If Katshing does not have it yet, we probably shouldn't bother looking at the other online retailers, correct? |

I just bought one off an unidentified electronics dealer at Comic Con in San Diego last night. I saw he had some Sony Ericsson press folders in one hand, so I came up and asked him about a release date. Before I know it, he says if I want one to follow him. Guy was very very hush hush, had to drive from the convention, 9 blocks up to his hotel room to buy it. Ran me 900 dollars US. I told him I would need to sit in his suite and test it for about 30 minutes. He said that was fine, and he'd show me just how everything worked.
I whipped out my old P900 and he shut up.
42 minutes later, I walked out with the whole package. Box, desk stand, car charger, manuals, extra stylus, earbuds, flip removal system etc. I was saving all my quid to buy a Superman Returns poster autographed by the entire cast and Bryan Singer. But...I think I made the better choice. Pictures to follow on Sunday. It's not buggy. It just take a realllllly long time to load from the startup animation.

wonder where he got it from, since it's a retail box??
Almost sounds like a drug deal, just imagining a shady character with a briefcase, P990 inside - LOL |

I recon you asked how he got hold of them (how many did he have?), but what was his reply??? Or is that something you don't discuss during drug-de.., I mean phone-deals 
Looking forward to the photos and a short review from one of the first P990-owners of the world!

Will the P990 ever be released? This waiting is too much. Hope to see the phone beginning of AUGUST. |

Johnex, the EXIF of that image says it was made with a k750 with R1J002 prgCXC125952_EU_1_CL 0.0 firmware...?
I think here we have better examples of P990 photos

most importantly the same information states the date being 8/16/05!
either the wrong picture was posted or he's fibbing. I hope the former applies.

I donīt think Johnex made on purpose, but the anonymous he knows that has a P990 didnīt send true P990 material this time
Anyway, hereīs a really good P990 photo
(note: it was shot with full digital zoom)

Hi all,

Here is a pic I took using my Casio digicam, showcasing the screen sizes differences of XDA 2 mini, P990i, P910i and M600i on the same day.

It looks like that the P990i has a screen protector.
Which means you can buy them already? I want one from start. |

check DomL.com or Doml.se
They have the Martin Field Overlays (best screen protectors out there IMHO). Just ordered one, arrived today. I've purchased form them in the past and visited them in person in Singapore, very trustworthy |
