My apologies, just checked and both say "P990i" on mine as well. I must have remembered some other device, maybe my P900. Sorry, memory problems with age you know

@michael the mage, now you have opened old wounds that I was willing to forget
When I first got my P990, I had thought that the packaging was rather lame. Three years ago my P900 had in the box, a cleaning cloth and a good quality carrying case. The P990 packaging had none of those and even the manual looked like it had been printed in a hurry on a desktop printer. One can logically conclude that the P990 was released in a hurry before the fw was ready. Probably SE management saw all the P990 devices in stock on their computer screens and wondered why they weren't being sold. But why didn't anyone tell them that there is a software component as well and they shouldn't be selling half products?
They sold us a car without a steering wheel and are now telling us to get their new model (sweet isn't it,double the profit!) or just do with the plastic steering wheel adapter they have provided...
It's not over yet, I'm not letting them off the hook that easily.

I have DPY 101 1472/77 R8B PL and I have nothing but problems with
mine
The worst is that it stops receiving GSM network traffic and keeps
showing a full signal, so nobody can call me and I only get messages when
I reboot the phone. Thankfully, I know when it stops receiving (usually
within half an hour of starting up) because the keypad noise and power
button stop working at the same moment.
Here is my firmware (just updated):
Phone:
CXC 162037 R9G007
Bluetooth:
CXC162058 R5A01
Organizer:
CXC162036 R6D23
CDA:
CDA 162007/1 R6D23

Mine occaisionally locks up the way you're describing Gabriel, but the frequency is somewhat intermittent, and so it's hard to define a cause. I have noticed it's worse after running SEUS, but seems to improve after removing the battery for 10-15 minutes. I've also just put SMP's cleanup level up to 3, this seems to be helping but it's a little too early to tell.

@AD
Would you like to share your hw rev. and CDA/sw ver. with us? It would give us a more objective look at things

Hmm...this is getting more and more twisted. That's the exact same thing I have(or had rather) except that mine's WG2. I thought I had everything figured out. Don't you just hate not being on top of things? But at the moment I'll try to stay away from R8 for my replacement.

One advise I have for those having all kinds of 'phone hangs/is stuck, etc.' problems,
DO NOT REINSTALL or install Swiss Manager or SMPro !!! And go without this program for a while to see if all the current problems are still there or reappear.
When I had my first p990 with one of the first firmwares, SMP did indeed screw up my phone. Why and how I don't know. I only know that it did, by giving me a White Screen, Hanging during 'clean up in the background' and restarting when SMP closed programs.
Remember, this program takes an ACTIVE role in INTERFERRING with the phone's system!!!
So, if you have a faulty installation or a different version then SMP 151 or your hardware revision doesn't like SMP at all, then this can be one of the reasons you have a serious problem with your phone!
And really, since the last R9G/R6D update, if you just close a program via the built in Manager for a few days, then you don't miss SMP. BUT it can give an insight if that program is doing something not welcome by the phone
If not, then we move on to another step....

It's really difficult to make heads or tails out of this.
I have R8A and I am also running SMP 1.51 with level 3 reclaim. I haven't had any of the lock ups or restarts mentioned since R5. Before each update I format+master reset the P990 and restore only the unified inbox.
@GabrielG has R8B, so whatever the difference from R8A, I sure don't have any of those problems.
