I think that this phone will move the frontiers between mobile phones and PDAs much closer.
*****

I agree Saso. This looks like a killer device.

this phone is just too spectacular!!! its going to be the best in the world in 2006!!

yeah, going to be a great phone whats the release date in the UK? I have the P910i and will not change it for any other handset!

I have been using the SE P-series phones ever since. I now have the P910i and very excited to get my hands on this much-hyped P990i with all the qualities of the best phones in the market- like a 2-mp autofocus camera, Wifi, FM radio,etc. Its unbelievable. Just wondering now how much it will cost.

I have had a p910i since it was released and its awesome...i m so getting this...the perfect phone

its just too goood to be true . Cant wait to get my hands on one.when is it gonna be available?

"SonyEricsson" ... The Name says it All.
I m using P910i and m quite sure ..i m not gonna change the phone with any other brand & model.
Its SPECTECULAR,GREAT & Eye Catching.
P990i seems to be the one ... Which will replace My P910i.

oh my god! this is so cool.. need to save money to get this one.:)

I am also a P910i user and was looking for the replacement. THIS IS IT.
Once you have experienced the usability and accessibility of its functions, it’s hard to use anything else.
Looks great handset and I am going to be one of the first people to have that for sure.

Can't wait to have one. I still own a P800. First I wanted to buy a P900, then very soon the P910i followed. Glad I waited this long. Skip two phones and buy this one as soon as possible.
Only the clip seems too big for the device. Very nice features. Screen seems smaller than the ones on the P800/P900/P910, but it's probably the difference in aspect ratio (208x320 -> 240x320)

As always, SE's products are the best.
Does anyone know how much this P990i will cost at the market?

Does it play music or have the softward to play music?

Yeah!!!

To tiger
yez it does play music and that is for sure i will have it I own 3 p910i already and I have had p800 and p900 so i cant miss this pretty one

for over a year now, i've been using a p910i, and i will only replace it with the p990i, with the extra features, i can't wait, and everyone nows that sony ericsson are the best. anyone know what the proccessor speed has been clocked at?
need it to be MUCH faster than my p990i, although, i will buy this beauty anyway!

i of course meant my p910i, sorry to all

what the proccessor speed of the p990i (is it faster than my p910i) and does anyone know when its out in uk?

cool p990i is the one for me i wonder how much is it worth it

i have usd the nokia 7610 and 6260. till the announcment date P990i, i have decided to buy the n90. now i have turned my heads to the p990i .what's it price and release date . with auto focus and touch screen it will be awiinner in all aspect. regrads unni

To all fellow p910i owners: THE SCREEN IS TOO DAMN SMALL! Why on earth did they do that?
Ah well. I still need UMTS, but... meeh.

is the internet free on p990i?

Le Prix. S.V.P

UK - Jan 2005

Sorry Jan 2006
doh!

The phone looks great but i wanna know if it has an fm radio and EDGE?

I have a p910i, but does this p990i has larger screen or smaller than the p910i, if smaller then I don't want to know.

must know the processor speed! anyone?
be stupid not to get this phone! well worth £500 ot of my pocket!
flash or just photo light? (not that i'm complaining, better than any light on the p910, no good for skinnig up!)

Used the p910i since it came out and have been looking forward to the obvious step forward to a 2 megapixel camera. I have used the p800 & p910i without the flips and keyboard, i am quite guttered that the p990i still has a keypad present when the flip is removed as it seems to sacrafice the screen size for it (i know the pixel count on the screen is bigger but the screen is definately smaller!). Sorry to b1tch as yes it does still look like a fantastic step forward again!

p.s Just photo light with flash accesorie available.

ATTENTION Y'ALL: IF YOU ARE GOING TO SELL YOUR P910i EMAIL ME. THANKS AND NICE PHONE, NOT SURE IF MY WALLET WILL BE ABLE TO ACCOMODATE IT.

sweeeeet fone. gonna get the 1st piece if i can. preordered already thru expansys. using an se z800i rt now so its not such a big move but hey, a fone lyk dat, cant resist can u

But I want it now!
The processor speed on P990i is 208 MHz, I think, at least it was so on a prototype.
It has WLAN 802.11b support, so you can connect to the Internet through wireless networks.

yea, wifi will be sweet, i'm set up ready for it!
will the bluetooth connection be faster? and will this phone be available sim free? (please yes, i'll pay anything to stay on o2 pay and go!)

