@tranced - Are you acquiring either ONE of THESE  Since you are a camera-guy (taking good pics) . . . I guess you will GO for the K810i. But I am quite contented with how the P990i captures decent-shots .. . I am mastering FIRST the indoor-shots, as we all know that taking pics OUTDOORS is far much easier . . .
Good Luck ! Either of the TWO will DO !

. . if this TRANSLATES to: keypads . . . then I can say that the P990i has a GOOD one, trans ! Just like with that of the P900 . . very easy to COMPOSE sms/mms when the FLIP is closed . . .

im willing to get either one of them. i was so decided to get the k810 at the beginning, but somehow the p990 came to my mind. i've seen that the p990 is being sold cheaper than the k. i've offered RD$8000.00(us$243.00) for the k810, but ppl are selling them from +RD$8500(i can afford that, but i will be without money) then the p990 is being sold -RD$8500(saw an offer in RD$7500.00 and RD$8000.00). right now i've got the RD$8000.00 with me, in my wallet.
what should i do?

The P990 has an open platform therefore meaning it can and has the potential to do every imaginable task under the sun, so be rest assured you'll be pretty busy with your gadget for quite a long time as compared to getting the K810 which you'll be getting pretty much what you see. Your life will revolve around it for a while because the UIQ3 is very different from SE's Java-based phones and you'll have to know how to maintain one for optimal use (make sure you get one with the final firmware R6E28 and make sure you restart your phone everyday/once in 2 days if you want top notch multitasking performance no thanks to the memory leaks and relatively insufficient RAM for such a powerful phone. Do this and it'll serve you reliably & dedicatedly). If you get a 'bad' P990, exchange it for a new one because it shouldn't give you any headache as some has reported, so make sure it comes with a warranty. I on the other hand love the design of the K810, but I can't go back to a non-smartphone because I'll just be plain bored.

@mode: you are almost convincing me. there's one prob with the warranty. if i buy the p990 it wont be new, probably i get the box(though if it was bought in orange, means that i have warranty for a year). i cant afford to buy a new one but a second-hand one. the wifi is a reason why i wanna buy the p990.

Go for a new K810... It has better camera, it's smaller, simplier and more stable in my opinion... And the most important - it can be modded

Yes, the wifi is pure pleasure to use with the tc. I quite agree with strizlow800 too though, at the end of the day it depends on what you actually need/want. If you're still not sure then yes, a coin toss would be one way to go about with your predicament

@tranced - Back then . . . I was always been opting in gettin' me 's K-series fone-models: K700/K750/K800 . . . an never it had entered my MIND to acquire the P-series as it's almost TWICE of the price of the K-series  :cryl . . . but .. . little-by-little and piece-by-piece I manage to save some $$$ to get me the P-series models (P800/P900/P910i) . . . and yes, now the P990i (so cheap to acquire also, considering it's features).
What I mean here is . . . at times, we should ALSO try gettin' other fone models and BRANDS too . . . not just to be stucked with one model-series . . .
Just weigh your options prudently . . . as you have said that the P990i will not be covered by warranty (2nd hand)
With your kodak-talent in taking pics from your camfones . . . I am very certain that you can ALSO make wonders OUT of the P990i's - 2 MP cam-specs . . . much better than what : plankgatan can DO with his K850i  !
Good Luck !

Since you're used to K-series before now try something new i mean the P990! spec by spec P990 excels alot compared to K810 - yeah K810 could be more stable with it's JP-7 but considering the possibilities of native 3rd party apps alongside with the promise to utilize all Palm apps to UIQ via styleTap and the introduction of NSbasic for UIQ which helps alot programmers to design UIQ apps easier than ever.Your P990 will shine alot if you go for that  and P990 atm is much more mature and stable that it was used to before
Plangkatan was really a talented photographer, although he was always the main person to be thrown of such issues regarding his constant defensiveness about the SE camfone quality

I have both the p990i and the k800i. I realized after I bought the p990i that I have no need for almost all of the apps. Now I use the k800i exclusively because it is at least 50 times nicer looking than the p990i. | |
