When sending a photo via MMS the P1i does not automatically re-size the photo. In the settings "creation-mode" seems to be greyed out and I can not change that.

Any advice please? Thanks!

I read that large emails caused the email application to shut down with the P990 but never experienced it. I thought it wasn't an issue for me as the keyboard on any phone is just too small to write anything too lengthy. However, this morning I wrote my first email on my P1 and the app shut down (Reason code: CTextLayout usin Reason number:8 ). I was forwarding a short email and writing a short message when it happened. When I tried again, the same thing happened at exactly the same point in my message. My message has 29 words (plus signature box and the relatively short original message). I tried saving the message to the outbox and then reopening it to continue but my first input would shut the app down again. I sent the message off as I had virtually finished my email anyway but thought I would try forwarding the email from the Sent box. Interestingly, I could add as much text as I wanted without causing any shutdown but as soon as I tried to add more text to the original sent item, the app would shut down again. It would seem the problem is not a question of length but one of layout as suggested by the reason code (CTextLayout).

I'm going on holiday on Friday and was hoping to rely solely on the P1 but it now looks as though I'll have to bring along my M600 (and I never thought I would say this, my P990 as well!). I hope my experience was just a one-off for such a short email as I never had it with the previous phones. The SE helpline suggested I write the email in the Notes application and then cut and paste it into the email. Haven't tried that yet.

It's a very well known problem for the P990 users and one that SE is aware of. It seems that SE didn't put too much effort into P1 to try to solve known problems.

This problem is fixed for the P990 in fw R6E28 released on Aug. 1. I'm assuming the first fw update for the P1 will also fix this.
As for SE's advice to use Notes application, doesn't work. Notes and email applications are both affected by the CText error. You can try Quick Word but don't edit within email after pasting, just send it.

Thanks for the tips, Makbil. Totally agree with you when you say the P990 is "A mistake and a curse". I would add that it is a disgrace as well.

Thanks, very kind of you.
But I really don't manage to delete the MMS ap as you suggest. Could you perhaps point me in the right direction to do that? Thanks a million!

I think he meant to delete the MMS settings and request new settings from your operator, not the application - you can also do it from SE web page.

Thanks Makbil. I will try deleting the MMS settings manually. My phone is unbranded, but I don't think it will solve the greyed-out creation mode thing. Thanks anyhow!
