Does anyone know which is the best way to Kill a P990i, yes im starting to dislike the lump of lard.....
the one thing that ticked me off was when the phone restarted whilst i was receiving a very bloody important phone call!
SE have tw#ts'working for 'em. It's a disgrace to release something like that lump of shait on the market... i think it's an insult to all the phone makers around the world.
thinking about throwing the lump of lard of the tallest building... does anyone have any other suggestions?

Smash of the wall! But put a videocamera to make a short movie, then put the movie on YouTube! Success guaranteed!

How about lighter fuel and a good soundtrack even better for YouTube, mind you could always just sell it.

Give it to me ill get rid of it the turkish way. Ill pay you for it thats the best way to iradicate it from your life pm if your serious about my offer.
Posted by menace1234
I have pent up aggression... I can sell it.. i could get a nice profit for it but where's the fun in that?
I want to smash it.. and i WANT TO SMASH IT GOOD, perhaps make a video of it and publish it on youTube, but before i do that i would send a dozen clips to sonyericsson.. to make just a statement!
Does any other phone crash when you're taking a phone call, no! Stupid SE engineers. I could have designed a better phone; with the help from my granny.

whats up with the smashing ?
will be laughing their socks off when they see a video like yours ,
a simple fact as they already sold it perhaps made a profit , they dont care what you do with it , you are better off selling it to someone who still wants a p990 , like me
just my thoughts
Posted by *Jojo*
@menace - Might as well just SELL it mate . . . don't let your ANGST go over by killing your phone, that has still some importnaceto some peeps mate . . . better MAIL
and let all your grievances about your P990 go over with your looooooong letter, for that, your concern has been heard Think about it pal !

@menace1234:
Video yourself driving over it. I've always wanted to know if it would survive after watching that video of the Hummer being driven over a Nokia N76.

you could do it like in the Tom & Jerry cartoons: make a ridiculously weird contraption that linked with lots of household items and drops a ten ton safe on you poor unsuspecting mobile....

try playing with a VERY powerfull magnet arround it while it's on
always wanted to see what happens
Posted by menace1234
probably just corrupt the memory card and just mess up the screen. SO far i like burning it with light fluid and tom&jerry style..
I might light it on fire, sling it across a field and then run my car over it..!
keep 'em coming, i'll probably do this by the end of April...!

I'm going to send a link of this thread to SE customer support - it sums up perfectly the feeling of some users having encountered probably one of the worst attempts at a prototype ever made.
Of course it will be met with the usual "update your firmware" reply.
SE are f**kin' useless. Someone needs to put their top dogs on a customer awareness course. Shocking ....

i've been a user of p series since p800 and i admit i just upgraded to p990i because it's my trend. to upgrade to the latest p-series everytime there's one available.
it's a shame that p800 starts at 42% of 16MB of RAM at start up while p990i only starts at 25% of 64MB(R9EC001), with all those animations and all. by the end of the day p800 still has 42% without apps running while p990i only has 12% left due to memory leaks.. i wonder where did the brains of SE's engineers go. they packed it with features that the hardware cant support just to rake in money waving it in the whole wide world that this phone has business card scanner with ocr support, this and that and all... what a humour. i aint regretting with the phone that i have now, why? because i have no other choice. that's it. so i cant blame these guys who wants to run over their p990i's like sanababitches because they are expecting to upgrade to a better phone with that worth and not to downgrade..and that's what i feel right now as well. i tried having my phone restarted while in the middle of an international long distance call closing a Php6.2M deal with this rich old fart. and told me it decided to take a break to its own accord to optimize its performance..for the next 3hours. i have this mindset that SE is better than Nokia before but now, SE is getting the smaller slice of the cake. about the new firmware for free update? i doubt it.
now, am i correct or am i correct?
Posted by kradcliffe
You are entirely correct. A higher spec phone with significantly less operating RAM is just plain dumb.

exactly..and what the fu*k will i do with business card scanner and animations? do you always scan business cards everyday? the removal of the 5-dimensional jog dial and app picker made a lot of difference. it made it harder to navigate. and it just made the phone look like the old nokia 6600 a friend used to have because of the absence of app picker. and duh?! slide lock? wtf?!?! buttons are scattered all around the phone you might risk dropping the phone on one hand operation..
SE should have known this issue before releasing it. of course, what is beta test for? so they did it with intentions. just a forecast, SE might just created a profit pool out of us guys who bought this phone. how? perhaps future firmwares wont be for free anymore, why the f*ck will somebody bother to waste thousands of man-hours to develop a firmware and give it away to everybody whom he already earned from for free? also, bigger RAM chips anyone? hehehehe
and the rumour that SE discontinued P990i in their product line, of course they should, because they know who will buy the next buncha units anyway? hahahaha.. and oh, they discontinued it, are we still going to expect for support such as free firmwares?
owning the smartphone p990i is just a status symbol for me. because buying a smartphone not as smart as it should is not a smart decision at all. and people will think that you should have a whole buncha moolah, fat wallets and juicy bank accounts for you to have money to waste for this..

