When i make a call the, hold and speakerphone buttons have gone, it just says end call! anyone have any ideas why? its not a huge issue, ill be back to my vodafone sim soon, its just strange how a sim card would affect my phone like that

My P990i is running out of steam! Had it since Sept 2006.
Signal keeps cutting out; calls go straight to voicemail; voicemails do not appear until ages after they were created; I can hear people but they can't hear me;
All issues are same with TMUK, O2, Orange and Voda sims as have one of each (sad eh!)
Tried different/new battery - still no better
Already on World Generic 1 - not aware of any new firmware upgrades after this one
Am due upgrade on Voda and was thinking of W960i - but fear that after having upgraded the firmware on P990i 9 times since I had it that SE is purely selling it as a Walkman 'with toys' and losing credibility. I like the look and feel of it - and don't want to go for N95 8GB as it is bulky.
Guess will have to revert back to my old stock |

Micro SD adapter to pro duo. That's certainly news to me. Wow, what else will they come up with. Nway, just felt like dropping by and post in this thread. It's been over a year since I got the P990 and I just feel that with all the stuff that went down throughout, I still feel that its hardware design (minus the minute amount of RAM) is still the best in the market and suits all my needs, 4 text input methods (2 of which are hardware inputs), ability to switch from tc interface to single handed navigation (thanks to the great navi-pad on the flip), the convenient swivel camera cover and dual-front look with strong LED flash, sleek and professional outlook, keylock slider on the side which is very convenient for saving power (keylock switches off backlight) and excellent touchscreen which I have no problems with at all to date. I can't help but wish SE would retain such form factor and design (though they could always make it thinner even with the flip). I won't go into the software elements so I'll just leave it at that.

Yes, I can confirm that it takes an 8gb card as it would a 4gb card or any card which is excellent, just make sure you organize your files in folders just like you should for any card size if you want to maintain top notch performance

I am not sure that it would work as the 8GB SD cards are SDHC not just normal SD.

@itouch
Actually the video playback is flawless IMO, and eventhough you have to split your video in 60 minute chunks, transition between files is smooth with just about 2 seconds in between (though some have found a workaround for playing whole movies in a single file). I've played 2 movies back to back without completely draining the battery so I'd so that's impressive.
@chillax70
current and final firmware organizer version is R6E28 for World Generic 1 & 2 and a few other country generic phones

Can't help you there mate as I don't really use a2dp to date, but from what I gather it's a bit of a russian roulette since there are "good" and "bad" P990's out there. "Good" P990 owners mentioned flawless sound quality whilst "bad" P990's would produce hissing sounds. I personally have never had problems with bluetooth as far as file transfer is concerned

Im after a new smart phone myself as my old phone is growing tired.
I quite fancied the Nokia N95 Black or the Apple iPhone but I begrudge paying the premium fee of the iPhone as it really doesnt have the hardware of other phones which are free but the software is great.
O2 have just recently brought out new tariff structures though. http://www.rightmobilephone.c[....]hone-p355,1_Mobile-Phones.html
They seem to be giving more minutes not. It was a rip when they gave something like 300 and 200 for texts. Shocking con. Least they've up the stakes as they probably werent selling any.
Anyone know if the Nokia N95 Black is worth a shout? Was considering it on Vodafone with a mobile internet package. |
