Jasper,
Just free up memory. Opent the task manager and close all running apps. The game should start quicker. The game eats up alot of ram.

I am a fan of the P series and I have been using the series since P800. I have just bought the P990 but I have found it to be simply the slowest and the most difficult to operate of all the P series. The keyboaard and the screen freeze too often. Sony should please do something urgently to save our belove P series.

Galleon,
Yah. I experience some sort of instablities. Especially when trying to use the web browser using either the WLAN or the network connection(3G) on net browsing. And it automatically restarts itself sometimes, then displays...'The phone has restarted to improve performance. Newiey, I hope it'll be fixed with the new phone software update. I'm in your situation before, trying to choose between p990 and n73. But then I realize that i need the smart phone capabilitiy than the half-breed (camera/multimedia and smart phone) n73. Y? Because i believe that something(like the n73) that tries to do-it-all, always have something to compromise to. And that frustrates me. It'll not perform the way you want it to, so I just have to buy a digicam and a 'smartphone' instead. About the speed, its ok, but I recommend on investing on high capacity memory card. Because when i try opening a word doc that is above 150kb, it shows 'not enough memory'. I have'nt bought a mem card yet.

Hi K.C.
Also I will have to buy the euro P990i. Pls tell me something about P990i' OS. Does OS run properly? You have any major trouble , while you are using it? Non - EDGE is a major problem for me because We dont have mobile operators which has UMTS only EDGE and GPRS but P990 has no EDGE. but I will buy P990i inspite of without EDGE. Now I have just a doubt about OS. If You have seen any serious problem pls inform me.

Woah! I just bought the p990 for 31k pesos (around 520$). I'm a first timer of the P series but the OS is easy to get into. I used to own a PDA. I chose it over a pda because of the keypad advantage. I find it hard to type an sms (using a touchscreen alone) on the go. That makes me bump to someone while walking. Laughs. The only problem I have is the device's speed, else are good. Go SE! Cheers! World peace.

Does P990 support 2GB (or maybe even 4 GB) MS Duo Pro Cards? I have one left from my W800 and if it supports such cards I'd buy it.

Long long ago, when P800 came out, the phone was unique with what it had to offer, then P900, updated but disappointed with so few updates and a long wait. Then it comes to P910, a complete waste, same now, P990 is some sort of waste to me, compare to many other PDA fones, the size of this fone is too big, slow, and too expensive. Eventhough I'm a huge fan of SE, since the time of T68i, when every1 were using Nokia 8210, 8310. I had to admit that P990 is rubbish, after I looked, hold and tried to used it for a day... I'd go for Qtek PDas or Motorola A1200, and if it's the qwerty keyboard that you are after, many other PDAs offer better....

Tarantula, if you see this be advised that someone is spamming with your name in N93 forum... Or then it was sending from another ip or something.