cheers quadduc, 208, that'll do, for now

is there any news on a newer model than the p990? for example the p1000? just rumours i've heard possibly?

heard that it will be a world wide release in end of q1 2006. hope there is a prototype for me to play around with soon....

my guess for the price would be USD840, then again i could be wrong.

yes, it comes with radio, wifi, 3G and the works. think it even vacumn your house. keep in touch through jasonl@wmdservices.com. :)

This is the 3G PDA phone I have been waiting for. It has Wi-Fi, supports BlackBerry email, good camera, FM radio and good battery power. Can't wait to test it out.

the keyboard on on the back of the flip on the p910 was a failure why did they put on the phone and made the screen smaller, I love SE but this was very stupid!!!

This can be better if they put the P910 flip on it! the screen size was perfect!
anyway it cover the only big weaknest of P910 ... The camera.
Im very angry cuz im in Mexico and i need to wait years to ge this phone!
Anyone know if i can use the P990 here(buying it in another country)?
i dont care if it gets more expensive!
Love P Series!

I dont think this phone will be available in America anytime soon.

This is going to be the ultimate phone!

can't wait for this phone to be aviable to America if you know when let me know

Can't wait to store my p900 and get ready for newer, better and hotter. Finallly, no more SE and especially not this one. Great idea; make the screen smaller to incorporate a completely useless keyboard. Glad I ordered a Qtek 9100.

i found diz wed site with a price if u can make any sence of it http://www.webandpepper.ch/product_info.php?products_id=203

its really perfect...keepit up.

its really perfect...keep it up.

I am a proud owner of a p900 and I love it. I am sure like all SE P series phones it's features are good too. But the screen looks small compared to P800/900/910i. The keyboard is useless, I prefer the virtual keyboard.

Hmm... 802.11 - and a video phone... so we can expect some SIP software as well - so whilst in Wifi range - it can connect to my Asterisk box - Kool. Now thats a phone to have around the office.

Now that's what I have been waiting foir...the P990i....it's the dogs gonads....I'm deffo waiting for this sucka...just about to buy a new phone (upgrade from P910i)...but noting compares....my prayers have been answered!!!

i'm also using P910i.. and definitely a die-hard sony ericsson fan! i love all their phones.. they're the best! nothing else comes close ---not even that N-- phone! haha!

i want to buy 10 of thhese p990i where do i get them its for my family

GUYS....GUYS, STOP asking questions other people for specs, just go too www.sonyericsson.com and find out yourself and stop being so lazy. Saying "does it have a radio" is not useful to anyone but yourself.

Furom man

Sony Ericsson really dropped the ball on this phone!!! I am SOOOOO disappointed. Why did they stick a keyboard on the phone? I wish it was removable. They should have improved the hand-writing recognition software to capture words and sentences (like Qtek does) and not just letter by letter!!! They could have added a GPS application...
The features on the phone are excellent, but they took WAY TOO LONG to put it to market, at least 12 months late. I will not swith my P910 for this phone, I will wait for the competition's answer before deciding and i am sure it's gonna be better than the P990.

Jak,
That site looks like it prices in Swiss Francs, so 1250 translates to around 550.00 ukp which is slightly cheaper than I thought, but then again, I expect prices in the UK won't be a literal translation. If we're lucky it might just be under the 600 quid mark.
Still going to get one though!

anybody knows what will be the price of this thing,

its going to be $976.00 !
or 1250 frank.

oops.. Cool guys why dont just get a O2 instead!!!

How will it work with an apple system?

The P990i will be formally released end of Jan. We are working on the phone, due to few problems and making sure there are no bugs. Value is £500 offline..symbian we like to take our time to perfect our phones..i hope you guys enjoy the new phone as much i do..as i am using it right now..

P990i takes some beating, however battery life has to be questioned, a smaller screen why?, unrealistic qwerty keyboard why? WLAN 802.11b support, why not g? 3G? Brilliant if you like calls to be terminated at random.. Must be the best phone out but still a way to go to impress me!

