Any of you guys experience dropped calls with R6 (perhaps after experiencing them with R5)?

So to sum things up, they have released firmware that is less functional than before, making the phone as crap as it has ever been then simply pulled support for it.
I'm never ever buying a SE product ever again and I hope you all feel the same way.

I have the lastest firmware installed and it is a step backwards. How on earth can a company like SE deliver a step down.
It has more bugs in it than before. SOme things are better but there are now a number of v anyoying bugs.
The phone display after a call remains on as if in a call.
The bookmarks are no longer sorted they way they were for web use. Why can't I have somehting simple like a home page.
I am glad there are other alternatives about to appear. I would be very relucant to buy another SE. I bought the first P800 which was another SE beta release aimed at trialing the market place. Fisher Price would have been proud. The P990 is a real disaster.

yes!!! I did it...downgraded from R6 to R5...good thing i have a spare credit from kulankendi...it was risky at first since if i mess things up, i need to buy another credit & it takes forever to get the credit i know...it was my last lucky credit...change it to PHilippines trade generic & when i booted up, it says i have R6 so i updated at SEUS (just once) and after the update, now i have R5...
i know i'm going to miss few features of R6 (clear pic thumbnails & few little things only) but it's important for me to have that email bug removed...hopefully if they will continue releasing updates then i will update my fone again after all the reviews...hehehe...good luck to us

Strange, my R6 seems to be getting better with time, I used the phone for a bout 5 days having around 11.7mb RAM left (SMP L3), then I accidentally restarted my phone and got 17.1mb at startup. With normal useage, I had 14.1mb (SMP L2) after 1.5 days which I never got before. Dunno how some could only get 14.9mb at startup and go as low as 5mb on the 2nd day. I have to say on mine, it is rock solid so far in terms of stability-but I'm afraid I can't say the same bug-wise

Just restarted my P990i (SMP L2) and got 14.6MB free memory wich is more or less the same I used to have with R5 firmware.
However, free memory seems to decrease faster with the R6 firmware. I have the following programs installed:
- SMP
- Profimail
- Handy Safe
- CellPhone Space

I've had more problems with R6 then I did with R4. It's made the phone worse for me. I couldn't access my messages at all last night. It would give me the WSOD. In the end I managed to get in and deleted all my sent messages which seemed to do the trick. If the number is the problem they should impose a limit or give youa warning to delete some when memory is short.
