I was very upset with the review from mobile burn. Normally i hold them in very high regard but it seems to me that the reviewer was being overly critical, i want to even say that he had a bad unit, not because im a se fanboy but because most other sites had decent reviews of the p1i.
I'd say you're probably not used to reviews of new phones beeing that critical. I actually enjoyed reading it simply because 99% of todays reviews of ALL kind of gadgets (not only of mobile phones) are just too positive. The explanation is very simple.
Review sites and magazines need to claim a new device before it's released to have time to properly test it, hence they often get a "pre-production model". The mobile phone companies are happy to hand these out, but very often with conditions. If the reviewer decide to write something negative about the device, hardware or software, he/she needs to explain that it's not the final product that is beeing reviewed and that it could be fixed before it's released. In the conclusion of the review it may not be allowed to let that factor affect the grade of the product, or the reviewer may not get any more pre-production model in the future from that company.
I'm not saying ALL review sites and magazines are like this, but a scaring majority for sure.
^ WELL SAID!!!
& mobileburn has teh BALLS not be any manufacturers FISH!

On a slightly different note - I just spoke to T-Mobile. They said they WILL be stocking the W960.
Alas, no definite date for release.
Seeing as they didnt stock the W950 it's good to hear they will be doing the W960

Does anyone know if the W960 touchscreen is hard glass like the iPhone or is it just the same as the P1?

It's a hard screen that is flush with the surface.

@jimster71:
Haven't seen a post from you for quite a while, hopefully you're still around.
Since you got to play around with the W960i, can you let me know if the 3 soft keys can be pressed not by pressing right on them on screen, but by pressing slightly below (ie. where the 3 Walkman functions play/pause, prev and next are) ? This would mean that that part of the phone is permanently touch-sensitive (not only when Walkman is on) and that would avoid a lot of smudge on the screen.
I'd love to know about that (sorry if it doesn't look like such a big deal to most people !!)
Hi,
Not been on the boards for a bit, just saw your post.
I've just got a new prototype which has a few small improvements. I'll have a check and let you know.
I do think that the audio controls are linked with the keyboard and not the touch screen though.
EDIT: No, you have to touch the screen. The phone is a finger print magnet anyway, so you'll soon forget about things like that.
