i just heard that SE has updated the beta firmwar R5A so don't wait for the new firmware.
as people had problems with previous firmware,SE wants us to update our PC SUIT & SEUS and make sure that all people have updated so it might take long time so don't dream about the new release at least this month.

Where are u getting this information from??, and can anybody confirm if it is true or not??, I was of the impression that SEUS and PC SUITE were seperate departments to that of the firmware dev, so technically updating the SEUS and PC SUITE should have no effect on the FW.

If this is true then I whould be very disappointed. I know I know, SE has not deliver any dates. But then again, ones your in the hype of hoping there is no easy way out. Lets just hope that this so called "rumour" is false

al_1982a, that makes no sense...the new SEUS has nothing different besides the look.

Besides, April release was refered to ajack and mik3 from my-symbian, and i also was able to confirm that the new firmware release is being expected from SE people here in Portugal.

What was bogus was the 2nd of April date, that after all refered only to SEUS and Pc Suite update

these news are from ajack hemself from my-symbian this morning please the major problem is that SE updated the beta R5A then look at the updates of SEUS and PC SUIT.
yes there are so related stuff between these updated app and the new firmware as old versions of those may do alot of problems either in downloading the new firmware(SEUS)or restoring backed up data(PC SUIT).

i'll be so glad if any news shows the opposite,but if you analys it carefully unfortunatly you'll see that these are the logical news.
ares do your best to see if there are any good news rising up.

I just think SE is acting dumb again...people will always prefer frequent updates, like in January and February, than this lame delays stuff all over again...they will piss even the users that are liking the phone like me...once again, they are showing lack of costumer relations skill!!

so, your choice is:

a) get frequent but less tested firmware OR
b) get less frequent but better tested firmware

I choose b

the problem with these choices, and where this logic all comes apart when it comes to P990, is that neither scenario seems to give the quality firmware though it has proved true for the m600 in my experience

you donīt get it...my phone is stable right now...i donīt remember the last time i had a self reboot...P990 firmware is right now similar to M600īs

but...in terms of "message" from SE to its costumers, specially P990 ones, after all the trouble on the past, staying, once again, 3 months between firmware updates (if the next one only comes in May) is not acceptable

we had a good example in January-February...January firmware was a huge leap in terms of stability, the February update was a good surprise, brought some more improvements, and showed people the clear commitment of SE in improving the P990

i must also remember you that the first time we heard about R5 organizer was in start of January...i think 4 months should be enough for the testing you mention...

i too would like option "b" as long as we are informed. even a simple "firmware xxxxx will be released on "month" or "april firmware cancelled".

Its safe to say the phone needs improvement. everybody is eagerly anticipating firmwares to see where the phone will end up in stability/feature.
i just want to be informed on how things are goin... not stare into space waiting for something to hit me on the face...
