Funnily enough a week ago someone sent me a file via BT and after i received it and saved it, i found i couldnt delete it either in FO or FC mode. I had to re-boot the p990i in order to do it, since then i havent had any problems.

Mind you that was through BT rather than getting a sms text that i couldnt delete.

1. the 'qwerty' keyboard.
since i'm a 'predictive text' type, this really comes very handy.

hi.

i got my p990i last week and i am just wondering if any of you guys are having any trouble with the 3g video calls? i wanted to learn more about my new phone so one time i tried using the 3g video call function. it was the first time for me to do a video call and i was amazed by it. according to my friend, it took some time before she could see me on her phone ( a nokia) but i immediately saw her image on the p990i. it was fun although i could barely hear her voice thru the phone's speaker.

but while i was in the middle of a conversation with my friend, the p990i's screen froze and i lost the connection of the video call. in other words, the p990i hanged. i can't remember if other applications were still on when i made the call. have any of you guys experienced the same thing with your p990i?


another thing...
i'm in the philippines and a globe subscriber. i called up globe's hotline to ask for the configurations for the MMS, GPRS, etc... on the p990i. i was disappointed when they said that they still do not have the settings for the new p990i. i managed to get the MMS configurations from the sony ericsson website but i not with the GPRS settings.


a little help from you guys will be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Discovered a wonderful trick that Masseur had described earlier.

Plugged-in the wired headset into the P990, switched on the FM Radio, linked my BT HBH-DS970 to the P990 to listen to the FM wireless and you can switch stations using the skip track switch on the DS970! Now this really is 'handy' little bounus

hi how much did you get the p990i? Why is that globe doesn't have the configuration. Maybe you should try the setting on the m600i because they have the same Operating system. Anything else happen to your phone after hang from using videocall??

I tried it with my p990i but it kept saying video calls not available, probably due to tmobiles crappy network coverage but i did have the 3g icon and full reception.
But to be honest its not something that i would use as its quite expensive at the moment.

Works perfectly fine for me although i havent really tried it to be honest, had a go earlier on but didnt process it etc.

At the moment i have about 15mb of ram available but thats without any apps running.

bluesun..

connect thru wi-fi and open Web (Opera) and use the Sony Ericsson Start Page and click Settings, enter the required info and you will receive your settings.

im on SMART Network and i was told the same, no configuration yet for p990i. I used Sony Ericsson Start page and was able to get the SMART MMS and GPRS/WAP settings.

So far i never experienced any problems when i am using video call.

Im also using Mac (MBP) and installed Boot Camp for me to synchronize my Contacts and was able to use SEUS to update CXC 162037 R4B001 to CXC 162037 R5A006.

So far Boot Camp is the only solution until apple releases an updated iSync.

Like Jah i feel the same about my p990i although im not too impressed with the audio quality of the p990i, well to be exact its the overall volume of the media player that im not impressed with. But its not a big deal for me as i use my k800i as my media player along with my hbh ds970 bt headset and it works brilliantly well.

The RAM issue isnt much of a concern to me to be honest and i really cant understand why some people are making such a big fuss over it really. I mean who in their right/sane mind would run 10 or more apps???, frankly its laughable. I myself have no problems running the web browser, typing out an sms or email and then opening up the rss feed to check my rss feeds and ive yet to suffer a crash or hang. So personally i dont really see the RAM issue being such a problem as some here make it out to be. I think with the new firmware recently, multi tasking has become alot better in my opinion. Funny how people moan about the p990i but yet arent willing to get rid of it .

The p990i does have bugs, no doubt about it but so far ive had it for over a week and i have to say everytime i pick it up im constantly amazed by its capabilities...its an amazing unit for what it is. 3G web browsing is super fast as Jah earlier said...the only problem i seem to be having is trying to access secure pages, keeps coming up with an error saying network error...i dont know if its the built in browser or its my network thats causing the problem there. Will have to check on k800i to see if i get a network error.

Other than that i love it despite its little bugs and niggles...would i recommend this phone??..without a doubt yes. In fact ive recommended it to my boss whos quite impressed with the phone and is looking to get a few for the company.....just hoping that the blackberry connect will eb working soon as hes most interested in that.

Thats my views on the phone, until something better comes out i dont think ill be getting rid of this phone for a long time.



If I gave the phone to my users I am certain that within a day or so I would have a pile of so called "faulty" units on my desk. Most "non SE enthusiast users" will expect the phone to manage the memory for them,it simply would not enter their heads that they have to manage the processes themselves and nor should they given the cost of the phone. In the business I am in people like to have the latest high tech gadget to show off at the track and theyu all want it (me included) , but at the moment I am a long way from recomending this phone for purchase, so far I have been acused of knocking and exagerating the phones bugs! looks to me like I was sport on!
