I also have the latest firmware and it crashes on me at least once a day. If the phone has to do too many things at once - too many phone calls, too many SMS it crashes. Its not really a business phone yet.

I am worried that Sony are working on a replacement handset and ignoring the current user base.

Afterall Prad have a cool phone the iPhone is due sooner and the P990 will look out dated very soon.

I really don;'t like being used as a guinea pig to beta test a major coproporations 'deisres' to make even more money.

The way twin SIMs work, if one SIM is active the other one is automatically deactivated. I don't think it's possible to have both SIMs active and receiving/making calls simultaneously. Maybe that's the reason why calls to your P990 don't come through?

@HjJ


Not being funny but i really don't think trying to run a twin Sim is doing you any favours and am pretty sure if you reverted to a single Sim at least some of your issues would be resolved.

Well, the way my twim SIM subscription works, both phones should ring and I can pick up the one closest to me. I can also call out from either phone at any one time, but not both at the same time. Text messaging is independent on the two phones. I have also tried another SIM from a different provider, with the same stability problems...

To prove my point: Every time the main phone rings and the P990i doesn't, I can't turn off my P990i because it is crashed.

@Hij,

OK sorry my apologies i thought you meant one of those twin Sim adapters not two Sims supplied from your Network, can't believe I'm actually trying to defend a P990 what a strange thing for an SE hater to do LOL.

I've had this problem with Vodafone off and on for years with a variety of phones. It just seems that sometimes SMS messages get stuck in the Vodafone system.

After my firmware update I noticed that all messages read/unread not bold. In the past I use to have bold for new messages and when it is opened it becomes unbold. How can I get this back again?

Thanks

It's sad to see that after all these updates , the phone is still struggling .
Meaning , this is still not a phone for business purpouses .

Having to do tricks to change the internal code of the phone itself to be able to update .. very sad .

Sony Ericsson has lost me and 7 other people of my company after having P800 , 900 , 910 phones which we were very happy with . SE did not take its responisibility and we had to sell our phones with a 50% loss each .
I've had the phone from 1st september 06 and up till now it's still worthless to me . Too many upgrades required , too many wipes of the phone , too slow OS and just too many things that don't work right .

We went Blackberry now . I personally took the BB8800 and using it up to it's full strength . Never had an error , never crashed , fast , reliable , just got released and doesn't need updates , yet it's still cheaper than a P990 . Needless to say I am very very happy with it .

Don't let anyone fool you , this P990 toy will only continue driving a lot of non fanboys away from the brand they liked so much in the past .

After this few 1000€ loss (699€ per phone! we sold for 350€ , no one wants to buy this otherwise . ) We are asking our lawyers now if there's something we can do . They've driven us that far , yes .
unbelievable .

Sometimes i beleave that it may be the case but if the messages only came out when i restart the phone then allmost for sure its phone fault. I hate when this happen cause sometimes i can miss important things or get delayed about something. The things i can not admit in phones are problems with sms and calls (and i had them both)... afterall they are the primary funccions of a cellphone isnt it? I dont give much importance if the phone want to restart if it goes out of memory or the camara get stuck sometimes but what piss me off is that the phone its too damn slow to restart. Even my nokia 5500 (wich is a Series60 3rd edition) can reboot in less than half time

I use the blue lines theme and I have noticed that since the update, when I dial numbers they now appear in dark blue rather than yellow, thus making them more difficult to see.

Why on earth would they even consider making such a change, I am going to hit my P990i with a hammer and buy something that is less functional but looks cool like the Nokia 8800 Sirocco.
