcuts please. I don't want the radio there, for example, I want my email.
I finished the nightclub game already. It's easy peasy.
Some of the built in themes are terrible. One of them, which I quite liked otherwise, uses black text in black input boxes. DUH!
I don't want anyone to think I don't like the phone, I do. I love the fact that it offers to send a text when you reject a call or to set a reminder to call back. I LOVE the sound quality and like Jah says, the volume is ample even for the tube trains. The size and form factor are fantastic considering the huge number of features. I like the fact that it keeps a small menu shortcut on screen even in Java games.
Overall, great phone, but lots of annoying niggles.
