@Kitsune,my contract with MTN will be ready for an upgrade next year October Mfethu,so l'll wait for the w950 till then.It feels like forever to tell you since l can't wait for this baby.
As for the requested advice,since you like the w950 more I think you should go for it Bro,even though it's gonna cost you & you won't have to worry about memory(4G).The P990 is a good phone as well,but in your case you'll be stuck with only 64Mb,l don't think you'll enjoy the P990 with such small memory.I think you should just close your eyes and pick up the w950.Hope this helps.
As for me,it's Oct next year and l think the price would have dropped by then and more uiq3 apps available!

Another classic spotted on eBay, this time a new (!) Ericsson R380w smartphone! Gonna leave this one though...
I had one of these about 4 years ago.
Could only use O2 and Vodafone SIMs in it, due to the GSM 900 and Yank GSM 1900 frequencies of the 'w' model.
At £59 on BIN, it ain't bad at all for this classic, although the seller is asking £15 for postage, which is ridiculous.
To think there was some bloke on eBay selling 8 of these new for £27.99 last year...would love to know where they locate these old classics in new condition.
A pity this handset didn't have Bluetooth...

@da wanqsta: I can remember when the R380 came out circa 2000/2001...it was the best thing I'd ever seen, a phone that could be used as PDA running off the predecessor to Symbian with a nice design...only snag was that it came without GPRS.

@ da brixsta,
I can relate to that well. Around 2001, when I first saw that keypad of the otherwise ordinary looking /// phone fold down to reveal a massive touchscreen display with smartphone/PDA functionality back then, it completely won me over...a PDA 'in disguise' if ever there was; I mean it almost looked like an ordinary R320 until that keypad was flipped open.
The R380 was indeed another true /// classic.

I've had the most unlucky 3 weeks of my life. First my handbag got stolen, and i thought i was so lucky that they didn't get my phone. Then an idiot pushed me and my baby into a swimming pool. And she died. And then cell c decided to piss me off with their stupidity and deny me my gprs settings for 2 weeks. Growl.

@ psycho, my gosh, i thought it couldn't get worse than the handbag thing, then cell c has to give you crap as well....So your phone is a "She"? So what you gonna do from here? Another tip, and any metaller should know this: avoid the water...it gives life, it cleans, it purifies....the last thing you want! Water will claim the evil of technology....lol!
I must say, I was never big on phones up until the point where they actually got good, with cameras and internet and video and cool games. Back in the day I could do all that on my PC, I did not have a life so the PC was always around, and I could do a lot on that. Now that technology has caught up and is actually comparable, it is a totally different story. Phones are getting really interesting. I can't wait to see what they will be like in 2 years....

@ psycho,
Hell, you've had more than your fair share of poefie over the past few months. Hopefully The Psychnymphe Ship will be navigating through far less troubled waters in '07.
PS: I hope your exams went OK.
