Yeah, I also thought I remembered reading that it did have an FM recorder long ago. |

I guess we can only go by what the one month old white paper says...
perhaps its just disabled and someone will figure how to re-enable it

maybe really pple instead of talking about the long delayed p990 we might really make some progress if we started looking for alternatives because at present as late as it is in the year this phone is still full of bugs according internet sources making it almost unusable |

I've used one of the alternatives, the HTC Universal, and its now collecting dust. Having used the M600 I believe UIQ3 + Symbian 9.1 have great potential. For sure the P990 will not be 100% fault free, but its a great advance. Remember its your money so buy what you like! |

Another date to hit and see whether this intel is true or just another SNAFU.

| A concrete date at last, Katshing.se (and they should know, being in the same country as Sony Ericsson) have the P990i down for being in stock on July 18th. Still early days for firmware though, judging from the bug reports about the M600i from around the world. |

Actually, the card scanner software works, and works very well too. I was at CommunicAsia 2006 playing with the P990i for a couple of hours. The card scanner software took a mere 10 sec to process the name card and convert it into the contact database. Real fast and COOL. |

Jah,
Do you work in SE or something? You hate the Universal just so much, I'm using it and loving it !
Yours could be faulty. I don't use my laptop at home anymore, the Univeral does it for me. |

No my friend I dont work for SE. There are lots of people who were disappointed with the Uiversal: poor battery, poor strengthBT, very expensive, memory management problems when you use Power Save etc. Even MS employees have apologised about the slowness of the device. I perfer my small Sony TX1 with a 3G data card.

Hi Nitro Fan, it's held from 20 June 06 till yesterday. I was there on the very first day. I had done a preview and wrote my tests at my-symbian.
http://my-symbian.com/forum/v[....]days=0&postorder=asc&start=600
Hi slimfady, there are no smart phones that supports faster than 12Mbps. All are USB 2.0 only. If my memory serves me right, there are 3 types of USB:
USB 1.0/1.1 (don't even need to mention the speed)
USB 2.0 (12 Mbps)
High Speed USB 2.0 (480 Mbps)
The same can somewhat be applied to WiFi. A few newer smart phones are supporting the g (54Mbps) standards today, but NON can even reach the full speed of b standards, i.e., 11Mbps. Of course, with g standards is always better for compatibility sake.
Due to the processor speeds, Flash RAM speed in terms of read/write, and most importantly, battery life, today's smart phones can not reach the "expected" performance levels as compared to PC/Laptops. Let's hope fuel cells can sort out battery life issues and I am sure manufacturers will start pumping out high speed connectivity on smart phones by then. |
