Yes, it supports 2 gb, but they want to extend it to 4 gb(this is a reason too for the delay), and yes, I also heard that UIQ (which is a totaly new Symbian) is the major responsable for the delay.
And one more "yes", I am romanian, but, there are some other Vlads too, around here, so, there are chanches to make confusions:).
ps:I am the one, who posted that link, and I want to give you another link:

Hey Guys I talked to SE Customer Support on phone and they said that UIQ is responsible for the delay of this product.
He said that it was almost done in dec 05 but UIQ OS had some conflicts with p990. Thus this product will be available in late march 06. There is no hope for this product to come before March 2006

thank you. it was the answer I had expected. still...good news. to sum up, the lack of a GPS receiver should not put us off when it comes to buying this phone.

Apparently, you can indeed install GPS software on the P990, but because there is no on-board GPS reciever in the P990, you'd also need to buy one of those (around £80GBP), and connect it to the phone via bluetooth to enable full functionality of the GPS software. Without the reciever there is nothing for the satellite to communicate with.
This info came from TomTom customer service as I also have recently acquired GPS software, and was looking at buying the P990 to run it through, but couldn't understand how a piece of software could turn the phone into a GPS reciever. Turns out it can't!
Hope this helps

TO VLAD. Are you Romanian? Pentru ca si eu sunt.:)Are you positive about the GPS? Because most sites I've scrolled over say that the only major drawback is the LACK of GPS compatibility. If it were so easy to fix, I don't think they would write it in the first place unde DISADVANTAGES. hmmm...what sort of bluetooth device? I would like to use the PHONE as a GPS navi system so as to be able to get rid of my old handheld GPS.

its a nice phone, but seeing te w810 to be quad band, and the p990 not being released,
will the p990i be upgraded to be quadband, and to have edge as well ( as also to be upgradeble to the faster umts the netherland is planning to roll out this year?

TO JOSUA. Any GPS with bluetooth can work with P990. You only have to buy software that is supports SmartPhones and it also can be found. One of the reasons why I buy this phone is that I will use GPS with it.

Hi guys!
Been using the P910i for well over a year now, was using the P900 before that. I'm glad SE went back to long metal keys defiately better than the regular black buttons. But gettin bored of using the same thing but cant find an alt to the new 990. I wish they could have made it smaller & improved upon the antena as too many calls are dropped!
Can any one suggest a good alternate to consider??
Cheers!

I would appreciate an answer from someone competent to give it. P990i lack GPS, which makes me think twice about buying it, since it is a very useful feature. Is it a matter of software or hardware? Can a GPS receiver be added, somehow? And can the necessary software be installed? Or is GPS for P990i simply out of the question? Thank you!
