Maybe because SE were going to drop UIQ, and as far as i know Paris had the same hardware under the hood as the P990 and P1 so they probably thought it wouldnt do well.

@EMS06: Like many folks I'd like to see how that UI works on an actual phone and not in emulated form. Watching the video last night I was mightily impressed, it looks even more 'impressive' than the iPhone's UI.
PS: Does anyone know why the 'Paris' was eventually cancelled?
Absolutely brix25!
If it works like that on an actual phone then SE have finally done something right after 3 years of screwing up. The fact that they are using a snapdragon processor tells me it is as fast. Either way I'm going with Android, my mind's made up. I really feel this is a goldmine for SE.
As for Paris, GUCCI's correct, Paris was just another P990i/P1i with a 5 mega pixel camera and aGPS. Basically, an upgrade of the P1. I just think they cancelled it because they felt it wouldn't do well seeing that it wasn't really far ahead in technology as the P1 and people had complained about the lack of innovation from their smartphones. I doubt if the death of UIQ had anything to do with it since they brought out the G700/900 afterwards.

Ya, 2Wanq must literally get his act together and start some recording; there are times that I'd rather deal with the fame n' fortune of being a leading Wanqsta Rapper than sorting out all the kaka that often comes with my chosen profession in this country, LOL.

...so decided to just go check the w995 today, MTN, Vodacom and Cell C had no idea what I was talking about. So went to Autopage and got to play around with it
. Same old SE so I knew my way around it, pretty small though. I had no probs with the side buttons or slide so don't know what everyone is complaining about. Great phone, too hyped about I think. STill want one though
Cellucity has it for R5699...
