any info of the batt?
Read before release it should be same capacity as P910 (1200 mAh I think it is compared to N90 770 mAh), but in a smaller form factor.

well, but n70 has a major disadvantage: no wifi
It has one major advantage over the P990i; confirmed Bluetooth v2.0! faster data rate & multiple connections simultaneously.
Too many of you fans on the first 2 pages; every iteration of of Ericsson smartphones has been a considerable upgrade in more than 1 field. Since the R386 (?) the form function has been the same but the functionality has increased in more areas than one.
This is one of 2 phones in the world announced or production that fully charges via the USB port. BlackBerry and all major push email solutions support builtinto the OS!! This may even work with WiFi connections. Now remember surfing the internet over this connection along with seemless transfer of phone calls. VPN is a pure need for corporate mobile professionals - I can see Cisco & Avaya porting 1 number multiple locations apps for this mobile in a heart beat!
Man of you complained of the need for 2MP into this phone and its there. Take a good look of the press photos 5.5mm lens - thats HUGE quality photos compared to the size of lens on the famous mobile photo king k750i! imagine the prestine imaging in this mobile. Also 4GB MS Duo Pro by launch date - goodbye iPod Nano. I actually like this design just as much as the P910a.
Only 2 considerations which I'm already forgiving; 1) No EDGE/UMTS for us in North America. Not SE's fault its our laggard commoners that just want paygo phones for emergency highway usuage. 2) 850Mhz band for better call quality in remote areas or sublevel garages - that are still open air.
Good work SE; you've got 2 phones that have won me over from the Nokia darkside.
PS whomever mentioned getting a Nokia communicator - smack him silly. Nobody wants a crappy phone camera that long in their pocket. Most of the boys here dont even have members that long and something longer than theirs in their pocket just isnt right. besides this offers so much more functionality. For those long term users of p910/p800 dont jump ship. If you could live so long with those devices then you'll be in heaven with this model.

I have no idea what-so-ever whether this supports bluetooth v2 (though it'd be good if it did), however, the P910i supports multiple bluetooth connections with v1.2 so I've no doubt the P990i will do too! As for the faster connection - surely this would only be of major use if moving large volumes of data such as browsing the net...that's what the wi-fi's for!
Be nice though to have v2 bluetooth that supports stereo headsets and general audio (music) streaming etc.

it certainly misses the WOW factor as we all expected... that maybr because, we put our hopes too high, earlier,
used to put a leading product up, and then others follow suite, this time, there are phones that can be compared to p990, when p900 was released, there were no phones that can stand next to it... that is why we feel we are missing something special....

Well said Govi.
The reason I expected BT v2.0 is because of the bandwidth. v1.2 doesnt support multiple connections; I dont count having a static headset connected but not on a call and sending a photo from/to phone/pc. Multiple connections is having a voice call via BT while sending a file from PC to phone, and also bieng able to pair another phone all simultaneously. Furthermore it would guarantee us of stereo headsets. WiFi still isnt everywhere - at least here in Canada, even in a big metropolis like Toronto.
I still think this device offers more than meets the eye; and we'll all know when the phone actually launches. Others may want MS Mobile 5 - even me of a specific design - but nothing even compares of the elegance of this device or even has 2MP cam (not even the MS Mobile 5 flagship device like the JasJar). The only phone that comes close is the upcoming Nokia N91 with its built in HDD; but that can fail. HDD in mobile phones is unproven - and I'm worried about fragmentation. This is where the debut of 4GB MS Duo Pro will shine at launch of this device.

I'm not jumping ship... I'm just skipping this model. The keyboard placement really got me. It looks too much like a Treo... ugh. I wouldn't discourage anyone from getting this phone, it's got the best features in any single device out now... it just isn't for me, and I've stated my reasons already.
For UMTS services, I think I'll just get an SE GC85 card and pop it into my laptop.

Here go some shallow observations:
No BT light... Just one led on the upper right corner and I suspect that's for network. Damn I love the blue light on my P910!
And what the hell is with the weird 3G/GPRS icon? They put a G over the signal bars instead of the blue GPRS triangle or maybe instead the 3G icon. Not that the current SE 3G icon is spectacular, but that "G" is plain stupid and ugly.
