But a P1000 would be awesome.

Wish I could agree but my P990 has felt like an older generation phone from the day i bought it, it's way too chunky.

1. There are no WM5 or Symbian devices with a similar spec to the P990 (remember it has a touch screen and FM radio as well as other Smartphone functions). For me it works well and I like it

2. There are some features it does not have, like EDGE, HSDPA and integrated GPS

3. I wouldn't care if SE bought a P1000 in 2 months, I would just buy it, well unless the Nokia 9500 successor was out and it had a touch screen .....

You are right about the 'older generation' the day it come out. Is funny to see how SE changed over the last few years, from a top class hi quality cell manufacturer to a money making one (or at least trying to make), just like the other cell companies. They concentrate at 'mass models' as Nokia used to do (and still does), and gives a damn about quality and customers. I remember the headlines when SE appeared on the scene 'Nokia watch out', 'Nokia gets real competition' etc, etc. and now . . . they are selling crap up and down the spectrum just like the others. They should immediately withdraw the P990, apologize to the world, invest in R&D and bring out a P1000 before Christmas - without any bugs and with the latest hi-tech as they have done in the ground braking P-series before this crap come out. Also that keypad should be only implemented on the flip and the screen made bigger !

I'm gonna praise the tytn, I know I know but it's just how good the device is, it has all the connections available and upcoming, and it was exactly what my 'idea' of the p990 was gonna be when it was announced, I even holded off and waited to get a p990 to try it before I bought the tytn, to me the tytn in a p990 design is the perfect phone (for now )

my complaints are the microsd 'currently max 2 gb' phones should have at least 4-8 gb storage by now, I had 2 gb last year in my k750, and lack of radio, but that I make up with mp3's and internet radio/tv on the tytn works like a charm, with wifi hotspots popping up all around it makes a difference, I also wanted an integrated gps but then that would kill the battery so I guess a bluetooth one in my car would be a much better alternative at the moment till they design more efficient batteries in the future.

In the past S.E. flagship phones always broke the barrier, they introduced bluetooth for instance, let's hope they get back to that tradition.

there is always a replacement thats for sure but not that soon and i dont think they will even announce it this year I mean why would they want to cut their sales on the phone I see no point in that the phone is great with lots of features and I don’t think after 10 months of hard work to get it to where it is now to kill it for a 3 month of sales my thoughts are that they will probably announce another one in Q2 2007 starts sales late Q3 early Q4 so u have one year from now to enjoy the p990
I've always felt that the z1010 was just an experiment by sony ericsson
I suggest that if u like the Pxxx and the p990 has everything u need then just go for it don’t wait too long

You don't half come out with some rubbish. SE is a business. As a business it is their goal to make money pure and simple. When they first started out both Ericsson and to an extent Sony were in trouble in the mobile market. Over the last few years they have turned things around brilliantly and are not only profitable, but produce a range of top quality phones.

Looking at SE's current line up most are higher end devices and their approch has always been quite simple - produce and sell higher end phones which make significantly more margin than Nokia can manage. The SE range is pretty clear with defined market segments rather than the sometimes bizarre scattergun approach Nokia seem to use.

I can't think of any other phone manufacturer who produce such a consistently high quality top end phone line up than SE themselves.

Can I have some of whatever you are smoking? That simply isn't going to happen.
Many of us with the P990i are very happy with it. I also think the consensus is that the keypad is much better on the phone than as on the flimsy flip like on the P910i. I'm also perfectly happy with the screen size thanks.

why as soon as a phone arrives which people have been waiting on for months on end, do threads like this get made which slates the phone and they talk about the next up and coming phone, which is going to be bigger and better...............the P990 has only been out a few days give it chance.

@sep990i Maybe it's because the p990i is an old phone already!which indeed it is, due to it's extremely postponed release.this is the reason i've retained my p910i.frankly, i wouldn't spend money on old rope.
