Most likely.

The other likely reason is that due to phones such as the 6680 and N70 being released by Nokia, the old P910i wont stand a chance against them (poor vga camera, no 3G, old interface etc).

Nah it just confirms what SE already announced. That the P910 is no longer being produced. Any little stock that is left with any of those providers may be offered as a limited choice for hardware upgrades to those existing users who's own P910 is crushed. at possibly cost price of the wireless provider.

EDGE is only 2.5 times faster than GPRS. So it is not that great when most operators are already working on their UMTS/WCMDA/3G networks. I would say EDGE only hits the 2.5G mark.

Yes, you right but there are very major markets like USA that have poor 3G coverage and full EDGE support...

Still no excuse ... Orange France I believe has just launched EDGE networks; along with 2 other French wireless telcos and they all already have existing UMTS networks gone live long ago. Clearly there is a market for EDGE .... like the EDGE blackberry 8700f.

and finally the best proof for use of EDGE

Now dont comment that this isnt related because the P990i will use software licenced from RIM; the maker of the BlackBerry.

Hello all,

Been a while since I've posted here but anyway...

Just so you all know I was talking to my stores SE rep and he confirmed around the 28th of January the P990 will be in vodafone stores (and others presumed).

@etaab

I have both the N70 and P910, apart from the camera the N70 is nowhere near as good as a p910. The interface I would say is a step back from the p910, not a more modern one. The battery life is not as good and the memory cards are a faff to get in and out.

I've had my N70 over a month now and it is not the phone I thought it would be. If this is a sign of Nokia's to come my girlfriend will be leaving the only phone manufacturer she has ever liked. Also I don't think SE have anything to worry about no matter how much people think they lead or trail phone technology.

The only reason why I have this phone is the screen is bigger than a k750 and I'm waiting to get the P990 when it's released.

@ eskimo

Im aware the UIQ interface is more capable than the S60 interface, but im generally talking about the overall appearance of it. The old UIQ GUI looks long in the tooth now compared to the latest S60 GUI. Most people go on looks alone, not what the technology can actually do.

As for battery life, none of the P series have ever been that great where battery life is concerned, its one reason why i never owned P series for longer than 1 week in the past.

I just hope SE improve battery life with the P990i, especially since the phone now uses more wireless connectivity options (3G & Wi-Fi) which require more power than before.

...instead of going upward they landed on P900 keys... which I guess no one like they are too skinny to press and doesn't look good (I hate them!!) ...
SE P990 lost the pride of its exclusive design by making it resembled to other PDA available which have almost same design except flip, which is now of NO use.

I'm really disappointed with its design more specifically the keys, keyboard position.



- I love the slim chrome P900 Keys with the blue lit numbers and letters - I think it is really classy and cool - The P910 flip keys by comparision look clumsy and more like a childs toy to me. - Funny how opinions can be so different
I was even trying to work out that if I got a P910 whether I could use a P900 key pad on it

Ah well I'm glad the SE engineers have the same styling taste as me - I would like the screen slightly bigger (longer) like the P910/900 - not just more pixels...

Have a great day anyway...

I hope to god it has some gaming keys. That really lets the p910 down IMO.