It seems to me too slow microprocessor for such an amount of features

soni ericsson are the best phone once use u donot like any other my contract is running out on 11th nov 2005 and i need it asap now can u tell me when will get one in LONDON UK thank u

hmmm..im going for the p910i..much cheaper..and no crappy,useless, un-removable keyboard...bigger screen..more pda-like if you ask me..the p990 seems a bit too much like a phone..if i want a phone il get a k750i and flash it to a w800..lol

FFS I've been w8ting for this phone for so long and it has this F@#$in keyboard? WHYYYY? Plz sonyericsson tell me why you made the Pz from a PDA AND PHONE To a simple phone?

salam be hamege
khaile gosheie tope hastesh

sonyericsson p990i

any guys from SE here? (i hope Formal SE is). i've been using my p910i for over a year now and its been great. its like a baby to me (next only to my gf of course, :)))

then comes p990. with all the hype given to it, i was superbly, astoundingly impressed with the new features that the fone brought along - the wifi, the 2 mp camera, the resolution, the works,wowww!!!! BUT WHY DID SE SACRIFICE THE WIDE SCREEN OF THE P910i ON THE P990 MODEL? Aarghhhhh!!! It pains me to see that they stick a keyboard on the precious space when the handwriting recognition software was doing way way better than the keyboard..AAAAAAAAAAAhhhh! or a virtual keyboard would have been fine, right?

Anyway, the SE guys still have 2 months to go before the release date. it would be soooooo much appreciated if the keyboard is removable.

I DID NOT LIKE THIS PHONE CUZ I DID NOT LIKE ITS SHAPE AND P910i IS BETTER THAM THIS SHAPE WISE NOT FEATURE WISE THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN IT A DYSHING LOOK

This phone rocks, it has all the features the p910i does not have! And if u dont like it u a fag!

The only problem with this phone is that the screan is smaller and the flip opens onto querty instead of having it on the reverse otyherwise i am definatley having this phone i dont care.

yipp, yippy..... have the p910i.... now cant get sleep over the p990i..cant wait

does anyone have a sony P910i for me?

what can do to buy it from any one of you?

hehehe...itz very nice and i think its the most perfect and cool stuff compare all the umits nor cellphones that had remade....

The price is about $850.00 to $900.00, I will recieve on on Sunday.
The Screen size is the same as the 910i but it is higher resolution, it is 2.8" screen.

The screen size is smaller than its predecessor when the flip is open, don't you guys think so?

I totally agree with franky_ztein points!!!

-Proud owner of p910i :)

does the P990i support "seeing the phonebook" in the display of the HCB-700 bluetooth carkit. the P900 and P910 does not. Hope this is now supported in the P990i.

pleease guys tell me if the software of the phone supports MAC OX tiger....

nawet fajny ten telefon. tylko ze muj sony ericsson p910i ma wiekszy wyswietlacz a ten ma tylko UMTS :D

Dear Friend's I Have SE P990i 2 PCS.I Want To Sale It Whats The Best Prise I'll Give It......!

Dear Friend's I Have a 2 SE P990i I Want Best Prise To I'll Give It.....
My E.mail Is afm7a7@yahoo.com

Hi every one, P990i seems to be a killer phone and I have read all the comments above. See, no one can be satisfied with all their demands. There is nothing called a perfect phone and if there could be one, in the near future, just watch its price, hardly any one will buy it. I am still amazing, if EIL launches P990i in India at around price of 45K, people will start thinking of O2 and HP smart phones. This phone is near perfect and hey guys, just see the prices quoted above...its nerve wrecking!!!!

whens the release date for this fone? w990i

The screen is the same size as p910...

If, it's true, the p990a will have a bigger screen without the qwerty

No, the screen is bigger in 990. It's wider so it looks smaller.

Does anyone know where can i buy the P990i?

As the name suggests SE... the best one can get. I am using p900 for the last 1.5 yrs and quite happy with the performance. I was looking for the change during last few days. It just happened that i read the review about p990i. Now I would like to stick untill its out in market. Lookwise and feature wise its awesome, but unfortunately the screen is bit smaller than its earlier versions.

M direly waiting for its release...

WoW! Since first laying eyes on this peice I simply can't get it out of my head. All my friends can't wait for it to be in my hands so I could stop ranting about it. This will definitly be the all-in-one to have! Music/video/connectivity/ FLASH - Bling Bling. I'm lacking sleep.....

this phone is fu**in awsome i want, its killin mi dat i cant get 1,
wen does it come out

sooooooon i hope !!!!!!

PEOPLE PLEASE GET ME P990i I WANT TO BUY 2 OF THESE. IT ROCKS!!!

Anyone know when this thing will be released in the UK?

They sure did their part with this promo thing.
Any idea when ? if they'll strech it too long- people will just get alternatives...

