Well, that is all nice etc. but, anybody that claims to have R6 already, should know if they got a different OS already?!?! No?! Yes!
If anybody has R6 and still Symb.9.0 then why would we get anything else later on? All those 'assumptions' when the ram is better, when whatever is better .... then is must be... blah... is just speculation, no?
BUT anybody that flashed its phone to R6 either has a different OS and features or not. Looks simple actually. And if that would be the case, then we all can hope more on the side of possibility instead of assume ( ass / u / me ...

This upgrade will change the core code of the OS, not so much what´s on surface, much like what happens with nokia service packs
You will notice it mainly on the phone performance. But, it seems they will add some other features, and changes on the menus - this is not however confirmed, i am not sure of any of those.
What i am 100% sure, is that the basis of the P990/M600/W950 OS will be upgraded.
About your question - yes, ajack can tell us if the R6 he is testing is already based on the new OS. But he seems to avoid letting that info out. I guess because such kind of infos will only by openly released after the big 8th announcements (and it makes sense)

i think that you are right with the new symbian version.
but what do you think personnaly regarding the extended desktop in fo mode? will we see an enhanced desktop where one can chose between more than four icons, like the desktop of the p700, or do you think, that we won't get something like this? i am really interested in your 5 cent... |

My guess is yes, we will have it for the P990, along with SIP support, etc

it makes sense to release the next OS upgrade of symbian to their sony ericsson phones cuz wwindows mobile6 is out and SE has alot of improvements to make upon their symbian phones to be able for them to compete w/ wm6. they have to fix there minor problems for their phones to shine in the market. |

I'm not sure if you know, but there is a "work around" of sorts if you're using SM. Just open your video file with SM in FC and your vid plays. |

Ok I was just talking to a nice DEVELOPER who works on a P700 proto and has also P990 with R6 upgrade.... These are TWO upgrades for P990 - WITH and WITHOUT 9.3. And he gives 30% for a new Symbian 9.3 in P990. And 70% for the second R6 on the current Symbian. And he also says that P700 is on Symbian 9.2 - there's no phone on 9.3 yet..

Hi doministry
That is very interesting but have or you can you find out anything about the possibility of the P990 getting HSPDA? As a far as i am aware this requires different hardware, as if not why would it not automatically be enabled if it was already there any info would be greatly appreciated.
I am even considering getting a P990 or W950 and just holding it until the new version OS arrives as currently a brand new unbranded P990 can be bought £245 which IMO is some what of a bargain and W950's can be found cheaper even Vodafone have adverts stating £200 off the W950.
