Hi Everyone,
Firstly, congratulations to all you P990i owners out there!
Just would like to trouble those of you who have the phone already, is it possible to make a recording of the fm radio broadcast? Also if possible to record fm radio, is the recording in wav or mp3 format or some other format?
Thanks so much in advance & hope to hear a reply from you lucky p990i owners 
Regards,
Tiger Lee |

Haven't found a way to record anything exept from the mic directly (not from radio or call), so i guess you can't. |

Just got my p990i from a store in Tsim Tsha Tsui (or something like that) in Hong Kong. I was quoted about $9000 HK dollars (which is close to $1150 US). I got it eventually for $6900 HK (about 880$ US).
Being charged right now. |

joel80,
How long does it take on your unit to start the webbrowser? On mine it only takes around 7 seconds from when I press the menu option till the loading progress bar appears (wifi/3g is at that point connecting in the background).
I've only been able to stream realaudio from bbc radio1, having problems with the nasa tv realmedia stream.
radio1:

nasatv:

ok tommorrow im gonna order a p990 from expansys, i love the m600 but wifi and camera cant live without neither, and the screen is smaller than p990.
i love my buggy pxxx phones, with all the features and i hope this time it will be a bit better.
only thing i dont want is the expansys 18 month contract but i guess its the only way not to pay silly money for the phone. |

@PeterKay
Yes, I spoke to O2 who said delayed to September, local Vodafone shop knew Orange would be the first network to have a P990 out, T-mobile have no news at all.
But you can get unbranded O2 and Voda packages from phones2udirect and mobileshop

The download speed over wlan is fast, I downloaded two files, one 6295KB in 47s and another 3040KB big in 23s, from a local webserver on the same network. The speed equals 133KB/s which I think is just where it should be.
I tried two simultaneous downloads but the phone crawled almost to a halt and the average speed for both was some what lower, I got 124KB/s.

Only takes about 3-5 sec after setting up large cache.

Hi Joel80,
that means that you recommend using nav4all?
It would be a great software because I'm travelling a lot in the world and the software would allow to navigate in almost all countries and this for just a very cheap price in the future.

the program can be used as a map-program only if you don't have a GPS-reciver.
I need help with something else.. sorry for multiposting this in more then one group.. but after updating fw i can't send mails! please test this anyone that have done the update.

No one got any suggestions then? What do you think they will replace my p910i with and what should I push for? Sounds like p990i seems bit buggy! Can't cope with another 2 years of constant problems like I had with my p910! Is the m600 stable? |

Depends on what you are searching for. As a real fast way to get a map of where you are and search adresses and so it's super and cheap. (doesn't cost a thing so far.. the GPS-reciver i bought can be used wirh other softwares too.)
But In Stockholm I have had a few faulty directions... Like left-turns that are forbidden and missing of a changed way thats about 6 months old. (The map is correct and updated.. but the rout that it wants me to take was not right.)
I will use it in Amsterdam in about 2 weeks. Not with car, only as a map and to find my hotell and so on.
Otherwise the GPS-functions are pretty good. A bit to advance meny that could be better...
But the fact that's it's free makes it worth it.
