excellent phone let down heavily by the bugs. not a day has gone by when i havent seen an error message at least a dozen times.
for me,its usually in the messaging app. really annoying.
but on the positive side, the cam qaulity is good, the business card scanner is amazing, music player gives good sound. i love the QWERTY. and web browser gives me no problems

This is a nice phone with great connectivity features. It did hang once, but that's a minor issue. The battery performance is just lousy. Standby is only ~ 50 hours. The release stated around 400. Hopefully, as some of my colleagues suggested, the battery will improve over time, as their P910:s did. The software is slightly sluggish, but SE promised to cure that with a software update.

I think it is a great phone so far with even more potential. Mine has been pretty stable from the beginning. There are bugs, but I believe SE will iron them out with future updates. It also cost me more money than I would like to pay for a phone, but it was well worth it. As more third-party applications become available, it should be amazing. UIQ3 is very nice. Hope this helps, and good luck with your decision!

1. Average

2. Excellent

3. Excellent

4.Connectivity = Excellent
Software = Average


Subjective Question

1. 8.75

2. As a p-series user starting from the p800, i am pretty satisfied with the p990 although SE has lots of fine tuning to do thru firmware upgrades.
Feature wise.......i just love the a2dp implementation aside from the other features inherent on uiq phones.

8

2. Please Give Your Opinion About This Phone..

Overall very happy. Love the form factor and build quality (it is an expensive device, but it *feels* expensive too). Firmware still needs some work, but this will no doubt be resolved over the coming months. Sounds quality from built in music player with my SE HBH-DS970 is fantasic - really good quality. Wlan works brilliantly.
Battery performance is OK at the moment, although I will be investing in a BST-34 when they are available.

2. Please Give Your Opinion About This Phone..

After having this phone for the past 2 weeks or so i have to admit i quite like it. Has really grown on me since ive had it, brilliant form factor i think and really is a phone/pda device. Although it has a few bugs, which can be annoying the fact of the matter is that there are workarounds them.
Pretty confident that SE will continue to tweak this phone in the future but at the moment im loving this phone, just like the previous p-series.
