2xcheese; accepted the mms sending is better when you compare to 910i but not the "dumb" phones like W810 or W800i. With W800 or W810i, step 1, click pic, step 2 press send, step 3 choose receiver and step 4 press send. I guess its more or less same with 990 but more often than desired, it gets stuck in the outbox without you realising it and that also takes up internal memory, which is a real premium for 990i.
Like you wish for, hopes the next firmware (heard its R9) will improve its memory mgt. The 990i comes with 60mb internal memory but once switched on, its only 12-13 mb left for user, imagine 48mb taken up by system resources. I have no qualms with SE 990i but around this time last year everyone including myself were so excited with the launching of P990i and since then I for one been checking the net and tis forum DAILY for upcoming news. And after using it for 2 weeks it Shucks!!. Whats the point of all the functions and features when you cant fully use them as it auto-crashes on you. I installed Jabplite for my banking accounts but recalled i had to restart my input at least 5 times when memory runs out and it auto restart. Mind you I have no other application running at that time. The last straw was last saturday when I had so many issues to send one simple mms out and to top it of, the messaging crashed on me cos it was overloaded and even using the storage manager to clear the memory do not help at all. I had to re-install firmware.
You do know that the p900 did the same thing it too saved bluetooth beams in your inbox and saved mms messages in your sent items all taking up valuable internal memory !

That's why they released a swiss manager to make the p990i a stable phone. If you have a p990i try downloading it and install it on the p990i see the difference on using it.

I get your point
I think the only thing we should do now is to be patient and wait for the new FW , Patience is the greatest virtue on earth
Apart from some crashes and some kernel errors , my phone is running quite well these days. But I don't have too much applications installed like you guys.
One idea : Is it possible that your 3rd party applications make your phones freeze or crash ?

On my P990 I have about 45MB of memory for apps and user data - not sure why you think memory is a problem on the P990

In case you were swithering over the TyTn (or even the Nokia E70), AllAboutSymbian have a nice side-by-side comparison:

Yup @jah, would love to know how did you manage 45mb of free memory??? I even deleted the demo video hoping to get more memory. I did install swiss manager, thats the first app i put in but like someone pointed out, you need to constantly check and make sure SM is running. Besides after a while eventhough SM running and terminating apps on flip close, I still see some memory leak unless you reboot.
As for firmware, I dont believe the rumor of a release every 2 weeks although there will definately be one coming soon and still I reckon will not address all issues. Like I sigh... its been one year we ( at least I) was eagerly waiting for 990i and its such a disappointment. Its a good phone no doubt but the price factor and timing of its availability IMHO had killed it. The prices are dropping fast in this region. Personally I do believe a new successor or a new series will come pretty soon. There is a limited thing one can make good of a launched product and 990i will be 1 year old on 10 Oct 2006.

two types of memory:
1. Flash for user data and apps. Eg. emails & SMS. About 55MB from fresh start
2. RAM for running apps, about 16mb on re-boot

@ mlittle
the review on allaboutsymbian is not up to date. they mention only 15 fps on the video recording, while the P990i has a 30 fps recording capability. So I guess Mr. Steve Litchfield (review posted on Sept 28th !!!!) needs to do a better job reading teh specs?!

ok Jah, got it!? Can see it in storage manager, but that flash memory indicated there is not reliable. Although it shows 50% available, I could still not open basic apps like messaging when my inbox is full.
Thanks anyway. Shucks I forgot that i have ordered martin fields screen protector to my 990i, still not arrived yet but my 990i is gone. Threw a lot of good money on this SE "top of the line" phone!?
