Does anybody find that the phone is more unstable in FO mode, or is it just me? |

Hm, I think I will never understand the people that use a FLIP Pxxx phone without the flip.
I tried this when I first got my p800 long time ago... (perhaps for some the P990 is their first phone 
but I found this phone has a flip (no matter if it looks bulky or whatever, the flip has real functions and is not just fashion statement!) and so I use that.
Nowadays we have many, many phones that come without a flip (so the flip would have NO functions and all works) the walkman series, the M and now P1 series.
If I would want a phone (candybar) without a flip, I would just get one that comes without a flip.
Its like buying a Sportscar with Spoilers (that are not fashion but needed at certain speeds!!!) and taking them off.
Anyways, for now I am hoping that SE will indeed come up with a true Pxxx with a flip ... successor, like a P999 or P1000

Having started with flip on for a long time I have now settled with flip off. The phone is a lot slimmer and lighter without it and performs well i.e no more open flip for mms and internet etc.
Also the comparison with the p800 flip off is unfair as the p800/900/910 did not have a querty pad or any other way of using the phone other than touch screen when flip was off.
I find the p990 unbeatable form wise flip off, as there are no real competitors size wise etc. other than the p1 which is not that much slimmer than p990 flip off. |

Well im stuck, i have just come from a M600 so am used to not having a flip.
But i think it looks nice with the flip on , and without it you miss some valuable functions.
I mean why can they not put a call button on the screen like on the M600, and why no sms pop up notification.
Gonna try with it off see how it goes.

Yeah, me too.......
And dizzle, it was not compared to anything, it was stated since that was the FIRST Symbian phone that had such a BIG SCREEN and gave the alternative to have nothing but the screen in front of you. Looked great... but again,
....love the flip......

Looks like a PDA with the flip removed......
But of course, P-series has always been Phone-PDA...... 
And it looks AND works like a phone with the flip on! So mine stays, always......

I have to say gdesk and longs cuts made use the P990 without flip much more than before...now i love it, although having the flip makes it much more versatile

Well, after reading this post and using my old P800 in FO for 4 years, I think I'll try the same for my P990 i and see how it goes........
Gdesk is not bad, but I miss the Tracker app. which I had on theP800....It was easier to use than the Gdesk and I think had more options in FO...
I hope someone comes up with a UQI3 Tracker...There are still quite a lot of P990i users out there who would appreciate it.........

I have to admit that after more than two weeks of using the P990 in FO and with the new updated gdesk v0.14d, using the phone now is a joy........FO rules.....

Just dropped my phone from a good height while running for the bus, so I'm afraid it's FO for me all the time unless I can find a replacement flip  Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I'm gonna miss my flip  |
