Hello.I have just bought this phone and it's wonderful,but I have one question:why won't the display backlight turn itself off when charging?Does any of you know how I can turn it off?Thanks
To Mr. Anon, I totally understand what you've experienced. My problems with O2 weren't of the same magnitude but still fairly irritating - I had to change from consumer to business connection and lost all my loyalty points and had to buy the phone from scratch despite having bills in excess of 120GBP per month. However, I did get my handset less than 5 days later and am fairly pleased with it. No bugs as yet, touching timber. I looked at the HTC model but the lack of the qwerty keypad was a major negative as mobile email is a key feature for me (hence changing from O2 consumer to O2 business who offer larger data tariffs). I still prefer O2 because, working abroad a lot, I've never had a coverage issue with them in the past, which was a big problem when I used to be with T-mobile about 2-3 years back. Maybe things have changed since...I don't care to check. Ultimately the O2 blue branding is far more manly than the pink of T-Mobile. T-Mobile is for nancy-boys...

I would strongly recommend you leave 02 as they are an incompetent bunch of fools. After telling me my P990 was on its way, I was happy. After 2 days it never came, and was told it would be with me the following day. No phone, rang them again to be told they could not trace my order. Placed the order again, no phone, rang back to be told there was no order and that if I wanted the P990 it would cost me £149 (no charges mentioned previously).
Needless to say I told them to stick their contract, ordered a HTC P3300 from T-Mobile with free sat nav (they call it the MDA Compact 3), it was delivered the next day and was the best decision I ever made. It pi55es on the P990i from a great height, and the service I received from T-Mobile has so far been superb. I will never give another penny to 02 they are an unprofessional incompetent shower of shyte.
you cannot remove the orange sidebar on the orange p990i, also the rss feeds will not work
If you have fat fingers you have 2 options:
(a) Don't buy this phone
(b) Exercise
does anyone know how to download the attachments from mail?
nice one ravi i agree with you
for people who always cry and are never happy, just get a life. Its an awesome phone and a great device. The business card scanner is an awesome feature and the access to the web is simply mindblowing. Please use it as a PDA and not your hifi laptop. After all it is a phone which offers you so many features and benefits. For those who are not happy just cut the crap and scrap off your phones. Somewhere in the bottom of your heart, you guys too love your phone. No other manufacturer has a better touch screen device than our own beautiful p990i. With some more latest software updates in the pipeline, there's no reason why i shouldn't be using it atleast for the next 2 years.
Cheers

I used to own the P900 and currently the P910.
I've also got the wife on the SE bandwagon by buying her a M600i (and learnt the new OS on that while setting it up for her ) .
Recently I managed to take a P990 out for an extended trial.
Summary peeves.
#1: 5 way jog dial became 3 way jog dial . Same as M600i. The 5 way jog dial is the singular most useful tool on P910 - this is a whole leap backwards and make the dial... ordinary!
#2: On the P910 you could ignore the useless keyboard when it was flipped open & just use the UIQ input. Operated my P900 with the flip totally. On the P990, the flip is a worthless block on the worthless keyboard (unless you wanted to break your fingers - did they do any usability studies ? )
- IMO they should dump the Keyboard and just put the Numeric keypad there.
There, that's it. 2 usability functions, everything else I could handle.
Shame as I loved P-series before this phone.
Everything time I see the useless keyboard my blood pressure boils, and if by reflex I tried to use the 2 missing motions of the Jog dial I go insane. I've decided to forego the aggravation and returned the unit.
Shame, shame, shame on SE for this and for kicking me out of my comfort zone!
Anyone has a better phone to recommend?
Hi,just got my phone on orange network ,does any one know how to remove the the bar on left hand side.??
Can someone tell me how well it works with transferring files from pc to phone, and if the phone can be used along with a bluetooth enabled projector to do power point presentations?
Very happy P990 user! wonder if anyone can help me? I bought a 1GB sandisk memory duo pro and it isnt working! when I put in the phone it is recognised but it is not creating the system folder etc in file manager. So when Im saving directly to the card it doesnt work? I tried formatting the card in my phone and its still no good? Have a got a dodgy disk or should it work staraight away? Thanks all for your advice!
also, i wish it has a 3.2 mp cam like k800.
GEESH!!! i'm using an n73 right now and am very satisfied but this p990 phone is great. it would have been better though if it has edge. otherwise its one of the best phones in the market. hope it becomes cheaper though. :-)

It doesn't work for me.

Hello Everybody

My email is: gurbhur@yahoo.com
Thank you!
can anybody teach me how to download a software that can make this p990 available to recieve and send chinese sms e-mail?????
Has anyone on O2 UK experienced any problems with their P990i? This is posed only to those who've purchased their handset directly from O2. Have they really ironed out all the bugs or are there still complications with the handset??
am at crossroads, is it M600, W950 or P990 that am gonna buy, jokes aside sony ericsson makes good phones with superb funtionality plus extended battery usage time! Whatever i choose, ill never go wrong!
