I had the same version but dated 05/30/06.
This is a worldwide english version and it took some crap off my phone..
By the way, thanks for the tip on fit4cat tweaker. I have already downloaded the cab file. The programme is free but needs registration on the German site..
Have appliedsome tweals already. Very interesting..
I also use pocket Tips and Tricks for some more Tweaks..I am sure oyu will know the programme..

The battery shipped with P990 is BST-33 while there is a BST-34 (1200 mAh or something similar) as well. Seem the avaiability of BST-34 is very low right now. But I think new units during September and onward will be shipped with BST-34 instead of BST-33 (probably why SE has removed P990 spec about talk/standby times from their site). |

Hi there, i have a hard time making a choise betwen P990 and HTC TyTN. I have checked in diffrent forums both poisitve and negative things about both phones.
My intension with the phone is ofcourse to call, check enmails, use the calender and use software like MSN and Skype.
P990 seems good but ppl says its to many bugs.
TyTN is good as well, just that its exopensier.
Now is it worth to pay more to get a HTC?
Can anyone give me any tips? |

Just got my Hermes.....I got the orange version m3100 which is pretty much identical to the TYtn but i like the styling of the m3100 better.
Must say what a great phone ...love it so far.....Think the p990's going back Just too basic for me for how much it cost.
I got this for virtually half the price and it does loads more...Just gotta try and unbrand it to get rid of the orange branding.

Just thought I should post some pics of my baby...loving it everyday... the HSDPA really comes in handy especially with streaming radio stations at 192Kbps right up to 320Kbps no problem
Here are some pics of my brown/grey LTD edition only available at select shops in Taiwan...

I think the TyTn is slowly winning me over.
It's just like what Masseur said about SE taking two steps forwards but one step backwards.
The TyTNn is fuctionally is what the P990 could have been, I mean it doesn't compare to the TyTn technology wise, and it costs more.
Again, the memory card issue is annoying, I've got so many duo sticks, buying different memory will just bring the price of owning a TyTn up.
I really need both of them in my had at the same time, although nor sure how to go abouts doing this? donations anybody? tee hee hee

its strange that people are saying the TyTN costs more because here in UK its £100 less, i.e. £500 vs £600
The move to transflash annoyed me too, as it did moving from full size SD on the JAM to mini SD on the k-jam. I see no real need for it at all in a device that can easily provide the space for the standard size SD.
However, I've now got a 2gb transflash in my TyTN so I'm sort of happy again with quite a few music videos and lots of music

I agree with you! not sure why people think the TyTn costs more.....maybe is because they have looked at the specs and seen the TyTn is more advanced thus thinking it's more expensive.
I'm just looking for a M3100 at the mo, trying to find a good deal, the 18 month one's look really good, although there is no way I'm commiting to an 18 month contract.
Anyone found any good deals for the M3100 on contract (12 month) & for a memory card for it preferably a 2GB one. |
