hehe, remember gentleman (and I dont use that sparingly), about what I said about Bengalboy getting the devices FIRST. And putting them through their paces and giving us first hand knowledge about them before others (including those that use it for 20mins tops at the CES type shows or announcements).
I remember Bengalboy had the Motorola MPx (yes the one that never made it to full production due to firmware issues, or contractual issues) BEFORE, sorry MONTHS before ANY tradeshow it ever appeared in in all the world. Dont believe me SEARCH the internet you'll find out; that is unless loosers that the site where he had 2000+ posts in less than 4 days, of questions asking anything under the sun.
Bengalboy, enjoys cellular convergence devices & cellphones just like the rest of us! He gets them, usually first, not only because he has the cash, but because by nature & profession HE CAN BE TRUSTED. A true man who's word is his bond, something very few immitations of men can attest to no-a-days.
@Bengal you point 2 above, was slightly off yet on. It seems that "tazmania" skimmed through your sites thread looking for what he was needing info on but missed the importance of the question he asked about WiFi and didnt realize what he was asking. I know you reside in the USA and I dont expect you to be able to test 3G as the band on the P990i is only for 2100Mhz Euro band, and NOT the 1900Mhz 3G that Cingular had rolled out. This doesnt make your review any less adequate. In fact it allows you to concentrate more on GPRS & WiFi abilities for those of use whom would rather use it.
@tazmania; you comment about the nationality of the women in the pictures posted on Bengalboys' site is nothing short of Racist! Plain and simple. If I was a Mod I'd give you a warning and a BAN of 24hrs for first offence! But I'm guessing the Mods didnt miss this, and allowed other like myself to infer or assume - just low enough to your level - that you must've been emotionally hurt, shamed, or just plainly dumped by a hot beautiful, possibly intelligent Russian women in your past so that we could laugh. Regardless of my race, I dont stand for any racism coming from NE1! I give a notice of how I dont appreciate it and I may not be alone in this regard. I can forgive, but when its there, its a long road to correction to get rid of it.
I suggest not listening to others pointing this out to you ... but watching the movie CRASH!
Sorry for off topic everyone. Bengalboy stated clearly that this was a PREVIEW on his sight. I believe his is the first to describe JUST how to remove the phone keypad, and screenshots of how WiFi is setup and works.
As I said before, gentleman, looks like for more information we must check daily on Bengalboys' site. Remember this thread was dead for 3+ weeks with very few posts asking mundane questions, with no concrete answers. Just remember Bengalboy has not 1 but 2 prototypes that actually work, so now we know how long & the care that SE takes in preparing their products before official launch.

Thought that I'd share a good place to pick up the P990, as I'm shopping for mine now. (Looks like the P990 is a worthy successor to the P910, although I suspect that the best look is as belgalboy has shared: topless.) I got my P910 a couple of years ago from MPTelecom.de, and they were one of the few that had the device available, they have the P990 available to order now at a reasonable price, and they are wonderfully customer-friendly (they assisted me in purchasing a Euro-spec P910 and ensured that I received my VAT back, since I was ordering outside fo the EU). I can strongly recommend them from what I've read (all positive) and my own experience.
Here's their P990 device page:

Ditto! We should all be grateful that bengelboy has taken the time to provide us with pictures and a review months before the phone is released.

Yep i must admit that is pretty cool.
Pictures speak louder than words, how tough is the screen compared to the p910i? and how good is the internet via wifi?
cheers

Not sure I understand your first question....but the downside of the new P990i is that it has a much smaller screen than the P800/900/910 and is approximately 2.8 inches which is the going screen size these days... However, the brightness and clarity is the best I've used outside of the W900i..... could be the same LCD... I'm pretty sure it is... The only device that is superior to the P990 is my Universal which has a 640 X 480 resolution and is of course..extremely sharp!! But the P990 is by far the best of the small Smartphone handsets I've used...including the WiZard, JAM, MPx, SamSung i730, and a few others.....
Smaller Screen..... than old Pseries phones..... Damn, I remember when the P800 at 4K colors was a Super impressive display..... how far the technology has come so quickly...
Internet via WiFi is Superb, the P990i's on-board browser has small page rendering and will browse in "Full Screen" as well as "Landscape"... Pages load very quickly and faster than the WiZard using IE ..... I believe that this browser is probably a development by Opera..... but I can't confirm it.. I tried loading the new Opera Browser on the P990i but it would not accept it and gave a "Non-Supported File Format" error...... The only criticism I have is the smaller screen for viewing the pages...but it is so bright...and clear.... and you can change the font size if needed... Of course, coming from a Universal, everything is gonna be alittle bit of a disappointment when web browsing or viewing email and video....
Compared to a WiZard while WiFi browsing in full screen.....
