whereas the TyTN, and to some extent the M600, are stable, reliable and usable NOW!
Which is what I say in the article I have provided a link to.

yes I know, ('coz I can read
)
but I wanted to emphasize it here... and I'm very annoyed with the P990 today given the problems I've had in just the last 2 hours...
The M600 was not good to start with but at least the first firmware update made a BIG difference. People really cannot be expected to pay this much for such an unreliable device.
The problem is that everyone was screaming for it and it just wasn't ready, and only time will tell if September network releases will (a) actually happen and b) be any more reliable
I now say unreservedly, if you don't need wifi or camera then get the M600 otherwise its gotta be the TyTN!

Fully agree and the M600 is 50% or less the price of the P990

I must admit that after the latest WWE FWU of the TyTN, the device has been totally stable. I share peoples frustrations aboutf the P990 but it can only get better..Problem is one always feels cheated if things do not work out of the box..

Ok, i've been over-excited about the next pxxx phone and have hung on, out of contract for the p990i, I've always been convinced that no other phone is about to come out that offers more. Now, after reading this thread I'm tempted to go right now to the Orange shop and pick up the Orange SPV31000 (their version of the tytn) for £100 as an upgrade on a new 12 month contract.
Is there anyone out there that thinks this is just me wanting a new device TODAY! or is this a wise choice? Will I regret it 3 months down the line when my mates have updated p990i's.
Usage for me centres around multimedia - I watch a lot of movies on my p910i and use it as my personal stereo with a 2GB stick. I do occasionally use the office applications but if the device handled this better I would probably use them more.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated . . . .
Matt
Oh, and what's the handwriting recognition like on the tytn? I LOVE it on the p910i?

Matt69 you are much like me in your usage and in my opinion the M3100 is the only way for you to go. I watch a lot of movies on my P910 but we have Smartmovie player which is not as good as TCPMP. Even the beta version of TCPMP on the P910 plays better never mind the WM5 version on a 400Mhz processor.
I have posted a question on their forum as to whether Core plan to release TCPMP for UIQ3... waiting for a reply. But the simple fact that I have to ask should lead you to go down the M3100 route. If you're watching movies I believe you can't beat TCPMP. Get more verification from Masseur as I now he's a TCPMP user.
As to mp3's the consensus I get is that the P990 is very good (better) at this but I wonder how bad can the TyTN be with good 3rd party software.

Many Thanks, Wam7, an unbiased opinion much appreciated. The excitement was just too much - I've just got back from the Orange shop with my sleek, black spv3100. I have 14 days to make up my mind, the only things that could possibly sway me back to the p990 is if the tytn's playback speaker, mp3 software and HW recognition is pants.
Goddamn this initial charge business!! I want to play!

personally i would have got the TyTn on Tmobile rather than renewing your orange contract. Mainly because W'n'W walk is simply fantastic value that will allow you to get the most out of the device.

Personally I don't think any mobile OS has been really targetted or will for the immediate future.
For a start both Symbian (with Symbian Signed) and Windows Mobile software cannot install itself without the users consent or interaction, and secondly there is no obvious way of the virus transmitting itself between devices to spread.
@SL33PYH34D: Thanks for the response. What about virus infested email being received on the P990? Will viruses not spread that way, especially if using push email? (Suppose it will be down to the server catching the virus or am I missing something)

@Ctrl+A
if your app is not Symbian Signed then it can't get access to any important APIs therefore cannot do much damage...in theory
