Finally, I have invested quite a tidy sum in MS Pro Duo sticks (5 gigabytes in total), which would be worthless with any later SE model.

The P910 is an amazingly sturdy phone: I've had mine since 2005, have dropped it on concrete at least three times and I have only two scuffmarks to show for it; it's still on its first battery and going strong; I reboot it only marginally more frequently than my Itablet (and that one's been going since september last year!). Best money ever spent!

(I said I was going to replace it with a cheapo BT 3G phone, but the P910 just refuses to die)
Fair enough. I'm just saying because all the people I know with 910's ended up replacing them with 990's etc. The UIQ3 is quite nice.

You haven't seen my friends (he's got a P990 now) but his one has been water damaged and dropped from a bridge. When it was water damaged, the power button failed so he would boot it up with the charger and when it dropped, the ports failed with the charger. End of that phone :P.
But if the rest of the phone still works, like you say, it is very sturdy.
