(3) Battery life, another issue I am not satisfied with, the battery life drains alot faster than my P910i, I would say under normal usage, I'd have to charge the phone every night, I thought SE is the king of power efficiency, what happened here?

This is a very hasty thing to say, battery life is very often terrible untill after a few charge cycles. you have only had th phone a few days. |

Thanks for your comments, I am glad you didn't put it in the monster P990!  Have any of your observations changed or been reinforced since you first posted? I will be one going for a TyTN as it's the best device for my needs.

I went to the store yesterday, played around with TyTN. I must say, the QWERTY keys are a lot easier to type with than the ones on P990i. With P990i, I would have to use the stylus to press the QWERTY keys, which I don't mind that much but it's just not as user friendly. With TyTN I could actually hold the device horizontally, and type with both of my thumbs. I might be getting a TyTN, I'm still considering, but the chance is high.

I think your supposed to use your thumbs on the p990-qwerty as well. I've heard it works quite well. |

I agree with this post
Although I bought my p990i in late 2007, nearly one and a half years after its release, however, I am quite disappointed with its core functionality.
1. Multitasking is not good at all because of very limited memory on the base unit. When I am browsing in Opera and receive a call or view an SMS then most likely Opera will have been killed by the time I return to it
2. Battery life is very average. One day may be at the max with average multimedia and internet usage
3. On screen key board can take upto 1-1.5 seconds to display. Annoying considering the number of times you need it.
4. You can't fully operate the p990i using its QWERTY keyboard only (that's if you decide to remove the flip keypad)

What firmware are you using?
I can multitask with mine ok. ok, I have to close most appsto run tomtom but it is quite memory intensive. My bettery lasts at least 2.5 days with about 2 hours of web browsing, 20 mns calls, playing games etc in that time.
I have only split second delay with the keyboard.
Cant comment on 4 as I have always used it with the keypad attatched.

Even big-thumbed people can type on a P990 qwerty board, you just gotta know how, use your thumb vertically rather than horizontally (following the keys' orientation), then you'll be typing a lot faster and with ease. What is your firmware version anyway, there's one helluva difference in performance between R5A17 and R6D23 which are just a firmware apart. I will give my 2 cents once you enlighten us with your fw version

Well...I am using it with flip off for the last 8 months. It was kind of akward at the begining, but you after GDesk, it's smooth sailing .... |

this is a good phone, i learn this phone had a good performers if they left it standard, i format internal memory so it cleans all sofware and data, at boot get 17mb of ramm free that enaough for running opera with sms or phone book, if you install a software like x-plore it take almost 1mb, i thing do not install more than 3software, to get the most free ram at begining. still use this phone until now, stil wait p5i hohoho
