I originally bought the P800 and liked everything but the size. The I got the P910i because it was just much more cool and I liked it. Now I have a P990i and I have never owned a worse phone. First issue (not the most important, though) I have a Jabra JX-10 bluetooth headset. These do not work together. Worse issue; the phone frequently sends a busy signal when I try to answer a call. Last week I wanted to make a call and did so. As soon as the phone started ringing the display switched to "Idle" and I did no longer have the option to hang-up or stop calling. I had to wait until the telephone network decided my call was not going to be answered. The telephone regularly forgets to switch the backlight off, thereby draining the battery quickly. I must restart for this porblem to go away. Every once in a while the phone will tell me to replace the main battery ( got the phone in °october. I am no longer able to sync the phone with Outlook. No contacts are updated in the phone. What's more, more often than not, when I place the phone in the deskstand my pc crashes (Win XP) I realize this is probably a bug in the sync software and not the phone. The list goes on and on. Tech support on the SonyEricsson page takes about a week to respond and even then will only respond to one question at a time even though my help requests have consisted of 4-6 issues. The SonyEricsson dealer over here claims not to find anything (thus essentially calling me either a liar or that I imagine these problems) The last visit resulted in a firmware upgrade that fixed nothing. The dreadfully slow device got a little faster, but that was all. This is a terrible device. I intend to attempt to return it and buy me something altogether different. At worst I will throw the phone in the trash. It is utterly unusable.

to ryurina
yes it is, actually the package comes with a complete version of the apps.:-D
for pacha
I think importgsm.com has the best offer. around $460.00. you can also get optional extended warranty... good company!
I got it...
It already on the phone.
Thanks
To Kenny :
Is the application ( Ms Office ) already installed when i buy the phone?
Thanks

is that going dead you're mentioning meaned the phone runs out of battery? if it is. well the check the type of the battery itself, and consult to the customer center nearest to you, else the firmware update hasn't yet been improved the battery performance which i think requires your patience for waiting until the newest firmware comes,.
i think the users must report every unusual happenings on their P990 to this site=D. please do it.
To Ryurina:
You can create Word and Excel documents. You can view also Pdf and Power Point but not create/edit. There are some nice options for creating Word and Excel. In word you can use colors, font size and thickness - almost anything You need in Word. About games - I don't use them at all... Use my P990 as a work tool + internet + pictures.

opera 8.0 internet browser. if you ask how good is it, as a desktop browser, it's the best and the fastest. if in javaMEphones, only reliable internet browser, and in P990 can be inferior to S60's web browser but is faster and more reliable for it can have tabbed sites at once.

worrying about the sftware issues has been ended by the latest software update available at sonyericsson.com. this is one of the best things about SE. they come with 1 or two high-end smartphones and not rushing to produce phones with so many features but come to resolve software bugs and any other issues after some worthy waiting. one thing i can't see at nokia's one even nowadays. a slap to the face of the nokia N-series users and the company itself.
Ryurina:
as a business phone it can edit, view and send office files/docs. just like the E-series communicators, but this is much, much, better because of the redundant arrays of messaging input types like qwerty keyboard, flip alphanumeric keyboard with T9, jogdial, touchscreen keyboard and stylus.
it can accomodate 3rd party applications, i think the file extension should be .sisx(in UIQ version) but unfortunately it is still barely seen. but i think there's some at handango.com
To Doministry,
Hi... Thanks for your reply.
And how about the application?
Can i open, edit and create Ms Office document in P990i?
I like playing games, such as Insaniquarium, can i install that games into P990i?
What kind of games that i can install?
Thanks a lot
