Hii all, I just wanna to know some things about p990i cause iīm really thinking to buy one.
1- The audio quality of the media player is the same of w800/w810. Any diferences in max volume?
2-What applications that comes with the p990 are totaly free? (not the try and buy ones)
3- Built quality. Any cracking?
4-Qwerty keybord: Is it practical?
5- Vibrating power: Good enough or sometimes you canīt sense anything like in W810?
6-Battery life: Better then the other P models or the same?
7-Loudspeaker and calls volume. Is good like the other P models or is crap like in k700/k750 ? (With my old w800 i canīt ear a thing when is too noise around. Max volume was too low)
8-Ram issue: You can run at least 3 or4 simple aplications like Messaging, Control panel, Agenda, Camara, Contacts, Media player, at the same time?

1 - superb quality, not as loud as K800,
2- have a look here: http://my-symbian.com/uiq3/review_p990i.php
3 - best so far for 'P' series
4 - yes, especially with the predictive text feature
5 - okay for me
6 - if you have 3G coverage you'll only get at most 1.5 days of use as opposed to over 2 days from the P910i
7 - not sure as I only use BT headsets, which I find okay
8 - can't really run Messaging, Opera & Media player all at the same time unless you've just booted, otherwise you can run many many other app together (e.g. as many as 10)

Thank you  But there is any option to turn 3G off and just use 2G? Here we have 3G coverage but i donīt use. With 3G and wifi off, the battery life will be the same as p910 right? |

I have a question for P990 owners;
Is it possible to display the cd-covers in the mediaplayer while listening to the songs? As in the SE W950i? |

Still awaiting P990i availability in KSA.
I wonder if P990i has the feature where you can pause your favourite music or radio whenver you desire through the pre-packed headset. I kinda miss a lot this feature with K750i as well as in N70 headsets. This is normally avaialble with siemens mobile phone headsets - convenience to pause the music whenever wihtout pulling the whole unit for the said operation. As i hate to pull the earplugs/earphone when somebody is talking to you during your usual music playback. Can someone advise pls. |

Goto:
Controlpanel / Connections / "Mobilenet" (dunno exactly what is called, runs my in Swedish)
Then klick on the "drop down menu" at the top, select "GSM/3G"
There you can select what types of network you wanna use.

With the pre-packed headset, you cant but with the se stereo bluetooth headset....you can.
If you dont want a stereo bluetooth headset, just buy the headset for the walkman phones and when someone talks to you.....pull out the 3.5mm jack. |

Or you just buy a audio-plug for about 6 euros..
Check tradera (sweden) or maby ebay.
I bought one of these... works nice to plug in to my carstereo.

And there are even more simple and slim ones too:

try this for SUPER FAST MENU RESPONSE:
1. Reboot your phone
2. Flip down to full screen mode
3. tap on the "up arrow" tab on bottom left hand corner of LCD screen. Then tap on any of its menus. Take note of the "speed" of opening these menus.
4. Tap on the large "Main Menu" icon (2nd icon on the bottom left of LCD screen). Take note of the animated transition effects. Also take note of the "speed" of this effect.
5. Now, go to Media Player and start the Video player. Playback a video file, perhaps the demo if you have not encoded any videos.
6. Now go back to the main screen and test out step 2 - 4 again...
you can skip 3 and 4.
