Just Discasting 990i !!!

well the existing satisfied P series Users....

Itz a very bad news... but i have to say this...

"JUST DONT DARE TO BUY THIS P990i"

after using the P800, P900 & P910i...

nobody might have expected about 'Sony Ericssons' this major failure

P990i is just an idiot BOX, nothing elz...

the most dissapointing things are.... worst music quality,
crazy operating system & foolish scrolling!

just dont get attracted to the improved features, as i did...
like 2 MP camera, 3G, FM, or watever...
these thing r just not enough to hide its disadvantages

compared to P910i...
P990's music quality on handsfree & loudspeaker
is just worst, & it cud not be upgraded anyway.
( by changing its speakers or using the 'W series' handsfree too.)

no one cud expect this kind of sound quality from this kind of
most awaited & hopefull smartphone.

coz its sound reproduction is very poor itself, just like itz
complicated & irritating menu.

many applications have to b selected or exited by screentouch only!

then why d hell they gave the ' U-Turn ' key i dont know.

& remained 3 way scroller adds more irriations to this device.

overall just dont even think to buy this phone...
& if u have planned finally to buy p990,
just think & witness these points before paying 4 it!
or better buy a
p910i (new or second), wait 4 any upcoming good model
& till continue with P910i with pleasure, if u have.

Er...the sound quality on my P990 is very good. Works very well with HBH-DS970s. SIM free is also very easy to update to the latest firmware. Opera is blisteringly quick over 3G and wifi. The predictive text and the new keyboard make text input for much faster than the P910. The P990 can use upto 8GB Duo cards, unlike the P910. The FM radio quality is even better than the Walkman W950....
