Question of the Day: Which legendary musicians or bands have you seen live?
Sony Ericsson P990i
- Thread starter YelloFever
- Start date
Hey JoeyP990i
I'm afraid you don't have the latest firmware - here is the latest as it is on my phone:
Phone - CXC162037 - R9F011
Bluetooth - CXC162058 - R5A01
Organizer - CXC162036 - R5A17
CDA - CDA162007/2 - R5A01
The CDA is oddly different to yours - don't know why that is - could have something to do with branding - do you have a meerkat phone? If it's linked to that it could be the reason why your firmware is older than the rest.

Get rid of the meerkat!!
Quick!
Hi there KR. I'm sorry to dissappoint you but it looks like I'll be getting my N95 next week.
So I won't be going for the second best (P990i) anymore.

I only 'tuned' my radio stations and then never really used it, because you need to keep the earphones on all the time.
When I 'tuned' my radio stations again last night, I discovered the little speaker icon!
Before it had the icon when you adjusted the sound it would give you the option to transfer sound to speaker. Oh well good thing they have the icon there now.

phone going in 2moro for unbranding and software update... yippeee
That's good news, Joey.
The Vodafone software is not the P990i's best friend....

No, I'm not disappointed at all, Piesang! I'm actually relieved that you'll finally get sorted out, instead of creating new threads of the P990i vs N95, N95 launch date, etc. every two hours.
Only one thing left to say : N95 = no touchscreen & no keyboard. It's a gadget phone, not a business phone.

Yeah, I want to use it for a gadget phone. It's a toy for me. I'll keep using my i-Mate Jasjar for my business.

That's the nice thing about the P990i - it's both those phones, rolled into one.

Hahahaha. I didn't see a 5MP camera, HSDPA, GPS, Windows Mobile, etc..... when I looked at the specs of the P990i.

Don't get too excited about the 5 megapixels... it would seem nokio doesn't know too much about cameras, unlike Sony.
In some cases, the reviewer feels that the SonyEricsson K800i is still superior.

*Oh, and I doubt if I will ever buy a Windows mobile phone....

I've seen some nice pics taken with a N95. Carl Zeiss makes much better lenses than Sony. Why do you think Sony uses Carl Zeiss lenses in their cameras? 5MP compared to 2MP in the P990i, well.
Nokia has got a winner.

The gr8 thing about the N95's camera is that it is 5MP, however, the sad thing about it is the phone's speed. Similar to my old Nokia 6600 I had, where you would push the button to take the photo, and literally have to stand still for a few seconds to make sure you got the shot.
The nice thing about the P990i is, the phone's camera is more than adequate for random every day use, in fact it doesn't struggle much up against my digital cam, as I had to switch over to my P990i once in the past when I ran out of memory on my normal camera. The P990i is fast, records pictures very quickly, it's no big deal to take quick snap shots.
I heard a reviewer from the smart phone show once comment on how the N95 is indeed a jack of all trades, but sadly, a master of none. I do hope someone does an official shoot-out review between the P990i and the N95 soon!

I would like to see that review as well. And I would gladly apologise to all of you guys if I'm wrong.

That's the link to the review - I have to admit having watched the review a 2nd time over, I am a little more impressed with the phone than I was the first time. Admittedly it is feature-packed - but not entirely untouchable by the P990i.
However the main reason I got seriously put off the N95 (besides price probably) is the camera's slowness. Hope you enjoy the phone!
