Sony Ericsson P990 review: A coveted smartphone
Highly awaited as it is, Sony Ericsson P990 is going to be the flagship of the Sony Ericsson product line. Equipped with every possible current connectivity features, an autofocus 2 megapixel camera, a second video calls camera, a conventional keypad and a QWERTY keyboard, Memory Stick slot, FM radio with RDS, the latest Symbian 9.1 OS, and last, but not least with a large 2.76" TFT touchscreen with a QVGA (240x320 pixels) resolution it surely made the news for many impatiently waiting fans when it finally hit the market.

Tarantula, if you see this be advised that someone is spamming with your name in N93 forum... Or then it was sending from another ip or something.

I use a O2 Atom. Before that I used a Palm T3 along with a Nokia 6230i. I bought the Atom becuase I found I used to forget my T3 but did not forget my phone. So I figured if my phone has a PDA i would have only one gadget to look after.
The Atom took a while to get used to. parrlty becuase the initial ROM was not good, partly becuase i was not a windows user and needed a learning curve and partly becuase the Atom was very slow esp the camera.
Now I considering the P990 why?
a) I found I need tactile numeric keppad. Dialing with a touch screen require too much attention
b) becuase I want something more stable than the Atom and
c) The Atom's software has a few niggles that make for cumbersome usage (I dont want to go into details here as this is not really a Atom thread).
Q: Is the P990 the only PDA-phone that has a tactile keyboard and has a stable OS? What non-wondows (Qtek, Eten, etc...) atlernates are there? Any of these alternates under 150gms?

@MT
Features are basically UiQ itself and touchscreen display are advantage. Talk about programs can be difficult because is an open OS like S60, youll find a lot of different programs in the future. Card scanner and scanner dictionary are very good elements in this phone, E series dont have it, but overally, speking about programs are in the same level (UiQ and S60) because both are open OSs. The UiQ advantage is Touchscreen to fast navigate between menus, and you can play with the phone only with one hand with flip closed, with keypad or jog dial.

Hey guys, (espicialy to UK viewers)
I went into a vodafone store for an upgrade and the told me release date for the P990i is 23rd AUGUST, 2006 (on voda). So not too long now.
If you want it earlier, my mate who works at 02 says they will have it by 18th.
Hope that helps anyone searching for a release date.
