I finally settled on the M600I (seeing that I couldn’t locate a single shop in Malmö who had the P990 in stock the decision was pretty easy).

So far it has been a nice experience, more will certainly follow on this.

One minor trick was to get all of my contact (which is stored in my Mac iCal), after some research i came up to a solution that will have to do for now.

  1. Set your iCal to use vCard 2.1 (default seems to be 3.0) Preferences => vCard => 2.1
  2. Select all your contact (or the ones you want exported)
  3. Drag the selected contact into your desktop or folder, a file called something similar to “FIRST-ENTRY IN ICAL and 146 others.vcf” will be created.
  4. Beam this file to you M600 with bluetooth, run the file on the cellphone and voila, your finished.

I guess that will have to do until full iSync is available (note i don’t sync my appointments with my mac at the moment, they are synced with my current clients Windows PC running Outlook 2003)

Well, I have nothing to complain on with the Razr technically, but I am seriously missing allot of the features of my P910 (like descent calendars, qwerty-keyboard, good email support and so on). I am looking for a replacement for the Razr, I think I have come down to 2 alternatives namely the SE M600I and the (Finally released) P990.

I am currently leaning towards the M600, since I never use the camera and the smaller form-factor of the M600 seems nice. Currently none of the devices have support for iSync but I bet support will follow shortly.

I have surfed the net for advice, and for the P990 there isn’t that much information (the only started shipping this week), and the M600 seems to be suffering from somewhat buggy software (although i suspect the P990 has the same problems since it’s built on the same platform). Also it seems somewhat hard to get your hands on the P990.

Do anyone have any experience with either of the devices, all feedback is appreciated.
