@Jah
I have not put any userdata on my phone, i hardly used it! No pix taken, surfing, sound recording... just a small 50 user phonebook was transferred.
Oh, when I tried the first time to pair my p910 to my p990 to transfer the p910 phonebook, the p910 screen went black when pairing was finished! seeminly it did receive something from the p990 it did not like. Had to power cycle the p910 to get it running again! Then it went fine.
Strange stuff man! If only I could upgrade to see if my issues are firmware or hardware related, then I can return the phone knowing it was hardware, otherwise I'll end up with the same issues as before with a new p990!

Tasks and Appointments in Activity Menu are overlapping, so it's impossible to read anything.
REM: The FW is recently updated and is up to date.

@ ronis -- I have experienced the same problem in the Activity application. Very annoying.
One other thing that isn't a bug, but just a quirk: Is it just me or is it slightly pointless to have the FM Radio as an option for the alarm clock? You would have to have the headset in your ears. It is a good option in theory, but only if the headset didn't need to be plugged in. Anyone agree?

you may have a faulty phone, many members here have transferred P910/P900 data to a P990. I still think it worth trying one more thing - do a back-up and then Format Internal Drive from the service menu ("jog dial up * jog dial down jog dial down * jog dial down *") and then restore. If after this your BT is still working then I think you should return your phone.
Format Internal Drive may work as it appears that UIQ builds-up cached data and this data can cause problems if ti becomes corrupt.

sorry...its like that in every single SE phone (and other brands)...you always need the antena, and so you have to connect the headset

but can't you have the radio come onto speakerphone as an alarm?
you'd obviously still need the antennae (headphones) plugged in.

It is automaticly sent to the speaker of the phone when the alarm is set to FM-radio.

I'm very concerned with the way how BT transferred files are being handle by the P990i. It is going to a temporary storage area where the end user has to click the Save or Delete tab instead of going to the Inbox.
I've transferred some video files(3 MB) to the P990i, what happens is that I have a BT list of files already transferred with the Save and Delete tab. The Busy tab comes out flickering constantly and it took about ten minutes per video file for the BT transferred file to appear in the Inbox.
Another thing is that there is no ringtone for files received by BT.
The P990i could not cope with the BT transferred video files saved to the Inbox and it does the usual reboot to improve it's performance.
The P990i has been targetted for the businessmen, it is not able to restart itself to phone mode when it reboots as the end user needs to press the "Phone on" for the P990i to be used.
How do you make the businessmen not miss an important call or sms if the P990i decides to reboot itself when it is in his/her pouch or bag ?
There is also no visual confirmation that it is even powered up as you only have a pitch black screen and need to press a button to know that it is.

Not sure has this been reported already, I am using MDS-60 which is supposed to be able to charge the phone while listening to FM or Music. However, even after 5 hrs of non stop playing and charging, the phone still hovers around 65%... I tried doing this overnite and still the same... how can this be?
Also, found another bug in the alarm...
1. Set Alarm with very very loud ringtone and set Alarm sound level to MAX, the same ringtone and Alarm sound level I uses on my P910i, to kick me out of bed every morning.
2. Charge the phone and playback FM/MP3 and turn multimedia volume to very soft mode during the nite while I sleep. The same way I did on my P910i for the past 2 years.
3. Time up for alarm to scream... BUT... instead of pausing the FM/MP3 and kicks in the very very loud ringtone, all the P990i's alarm does when there is music being played back is, a very very very soft... tee too tee... tee too tee... and that's it... I think it cannot even wake up a bird!!
If I go to back to Alarm sound setting and press on the "music" icon to test my chosen alarm tone, it will automatically pause the FM/MP3 music and scream out that ringtone, which is correct.
