It's called marketing. If your models were correct there would be no Ferrari or Porsche. All would be the same. If you want more features, you pay for them. Everyone should know this as well.

well, my take on the whole matter is that if the top phone of the sony ericsson is the P990i then if I buy it I expect it to have all the features of the lesser value sony ericsson phones or at least I can add it to my phone because I paid top dollar for it. |

@ jerrymaguire - are you waiting in for an SE engineer to come around and fit your P990i with 4GB of flash memory as well?
Perhaps he'll shave a few mm off the height, width and depth too? Surely SE's top phone should be the smallest and lightest?
The fact is the P990, W950 and M600 are all aimed at slightly different niches. None of them are "the best" for everyone - even with the Walkman player, your P990 is still bigger and heavier than a W950 and there are plenty that would choose the latter because of that. Likewise, there are some that don't like the P990's bulk but would still choose a keyboard over a Walkman player, so they'd go for the M600. It's horses for courses.
Some might say the P990 already suffers slightly from attempting to be a "jack of all trades" - I don't see why it should be retrospectively kitted out with the advantages of every other phone in the range.

anyway, its a matter of time, untill someone manages to extract it from a w950 and make it available to other uiq 3 devices
that won´t mean we will get the same sound quality on a p990 than on a w950, i don´t believe the difference is only software based

hmm well u can buy a 4gb card and bigger when they start making them and as for the music player im sure some thirdparty company might just make a fancier one than the one in the w950 !

i know... its such a shame not having the cool visualization in p990's player. so no way of porting the music app of w950 to p990?

I guess if we had all that kind of visualization on the P990, the battery would only last for 1 song... or 5 minutes at max.
Find it soooo strange tha SE included such a baby battery in the "big buy" - and even stranger to see that they also removed the BST-34 from the accessory list. Seems like they stopped the production... |

You can "want" all you want, but it ain't ever going to happen. If SE was smart, they would have it locked down. You can always buy a third party .mp3 player. The w950, M600i, and P990 are three phones designed for different markets and market segments. This is quite obvious don't you think?

If you are willing to buy something, why not start with a third party application .mp3 player and be done with it. SE probably has the .mp3 player locked down tight as they should. Going on and on will not make it happen for you. If you want the player then buy the w950 and then be set.

No, but the P990 is a power hungry machine, and - why put in a battery with even less capasity than the P900 & P910 ? Doesn't make sense to me. Perhaps it has something to do with the battery recalls and explosions we hear about 
The 990 should be a top-of-the-line phone, with power enough to outrun all the other SE phones, being able to run all software from the others, or even emulate whatever SE phone you want

Agree - however - the P990 is still not yet good enough for the Pro marked it's targeting. I use it myself, but hoped to put away the Ipaq - something I still cannot do. The P990 have many fw/memory problems that makes it unreliable. Can't even trust it to connect to IMAP servers for getting mails. Crashes, stops, hangs... no - too much sillyness still to be called a PRO phone.
Therefore - with more battery capasity - at least we could play with it a bit more
