The speed problems on the P990i have never seemed like a processor issue to me. I'm pretty sure it's memory. When the system runs out of RAM and starts swapping to the flash card, you're screwed -- like running into molasses, and that's IF the system doesn't crash.

This seems to be much better with the new firmware -- vastly snappier performance with much less swapping to the flash card.

I don't think more processor would be noticeable. Doubling the amount of RAM however -- and how much could that cost? This is what like a $700 phone for f**** sake.

P900 and P910 had 156 mhz processors, not 208 mhz.

Hello all!
Yesterday I got the newest fw! Everything is Perfect, just found 1 strange thing: after instalation of the new fw I try to upgrade 1 time more and Upgrade SW sayed - "There is newer FW, please install it". I did this again, but reseived just same upgrade.
My SW is:
Phone: R9F011
Bluetooth: R5A01
Organizer:R5A17
CDA: R5A13

Do you found the same thing with newest upgrade??

The jog-dial navigation in opera is fixed, no longer need to scroll to the end of a page before being able to jump from link to link.

One more difference in the new firmware is that in the "task manager" there used to be a bubble against the "end all" option,which we need to check to close all open applications.Now the bubble is gone.The bubbles are there now only for "sort by ...." options.