Ive used the all the Mobiles of P series From Sony Ericsson at the moment i have P910i and i cant wait to get hold of this amazing piece of technology any one know wen it will be releasing

p990i made in wich country?
p900 and p910 made in french,i want to know that this cell phone made in french too

yep i agree this is one hell of a device but i'm hoping that we don't have to offer arms and legs for this... i hope this is not THAT expensive

When is it comin to RSA...I canºt wait. This has been my fone from the minute I saw it..My palm is already iching..

Hi Frinds ...

since october everybody is asking for the price and release date...IS THERE FINALLY SOMEBODY OUT THERE WHO KNOWS OR WHO IS GONA ANSWER...?? JEEZZ.
FIRST QUARTER.. YEAH YEAH ... WHEN IS THE Q !!!!!

Asswipes... The phone is not going to be $500.. The price is $1000 - 1299.. Try to look at welectronics.com . I've seen 1 website that sell p990i for $1000 but im not going to tell you.. hehe

P.s. welectronics.com- (pre-order)

i've seen and read about p990i. it's really amazing. may I know how is this in Singaporean dollar and when it will be release here in singapore?

PLEASE visit this site. And make your holiday unforgettable.!!!

http://www.travelwithus.mn

how long should i wait for this, its already 1st queter

i think p990i will never be release. something gone wrong. there is a mistake or a kind of problem had happened. it will never be an annocement for the release. unfortunatly i will not wait any more... :(

yeah, going to be a great phone whats the release date in the pakistan? I have the P910i and will not change it for any other handset

In india its gonna cost around 40000 bucks. Its all worth as P910i was around 23000.

heard that, it will released on mid of July.
and worth USD800 ~ 850

if not sure for launch than dont show model waiting for p990

I've really enjoyed the p910i, and am looking forward to the p990i. couple of concerns as pointed out earlier (smaller screen, 802.11b, not g). But what the heck, the phone looks like it can handle 95% of the functions I need.

Now on the software!! Will the software developed for the p910i work on the p990i? is this version of symbian OS downward compatible?

Also, there is not decent GPS software for the US market. Any comments on that?

man its too expensive ill stick with the p910

Guys, the $1000-1299 prices you are seeing on those websites are pre-order prices.

Those sites are just selling developer models, which do in fact go for 1200 or are charging premiums for "people who just have to have it first". Most times, the phones off of these sites are buggy anyways, cause they tend to be pre-production runs.

When production models are released, they will probably be in the price-range of the P910i when if came out, so around $600-800.

I AM WAITING ,WAITING,WAITING FOR 990i

sony means sony for what every thay do its the best want the best looks and to make every one look at you is the phone is p990 but the price is it still in a rooooooomerrrrrrrrr

This is the one which has made me crazy.

hi,i am waiting p990i,what is the launching date of this megaphone as i heard about this.how much it will cost in india

cant wait to get it i live in jamaica if it sell for 100 million i still want it

SE have redeemed themselves with this beauty.Forget the many variants of the K750 I.eW810 etc,where the only real difference is memory,they have finally made a real effort to keep their "loyal" SE users.
The release date is still not certain in the Uk,but like my saying goes,"patience is a virtue well rewarded".This is worth waiting for!

I have over 3000 address books with pics in my 910i. I ll be happy if we can learn whether the 910 personal data such as address book be directly transferable to 990 with the full compatibility.?

ATTENTION: Plz if someone is selling his/her p900/910/990 just drop me an email at usmanghani786@hotmail.com with ur price and spec. of the mobile.

This is an amazing gadget. It has every feature for professional business man for his day to day life. I also read couple of it reviews around. One simply said, "SE P990i - Jack of all Trades".

Cant wait to buy it.

Do you think it is worth a 45K in India ? By the way, whtz the launch date?

where go p990i in market?

hey, guys, the phone is a real killer indeed! but there is only one thing that's bugging me, ITS SO EXPENSIVE!!! ANG MAHAL LANGYA!!!

does anyone know, what is the real price of the p990i? is it 1000$, 800$ or 600$?

i hope, they can consider the price of the p990i to the currency in the philippines...

i hope they can make it to a more reasonable price... more like 30,000php to 35,000php...

i really do hope that it's not like 1000$ just converted to the php currency, that wud be like 56,000php here in the philippines....

