Well, that's a good price then. If it's NOT branded from some European Operator or is perhaps the Singapore version with Chinese !!! Check if it is Made in France. I am selling mine now for 519$

If your meaning of 'NOT branded' is the same as UNLOCKED then we're in the same wavelength. The phone is UNLOCKED and made in France. Why are you selling yours? Does this link have anything to do with it?

I've been reading posts about this phone on numerous forums and I'm aware of all the complaints against it and so I'm considering another option to buy.
For those who own/owned both the Nokia N80 and P990, can you provide testimonials and/or reviews?
The biggest features I'm looking for in phone are touch screen and wi-fi. Is N80's Wi-Fi 802.11g over P990's Wi-Fi 802.11b that much of a difference? Opinions and thoughts are welcome and appreciated. Thanks. |

This link has been pretty much proven to be bogus. The source they give doesn't exist!

I recently acquired a M600i and I love it to death
However, since I'm such a gadget freak; I went to the store and checked out the P990 (previously I used a P910).
Other than the obvious hardware difference:
2 x cameras
Wifi
Radio
Is there any software difference between the two? Don't both run the same software; thus provide the same applications/features?
Thanks for the insights

Is there something in the P990i ? I bought mine from SE USA !
Or are they talking about phones that are being sold via Operators?

You should know that the camera at the front can't be used (at least with the current fw) to take pictures. It's only used for video calls.

I don't find the article very credible. They may be referring to the line of mobile phones that have built-in GPS that MAY be possible to track. Although technically it's not entirely impossible, it would require intimate knowledge of the operating system (which I doubt even SE has at this point) and some kind of backdoor access to the phone, cooperation of the carrier, even then I think it would be noticeable. It would be much easier to monitor calls at the carrier exchange. In fact I believe that most land lines are being recorded and filtered for some key words. However, again you need a court order to listen to them. So, the next step is for private companies to start selling encryption programs, and of course corresponding decryption programs to the law agencies It's capitalism after all
