ok, in no particular order and smoe not the best quality, here are my ilve pics from the smartphone show this morning. I spent nearly an hour looking over the phone, talking to two Sony Ericsson representatives.
The phones are still buggy and I was told the long lead time to availablity is to allow developers to create new software.
I was very impressed by the design, the feel of it in my hand and the UIQ 3 interface made me feel very at home right off from the start. The screen is superb and puttnig the P910 next to the P990 it doesn't feel like there is alot of screen area lost
I did ask quite alot of questions and some things are still secret/not fixed/to be determined etc, and the Opera 8 browser it was running via wifi was not able to show images yet so the browser picture below is a simple one.
There wasn't much else to see at the show that interestde me so a 10 minute walk around the other stands was all that was needed.
anyway, to the pics... or view them in my P990i gallery

I personally think that the p990 is a very beautiful phone. Hell, they should replace the blue lumination for the keyboard to white. Blue doesn't really suit I think,

Never had a P series before, but this looks good and not to big. The WIFI part interests me. |

they were not able to show me any video today
in regards to resolution, although the screen is slightly smaller than that in the P910 the 240x320 resolution of the P990 cmopared with the 208x320 of the P910 certanily works very well. Although the P910 was quoted as supporting 262,000 colours, we all know this was only in full screen picture mode otherwise it was 65,000 colours. I didn't ask the question but I'm fairly sure looking at the clarity of the screen and user interface etc that this may well fully support the 262,000 colours. I could read the screen without my glasses which is unusual in a device of this size. I can only just do it on my k-jam although the jasjar is quite easy to read benig such a large screen

I believe it does have a slightly brighter screen and that was more obvious when using the screen as a vewfinder and when viewing images. if you look at the two pics with 500+ in them, they are the ones showing the screen being used as a viewfinder.
moving the P990 around while in that mode, btw, gave a crystal clear image at all times. I.e. it as very responsive

to be honest, neither of the two guys I spent time with would let the P990 out of their hands, even though they were attached to lanyards around their neck, so I didn't get much of a play myself.
Watching them moving through the menus I got a nice feeling for the easy navigation and saw that there were many options in each application we passed through. In summary, I felt UIQ 3 offered alot of customisation and tweaking of settings and options etc.
btw, I didn't have a P series for quite a while but the guy mention the agenda now has a week view and that is included in my pics (did anyone spot that? )
as far as apps, that was a topic they wouldn't talk about...
no mention of cost either