More power to SE!

this phone looks tooo cooool to be true, i already have a p910i and getting ready to replace it with p990i

FILIPINO MAN..I AGREE WITH YOU! NWY, I GUESS ITS AROUND 35K-45K!!!! IM SAVING MONEY NA NGA E.OR ELSE ILL BORROW SOME MONEY TO MY DAD & PAY HIM MONTHLY W/O INTEREST!HEHEHEHEHE SE: HOPE U GIVE US THE INFO ASAP!

Dear Friends,

I have got news that sony ericsson will launch its 990 by June 2006, as they are doing testing and upgradation. The phone is getting launched during June only, as I have got this news directly from sony ericsson so this is not a joke or rumors.

Also Sony Ericsson has announced its new symbian uiq phone. SE M600i, Which is having duel keyboard and also dial pad. As this will be launched first and then 990i.

And If you get any news then do write me at faizfarooq@gmail.com

Regards,

Faiz Farooq
Mumbai - India

this phone is fabbbb i just hope its priced around 23-25k otherwise ill have to shed out my plans to have such a classy phone

I HOPE THY WLL MODIFY THE SET ND LAUNCH IT. PLZ KEEP THE SCREEN BIGGER . THE VIRTUAL KEYBOARD IS MUCH BETER.

I think this phone should be on market now!!! Tired of waiting, most people will get other smartphones.

P990i was due for launch in Singapore in May....however due to certain requirements from the local authorities.... it will be delayed... perhaps june or July. M600i has no Camera....sucks...

I would like to know the availability and the price in Indian Markets.

Can't wait more....

* P990i - I enquire everyday with the dealer-
service center - advised to wait a little
longer and is expected to be launched in
Mumbai in JUNE/maybe July - No ready stocks
of P910i either. Advised to wait.
Price range maybe 35K - 38K as guessed.
Posted: May 27, 2006

They seem to anounce it for the past 8 month or so....

i am waiting for the same from last 1 year. when it will come??????????

Had a word with the Regional Manager (Delhi/India). P990i is scheduled for July06 end. Don't know how much of that's true.....

I have already bought a HP iPAQ hw6500 last year cause I got tired of waiting. I'll just buy the 990i when it comes out and the hype that will make the price unreasonable subsides.

I'm still waiting for this cell phone. I'm getting older and older and I'm about to quit the idea of buying this stuff.

Latest update... Launch postponed to Aug 15... Guess!!!! have waited enough... Time to look at other options.........

how much is the new P900i. and where to buy it in the philippines

Guys,

Just got the look of the new P990i, not sure if this is the one SE is going to release this year, but it looks real cooooooooooool . Any idea how far its true as SE site shows different design. But yeh if this is the one they are going to launch then its going to be party time :)

To view the latest design for SE P990i , click on my name ... Its really cool or copy paste this in ur IE

scancom.co.uk/product.php/1612/729/

Waited 10 months for this Smartphone to be out. Some says first week of August to be launch and now another news saying it will be out on 15 August this year. So when actually will this P990i be out? Heard too much on the features and would really like to hand on with it.... Cheers!

hey guys pleeeasssee tell me when its going to release my p910i is getting old & its baterry gets over too fast Waited 10 months for this Smartphone to be out. Some says first week of August to be launch and now another news saying it will be out on 15 August this year. So when actually will this P990i be out? Heard too much on the features and would really like to use i t dudes

Could you tell me the release date and the time please??

Ok Soory i said time, what i ment was the price....Sorry!

I just spoke to SE Customer service and they said its going to be launched in end of Sept in singapore... Long way to go. Also he mentioned the dates still could change.

Also i got it confirm from SE road show where they were giving prizes who can tell the new PDA phone model from SE, when he asked me the Q "which is the new PDA from SE this year", i told him i will answer provided he let me know when its going to be released, so guys its end Sept :(

They are trying to launch it by end Q3. Lets see, any way i am tried of waiting. Will hibernate now :)

Guys..Gals..the SE P990i is finally launched here in Dubai.There was an advertisement in the papers yesterday that the leading retail outlets here are taking pre-orders for the phone.So me went and got myself a pre-order coupon(its a plastic card with the pre-order number given in a snazzy leather card holder with embozzed SE).Really cool and waiting for the delivery of the phone by 15th of August.The pre-order coupon cost me AED 500 (USD 136) and the price of the phone here is AED 2,795 (USD 760).They will reduce the advance from the cost of the phone.They are launching in small numbers.So finally after all the waiting i will be one of the first people to get the phone here in Dubai...hmmmmm...really good feeling.

