TABKAP, 10 Dec 2008:( Soryy 4 being so ignorant and being 2 anonying keeping asking this questions, but my p1 on ... moreHey no problem! And its not being ignorant its being curious and wanting to make the most out of your phone thats what this forum is for! Im just glad people are still interested in this phone!
About java games. First of all, i think the w610 has a lower resolution screen so try to get games with the 240x320 resolution so u can enjoy them in full screen. Abt them being slow thats because all smartphones have lower java benchmarks than java based phones. And you can use your keypad, when you open a java game, click the ALT key twice. That activates your numpad and you can use the numkeys to navigate the menus and play the games just like any other phone! Also for the select keys (the ones on the bottom of the screen) u can use the touchscreen to press them! So u can easily navigate any java app or game!
To acess your phone memory, when you plug your usb, select phone mode, then in the sony ericsson pc suite for smartphones select the phone browser icon and you can access ur phone memory. Note it is a bit slow but it works!
U can get many apps and mods through the website www dot ipmart-forum dot com (no spaces and instead of dot .) scroll down to the uiq devices section there are tutorials as well! Make sure you register so u can be able to download.
Always glad to help!

TABKAP, 09 Dec 2008Hello, thank u 4 helping me choosing this phone is really good! but i have another questions t... moreyou can keep the light on by clicking on the battery on the top then settings then click Handheld and set to ON, this way the backlight will always be on but will dim down just a bit (i think you also have to uncheck the power saver). you can also get a free application called smart backlight from ipmart, that app allows you to automatically keep the light on on the programs you want. Like if you set it to stay on for walkman and notes (like me) the light will remain on only if walkman or notes are on and when you exit (even if they are still running in the background) the light will turn off).
About zooming, when you open a pic in fullscreen mode, click on the box in the top right corner and check the zoom box, then you can use the jog dial to zoom in and out and once zoomed in you can use your finger to sweep around the pic or click anywhere in the small pic to quickly head to that spot. This is the downside of the P1, the w960 has a better method and that is the volume button which automatically zooms in when a pic is open. But the qwerty keyboard of the P1 puts it waayyy ahead in usability!
Hope this helped!

TABKAP, 06 Dec 2008Tank u 4 the repli Rici, im buying this phone tomorrow, i just have 2 more questions and i hop... moreHey, before i answer you questions i mus say that I've owned the P1 for 7 months and it is the best phone i have ever owned, my favorite feature has to be the keyboard! Its simply amazing!
Ok, i have a 4gb m2 in mine and i have had it in there since i bought it and had no trouble whatsoever. I have an 8gb card but i have never tried it in my P1 since i use it for my PSP. But im sure it will work flawlessly since the W960 has 8gb built in and it has the same hardware as the P1.
About the zooming well you can but there is a long way about it since the major flaw of the P1 is the lack of hardware volume/zoom buttons.
The mp3 player is ok, the quality is great (megabass too) and the interface is like walkman 2.0 but there is a mod that can run the same walkman 3.0 player as W960 and it runs great! Also the volume is a bit low but there is also a mod to raise the volume.
The video recording is at 320x240 pixels and abt 384 kbps quality and 15 frames per second. There is also a mod that boosts the video recording to 512 kbps and 30 frames per second. It also improves the image quality as well.
There are also numerous mods including adding the g900 torch and notes applications.
For all those mods go to www.ipmart-forum.com and create a user and just search the uiq section. There are all sort of tutorials too. The things you can do with a P1 are quite limitless!
Like i said, this is the best phone i have ever owned and it will remain so till when i buy an XPERIA X1. I am still reluctant on selling the P1 and will most probably keep it as a backup and who knows? I might miss it one day and pick it up for a while!
Enjoy your P1, I sure as hell did!
