      Hi All & To Unknown

      i already said that there is nothing bad in this set
      as i have to think i have to sale ya change this set
      i m telling u the differance thats fact what i wrote
      here if u have 910i or 990i but with R9F then compare it which is fast?
      about Ram if u r using swiss manager pro then check
      what is the actual space of the ram and how much is
      free for use user available memory? thats the main fault is
      in this set Ram problem
      alarm sound was also good in R9F dont think so
      R9G is faster cant receive or make the call in R9G without
      flip but this thing was avail in R9F
      Transaction online is not the key feature ;-) and also not supported here
      opera new version but with lot of problems this same thing was in R9F
      but this is solveable no problem but thats true R9F is good
      again i will say who is using R9F dont go for R9G

                    Really, Really happy with this model. Apart from all of its other qualities really love the supports/updates/downloads that I get on the sony website. Few vital minuses, low sound speakers and there is no conversation recorder. But for such a low cost, am very happy.

Does anyone know this is true or lies? Helps

                        After research finally i choose this p990 phone from other candidat such as 02,nokia base on smart n pda phone. price for this phone now is competitive with the full fuction when installing n update firmware/software. P1 just win the camera 3Mp ,memory higher than p990, design n batery. other feature is same. Let's see qwerty keyboard in p990 better than P1. Viva P990i

                          to SHaKeel

                          why would you tell people not to upgrade firmware?

                          these are some of the improvements of the new firmware as observed by P990i users.

                          * More Ram - ~16MB at startup
                          * Fast startup
                          * Overall fast response to applications and menus
                          * Browser is fast (new opera version)
                          * Camera improved - auto focus more responsive, better video recording
                          * New icons for .jar or .sis in file explorer
                          * Gallery preview is no more blurry
                          * Music update is faster
                          * Auto key lock is default now
                          * Alarm is loud and at a constant level
                          * A new menu has been added under control panel - others: payment transactions

                          anyways if you're happy with your firmware, thats good for you.
                          any other P990i users out there who are happy with their current firmware, you can stay with it if you want. as long as you're satisfied.
                          im just sharing the improvement that new firmware will give.

                              Mr. Neo - It is expected to drop price of P990i considering that this unit was already in the market for almost a year now (or so). I bought my unit the very first day it was launched in KSA first week of October last year (2006) and it costs me 3,000 Saudi Riyals. However, I heard that all units available in the Philippines are re-conditioned from China that's the reason also why price is 14,000 pesos while in KSA still around 19,000 pesos.

                                lloyd - Up to 8GB is supported. It mentioned clearly in the User Manual. If you are still planning to buy P990i, I would recommend to wait either W960 or P1. There's nothing wrong with P990i but this unit is pretty old already. I am using mine for 10 months already. P1 is a better alternative or even N95 as I am using as well.
