Same thing happened to me once in past 5 weeks . My battery lasts normal however one time the same happened to me and I don't know why.
It may sound like a battery problem but I'm still not sure why ?

Same thing was happening to me, then I realized that I always had WLAN enabled. WLAN would be up and running when I'm at home but I would use my computer instead. So now I keep WLAN disabled until I need it and now my battery will last through the day with no problem.
Has anyone had a problem recieving SMS?
I am not receiving messages as usual. I can send a message, and a person will reply but I will not always get the reply. Take today for instance, I was bored in class and just turned the phone off and had no messages in my inbox. When I turned it back on, I had quite a few SMS in my inbox, some from today, some from 2 days ago. I thought it was a network problem but no one else using T-Mobile US seemed to have the problem. Any suggestions? I have the latest software but am going to reinstall it anyway.

actually I think this is a phone problem, cause the same thing has happened to me a couple of times, and a restart should fi the problem. I never had this issue on any other phone, so I think it may be a bug. Even though my P990 has been pretty stable, this was the most annoying bug to me, it has only happened twice in a month.

I am 99% sure its the phone. (I know I know, that leaves 1%). Before I updated the software today I had an application failure, "SMSwatchermain" I think that was the name of it, I didn't write it down. Anyway, powered down, and back up. Called a friend and told her to send me a message. She sent the message not even a minute later, and the phone just started vibrating, no sms alert, no icon, nothing. It vibrated for about 20 seconds and quit. About an hour later, the unread sms icon was on the status bar. I have since updated my software and everything seems to be back to normal...or so i hope!

SE P990i web browser is the worst web browser of all new smart phone I think, therefore is there any other web browser available in the market for SE P990i.

I think the best would be you notice the sms receiving time and date. By looking at the message receiving time you can easily guess what is causing the delay.

Try to download the opera mini.http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/operamini/phones/?phone=sonyericsson_p990i.
But i don't think if you can surf the net in landscape mode. My browser seems to be ok that came with the p990i

I haven't update my vodafone p990 since i bought it. Not out of choice, simply because it won't update on seus. I can't explain it but (touch wood) for the passed 2 weeks i've had no problems with the unit and i'm getting around 2 days standby including about 1-2 hours of talk time and about 4 hours of mp3 listening time. I'm pretty sure that the battery life seems to be improving with time.
When I bought my k800 the lady at the t-mobile store said to fully charge it for 16hrs and then use it till it dies and then recharge till full and repeat around 3 times. I did the same with the p990's battery.
They both use the same battery so i can interchange without 2 much fuss.
But the cool thing is that when I put the v800 battery in the p990 the performance was around 70%. So for those with battery issues I'd try the whole charge-drain conditioning.
So far as system stability goes I've had no problems so long as I don't have more than 5 apps running at once. I'm pretty sure it's just the number and not type. Because I was using the in built browser over wifi and rss feed, the mp3 player, pdf viewer and messaging without any problems. Not my usual demands because i tend to average around 3 apps whilst in usage.
I do tap the bottom right corner and bring up task manager to close the programs once i'm done with them though so maybe that's a factor.
Those that have one, i'd seriously reccomend marti fields screen protector.
I use mine flip removed and have no worries about scratching it. I use my fingers instead of stylus, well more like the stub of a nail. But the screen protector does it's job.
Doing a master reset on the unit initially, helps I've found. Especially if you install your programs to memory card as oppose to the phone storage. 4gb high speed ms duo pro seems to cause problems during video playback but am unsure as to what that attributes to. So I leave it for the camera and am happy with 512mb msdp for the time being.
I am a business user but comparitively probably not a very heavy user. Though (from experience) SE's customer support kinda sucks regarding this phone atm I'd anticipate it will improve greatly once things like vista are released. Simply because I've been told they're working for alot of 64bit stuff and it's playing hell with all their deadlines.
After all that I wouldn't like to declare that i'm overly impressed by the unit. But IMHO there is nothing quite as fitting in the market or near realease as the p990. So LG/Samsung if you guys glance forums and catch this; please release an alternative for us.
