maxwell, 17 Feb 2010guys one of the problem of P990 is even you already deleted... morefor the problem of files to be remained even after deleting them or files getting corrupted after a percent of memory being used,i came into conclusion that my memory itself is a fake one,cause the blue ones are the originals and a 64Mb blue one was there in my phone,when i bought it,but because of lack of memory i went to buy a 1Gb of that and unfortunately it was a fake one!!!
it was black with a golden color typed SONY and in red background (in small line)were written memory stick due pro.
finally with some experiments of writing Mb by Mb on it i understood it has just 438 Mb capacity !!!
it was a shock indeed!!! i mean after writing some data(even by a memory card reader device) more than 438 Mb it was making other previous files corrupted and wouldn't read those files any more,and with my phone after over flowing that 438 my phone crashed,hanged and i had to take out the battery!!!
down with china for making that fake stuffs...
it was so shock to bazar(market) of P990 which the price came from 750$ to 320$ in a sudden!!!
and that was just for that fake memos which no one didn't know the reason of crashing p990 are for that, not the phone itself...
so give me the right to say:
down with china...
down with china...down with china...........

          you dont need to download torch program for the LED to light up while using the video all you need to do is go to camera
          activate the flash
          press the capture button at the side halfway
          then press the camera icon on the lower left corner so it will switch to video
          release the capture button
          the LED flash will stay lit for video
          hope you enjoy your p990
          (for the light to be turn off do the proceedure again)

              if you are having multiple issue on the phone memory you can also try to tranfer files to memory card and try to buy a bigger memory card.. try 2GB of memory card i dont know if you can use 8GB on the P990i because my technical support friends say that the phone will freeze up every once in a while if you will do so..

                I'm loving this phone so much. Its very user friendly and much better than other symbian or winmo phones that I tried. Only weakness is the memory, witch can be partially solved with the use of swiss manager(I rarely reset my phone). Its very durable and mod friendly. I have modded the phone greatly (sound, camera, bigger virtual keypad etc.) and have many programs and games. Also have GDesk with fantastic Iphone theme. I like design better than the P1, but that is my opinion. I dont see any phone to change p990 with, so I stick with it as long as it works.

                  i have a P990i and its working great and for the poeple that is having a problem specially on phone re-setting by itself the biggest posibility is your phone internal memory is full check it by going to TOOLS - CONTROL PANNEL - DEVICE - MEMORY WIZARD - hit next - VIEW check which memory do you want to view and see for yourself.. if your phone memory is full transfer files to memory card or delete it to make some space for your phone because once phone memory is full your phone will really act up on you

                            P990i Is a very durable phone, i have been using it for 3 years. its still very durable, no technical issues till now, non whats so ever. Its a great touch screen phone, got a screen guard and still touch screen works like magic. The jog dial is very useful as i have lost my stylus.

                            No issues with the OS, Camera is good for snaps but not for video. Very good phone for Radio and speaker phone, sound quality amazing. Never has issues with Network coverage, GPS or GPRS. I have removed the flap as its easy to slide in the tight Jeans pocket, without the flap it still retains all its functionality.

                            Its little bulky and a bit thick, but that adds to its robust built, i have dropped it from a hight of 4 to 5 feet like 20 times, once fell down from my bike at speed of 30 kmph and fell on the side where i had tucked it in the pocket, it refused to die nor it developed any cracks on the body. Still works with no issues

                            Recently installed Gdesk 0.33 and i have my own Iphone like 3D flow on my P990i. In india 3G is still in infancy so dint get to use its 3G features, but Google maps and Opera are so good to use on this phone.

                            I LOVE THIS PHONE, ITS JUST GREAT. I will use this phone as long as it is functional, no plans to replace it for a long time to come.

                                    i was a user of the P-series, from p800, p910 then p990 and bit of p1. P990 is the phone that i loved the moset because:
                                    - great screen
                                    - very tough and durable
                                    - high level of moddability
                                    - clearest 2mp camera
                                    - just remove the flip and it's the best
                                    looking qwerty out there
                                    - the keyboard is raised, and much easier
                                    to type on than, say e71.

                                    my gripes on this baby though are:
                                    - very thick!
                                    - web browser always crash and needed to
                                    manually configure settings for protected hotspots
                                    - no 3.5mm jack and always need an adapter that
                                    easily becomes loose
                                    - slow.
                                    - worse video recording performance (especially w/ 8gb cards, writing is very sloooooow, and leads to choppy vids)

                                    i just wish that SE improves this model w/ at least 500+mhz processor, 16:9 aspect ratio, 13mm max thickness, xenon flash, stereo speakers and 3.5'' jack

                                    i loved this phone but had to move on - i now have a china clone of e71 (model is w71, you can search it) that does wifi, analog tv, radio, 1.3mpx cam w/ flash, 8gb mem card, dual sim, 10mm thick and very durable too!

                                      mabazzae@yahoo.com, 21 Jan 2010great choice, if you're still thinking about getting yourse... morethis set is perfect except for the wifi 802.11 b only not g.and the camera resolution is a bit low 2MP only.
                                      everything else is OK except for the GPS.

                                      IT is half the price of 5800 xpress music

                                        great choice, if you're still thinking about getting yourself this baby. I advice you to read some reviews, (of P990 and the other models you have in mind)and try to figure out which model fits you and your needs.
