I'm #4 on the preorder list at Official SE store here in Taipei, Taiwan. They just told me that P990i will be released during the 1st week of August. That specific store will be getting only 18 units initially, so for sure I will be getting mine since I'm #4 on the list! I've put a down payment of $100 US, the retail price is around $800 US dollars after tax. So for sure, the phone is not further delayed until Sept., I'll keep you guys posted.

sorry to go off (release date) topic but i do have one reservation about the P990i, ive come to get used to using magic profiles with my P900 (the automatic profile change using cell ids is GREAT) does the P990i use profiles for ringtones etc... and if not are we expecting any software ala magic profiles that will do that?!?!?! |

My current upgrade is due in september, i am paying £25 p/m so don't know whether it will be free!!
If its cheaper on a new contract, then i'll just cancel the current one and get my pac code and do it that way...
thats if it's out by then

Nothing is cheap around Christmas, wait till the January sales I am sure combining network promotions with in-shop promotions will be the way to get a good deal.
Join the 'dots' and see what happens |

Just a quick (possibly stupid) question: I think I read somewhere in this thread that the P990 has about 17 MB free after booting. Is this 17 MB equivalent to the approximately 22 MB I see free on my P910? That doesn't seem right to me, so I must be wrong. Can anyone clear this up or explain for me? Thanks.
P.S. These most recent reviews and stunning sample photos make me want this phone so bad! Menus look smooth, navigation looks quick, and the whole package sounds great. After waiting for over a year, it's definitely going to be worth it. |

In many internetshops in Norway they offer two different P990's.

The ony difference is NS in the end of the product-number and that the first one (the NS) is availible 3 weeks before the other. What does NS mean?

Well Expansys are now saying 3 days before release, so only time will tell. Just hope i get one as im desperate for this phone.
Also heard that Expansys are saying the first units will not support push capability out of the box but will do soon to an update a few weeks later. Does anyone know if this is true??, i hope not as thats one of the main reasons im buying this phone. |
