MY new 9500!!!

Got my 9500 and I find it easier to use than my SE P900. The only gripe I have is number of available softwares in the market (unlike the UIQ or S60s).

-The screen is awesome (much better than the P900).
-WIFI is great! Though it eats up a lot of battery.
-No T9 (I don't use it anyway).
-It's got flight mode too (or offline profile).
-The contacts spp is very detailed.
-Easy setup of connection options.
-Very good battery life.
-Easy to use and navigate keyboard.

Thanks for that! I like the comparison with the P900, since I'm in the same situation (having a P900, might go for 9500)

If you say WLAN eats up a lot of battery, how much does it eat it up. Will the battery last a day (around 16 hours that is) with WLAN on?

That is GREAT! 😃 I guess watching it fullscreen is even better. Could you please post some pics of that as well!

Wow! Thanks for the quick reply. This looks like a truely good browser to me. I wish the shop I pre-ordered it from had it in stock....

Don't worry, you will possibly get one sooner or later 😃 I will / have to wait at least until January 😞 since I can't get a new phone from my company anymore this year. So first week in January I hopefully join the club... 🙄

Using wifi for about an hour or so lessens battery time by about 25% (just an estimate). There are a lot of variables though when it comes to battery life. In my experience, signal strenght is also very important (the 9500's signal strength is much better than the P900's).

I find my new 9500 easier to use especially the keyboard (P900's character recognition using the stylus sucks and I am very used to graffiti for I have been using a Palm PDA for about 10 years now).
