To al1982:

Yes, why not wasting bandwith and have friends tell friends what the ranting is and then we wonder why nothing ever happens and nothing is fixed. BECAUSE people don't rant where the SE people are looking!

regards

And why don't we start a new thread when the actual FW is available to the public. There will be enough time to talk about it. Especially when more people have it for real.

Perhaps the guys in Germany were just pulling a late April Fools! [addsig]

Wait several months and keep trying the update service on the SE website

Or get a job at SE and see if they'll let you update your phone before the rest of the world.

i hated my 6600 for its VGA camera..i wouldn't go back to VGA anymore as i have 2MP now which has the performance of 3MP camera(experts test it and compare it with N80 camera).

whats the harm in having the frontal camera also for photos despite it sucks?

Nokia does this, why not SE?

Sorry...but am a bit greedy

I just tried checking the SEUS and when it downloaded, I got this message for the first time, "There was an error setting up the local database, please try to restart the application".... maybe SE is uploading R5A as we speak...?

i can use front camera for portriait photos on my w900 so i think they should enable it. And btw i thought it was posible since p990 is/was the flagship
