Can I update my firmware myself?
Yes you can! http://www.sonyericsson.com/updateservice/P900/frameset.htm
Can an MP3 be used as a ringtone?
Yes you can. It wasn�t possible on the P800 yet, but on the P900 it is! 😃
What bluetooth profiles are supported?
Generic access profile, Serial port profile, Generic Object Exchange Profile, Dialup Networking Profile, Object Push Profile, Headset Profile, File Transfer Profile.
Please note that it doesn't have Handsfree profile
How do I convert a DVD to a file I can play on the P900?

Can Outlook categories be synced?
No, unfortunately not
Does the alarm ring when the phone is not on?
No unfortunately not. If you don't want to be called or have any other gsm-activities but do want to hear the alarm, put your phone on Flight mode.
What image-size is used for pictures to fit the screen exactly?
Although the screensize in FC mode is 208x208 and FO mode is 208x320, those aren't the exact size of a background-picture since there is a statusbar and an "applicationbar" etc.
These are the exact measures
Flip close: 208x189
Flip open: 208x254
Does the P900 have profiles?
Not natively, but there is software that can fix that.
