sorry, i have to reply to, instead of edit, my orignal post because i cant find the edit feature through my p990 browser.

just to clarify, i have experienced the static with the mediaplayer for both audio and video. i have also experienced the artificially low volume. both of these issues lead me to assess the p990 media features as failures. and, unfortunately for me, i bought this phone primarily for these features so i could avoid buying separate media player like the ipod. this is hugely disappointing. i intend on calling sonyericsson this weekend to inquire about their formal position on these issues. if they do not provide a solution i will need to figure out what to do next.

in addition to the failed mediaplayer i also experience choppy audio on a regular basis for phonecalls. this i have to investigate more but its not looking good right now. other than this, and the weak memory, i love this phone.

i cant believe im considering getting the iphone instead of dealing with this.

woe is me.

Alas, we are all in the same boat. Have you updated to the latest f/w? The crackle is a bit less annoying, but still there nonetheless.

But I'd say if you only require a multimedia phone, why burden yourself with the bulk of the p990? Perhaps a smaller walkman phone or the Nokia N91 might be a better choice for you.

As for me, there's something about the P990 I find irresistible

N.B. I'd be interested to see what SE tell you. People have attempted to complain about the issue, but SE's official position on this was: the crackle is too low to be considered abnormal. blech.

Hello! Anyone found the root of this issue, or resolved it? I have noticed that the crackling noise is apparent when the headphones are DIRECTLY connected to the p990, but when it is connected via the dock, there is nothing