:-(( morning everybody!...i think i'll go in depression waiting for this mobile. m getting sicker day after day holding this stupid nokia 7710 from the past 20 months. today i had a chat with sony ericsson c&f, he said that it would not be available before 21st august. i have surfed every possible english website to know about se p990i launch date or its user reviews. many people are claiming that they possess this handset right now. so i request them that if they have this handset then why arent they putting up their pics on net...so that we can worship them...SE is really losing its loyal customers. i would love to ask mr. Donny Mathew that where in dubai did he booked this mobile phone. in dubai there is JUMBO, the biggest sony showroom and for your kind info. they are not taking any bookings.

Mr.Gaurav should check his sources in Dubai before getting to any conclusions.The Pre-Order coupons were available from all the major SE outlets(CellUCom,Comtel,Jumbo,Axiom Telecom etc)The advert on the 990i was just for a day and i guess i was fast enough to go and get a pre-order coupon from CellUCom(Paid AED 500 for this).Take my advice and try to contact another SE agent(CellUCom, ,Axiom etc and not Jumbo) for proper information.If you call Jumbo they would even tell you that Sony has not launched Trinitron yet.

well guys wanna know when in mumbai please if any one knows about it let me know thx

I just won the bid for the p990i on ebay. the seller says he has one in box unopened. I won the bid for $890 canadian. I'm waiting for this payment instructions. I hope that this auction is for real. I too have been waiting a year for this and I hope I'm not being taken for a ride.

okay mr. donny mathew i'll certainly check with other suppliers. my motive was not to challenge you. it was just that i heard about that pre-order coupon from you and not anybody else so in a way i was and i am curious to get some info.
.can i ask you for a favour....if you can give me ur suppliers email id and contact no.
i would be thankful to you.
gaurav11june@yahoo.co.in

Gaurav you can contact any of the following dealers:CellUCom,Fono,Axiom Telecom.You can google these agents and get their telephone numbers and email addresses.I got my pre-order coupon from CellUCom,Airport Road Outlet.Its available at other outlets in Mall of the Emirates and City Centre.I am certain of these places as i have visited them in the past couple of days.One thing i am certain no one here has got the phone in hand yet.According to the dealers the delivery is due by the second week of August.All the best.

Got the preorder coupon from city centre jumbo.
21august2006. mine booking no. is 0231. long waiting list. it seems as if i m buying airbus 380. :). i placed this order from delhi, india. so thanx mr. donny for informing me abt the pre booking. do post your comment whenever you receive p990. b byeeeeee!!!!!!!!

Hi everybody! Specially Don & gaurav! I am also a die hard fan of sony phones & have purchased atleast every model from 290 to p900 till now! I am being fooled by company people to dealer for past 9 months about the availability of p990. even sony ppl never replied to my query regarding the same. Such a reputed company, such par exellence products, but such mysterious network! Don & Gaurav, u both r lucky to get coupons... i am waiting for D day & belive me.. owing a 990i will make me feel owing a goldmine...

Message for CK Ang, you mentioned you bidded for a P990i in US or Canada. My understanding is that it may not work in 3G or GSM network, you may want to check that...

Prem,I am still waiting to get the delivery of the phone..so for now i am still not that lucky...my only hope of getting the phone is the pre-order coupon i have from SE...i was told at the time of ordering that the delivery of the phone would be by the second week of August...then few days back when i checked with the retailer he said it would be by the 28th of August..it was quite dissapointing to hear that but he assured me that it would be for sure delivered this month...so thats in a way a releif considering the long wait for this phone...i hope the decision i am making to buy this phone in the first lot is right..as always the first lots of anything are plagued with firmware issues and other teething problems....anyways its you can say a USD 760(thats the price of the P990) chance i am taking ;-)

that auction I won on ebay was a hoax. ebay contacted me and said the auction was cancelled. it seemed to good to be true. yo donny is that how much they are charging? 760 us? does anybody know if canada or us has the preorder thing? and len far as I know p990i comes in gsm.