Why destroy it? Even if you're mad at it it'd be a real waste of a phone!
Try updating the firmware and see if that makes any difference to it's reliability
If not flog it on these boards!
Posted by Marly
Sammy's right, give the phone to someone who'd like to have it, even though it has its shortcomings. Destroying it is immature imo.
Posted by noblewolf
yeah updating the phone will help but just a little. there is still a memory leak and you really need to restart the phone every now and then. worse, phone will restart in the middle of a call. and give a client an impression that u hung up on his offer. and u cant call back because no number used to show for an international long distance call. and lose your commission.. now how does that feels like?
can someone create a program that lets you define a time to restart a phone while you sleep? it will sure be a best seller! hahahaha

If once in a week is every now and then than I agree with the above statement.
Regarding restarts in the middle of a call that never happened to me. So experiences are different.
It would be nice that you give your P990 to somebody who will be happy to have it. But for your own joy I suggest a big hammer (twice bigger than the phone) and a nice 180 degree move where P990 is the ending point.
Posted by yungfu
Id say take it apart and take pix so at least you can post a dissasembly guide. when youre done, its up to your imagination what you want to do with all those pieces.
lcd = utility knife
keyboard = lighter
camera = hammer
.....why end it in one blow i say.... hehehe

No need to kill it. Its already been discontinued.
Posted by antichrist
if you really want to kill a uiq 3,0 phone, send your p990 to me and i will destroy my m600. of course i will give it a week and if p990 is worse than m600, i will kill the p990 with a magnet, a hammer, boiled water, cigarettes, car fuel and with an compressed air gun.
so, what do you think?
Posted by menace1234
oh great... i've gone in next door to Carphone warehouse and i happen to know a few sharks in there. Had a look at the N95 and to my amazment it had impressed me. Shame it's not a touch screen, but i guess i can just about live with that. But all round 9/10 rating so far.... so this means i've already found a replacement for the poo990i
As for initial cost of the damn thing, well lets say it this way "f##k you Se, you didnt get my doe" .. f'##ing idiots think they can con me. And those who are after one... believe me, you're better off without it, stick to what ever u have, the p990i will be forgetten with the ages of time.
I had a thought, i want a method that would leave no traces of the damn thing.. i could bury it concrete... hmmm alive..
or something alike!

Is it insured? smash the screen and then claim it on your insurance. Say you banged in to a table corner and it smashed! get a brand spanking new sealed one and sell it on ebay! You get the satisfaction of smashing the screen and you make money off it too!

@Adz21
one could consider that as fraud.

I think it's lame you want to destroy it but it's upto you

ill put the stupid p990 in a box and put the box in another box and i will mail the box to myself, once it arrives, ill smash it with a hammer. OR, to save on postage, i will just have to toss it into a volcano, may it burn in hell!

All those who are fed up with the phone shold mail them back to SE an insist that SE employees use only P990i. I believe that SE does not even know that this phone is as troublesome as it really is.

LOL!
I love that series.
Anyway, just sell the unit to somebody else.
If you really want to break the phone, then start up the golf game or tetris game and toss the phone in a playground filled with 5-7 year old kids!
The kids will fight over the phone. In the first 5 seconds, you'll prolly see the flip cover get ripped off. The stylus will get bent and the touch panel gouged.

How about throwing it on the barbeque. Flame grilled P990. Or maybe a bit of tennis, using the phone as a ball.
Posted by keight00i
do either one of these:
1) circular saw... cut it in half then look at its insides...
2) grinder / sander... turn your p990 into dust then throw the dust in the sea just like a dead cremated person
3) a power drill or power screwdriver... drill many holes of different size, paint it yellow, glue some big eyes up front, then dress it with pants, next thing you know you have Spongebob P9pants! then feed it to the dogs!
why are you so mad at your phone anyway?
oooh oooh! a P.S...
4) hook your p990 to a bomb circuit, send it to SE sweden if you hate them so much... or send it to nokia finland if you want SE to proliferate even more... either way your phone gets so mangled beyond recognition! BOOM!!!

The best thing to do> while taking a video, drive at around 50 mph (be careful), then open your door, and hold the fone close to the road with a tight grip, and let it grate on the road for around 200m, then feed it to a cow while its still on, and ring urself and listen to the moo-nophonic cow, and then take the P990 with the cow shit (when its taken a dump), and send it straight to SE, and tell them you dont know which one was th P990, so you send the whole lot, and then send me the video so i can upload it to my P990 and watch it every nite so i can remind myself that I wasted a lot of hard earned money on the most useless peice of shit ever created by makind.
Posted by lastikcizme
LOL at "Spongebob P9pants" and "Moo-nophonic"!!
Connect it to a charger and put it on a box, then fill the small box with cement and make a small concrete block! You'll have a concrete block that rings whenever you dial the number, and you can charge it if you wish!!
You can even draw a picture over the block, showing your depiction of what an ideal P9 series should look like!
