It does... Trust me, its a very nice device.. The best screen and camera I've every used.. sad its smaller than the old P series devices but its 2.8 and equivilent to the current standard in most small form factor Windows Devices. Its really something everyone who likes Symbian and the old P series will be blown away by...
Like I said though, I just wanted to let those of you who aren't really phone saavy to understand that no one or company will have this device for commercial sale for a few months.. Don't get robbed..
Thats all..

Bengalboy wont give you a link to the HoFo site. Because of his bold reviews and views of fools making false claims and insults towards him and well insulting a former ... friend (not my place sorry)... he has a distaste. And rightfully so.
So many users there that claim they know PPC is because of Bengalboys many endeavors.
P800 >> months before any site had one for testing.
P900 >> same including Esato.
Motorola MPx (MPX300) >>Months before ANY OTHER SITE HAD NEWS OF IT OR FOR TESTING!!!!
Razr >> shite, almost one full year before initial public launch.
Hook ups ... he's got them all he IS the mobile P.I.M.P. that we all dream to be!
Truth no exaggerations.
Check his site.

Bengalboy!
You da PIMP player.... & I thought that the N80 was gonna be king.
Thinking of just a phone pad the N80 will have its merrits ... 802.11g; I'm hoping that the p990i will have that instead of just 802.11b.
but you kiddies that doubted the built-in keypad or even the lack of the 3-way scroll wheel (thinking it as a down grade from the P910's 5 way), the peep here.

a friend of mine got it for testing. He works for SE (I used to work for Ericsson for more than 5 years). Anyhow, I'm not quite sure that it would be ready for March 06.
The menus looks great, much more "alive" then the P910, the QWERTY is very very nice. Before I held it, just from looking at the pictures, I thought, YUCK... another TRIEO, but no! it's very comfy and readable, even in complete dark. (not like the P910).
The main issue is the new OS. It has a lot of bugs. Just to hive an example, I've tried 14 times to attach a document to an email... the phone simply died on me..
I do not beleive that between today and mid Jan 06 there will be any work done to fix the bugs. Oh yeah, Happy Holidays to all of us
so to cut it short, it looks and feels like a great phone but I doubt if it would be ready by March 06. Allthough SE surpirsed us before...
Happy new year !

Thanks for all the kind words Prom1 .... I have decided to do the full review by answering and adding questions regarding the P990 to the current "Pre-View" so the thread will be changing daily in response to questions and just me adding up the different areas I have reviewed.... Next thing I'm putting up is the "Business Card Scanner Application" .... the screen shots of the application and its process of taking a photo of a business card and scanning that into your "Contacts" data base on the P990i
A photo for you all.... the P990i is most attractive to me without the "Phone KeyPad"..... simply a very beautiful and elegant device... SE did a great job on design and materials....

Dude, Bengal, that Scan Business Card app is incredible! If thats a sign of prospective apps to come then I'd leave the Series60 camp in a heartbeat!
1 wish Persistent Storage/Memory support in Symbian would be a nice thing.
I'm on the fence of true usuability with the P990i's qwerty keypad to do the WiFi settings that have been updated on your site, and also between no WiFi 802.11g >> b is still much cheaper & faster than GPRS/3G but I'd like G as some networks that I could siphon off of while mobile could limit me from even connecting because I'm not 802.11g compatible.
If I can get through menus and skip entry fields and surf and download and make attachments without using the stylus than I'm coming back to the SE camp!
Thanks for the tutorial on keyboard removal, Bengal MANY MANY P910 faithfuls will appreciate it.

Heck just goto the site and enjoy; you might find more on that site you like besides cellular phones.

Hey Prom1,,,, Merry Christmas!! Well, my boggest complaint about Symbian UIQ was its lack of robustness compared to Windows Mobile... although the new 3.0 version is still being tweaked.... its obvious that it is gonna be more capable of running sophisticated code and produce some very nice eye candy for those apps...
I really am gonna have to classify it as still being out of the ball park when it comes to the power of mobile 2005 .... but only when using a device such as a Universal which has a processor capable of running Mobile 2005 properly.. The WiZard type devices are just frustrating when trying to run a sophisticated app such as Co-Piolt 6 on it... the only hardcore app currently available for Windows Mobile 2005 OS devices that I'm aware of on the market.
Truth is, for most users desiring a small form factor as well as the best camera/phone combination..superior construction and Entertainment Support (MP3 playback) with a fantastic phone... the P990i is gonna be a Huge Hot Hit!! Order it now!! I don't think any one especially SE Fans will be disappointed! I absolutely Love Mine!
As for Dave Evans, there is a ton of information on him in my Lounge if your interested in knowing about him.. but basically he is just a 60+ year-old man who proves that wisdom does not necessarily come with age... hehe...
