User Submitted Sony Ericsson P990i Unlocked Cell Phone with 2 MP Camera, 3G, MP3/Video Player, Memory Stick Pro Duo Slot--International Version with No Warranty (Premium Silver) Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-02-20 SLOW!!! I had the P910i before and thought this is the natural upgrade. However, I found this phone to be very slow and not compatibable for bluetooth sync with my iMac. Would have stuck with my P910i. Date: 2007-01-30 That business phone keeps you busy! When I first heard about the P990i and the specifications, I was really impressed. After I received it, this became less and less. So many bugs and crashes with a cell phone! Incredible! So I waited for the long promised firmware update, everything should be ok then, at least they promised. But this phone is still of minor use. Here are some major reasons why: 1. No transflective display, barley to use outdoors in a sunny state like CA! 2. Far away from the promised 14 day standby (6 days in best case)! 3. Restarts quite often when using it with 3rd party applications! 4. Also built in applications do crash sometimes! 5. No icon "appointments today"! 6. A backup saves only a part of the settings and no third part applications/settings (and even worse: all recorded voice commands are lost)! 7. Crashes sometimes during a phone call! 8. User buttons can only be defined with a few and different functions, dependent on the button! 9. Number keys can only be defined for phone numbers, no additional functionallity like "Bluetooth on/off"! 10. Office sync does not work for international phone numbers! 11. Have you ever had a phone that takes almost 2 minutes for booting after turning it on??? These are only some of many problems this phone still has. After all that trouble I wish I could give it back and buy a working phone from a different vendor. It really seems like this phone and its software was built up in a rush and nobody ever was testing it in real business conditions (leaving the SQA for the stupid customers). This is really poor after all that long development time. I will definitively never buy a SE phone again, the market is full of much better working devices. And it will become even better in June... Good to know that there are at least some companies who really know what counts to keep their well paying customers! Date: 2007-01-11 Disapointing I was a big fan of the p900 and really looked forward to getting the 990, sadly the phone is constantly locking and crashing... I have to take out the batteries to rebot. When charging from mains power supply the phone does not allow me to answer incoming calls! very frustrating for such a promising smart phone.. I going to change the sim card to element this as an issue but dont hold out much hope.. Date: 2007-01-10 Terrific phone with a learning curve I have owned several different types of phones (Cingular 8125, Cingular 3125, Cingular 2125, Sony 600i) and this has moved to the top of phones that I have used. Pros **Styling: Love the styling of it. It is a good looking phone that is a little funky but has a nice clean look. **KeyPad and touchscreen: I love having the keypad on the front so that I do not have to type a phone number on the screen. It is convenient. Then to be able to flip it open and be able to type in on the screen or with the small keyboard. Nice. **Syncs with Outlook: I have had few problems having it successfully sync up with Outlook and to have all the contacts for easy access...very nice. **Phone quality: So far so good. My calls sound good and people tell me that it sounds good when I am tlaking to them. **WiFi: I love it. It still surprises me that the high end smart phones don't carry t (such as the Palm phones) but this phone does and it works well and is easy to use. **Lock feature: It is a quick slide action on the side to lock the keyboard so you don't accdiently dial. There is no need to press 2 buttons to unlock as it is just another flick on the side of the phone and it is unlocked. Easy to use and quick to use and thats appreciated. Cons: **Kinks: Yes, there are some kinks with the software but this is to be kind of expected in that it really is a computer that acts like a phone at times. But, I haven't had the problems that others appear to have had in regards to slowness, etc. **Camera: Good quality, but it takes a bit to get comfortable in using. **Learning Curve: I have used windows mobile and I have been comfortable using that software as an interface for my phone. Now switching over to Symbian has taken me a while to get use to icons and functionality. It is a good operating system from what I have seen, but it has taken me some time. Overall, it has been a terrific phone and I plan on using for it the next year. Well done Sony. Date: 2007-01-09 Sony Ericsson 990i Excellent functionality. This is an upgrade from my previous Sony Ericsson 900 phone. Access to contacts and all information is much faster, the operating system provides much easier use of all features. Camera has much more resolution. Wi-Fi is the main reason I bought this product and it works great.
