If you get a VLIVE branded one, then forget it. I got one and took serious issue with Vodacom. Eventually they debranded it. Here are the negatives I found:

1) It was not as stable as my P910i, but this can be cured by later revisions of firmware.
2) The multi function button in the middle was a bit small for my fingers (I got bananas). When I try and push the center button to select, I invariably push one of the side navigation buttons as well. I don't have the same problem on my N95.
3) I struggled to get the Wireless LAN feature to work, and eventually gave up.

In my opinion SE took way too long to release the P990. By the time it hit the markets, its new and innovative features were already outdated.
