SE finally replied to my email, they said I might have to send my phone in
to have it "inspected". The problem is I'm in Poland and I'll probably have to
send it overseas so I'll be without it for a month O_o

I took my phone to the Orange salon to ask if they would fix it under warranty
but they said since I didn't have a sales receipt (or something) they weren't
going to touch it :-/

dont worry about the P1 users. P1 is not a P since it doesn't have a flip.

I took my phone to a third party repair shop, and they told me that if it was
a problem with the software they would fix it for "up to 15$," but if it was
hardware related it would cost "up to 50$."
What do you think is the probability that this is hardware related?

Upgraded my FW from R6A?? to R6D23 yesterday, as my P990 had started to die (lots of "WatcherMainThread closed Reason number 11" errors. not receiving calls or SMS's, one freeze) and was getting progressively worse.
Result:
Newly updated phone seems to be stable - EXCEPT the shortcut to the on-screen phone keypad (flip removed) does not work (used to be just holding down the space bar on the keypad) - instead phone keypad screen appears for a millisecond, beeps and reverts back to main home screen (with wallpaper).
Phone backup - (made before phone updated) restoring this corrupts the phone again (same "Reason number 11" errors)! Seems to be either the "3rd party apps" or the "settings" that carry the bug - "contacts", "media files" etc restored ok without tripping the phone.
Phone is *much* faster bringing up contacts, calendar etc, but only after the app is in memory (ever so slightly quicker maybe at launching apps 'cold'). Once in memory, very fast.
Have not installed 3rd party apps - I had major problems with some apps crashing my phone - mainly Advanced Call Manager and Bootman.
Question: does anyone have a fix for the shortcut key (to the phone screen) not working????
Regards

new firmware Organizer R6E28 released on SEUS today reportedly fixes "space-bar" bug.
Recommended to avoid "inheriting" problems:
Before flash, back up contacts + calendar from within the apps, save or copy other work to memory stick, format drive c: and do master reset. If you really need your messages, forward them somewhere.
After flash, ***DO NOT RESTORE SETTINGS OR PROGRAMS***, rebuild them from scratch. You may restore contacts, calendar and other data from stick.

Cheers Koolezt - I'd forgotten about the master reset (holding on/off button for more than 20 secs?) and formatting the drive.
Don't mind no having the golf game - more space!
