All we need now are dedicated MENU buttons for EACH AND EVERY menu within the Phone.




Now there's an idea! ;P

Sony ericsson are getting off the track of making nice phones
since the K600.
K750 was nice, i like all the phones with squishy buttons like P800 and phones with clear buttons like K750 K700 and P910, btu now this one is not good in looks and unfortunatly the screen buttons should slide down.
Now where is the good in that?
Dont deny it, most agree, unless your just happy they got off their bums and actually made something for like 3 months!

mmm i like this Motorola!!!
They are better than SE, arent you a good moto, arent you moto, yes you are, yes you are good, good moto!!

K750 has no clear buttons and the Moto, I first thought it was a soap (are you sure it is a phone ??).

Motorola have always made nice phones (although the prepay ones always look too cheap) but once you begin to use it...

are the screen really that small????
Actually the screen are located more top than P910i which "looks" like P990i have a smaller screen !!!
(P910i have a cm's distance while P990i have less distance between the screen and the top right????)



That it is true. A lot of people are balling here and complaining that the P990 has a small screen compare to P910 and I am so sick of it.
I made a picture showing the opposite so these people can shut up.
Here you go
http://www.myphone.gr/gallery[....]/12265/size/big/sort/1/cat/500
As you can see the screen of the P990 starts way higher and is just a little shorter than the P910, but on the other hand is wider too.
I hope this clears it for good, and I don't want any more people to come here and start wipping again.

Thank you for that comparison... from that, the P990 screen is a solid 10% shorter... and not just 1mm shorter as most people think. And only 4% wider.

judge, thanks... it's true. Since Sony got into the picture, the phones have looked more robotic with each generation. No thought has been given to refining the menu... still no fax... still no calculator with the flip closed..which is odd since it's easier to input numbers using a numeric keypad... and still the useless internet button. Not to mention all the tacky logos printed all over the phone... Quickshare... Memeorystick Duo w/ logo.. VGA:43mm1:2,8 (is that REALLY necessary?!?!?! You can keep it on the manual can't you?!?) ... Jogdial arrows... uhmm you gotta be pretty stupid to not know how to rotate a jogdial... and if you are that stupid, I highly doubt the cryptic looking arrows at the back are of any help. I'm surprised they didn't label the stylus slot, and the speaker (complete with ohms and wattage)... or place a label on the mirror.

antman... maybe in the next P-series. Every function, command and menu will have dedicated SQUARE, plasticy, buttons.

of course the P990 is going to have the same bluetooth if not BETTER as the K750i!!

why is everyone here being so stupid!

people make mistakes, maybe they typed in the wrong info, people arent perfect and neither are computers. why are you guys picking up on every little stupid detail and then getting it all wrong?

im sorry to sound frustrated but honestly, reading through this topic, i nearly spat my coke everywhere, youre debating about things that arent even worth debating about. please!! [addsig]

It's like a merry-go-round here, always coming back to the same arguments...

At least let's build on our opinions and what we know.


What I would like to see is a 910/990 screen comparison of the screens in a landscape position, all we have seen so far is only portrait comparisons.

i really can't get over the "back" button. in another thread somebody specified that it has been introduced due to consumer demand...

Now I ask you - which way is simpler? Keeping your hand permanenetly on the 5-way jog dial (which also incorporated the back function)

or

using the 3-way jog dial, then moving your hand to the back button?!

3 way jog dial and back button are pure crap if you ask me. Instead of one button (the 5-way jog dial) they have made it into two buttons, let alone that one function missing (I refer to the jog dial inwards, which is curentyl not mapped).

bigger screen ... hm ... anyone ever thought about such screen wasn't avaliable in the configuration se wanted it ? or maybe it was avaliable but it would take too much batterie ? they also could have taken the old screen and in the end everyone would have complained about its resolution
i like the phone its the first larger step(in the history of the p series) since the p800, and its a good step! it contains every good aspect of the last generation, they made it better thru going with the competion and put the keyboard under the screen and the new UIQ is just the strawberry on top of a delicous cake(hmmmm....cake)

Hmm didnt i miss alot while i was away....I am still undecided on this phone i love the back of the phone and the top design wise and the front keypad has grown on me but i am not sure about the built in keypad inside or the light colour.

I know that sounds really fussy but hey thats me, hopefully it will grow on me, better get saving. The features are great though 2mp camera is more than enough and wi fi is a big plus point.

When I hold the P990 I don't feel the screen to be smaller.

I can only see how shorter it is when I place it side by side with a P910.

When you have the opportunity to hold a P990 for a while you'll see that you will like a lot the new screen. And it will not feel small!

It is an ok based phone but they have obviously ripped off N70...
LOOK!!!

and look at this

Quite similar
I think its a rip off
and as i said in my prevoius post, it takes up to much space on front, which made it a brick.
Weighs heaps aswell,
come on SE.
do better