I'm having some second thoughts though. SE has been delaying this thing for several months now. last year they said 1Q 2006/then 2Q/then 3Q/and now 4Q. what the @#$% is up? is there seriously something wrong with the unit? or is the os seriously bugged? I mean whats the reason. since they announced this thing over a year ago several other manufacturers came out with 2 or more smart phones and are coming out with new ones this fall as well. SE lost a hell of alot of market share because of their ridiculous delays, don't tell me greedy SE did that on purpose. I think there is something seriously wrong here. I might just wait and see what the others are coming out with in the next couple of months. cuz you know that SE is gonna be overpriced compared to the others and I'm not sure if I want a overpriced phone with bunch of bugs

i hv been waiting fo this phone for a very long time now ( 9 months +) . Looks like not a good idea to wait for it any longer . I feel there are serious software issues that's the reason SE is delayng its launch time and again. I dont thk it will be a good idea to take such a costly phone and then face bugs and waste your time sorting it out.

I AGREE WITH MR. VB. i was so excited that even i bought a 2gb memory stick worth 200 usd. nokia n93 out here in india, i think that handset will also be fine . n93 is 800 usd here(grey market)

Maybe our grandchildren will be lucky to have that mobile. I am not going to wait any longer. I will buy ANY other cell phone. I agree with all you... there are serious troubles with that unit and SE is not capable to fix all that.

hi,'they have launched the handsets in some european countries like sweden and Uk.... there its availble for a very high cost around 5oo pounds... prices will come down in a few weeks time....
mean while htc has launched htc tytn and this according to reviews is a challenge if not better than the much awaited p990.....
SE has made a mistake of releasing this phone very late what ever the issues may be...
Still i would like to have my hands on one of them when it will be released in india...
but if htc becomes available i might go in for that

there are plenty of reviews of these phones especially if you visit the site esato.com

i called up one of the SE dealers in chandigarh and found that it might come to their stores in a week or two...

but as it is already released in europe i think it willsoon become available in india too....

I think we should boycott SE P990i... very disappointing... and i agree with the rest of the boys... the first batch of phones that anyone gets will be full of bugs.... with high cost.... then you wait for the second generation and price to drop..... by then maybe O2 have "Electron", Nokia have E63 version 10....
Also by the time it is launched... 2 meg camera by P990i will be nothing.... soon 5 meg phones will be out.. another disappointment by SE is recently launched K800... they did not have the Carl-zesis(after all cyber shot is famous for Carl-zesis lens) lens but Nokia's N93 and N73 got it.
Looks like SE is really loosing it.... their strategy... gameplan....and forgotten they are in a FMCG market....

Toyboydan

SHUT THE FU@! UP ALL OF YOU...

TY F%#@ you too,
anyways I sold out to SE. I just ordered my P990 and should get it in a couple of days.
IT BETTER NOT BE BUGGED! it cost me $1050 large!

great!! an all in one phone... a vey good competition between dopod 900 and SEp990i

Hi, Just got the price of the phone in Mumbai (india) - cost is 44,000 Rs (Aprox $1000. Currently imported form Dubai for the indian grey market. Price expected to fall by another $ 100 in 2 weeks. will buy the.

mr. devesh sawhney...se p990i yet not launched in dubai...hw can it be smuggled in India....?....and even if it is there in mumbai, then can u plz gimme d contact details of d supplier?...i would b more thn happy to buy it frm mumbai.

honestly i think we r all living in the mobile stone age. the net connectivity wud be snail fast and the handwriting recog is still in its budding stages that it doesnt recog what we want it to... plus voice commands r pretty creaky + tv at 30 fps is 2x slow motion. its just that our ol phone gets monotonous that we want to try these no better enhancements. and cameras have become just as boring. aw this world sucks. take me away.

hey all....990i launched...u can buy it frm www.mobilecityonline.com worth $1,099. you can contact them at 1-212-964-4444.

it's been available in N. america since aug 16th. I got mine through a retailer on ebay for $1050 canadian. I'm gonna charge it good before I start using it. I just wish it was thinner. comparing it to a moto q it's like a brick. but the camera should be super nice. I'll do a mini review

hi the price at malaysia is usd 891 .. is very expensive can buy 1 laptop .......... think about laptop ..this phone nice but price too high

