Will just have to wait and see, but just like everybody else I think that the release date for this device is set too late....

. I whould choose the p990i over the w900i because firstly of the software, second because of the lens cover

and third because of the touch-screen. This device just has absolutly everithing that one would need. Its outstanding but a shame that it programed to be released so late. VERY LATE!!! if u ask me.

If they'd have announced it at the start of March next year, and released it at the end of March, you wouldnt be saying that.
People just think a phone is old because when a company announces it early, it gives them too much time to think about the damn thing without owning it.

I think this phone is going to be a cracking phone one thing i would like 2 see on it is instead of 256k colour screen maybe the 16m colour screen as ive noticed on a few phones due to be released hav this. Would make a great phone even better!!!

Not only that,also only has the slow (old) wifi standard and even worse no EDGE ! If you don't want/don't have coveriege/too expensive 3G,one will have to resort to the old GPRS ! By next year even the slow Europeans will have EDGE.Also the speed will be a problem.The more modern Pda's use twice as fast cpu's !

Mario, nobody in europe cares about edge. Nobody, ok? It's 3G all the way here, there's not even a price difference, so why would we want to use edge? As for the wifi and the processor, they both strike the best balance of performance and power efficiency that people not only want but
need in a phone - the same principle that made the P800, P900, and P910 such a sucess before it. It's not about squaring up to modern PDA's on processor terms, it's about providing the same functionality in a more convenient, more pocketable, and more efficient way. And let's not forget that most of the speed advantage in PDA's is wasted on a bloatier OS anyway..

@ Boinng - ignore what mario says, he just comes here to fish for arguements, and really doesnt have anything worthwhile to add.
Why on earth he thinks us Europeans would want EDGE when we have UMTS is misguided. Maybe its Africa thats the slow country - e.g no UMTS.

Motorola had just completed many months in testing with HSDPA being UNDELIVERING on its speed promise to customers from wireless providers. UMTS on its own offers 100Kb/s higher download than a class 10 EDGE device; remember these are peak amounts. On average though EDGE is doing pretty well for us Canadians/Americans avg 80-170kb/s. Nothing to shake a stick at towards UMTS, but nothing to point a stinky finger to either.
Now there is barely even a latency or data improvement for comparable data cards between UMTS vs HSDPA at the current moment. I'm guessing its due to the user saturation at the moment; but not sure. However this is barely phase one. this will change with implementation of phase 2.
I've argued that EDGE has its place for QoS fallback should an HSDPA/UMTS network outtage fails >>for video calls most wouldnt notice a different, yet phone as a modem you'd know right away due to latency issue that EDGE has. 2 of France's networks are rolling out EDGE; but why? Its useless now as UMTS/HSDPA is in testing here in Canada and rolling out in the USA. Its already all over the world so why bother with EDGE??

Atlast the new SE smartphone, I've been waiting for this for long to replace my P910i
I love the specs. and are just as I thought but the thing that shattered my dream is its design.... that doesn't fit into a businessman image... I can say the most elegant design was P910 which seem the real businessman buddy and also loved my others because of it grace But with P990 SE really turn down the head, The biggest flaw according to me is its flip pad keys instead of going upward they landed on P900 keys... which I guess no one like they are too skinny to press and doesn't look good (I hate them!!) and the qwert keyboard it was great on other side of flip but now it is embded in phone which also not aprreciatable.
SE P990 lost the pride of its exclusive design by making it resembled to other PDA available which have almost same design except flip, which is now of NO use.
I'm really disappointed with its design more specifically the keys, keyboard position.
