Bloody hell, it's the Motorola MPX300 all over again.
I might have to go to the dark side and get a Nokia N93
this waiting has just killed my enthusiasm stone dead..
Bye SE you've lost another customer here. |

I have a pre-order with expansys so will recieve one of the "pre-release models" What i want to know is the following:
Whats the difference between getting one from uk and sweden?
If i receive on in the next day or so will i be sending it back or to a service centre to be repaired?
Are the problems hardware or firmware?
Why the official delay until september (is it only marketing?) should i wait to september.
I'm sure many have similar questions they want cleared up. |

the SE warranty applys all over the EU (at least)...so your p990 can come from sweden, and be repaired in the UK. But you have to get a proper invoice or similar document, with the serial number of the p990, to show the service center
i still donīt get is why only some european countries have Coming Soon again...and if this is related with the ones who will have it in stores even in August (Sweden, ?)...i hope thatīs true for my country lol

@ares
do you know if expansys give you an invoice with the serial number on it?
Also, just a quick thanks to all the guys keeping us up to date and and answering the main questions that are on everyone's mind. Cheers.

Got it working again. Messed around with which bookmark-folder to sync and that f...ed it all up.
The sync i really slow, though. Had hoped that USB2 should speed things up a bit. But it is sooooo nice not to have confirm the outlook sync every single time as it used to be. Actually, IMHO the whole PC-suite has improved considerably.

i donīt know, but if they donīt, they should - i think you should send them and email about the subject, telling them you whant that data on the invoice...
Iīm telling you this because some Service Centers can ask for it for servicing the equipment, and its safe to have it

According to the Swedish support center there are no such thing ass "pre-release models". The phone is out according to them... I pointed out to him that it seems like it's not released in for example UK but he didn't really belived me.. and he didn't know about any memory-faliur or browser-errors as well... Seems like the newspaper knows more about the phone then the support-apartment at least.
I don't think it's a big different in getting it from Sweden or UK. the hardware is the same (as for what I know). The thing might be that the FW will be newer and better on the UK-version... but then we can update ower swedish ones as well..
The quantity in sweden of p990 seems to be big... no problem in getting one even if you havn't pre-order... correct me if I'm wrong... (I've had 3 calls from stores where I had pre-orderd who said it's in for pickup.. only took the first one.. hehe)

Beginners question: Where/how do I see remaining memory (i.e. the volatile OS-leaking kind...)? I guess it is NOT the figure give in File manager - Available space, correct?

What is the price for a sim free model in Sweden? Are the any online stores that ship worldwide or within Europe?
Thanks

Expansys appear to have clarified what they are meaning by pre-launch stock:

| I do know that the first stock will be EU Stock and also that push functionality will not be supported in the first batch of products but you will be able to upgrade the ROM in a few weeks to upgrade to this functionality. |

Yeah, this was stated by expansys about 2 weeks ago.
The first batch will not be final release firmware for the UK (few more bug fixes and push email support) - but a firmware upgrade will sort this problem out
phones2udirect and mphone both state they are getting stock thurs/fri this week (in line with expansys) and mphone have spare stock when I rang them!

All this negativity is making me start to think about getting a p990 now, although I've already purchased my Martin Fields screen protector, hardly much in comparision to the Ģ590 the p990 is going for, but still.
But surely they will not release a new Pxxx(x) within the next 6 or even 12 months? - as this would be very poor (or cleaver) marketing, I can assure you I will be put off SE if they do this, and probably demand the new model as a free upgrade as I have been testing thier beta version the p990.
Are P990 owners happy with the phone, maybe you could give us some ratings out of 10 or 100, just to give those without one an idea. |

My personal feeling (and I have nothing to back this up with) is that SE will release an updated P-series phone within 6 months, with all the things that would make it bleeding edge: 802.11g, 3.2MP camera etc.
In saying that, I will be buying a P990i! |
