SE has not planned to send the P990i to the US. So your info, wherever you got it from is wrong. Neither tmob usa or Cingular will offer the phone and that is already it in nationwide GSM providers.

@Residentevil - I know the situation is perhaps somewhat different in the US (in that handsets are more closely tied to providers and airtime contracts etc.) but surely it doesn't necessarily mean the phone won't be available SIM free and without a contract? |

I maybe about to confirm this in the next 10 minutes i will let you know
But you are wrong about being out in the USA i know for a fact thier is no P990a coming to the states any time soon. Ive heard possably for a X-Mas release.... but that is slim to none.

Sorry i didnt reply thought i did.
but no i did not confirm a date with Sweden today they are still waiting.
I will see in Hong Kong.
How it happens is like this:
A large supplier tells SE we want 500 units to be delivered to our warehouse at release. A line of credit is placed with the creditor and once the items ship the warehouse is notified and the phones usually arrive within 48 hours.
So thier is not much advance notice from the main supplier in Hong KOng or Sweden.
The M600s arrived Saturday i got them monday and they were on ebay on thursday
sorry for the not so good news.... but ill keep everyone posted |

Dagens Industri, a Swedish busniess news paper wrote a few days ago about the P990. SE then said it will be released the second week in July.
Here's the link (it' in swedish)
http://www.di.se/Avdelningar/[....]on=TeknikTrender;TeknikNyheter
It's basically saing that it's been delayed beacuse of prioratizing the m600 and not beacuse of software problems. |

Well a poster at my-symbian (P800WOW) seems to be indicating first availability as tomorrow (last day of Q2!) and Expansys have told another poster that they will stocks around 7th July. So looks like exciting times for tne next few weeks...and then a few months of calm before the W950 is released...

Do you reckon Expansys price is acurate? Seems quite steep. Was hoping it would be more around the £550 mark. |

Not in the slightest. I see no reason why the official price will be any different to the P910i launch price of £499. Play.com for example have always quoted £499.
Expansys always try to get away with obscene pricing on preorders, for the people who must have a device first at any cost, and to be honest I don't blame them - it is what Expansys specialise in and if people are prepared to pay it...
Mind you IMO anyone who'd pay £665 for one would have to be bonkers.

Zulan,
Thank you for the link about the update for the launch date of the P990i.
It is time for Sony Ericsson to launch the P990i now if they have written that the handphone is good to go and stable, why the need for it to be launched in the middle of July ?
I hope that this information from Mr Jan Wareby and Mr Per Alksten is credible.

You never know I might be too - I do have a preorder with them too.
Just hoping the actual price when they get them in is somewhat different. |

| Sony Ericsson's prestigelur delayed - again
2006-06-26: Olof Sandström
Sony Ericsson shoots up säljstarten of värstingmobilen P990 still once. Now, the telephone will come other week in July.
3g-telefonen P990 was shown up the first time in October. Then each offer that the willed turn up in the businesses already during the first quarter this year.

But during the spring did Sony Ericsson” an omprioritering” according to the company's vice CEO Jan Wäreby. Instead for P990 got the customers to be content with the budget mock-up M600.
“we prioritize the since the gives bigger volumes”, sa Jan Wäreby to di.se in April.
The promise that time each that P990 willed exist in the trade before the end of the half-year.
But now cracks also that plan. Sony Ericsson's product market manager per Alksten states to di.se that the shops will begin to sell the telephone during other week in July. Again, the company refers to omprioriteringar.
“we have prioritized that few out M600. We have not can handle both products concurrent and the each important that few out the (M600) fast”, says per Alksten.
The delays have lett to spekulationer about that Sony Ericsson had problems with the software to P990. And per Alksten does not deny that information.
“the exists no problems with the product we skeppar out in the shops, the is a lot of stable. I cannot in other respect comment on special details, but the has taken little longer time than we counted with”, says he.
Värstingluren P990 is an uppföljare to Sony Ericsson's hand computer series and has among other thing mound dissolved camera and pressure sensitive display. Moreover will the go to link up against thread solving networks. And per Alksten counts with success despite the late säljstarten.
“P990 has been taken towards hugely well on the company side, the sells really good. We believe that this will become a bigger success than the we already had”, says he. |

another words to sum up some broke ass english translation:

The phone does NOT have software problems but rather Sony Ericsson cannot handle the release of the M600 and P990 for support reasons
so we should see it soon |
