        simply the boom. But i have a question? Can you download Skype on it. Skype its like a messenger were you talk and see each other that is if you have a webcam. What happens with the p990i in these case?

                    To veryone who asked about firmware.
                    There is a new firmware that will fix your problem. The latest ones are as follows:
                    Phone: CXC162037 R9F011
                    Bluetooth: CXC16258 R5A01
                    Organizer: CXC162036 R5A17
                    CDA 162007/1 R5A13
                    You have to pay attention at the Organizer firmware where all problems are not the phone firmware. It is working properly. So the latest firmware is R5A17

                      HELP! I have done several software updates before but for some reason my update this time has been STUCK at 92% for the past 1 hr. I called up SE support and they said sometime it can take up to an hour or so. I know my window isnt frozen or nething cuz the animation in the update window is still active. SE support told me NOT to disconnect the phone in any circumstance. Any ideas? Thanks

                        SUPER COOL! I like the phone, i have it about for 2 months and it's very cool. I read most of user comments here and what i saw with my phone was not true. Phone it's working perfectly, not blocking at all, aplications are loading fast and the sound it's loud and clear. This phone was the perfect choice for me :)

                          @All
                          Guys it was discussed 100 times here!!! Just read some posts here and don't ask again the same questions. So - IF you have a branded phone i.e. coming from your cell operator like Vodafone or Orange etc. you may NOT have the latest Firmware but the one which is SPECIFIED to your operator/country.
                          Danny
                          The only solution is to look at FlipOpen Shortcuts menu where is also Today screen with meetings, unread messages, recent calls and tasks.

                                    the transition is the animation in your phone, if u turn it off the animation is off.. it really makes ur faster,wid dat off u can really see the real speed of the p990....

                                    example of the animation, with the flip closed mode, when u press the shortcut key of the calendar ull see dat the calendar icon enlarges ryt?? that't one of the transition
