just got my phone back from Axiom, they gave me a new phone, however they didn't supply it with the box. The reps told me to keep the old box inspite of the phone change. i had asked them regarding the different imei's of the box and phone but they insisted that it has been saved at their data base regarding the swap or repacement unit i got. They just signed my warranty card and wrote something about the swap.
Anyways, i spoke to another rep who knows a little bit more about the P990, he even told me that a guy in their office has a proto unit for a week and it is amazing. He told me that it would be released soon here, i kept asking him about the exact date but he always answerd before july ends.
I also happen to have a friend at an advertising company which advertised  that also said the P990 would soon be released. He said that since the M600i was released they needed a little time to let the sales of the M600 to go on, later releasing a non-smartphone unit i.e. k610i and k800i in which they would massively advertise the cybershot series. After that, the P990 would be released for another smartphone advertisement. As of the moment continous ads of the m600 and k800 is going on. Asking him regarding the exact date, he also answered before july ends.

update: nokia n93 available at axiom for 3200aed...huge phone tsktsk larger than the n90 and n73 available for 2299aed. There is an ongoing reservation for the P990 where you have to pay 500aed for a reservation fee and as soon as the fone is available you'll surely get one since you have reserved(500aed would be deducted from the fones cost price). Many has pointed that there will only be a limited number of stocks for the P990 thus the reservation. Anyways, Axiom and Cellucom have said that the P990 would cost 2795aed to 3099aed, no specific price as of yet.

I still don't see why the whole 'limited stock' thing,
if this is a marketing gimmick sony ericsson is screwing their customers by getting first batch to pay a lot more than upcoming batches as other online retailers...etc can easily exploit this to their advantage.

I'm assuming they aren't doing this on purpose, the phone is just in high demand in the Middle East and they're letting people know they can't handle demand

My sister wants to buy an SE and she wants something cheap. She basically wants a phone capable of being a MP3 player. So W550 or anything with a memory slot is what she wants. I'd just ask about the Z530 and W300 but she doesn't really like the design, and anything a little more expensive but in her range is better.
So basically would it be too much to ask if someone could tell me the prices of, Z530, W300, Z550, W550 and K750 in Dubai? I'm figuring these are the cheapest SE phones with her criteria. Thanks and salams.

bro, this is what i know. z530 = 595aed, w300 = 875aed, z550 = ??(is there a z550 out), w550 = ??(don't know the price) and k750 = 845aed. These are warrantied phones prices either from jumbo or axiom. i suggest the k750 even though its old, but its features are better than the others(2mp autofocus); plus its really chep now and msdp are cheaper than the M2. that's just my opinion though. hope this helps

Thanks, but I still think the W550 and Z550 are important. K750 is a long shot.
GSMarena says the Z550 is available. They could be wrong.

K750 cheaper than W550, weird.
Anyways thanks guys.
And another question, how quick do sony products come to the Gulf?
I'm looking forward to the Sony E-ink book reader, which I've read is supposed to be launched in September, and I'm assuming that's for the US.

they're usually the first when it comes mobile technology.
The w550 is cheaper because the 750 was supersceded by the W800

Hi everyone. am new here and im so keen to know release date of SE P990i. I am based in Eastern Prov. Saudi arabia. Been waiting for this device and been surfing a lot. i also considered getting one from UAE but i thought waiting for another week in saudi will not hurt. Any news when this highly anticipated SE P990i will be made available. Yeah they've just recently releas 2models of K series and M600i is also avaialle. Now this makes me think that P990i might get delayed - marketing scheme of avoiding crowding the market with too many brand launches. What do you think guys? Will i wait or get a unit in Dubai? |

I say wait. you'll waste more money traveling to the Emirates just to get a few riyals discount.
@Skrue, that's awesome. I want to ask, is the flip spingy? Like the P900? or is it stiff like the P910?
