*shrug* if you're used to typing touch on a keyboard, you'll probably write a bit faster, and a bit more flowing, than on an ordinary mobile pad. Other than that, it's not an infinite excercise in filling the custom dictionary with words of different kinds. You'll just write the word out instead.

lol bitter p990 users....
the p1i is a band-aid solution that's pretty affordable... it might not have all the latest specs but it makes the p990 dream a reality...
i was able to use both keypads equally... but like the p1i style more..overtime i think most people will adapt to it...

The P1i is a toy hastily slapped together and a slap in the face of the wonderful P900.
Don't buy it!

You mean the P990?
I know looking at the specs the P1 doesn't look like better than the P990, but the general result is that the P1 is indeed better than the P990. More usable, more multi-tasking, more memory.
One exception: The camera looks like a bit inferior (?)
Overall, the P1 with the latest firmware is a great phone.

I refer indeed to the P900. It was a wonderful phone.
I bought the P1i since my Nokia 7710 met its demise. I expected the P1i to be better than the P900. In reality, it is about a tenth of the P900's quality. The software and user interface are counterintuitive and full of bugs.
What a waste of time and money!!

I had a P910 and it was rock stable and had a lot of software, I still prefer the P1.
The P900 camera was awful, no 3G (I use web a lot), no wifi, no audio DSPs (real MegaBass), no hardware video acceleration, no 3d hardware acceleration, slow processor, no bluetooth powersaving mode (I use GPS a lot), no qwerty keyboard ???
Today I couldn't live with a P900 even if someone payed me to.

Fully agree. Also no stereo bluetooth (A2DP) which is must have for me, no usb mass storage, no 4 or 8 gb memory card capacity (I have 4), no full html with download, no landscape ms office or internet, no brilliant screen as in P1, no battery capacity as in P1, no 160mb internal memory, no poket size form factor, no VOIP, no trackID. And also my P1 is rock solid with amazing multitasking capacity.

If it's new technology and new features, it's quite clear that the P1i will have the latest technology and latest features. The reason is obvious: that technology did not exist back when the P900 was released.
However, there were no complaints about the P900, just glowing praise. The P990 and the P1i, on the contrary, have a large and growing list of bug reports and a failure by SE to address these.
No search in Contacts. Duplicate contacts being generated by PC Suite Sync. You've got to have used the Contacts on P900 to see how smooth it was.
The Calendar application in P900 was flawless and a breeze to use. The Weekly view was a bird's eye glance with a vertical format for each day and you could actually see the whole day's tasks. What do you get in the P1i? An application that crashes every 3rd time you use it.

There was not a search in the p910 contacts either, and the pc suite has always been bad at syncing with Outlook (i gave that up with my 910, never even tried with my p1). This is something that should have been solved a LONG time ago, SE are really showing themselves up by not solving this issue.
I really fail to see what is wrong with the built in calendar though, despite the remaining issues with the p1 I think that it is an excellent handset. Its been rock solid for me, looking like its gonna get to the reliability I had with my 910 (an uptime measured in months, not hours) and the new backup functions for the calendar and contacts even mean I don't concern myself overly with backing it up.
For me, I think the p1 is a great device! I even think the camera is good (green tint or not), maybe I have low standards?

So how did you bring over your previous contacts and calendar entries into the p1i?
