    hello....just wondering why prices for p990i is dropping though it seems to be a do it all phone..price here in dubai is at 1900 and that comes with a bundle of freebies,i.e. bluetooth headset and tickets for a waterpark...why?is it simply because its been more than a year since it was released? or some unsolve issues with its software?


    anyway, if you buy the phone here in dubai now does it pack a new updated version of firmware?



    thanks!!!

      Endless glitches and many small problems spoil this otherwise average phone. Often freezes, backlight can slowly fade off, and if u get a call in middle of performing a function, like changing interphase, whole thing stuck.Gotta swithch off and restart.Why does it take SO long to restart ? reception not good either. Lots of functions, but poor internal memory.

          to update your SE Phone, go to sonyericsson.com and select your region, then go to the support area and there you will find the update service... select your phone model and follow the instructions then your done ^_^ its easy^^ just be sure to back up your important files though, coz if u update ur phone, it will all be erased... Cheers!! Cheers to all SE users!! yeeeeeeeeeaaaah!!

                              there are only 3 UIQ phones at the moment and P1 will add to the list in the future. so the lack of sofware support is a huge concern but after P1's release 'm prety sure they could be even more. bad thing motorola collaborates with the UIQ utilization, but i's not a touchscreen version so it's useless. they even make another standards alone=( unlike before(so will there be any softwares for UIQ 3.1 as it is on UIQ 3?) if only motorola incorporates UIQ 3 instead, then UIQ 3 software support will be better.

                                    seems like previous P990 future buyers who have ditched this thing like a hell because of the software problems repored by those who have used the early versions have reverted towards the interest for P990. seems like some people have already discerning the recent improvements and the defuncted interest caused by the previous problems are are now being gone little by little. keep up the good work SE..=D

                                        Dr.A.A.M,

                                        Try contacting SE cuz u might have received a lemon unit. I would recommend updating ur p990i. u can update ur phone by downloading the software update program at SE's website.
