It looks like not many like the P990.I for once would like a - by now standard speed WIFI (not the castrated 11mbit) and certainly EDGE. Compatibility to the 'old' Pxx software would be nice too.On the other hand I can live with the keyboard.

Wait till the first P990's hit the shelves all the naysayers and disbelievers will be eating their words. Right now the phone is in beta testing, once launched the fw will hopefully be stable.

@brix,

Yeh, because Sony Ericsson always release phones with unbuggy firmware... lol. Let's not lie to ourselves.

I'm sure when the p990 comes out i won't be able to resist and will get one regardless of the bugs still present, but we'll just have to wait and see.

hopefully we'll have more info on the p970 by then...

Good spot, looks like those are based on someone's imagination, with a ltitle info from Eldar...

After those pics, Eldar did say

" visible part of display with flip is shorter...
buttons on external part of flip actually but joystic placed inside"

So, looks like we'll have a P900 type flip, with button on the outside, blank on the inside, And on the actual Casing underneath the flip we'll have a navi-joystick...

He also mentions a 5-way jog-dial - Which would be amazing!

But there is a possibility of it not being touchscreen - That would be RUBBISH!

No touch screen ? ? ? Actually it won't be that bad as long as it has S60 as a operating system.At least nobody can complain about the software.

Looks odd with the P910 flip keypad. This phone will be best enjoyed with the flip off.

I like my flip. I like to have the P990 with flip and the one without the qwerty with flip too. Otherwise one handed operation is difficult.

Indications are that there definitely will be a model that will slot in lower than the P990, perhaps sans 3G but with EDGE retaining all the functionality of it's big brother excluding the keyboard which IMO is totally useless.