ye..what mr UK said lol

UK? is that a country?
just kiddin, why don't you order it from ebay like i did? I got mine 2 days after ordering.
better yet wait a while there are better phones comin for lower price than the p990. the phones nice, and the camera is a beauty, but its thick, expensive, and no where easy to use as a palm treo 650, and not many apps for it yet. the keys are small and if you remove the flip you don't have the 5way pad and dedicated buttons and if u leave it on it way too thick. seriously the treo 650 i had was much easier to use one handed and much more comfortable, and you've got millions of apps for it. ya it crashed sometimes but i heard the p990 does too. it hasn't crashed yet on me but i havn't installed anything yet. the new os looks pretty nice, if apple made a mobile os it would look like this, but its too complex and time consuming to get to ur final destination. again not simple like a palm os. sound quality is superb though. reception good, fm radio is real nice too but you gotta hook up the headset to use. so far i would give it a 7 out of 10 stars.
the treo 650 would be a 6/10
the next treo 750 should be a 8/10

i say give me a phone with treo keypad and buttons and SE camera, and new palm os, and +400mhz samsung chip, with gps, in the body of a moto q and you would have a super model worthy of a 10/ 10

this is my mini review.

got mine from mobileplanet.com, direct from uk last week - it was a preorder, so i got the first batch of phones. mobile companies are probably takin' their time reviewing and testing the handset, which is good. i might return mine, if i don't get the mms issues resolved. so, don't get your hopes too high.

kl kl thanks ck and cherry blossom!!

guys please...can somebody give me a release date for the UK i dont want any other phones!!!

Hi, I am considering to buy it. Do u know how much it is in New Zealand now?

look it's going to cost a lot!! Roughly £500-600 work it out (currency) - forget the cost - money can be obtained - when is the UK release date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

uhmm, you might want to reconsider getting the p990, I've had it for over a week now and wow this thing is bugged! it crashes all the time. and there is no reset button! I gotta remove the battery every time, and start the phone up again.
what the hell eh! and already a new firmware update (which is impossible to do, unless your a super freak geek) and people are sayin don't bother it gets worse after the update. and I have no one to complain to. the phone is not supported on the SE website and no official forums? I need some help hear, I feel like I threw away a stack of dough on paper weight!

M1 singapore has taken back the Sony Ericsson P990i phone from the website with in 1 week time from it released.

I assume there is bug in all the phones intially shipped and hoping SE will fix it and release it again..

any comments guys? or updates?

ck, don't panic. all will be fine with a couple more updates. in fact, the p990 has crashed on me just once in the past 3 weeeks. you don't have to remove the batt to restart. the hard restart is done by merely holding down the on/off button for approx 10 seconds. firware update is actually a breeze (i'm not a tech geek). just hook up your sync cradle and run the software update from sony's website. follow the simple instructions during the prep for update, e.g. step 1 remove batt, step 2 remove sim card, step 3 replace batt, etc, etc. the bugs aren't that all bad. well in my case anyway.

UK release date anyone??

Can we Use msn or yahoo messenger in Sony erricson P990 or P910 please let me kno or what about hotmail can we use it too ??

thank you waiting for reply

Hi there,
a colleague has a 990i, and it is syncing absolutely fine, the problem she has is that you cannot add pictures to the contacts, and you can't view the thumbnails as thumbnails, it just shows up as a jpeg - does anyone have any ideas?

Also when you go to view the images on the phone, they periodically dissapear and re-appear again.....

Thanks

Dan

got it 2 days b4....shame on u sony ericsson...music quality below par...even p800 had a better speaker. i hv put in a 2gb sony original mem. stick and p990i is failing to take its load. vijay singh golf game not working..i dunno y SE took a complete year to launch this sh#@. m really disappointed. its not a $800 mobile phone.

Was released in Bangalore yesterday.
Waiting for all the reviews before I go and
buy that phone

I have used many handsets. You'll be damn right if you called me a phone FREK! Love Nokia SE but prefer SE since I got P910i. I have ordered for the P990i. I guess its gonna be one hell of a machine. Cant wait to take delievery

I have used many handsets especially Nokia and SE. I own a P910i presently among others and have ordered P990i. Can't wait to have it. I bet its gonna be one hell of a machine!

I just purchased SE P990, it is a fabulous phone but bit slugish. Software update is available on SE website, which is suppose to make the phone faster. Tried installing the updater software but it says that I need to install "Macromedia" (Adobe)flash, and does not run despite downloading and installing the latest Flash.

SE P990 (box pack) costs Rs.29990/- here in Indore. Its a good phone but its weight (150g) sometime seems little heavy as comparing to other phones. All features are ok. SE needs to decrease its prices.

I have just bought a new P990i billed from Sony directly for Inr33K. I want to sell it as I already have a K750i. Anyone intrested please call me at 9810081266. I can reduce it by another 1K nothing less.
