Hi Lexcute,
I'm interested in buying the P990i. where did you buy it for 31K pesos in the Phils? I'm also from Manila, and so far, 35K is the lowest price I found for the P990i.
thanks :D

Hey,
I bought it for a couple of weeks. It's amazing. Everything is great, except: - poor quality on WIFI signal, quite slow menu, and the incompatibility with older software's. Except that it's great.

Hello,
I own P990i now 2 weeks and it's great. Only thing I miss is navigation software. Is there any? I couldn't find it. Does anyone now if Tom tom or others will have navigation for symbian 3 UIQ phones?

This is the *worst* phone I have owned in the P800/900/910 series. It would take pages to write down all the failings of this phone and I will be returning it and going back to my P910. Given how late the release is, it is unforgiveable. Some key points:
* Very unstable - always running out of memory with only the basic apps running, very frequent Kernel Exec errors.
* Unbelievably slow compared to previous models (you click the screen to do almost anything and have to wait).
* Phonebook is appalling from usability perspective - no alphabetic "letter" tabs for quick access; can't enter brackets (), spaces or dashes in phone number fields to make it easier for a human to read; synchronisation has unpredictable mapping from Outlook fields; can't change number type (e.g. work->home) from quick "drop-down" lists next to number anymore; useless and distracting (h) or (w) added to end of *every* address field line in display mode; adding extra address fields is way too cumbersome; birthday field is unnecessarily prominent and can't be removed once accidently added (it wasn't obvious to me!); no intelligent handling of "0" from area code - ie. drop when including country code.
* What happened to the very useful clock screensaver from P910???
* Miserly battery (half the milliamp hours of previous) included.
* Stylus is now on wrong side for vast majority of population.
* Business card scanner is a joke - low accuracy means you spend more time correcting than you would have entering in the first place.
* Common settings are hidden down in too many depths/layers of menus. This is ok for rare settings but not for core functionality.
* Change from P910 focused too much on worthless aesthetic "gloss" (graphics which slow everything down) and not enough on getting device to work fast, efficiently and with streamlined workflow for common tasks.
I have worked in HCI/usability for almost 15 years and could mention many more points but don't have the energy to waste...

Hi, Jez!
You've done better than I have! Only 3 handsets in under two weeks!!
Cheers!

My 4th handset in only 3 weeks arrived today and it has pretty much the same faults as all the others!
The OS is VERY slow and as a result it takes 2 or 3 rings before the CLI is linked to your contacts to display the callers name. This means that most of the time, personal ring tones cannot be used. The phone constantly crashes / locks up. The middle button that is the most freqently used is hard to press. The screen saver/lock keeps flicking on and off wasting the battery. Also, I find if you answer a call too quickly, then the call is rejected.
Mmmm. Roll on the P995 !!!

Hi all,
As a full experienced Sony P-series fan i have to point out a few items. The p990 works slower then every other P-series. Has multiple software problems and restarts out of the blue. I have used all p-series manufactured in history and have never experienced these problems before. Now the good part: firmware upgrades wil be available at your service points most probably.So don't be afraid, this phone is still the best around and has all the connectivity this world has to offer.
