Nitro Fan, I had quite a battle to get my computer to recognise my P990 but rather than the P990, I blame my firewall.

I use Windows One Care. I recently switched from Norton Internet Security because I found Norton was strangling my computer and hardly letting anything through without a lot of work on my part. It took several attempts to get past One Care but it was made a lot easier when I downloaded the latest version of PC Suite from Sony Ericsson.

I've now connected on two computers and learning from my first attempt the second was no trouble at all. I think the big difference was using the latest PC Suite.

geeze, its sad to note that we are bugged with sync issues. I am grateful that i manage to install my PC suite and it recognizes my P990i accoridngly. However i have trouble in synch-ing my outlook mails. The contacts and calendar are ok but my mail wont synch-in. My initiail success in synchronizing my mail which covers for the previous week was ok...but since yesterady i am synching again but it just hangs and does nothing and the program stuck on the intial prompt as if it stucks there and will not go anywhere. When you abort... all the windows application runs very very slow which will prompt me to reboot my system.

Is there any PC Suite update. i ahve installed the one that comes with the package. Sadly i cannot write down the suite version as am doing this at home (which the PC suite cannot be installed due to my old MS Window program). Is there any other program which can let me synch my mails effectively? Pls advise my tons of emails are very important in my work.

Thanks for the help.

by the by, are there any pc programs that let you type a text on your pc, and send through your (connected) 'phone?

?I think I may have asked this before but does anyone know how I can switch to a different folder using a hardkey in Contacts of Messages, without having to get my stylus out and tap on the folder in the top right corner of the screen? Eg Am in inbox view and want to go to Sent folder.

If all else fails go to the M600 download page. It's the same PC Suite:

@dark_knight_r3turns

Do not format your PC!

Its allmost 100% certain it's the SW at fault not you PC, I have spent most of the day on the phone to SE as Vodafone and cannot support the P990 at any kind of technical level yet and have had a very interesting time good job I am on annual leave!

1. SE told Voda not to release the phone as ther are too many known bugs and conflicts with Anti Virus SW and Firewalls.

2. The PC suite Voda are currently sending out with the P990 is faulty and is an outdated version that even SE dont really know where Voda got it from!. It has cused 10 blue screen crashes so far, I have had to uninstall my firewall and anti Virus SW (To zero effect other than to find a better product so I am pleased about that at least ) I have also had to check the registry for orphan entries, the lis of chaos goes on and on! (Ps SE told me to go to their corporate web page then go to support to get the latest PC Suite I did this but still wont work)

3. SE have told me that I need to do a Firmware Update right away but as even SE cant find a reason as to why my PC will not recognise my P990 I am still some way from achieving even this! I am now awaiting a call from their third line support desk, but I am advised they are "quite busy" at present

4. Apart from that lot I do not have much to report as I cant get the phone in any real condition for a proper evaluation until I can sync it, and I am a very long way from that at present.

One last thing, I know I upset a few members here when I mentioned early adopters were "Beta Testers" I meant no offence but was concerned that people were paying lots of money for a product that I felt would be problematic.

SE's tech team told me today "Sorry mate we are getting literaly 100's of calls a day now on this phone you are all really just "Beta testing" the phone for SE not my words his! So I am currently a Beta Tester too! but unless they can get their act together fairly quickly I wont be for long!!!

They have apparently had had business managers screaming at them as they have sold them for companys and are getting shouted at quite a bit, I felt quite sorry for them.

I am very disapointed in the phone so far
