Yes, I love that slogan! bad year for Sony (and SE)
Yes, I see that message once in a while not as much as others see it. I tried to play some real media files, the phone was hanging. I couldn't kill the process thru task manager and also, I couldn't open the battery cover to remove the battery. So I left it for sometime.
btw, the browser crashes with KERNEL EXEC error everytime I go to http://mobile.google.com
I think p990i would have been a killer device of 2006 if SE had released it with UIQ 2.0. i have no reason why they had to mess up something that working fine.

@TheGuru
Nice post. I have a few comments regarding it:
-UIQ3 It's matter of personal opinion. In my case I found it surprisingly better than UIQ2. Maybe it's a bit difficult at the beginning for someone who used to UIQ2 but at the end much more professional and better and very simple.
- With latest firmware-no application crashes or once in a blue moon as it was a case with P910 (mum SMS, web etc)
- memory issues - correct, have to use swis manager
- usability and navigation - IMO very nice
- images in the browser - easy to save. Just press the image and hold for a while, choose picture information and arrow above
- video online - very true
- browser's mp4 files, some can be opened and some can't. I too am wondering why
- batery cover case, matter of technique, easy for me
- phone hangs frequently, don't know for that. Use sm and the latest frimware |

@koto,
No phone hang at all??? for sure??? Mine even with full swiss manager pro working i still have that problem! just try vinjaj pro golf and i wanna hear from you.... only if u use it for making calls and nothing more, it won't closing applicaton, crash, or even restart itself... if we use P990 for make calls and sms only, better use old nokia 5510. it also has QWERTY, radio and mp3 player... lol |

It is as I said believe it or not. What I steal get is automatic close of application due to lack of RAM when I doesn't care of memory usage, but usually I do care through sm. Before fw upgrade I had all you are speaking about, but after it and master reset I got one or two kern err and one restart for better performance. That's why I said once in a blue moon. Mine P990 is also unbranded if that means something.
My daily average usage is something like this (golf is uninstaled from the very beginning):
- camera and wifi (very intense), internet, multimedia downloading (not every day but up to 100MB when I us it), music, fm radio (not every day), video, phone (voice dialing), sms, mms, POP3 email with attachments, tasks, calendar, document to go, pdf, rss, alarm, sync, usb memory storage
All of this function without a single bug. In one of my posts I said that right now I am at deep peace with my P990 and I realy ment it..
However I welcome new fw for better multitasking and generaly more stability i.e. less use of sm.
p.s. I am yet to use bluetooth headset so don't know how it works.

I use my phone primarly for work and honestly, using it is not as painful an experience for me than most users here it seems. On top of the voice calls and text messages, I use notes, calander, quickoffice, pdf+, wifi, pop3 with attachments heavily. Music's a daily affair as well and I use a DS970 for that. I use the camera occasionally when I don't feel like typing out something that's already on paper so autofocus+macro rocks. Don't care much for the multimedia functions and radio but I do have a few videos stuffed in my MSDP. I am however, very mindful of what apps are left open and usually close the ones that I don't need immediately. I understand that this may be a hassle for most - especially people very used to multitasking but hey, whatever works right? By the way, I'm on a /2 R3A04. Yes. One FW upgrade behind. |

my experience is similar to koto and discord, everyday i use p990 for calls, sms, gmail (pop3), rss, documents to go, picodrive, video playing, music via bt, radio, web browsing, PIM with outlook sync, agile messenger, etc, i only want more available memory for better multitasking |

looks like the one that having much truble is me... mu phone is singapore ver. i'm trying to upgrade via SEUS 3 times, first it's been upgraded, the nest two said there is no need to upgrade but i just continiued it till finish... fw now for organizer is R2A05 thats the latest fw for singapore ver. ..... i've using SM pro full version.. and set the maximum for all memory reclaim, clean up on idle, even clean up when flip close and still the same thing happen... opening agile messenger and receiving sms would be hard thing to do at the same time... maybe the phone didn't restarted again, just a few times after upgrade the firmware... but still program closed is the major things to happen, beside i neesd to restart the phone myself after used it to open a few applications cause the memory is not enough to open another applications.
starting the phone, i just got 12.6 mb is that the same w/ u guys? after opening agile only 7mb avaiable, make calls, receive sms..... program closed.. i must restart agile again..

I hope that SE people reads this info and does something about in the coming fw versions. I think that we gain of M600 and W950 when they discover flaws in the code. | |
