Nah, don't think so! They're aimed at two different markets.
The P1i is quite plainly a business device. I'll be surprised if the P1i becomes a big seller, touch screens with handwriting recognition and Smartphone interfaces are still niche. It would be hard to sell the P1i to someone who is used to a mid range effort.

The biggest hurdle the P1i will have to overcome is the (very)buggy reputation the P990i left ! Also the iPhone may/will take customers away and lets face it - if someone wants a pda-cell combination wm5/6 devices come to mind. They have sorted out the bugs fairly well by now and the software is available. On the other hand if a cell-pda is desired (note the word cell is first) then the Nokia N and E series are the devices of choice. That leaves the UIQ nowhere ! It had a small market/chance 'in between' but now even that is treatened with iPhone's introduction. And finaly - have you chaps checked what Nokia shares did since all this 'buzz' got going around the N95?
Well done Nokia - How about 40% market share before the years end? - Just a thought -

I was impressed when I 1st heard of the N95 and after many months I am at awe on how ahead of the curve it STILL is. Congratulation Nokia, you deserve the 38% marketshare!
P1i is a year old hardware from the P990 (including similar still unsorted bugs) repackaged in a new shiny shell with an extra 1 megapixel for the cam and 64MB ram. Hardly competition for Nokia and it's NEW upcoming devices.
I long for the day when SE can manufacture a device that rivals those of Nokia. Until then SE will be 2nd, even 3rd, behind Nokia IMHO.
Cheers!
