@Afristar

I couldn't agree with you more this phone has been delayed long enough

Good day,

Here is the reply I've recieved from Midrand

Is there any further news on the SE P990i

Not yet. Product is approval and delivery is on allocation from the factory. No confirmed shipping date as yet.

I think I share the frustration everyone else feels... I have been waiting for months for this phone! :(

So now that the release date is so much later than planned are there any upgrades to the initial SPEC?

For example the std at the moment for Camera's would be 3 megapixel... and the 990 is still 2 MP... Does anyone know if there is any upgrade on the cards?

I guess we just have to hurry up and wait....

Well the phone has been released overseas. And according to the reviews the specs are with 2mp. If only we had the pleasure of actually having one in our hands, the 2mp camera is a small issue for me.

MTNDD , Its been over 2 weeks since you made the post that the P990 has been aproved. And you guys still dont even have an ETA of when the phones are coming into SA? Its not a very good prospect. After waiting since May for this phone, I think its time to start looking elsewhere, cause this is just not worth the wait i think any more.
Cheers SE. Thanks to you excellent communication skills, you might just have lost a loyal customer.
 
Well said.

Why can no-one commit to a release date for a phone that is apparently sitting in the warehouses just waiting to be shipped ?

This has been the poorest show ever for a "flagship" product.

What's going on ?

im busy with the midrand warehouse manager now, will let you know once i get some conclusive findings.
 
Well Guys,

I have been a loyal customer of SE for some years now starting with the P800 then the P900, P910i and now was looking forward to adding the newest and "greatest" to my collection...

HOWEVER... After waiting pretty much the whole year for the 990i I too am becoming rather concerned at the Severe LACK in the communication department... Not withstanding the fact that they actually haven't released the phone in SA yet...

So we ask ourselves the question... Do we or don't we move over to IMATE??? That is the question... Hmmmm...
To be honest, I still don't know...

If anyone has any suggestions I am becoming more open minded as each day goes by with no release date...

hi there

just got a reply that they hoping to get some late in October- light at the end of the tunnel! :D
 
GGGHHHAAAA
Thats no light. I phoned SE yesterday, he said for Vodacom it was end of next week or beginning of October. Couldnt give me an answer for MTN. Or that could just have be bs

** I am also starting to investigate the IMate. Nothing wrong with the KJAM. It doesnt have 3g, but it does have Edge. Now u should wonder if thats not maybe better , cause the P990 is either 3g or GPRS........
Its got wlan , and all then needed bells & whistles. And there is obviously no shortage of apps for Win mobile 5.0 whereas UIQ3 seems a bit short on apps.
Thats just my 2c

I couldn't have said it better myself. I was waiting for the P990i, but it seems to be a no show. The company doesn't seem to care too much about new potential clients and I think it is time for me to have a better look at the i-mate Jasjam when it arrives.

Hopefully Leaf will not have the same crappy attitude and will get their show together with regards the Jasjam...
 
LATE OCTOBER ??!![/B]

Up to now it was September, September..

getting so tired of all the endless bs we are being fed by both SE and the service providers...

Guys,

Not much more we can do than give you guys the info we get - Midrand are the guys that deal with the stock so they the only ones that can give us any feedback on handsets.

Snakepit will be going to a meeting with the guys from Midrand tomorrow and maybe after that he can provide a little bit more info on this

I've emailed him and asked him to please advise accordingly

Thanks MTNDD
 
If I were you I'd wait for the P990i. I have i-Mate Jasjar and it is only good for a brick at the moment. I use it as a door stop.:p Only kidding. It's nice to use for internet browsing but not as a phone. Reception is poor and the battery last for about 6 hours if you use it for browsing.

I had the K-Jam for 3days. Even worst. I had a P900 about 2 years ago. Never should've got rid of it. I think I will also look at the P990. I have a Sony Ericsson W810i at the moment. Although it is not the best I got respect for Sony Ericsson phones.
