nils7,
I know you didn't spend much time with it, but could you tell about your experience with p990 in terms of ergonomics, etc. compared to p910? Are you going to get p990 when it becomes available, or want to continue using your p910? Please tell something on how you liked it, for peple like me who is needs to decide between buying p910 now and waiting for p990. Thanks!

@Nils7
Hi the video problem does not sound good so near to what was supposed to be a release date originaly!
What is the body made of?
I hope the materials used build quality is better than the P910i mine is less than a year old gets very well looked after but is looking very scrappy silver paint missing from most edges all chrome gone (after 1st week!)
I am a real big fan of  but they have to improve the build & feel of their product to match others flagship products!!!
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot. |

Hey guys... I'm back with some pics again and answering ya questions...
Answers
@ kgtjan
Well according to ergonomics it feels good but after using P-series for more than 3 years now I must admit I have to learn again. First of all they have a new navigation button in it. And they removed the jogdial functionality (5-way)... people who used that a lot in former P-flagships they will know what I mean or will notice it also when they start using both P990i or M600i.
I will not use P910i because it's not mine  .... it's SE's phone but I'm using it for 2 years now already... So when P990i comes I will try to swap it...
@ Nitrofan
Well they have some time for the P990i before it hits the shops but than again it didn't had the latest firmware but what I've heard they didn't fixed it yet... but could be done already I don't know how far they are at the moment... M600i looks quite ready now!
The body is made from plastic . The P990i's paint finish looks different from the P910 but I don't if it looks the same as my P910 after 2 years of usage. Also the P990 feels a little bit like there is some space/air in it... I do not know why... the W900i feels the same like there is air in it (which is true  )
I also do not know If I have a final hardware version... because the CeBIT version all had (where QuickShare is on mine) the typenumber "P990i". The ditched Quickshare so I think they will replace it for P990i.

To compare the screens (look at my lovely FO wallpaper in my
P910 )
Maybe in the shade of the P990i... the M600i
What's wrong here?? (readersquestion )
Look @ the size difference
Much thinner
The accessories
Both are that small that they both could fit in my left hand!

@NILS
Hi! may i please know hows the talk time like, it claimed that its 9Hrs, similar to K750i. As far as ive read in various forums, 3G phones' battery capacity get to drain out pretty fast due to the intensity of running the programs in the phone. |

nils7,
Thanks for the info. Did you feel difference on the LCD brightness and overall quality of display between 910 and 990? Thanks! |

Very nice pictures nils7. I'm actually considering one of these two phones, the P990 and M600. But here's my question:
How does the P990 QWERTY keyboard feel (size of buttons, usablitiy, feel etc)?
How's the M600's keypad? Can each button actually be pushed in 3 different ways? For example the button with the number "1", can that button be pushed left for "E", right for "R" or down for "1"?
I understand that the M600 unconventional keypad needs some time to get used to, but how well would you say the design is, and its usability?
Which of the two qwerty keyboards do you prefer?
Is it frustrating to use the M600's pad?

answers (bare in mind that it might be non-final hard- and software!!!)
@ saab_rider
Size of the buttons is like the same as the P910. But they really stick out and made from hard plastics. And they are lightened .
The M600 buttons are actually the way you tell but if you push on the left or right side you don't really notice the button is flipping to that side but you will entering the correct letter.
I prefer the P990i keypad due to the fact that it has letters on their own button! Although the P990i was pretty slow in texting in FC mode dunno if they fix it (I hope so).
@ PeterKay
Eh yes I played a video which is much better than the P910... more fluent and a higher resolution! More a like Windows mobile device (for the people who have xp with WM and video's know what I mean).
@ tibbsy
Yes it is smaller but after using both during the weekend I didn't notice any bad points about it, same for M600 (which is even smaller).
