No matter what people say in reviews, most people will get a P990, whether they are outdated or not, I mean who needs a 3.2 mega pixel camera anyway, but we all need wi-fi.

When buying anything there is an emotional element and logical element to the decision making. Some people would say the girls make purchase decisions much more emotional 'feel' (quickly checks to make sure wife is not reading this  ). Now Esato and My-symbian are for people who own/use Symbian and SE devices mainly so it is not surprising that people who visit here would buy the P990 (i.e. emotional decision).

Still not sure if I should upgrade on O2 and get a K800i and buy p990i sim free or just to upgrade to p990i on O2.
What advice could anyone give me? ( I have asked before but sadly people ingored me  )
Thanks in advance. |

@Timmmmy !!
buy both, compare,refine you requirements and choose one. They're both great from reviews I've seen but obviously aimed at different market segments. But I am sure you know the key differences!

Thanks, either way I'm definatley going to get a P990, but I'm unsure of whether to but one sim free or get one as an upgrade on O2, because people say that newtowrks "do things" to the handset, for example my orange P900, has branding and had some orange stuff on it but surly it is not deprived of its features.
Also if I purchase Sim free rather than contract which will cost more in the long run? - would prefer to save as much as I can.
Again thanks in advance. |

I poped into a phone shop just off Barclays Square London last thursday to see if by the off chance they had a P990i (in the shop window they have m600i amoung other phones that have yet to be released in the UK). He called me just now and said that he has some P990i in stock now, but the price will be just under £700. Its tempting, but too expensive! |

http://www.3gpvideos.below24.[....]der,date/limit,5/limitstart,5/
its isnt playing very well on my p900 which the video stalls towards the end of the movie.
Would like to know the performance on a p990.

I guess some people probably have more money than sense.
I remember a long time ago I was offered a Nokia 8210 (I was young and had no sence), before it hit the streets as it were, they only had a few in stock and for some reason the guys in the store had opend all the boxes and had already used the handsets!??!
I pointed this out and they basically said take it or leave it, even though the price tage was astronomical.
I got one in the end, but not from those filthy thives.
Morale of the story, make sure the box is sealed

@Timmy
it looks like network P990 will not be available until September. As with the P800 I think there will be shortages of stocks as people who own P900s and P910s want to upgrade. Also Vodafone have gone public in saying they will not subsidise 3G phones just to sell 3G contracts. I noticed that at www.phones2udirect.co.uk and www.mobilefun.co.uk the P990 prices on O2 & Voda look high but at www.foneplanet.com on Orange the prices seemed better. I have been told by www.scancom.co.uk that after August even Orange are reducing their subsidies. Also we know that after the initial stocks which will finally be delivered to retailers start of next week we should not expect any more SIM free handsets until September. So this is a long winded way of saying that P990 prices are unlikely to go down until the January sales! While the K800 is being given away!
