Hey,

I got my shiny new P1i yesterday and was just wondering if anyone could suggest some must have apps for me to play around with as I have a memory card screaming to be filled!

Cheers

I had an M600i for a while, really really nice phone, the biggest problem I had with it was the lack of decent apps and the slowness of UIQ, I then moved to a Nokia E65 and both of those problems went away.
I'm hoping with the P1 that they'll have improved the latter, but I don't think the app situation will have been much improved, the built in browser is poor compared to the S60 one, and I couldn't find a decent RSS reader for UIQ anywhere, the built in one cuts articles short and doesn't support images, those two features are probably the most used on my phone, the only thing the M600i did well was email.

How are you finding the phone? Did you upgrade from a p990i?

Apps wise I'd reccomend swiss manager, tomtom6, googlemail java app, etc.

Hi,

I've not really had time to play with the phone fully, but my first impressions are that are pretty good. The sound quality off it is really good, i've found voice calls to be nice and clear and the volume of the tones is more than acceptable.

Not had times to play around with the browser etc yet but will have a look at them over the weekend. Texting I found to be really easy and can stream off messages now nearly as quick as on a normal keypad.

I upgraded from a D900, never got a P990 as it just didn't really do it for me, but this phone seems incredibly similar to the P900 and P910 i've had previously just in a much tighter, efficient and better presented unit.
