From the URL:
"The later release of the P990 does however have compensations in the form of several improved and new features. Video streaming and playback will now be capable of 30fps in full screen mode, the audio recorder adds support for ACC+ as well as the ability to record from the in-built FM radio. There is also a 3D golf game to showcase the 3D graphics accelerator included in the P990's hardware. "The hardware accelerator gives a whole new dimension to mobile gaming," says Oskar. "This new game really shows the advantages of this technology and what can be achieved on the P990. These changes also position the P990 as an exceedingly competent multimedia device, not just a great business tool." Support for developing 3D graphics will be available to C++ and Java developers, with Java support provided by JSR-184.
A business card scanning application has been added too. This allows business cards to captured directly into the contacts application on the P990, using the camera. This application is also an example of co-operation with a third party developer."
Nice. |

Decisions Decisions! A cool every day slim phone or a cooler every day large phone!
With regards to the P990 over the M600, and the M600 not having a WiFi connection, I have a question, someone here will know the answer I'm sure.
How would you go about setting up push email for your phone? Would it be network dependant? Could I use something like my ISP's email address? The direction I'm going with this is, if I could get push email on my phone, using my existing email address, then the loss of Wi-Fi wouldn't be too much of an issue to me. I think I'd only really use the wi-fi function for downloading mail on the move (especially working in London daily), so if push email is cheap enough, I don't need such a monster phone as the P990. I've had all 3 P's so far, and really rate the P990, it's just this new one looks so much more practical.
Cheers all. |

From the sounds of things, it seems possible that the W810 will be out before the P990. The M600 will try to eat into the "Blackberry" market and the P990 firmware or packaged products are coming along. The RSS support and 30fs full screen video playback and sound recording from the radio are all welcome. My main concern with the P990 (apart from it not coming out any time soon) is if the "Full function internet browser" or Opera Browser 8 supports Macromedia Flash, even if it is the Lite version on the M600 W900. Oh it would be nice if they add the ability to record voices during a voice call.
from the look of this picture will the mp3 player support pics?

i would have thought the video player shows the video larger and has a video picture on the top left. look at the functions carefully, it has skip and shuffle. |

I noticed two significant things since the update on the delay link posted on the previous page of the P990i.
LINK: http://www.sonyericsson.com/s[....]1_1&zone=pc&lm=pc3_1&prid=4638
1) Memory Stick PRO Duo support up to 8GB (very positive & killer device)
2) The P990 will be commercially available in Q2 2006. The variants will be:
P990i Dual mode UMTS (2100MHz) - GPRS 900/1800/1900 for Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Africa
P990c Dual mode UMTS (2100MHz) - GPRS 900/1800/1900 for Mainland China. (Launch for mainland China dependant on availability of 3G services.)
Notice from the first listing of variants that America's is NOW dropped from its description?!!! Does this mean we can expect a possible 850/1800/1900Mhz with UMTS 850/1900Mhz bands?!!
I hope so, and if so SE offer it in true playa, never can go wrong BLACK! |

That's probably and embedded image n the MP3, generaly of the album cover. The MP3 format has support for that.
People with iPods generally use this feature.

I think it's a way of saying that the memorystick (internal memory too?) now works like a regular flash pen drive.
You plug in windows and appears as a external/removable drive.
It's plug'n'pray

And there was me hoping it meant something else - like it could host USB or something. When are we going to see devices with USB on-the-go or whatever it is so I can connect them together!? |
