if i had another phone just any, i would have thrown my P990i to the garbage. I think the biggest mistake is that i sold my P910i, and bought that crap P990i with its crappy software. All it does is crashing and restarting. everyday i have to turn it on and off in order to make things work. Its slowest phone i have ever owned. I hope the next firmware will fix all that, because its very dissapointing.

R9 may have a chance for today since today is the start of the largest telecom event this year. The ITU Telelcom show in HK.

@siandy;
I used to have the chinese enabled sets and it gave me lots of problems till I decided to let it go (sold off).
Yesterday, after much searching I deceided to get back the P990i english language set only and updated the firmware to world generic 2, got R7 installed now.
Here is what i believe. The chinese enabled sets comes in dual language and that takes up more ROM and becomes very noticeable when using handwriting. The speed was so very lagging and often had to "restart to improve performance".
Hence, when I decided to get the P990i back, I made very sure I got myself the english sets only.
