Ares ,
I have had this firmware since 12 /12/2006 and have experienced none of the problems some of the other users have, for me it just increased speed of cold start to just over 22 seconds and now all apps open instantly as does the screen refresh when changing to to Laptop/Landscape mode, not forgetting over 22mb RAM with no major Ram leaks either. I haven't needed to reformat the drive and perform a master reset and download the firmware 6,7,8, times or more.
As i have said no device or manufacturer is perfect. Unfortunatley from the tone of he rest of the points raised i will now say goodbye. As obviously i must be confused SE release no phones with EROM problems so the phone just dies or has WSOD. The P990 is leading edge tech that was delivered out of the box fast and stable with no Kern exec errors constant rebooting to improve performance message. Crashes whilst attempting to do anything with Opera open, class leading push E-Mail delivery and stability, Alarms that can't be turned off and all the other many listed problems this device has allegedly had add this to the way these P990's have held thier value since launch truly amazing.
All these people obviously just don't know how to use it or what they are talking about. I mean really the "Your phone has restarted to improve performance" message alone on a phone is an all time Classic.. You believe whatever you wish and makes you happy irrespective of the facts. I will no longer post in any of your beloved SE threads as i may as well talk to a brick wall.
Marc

Yeah yeah, so your works fine, but you cant avoid us to see what happens with other users, much like what happens with uiq3 phones. I dont say SE is perfect, and that has done everything right with uiq3 phones,but your view on the subject is clearly unbalanced and hypocritical, like i just showed, again

This is your own conjecture which is not reality based. Most smartphone user prefer a keyboard to a TS. Look at how well RIM is doing with their BB. And the success of E61.
Quote:I BTW, none of what I said about video recording is incorrect. The 3GP recording on my K750 is just as good as the N70 (a little better in my view); I accept the N70 uses mp4 encoding, but it's still a crap sensor compared to K750, and still only 176x144 resolution.
Sorry to break your bubble but N70 record video in CIF (358X288) in mp4. I own a N70 and I can say the N70 video record beat the crap out of K750. You should check your fact first otherwise you do look silly with your assertion. All N-series video rec
quality beat all SE (incl. p990 and w900).
Quote:Anyway, regardless of which is "BEST", SE still make excellent camera phones.
No one is disputing SE makes excellent camphone this but that's all SE can make. In terms of the rest of technology SE is still behind.
Quote:Both Nokia and SE have quite good phones and to say things like "SE is well behind the curve and needs to pull it's socks up before it gets well and truly left behind IMO " is just complete and utter codswollop.
imo, it is not unreasonable or unfounded to say SE is behind the technology curve. You are only deceiving yourself by saying otherwise.
Fact: SE has launched one (overly expensive/buggy) phone with WIFI. Nokia have at the last count 15 phones with WIFI.
Fact: SE has no VGA/30fps video rec phone
Fact: SE has no GPS enabled phone.
Fact: SE has not announced >3Mp camphone
Fact: SE has not optical zoom camphone.
Fact: SE has no quad-band 3G phone.
Fact: SE has no hard-drive phone
Fact: SE is trailing behind in smartphone. Even Moto beat SE at its own game with non-TS UIQ3.
Fact: SE is proprietary. Other manufacturers have now use standard mini-USB port and standard phone jack on phone.
Fact: Other manufacturers have move on to 16mil color screen but not SE.
Quote:Isn't it funny how some Nokia people continually run down the P990 and any SE phone that has a firmware issue
I think it is more appropriate if we ask you SE people - why are you so defensive of SE when it is so obvious that P990 is a total fiasco. Most who got it have criticized/returned it. Many reviewers had done the same. Every manufacturer do have firmware problems but never to the extend the problem faced by p990 (even after so many updates). There is just no excuse in defending the P990. It is a dud and should not be released in the market in the first place.

Thats a funny way of getting your point across!
The way you list all those features, anyone would think you believed Sony Ericsson wasn't capable of implementing any of that technology - which surely even you believe isn't true.
Surely any company could release a device with any of the above technology and just because another OEM got there first does that make the rest inferior? How silly would it be for a company to release a device with a certain technology - 'just to prove that it can'. What a waste of money and resources. Why should Sony Ericsson rush out a phone just to compete with the big-boys; to gets its share of the column inches?
Take the Samsung 10MP Cameraphone - that was announced a few months back. Wouldn't a Samsung fanboy sound stupid if he used that a reason to do down Nokia - how childish does it sound?
I believe Sony Ericsson will come up with the goods in its own time and not rush out devices just because 'its scared of falling behind'.

IMO, SE should just stop with this "best camera" nonsense and make a decent phone. K750 and W880 have virtually the same interface and same OS. Nokia managed to update their OS from 6xxx series to N series.
Another serious BS in SE phones is that none of them offer EGDE and 3G at the same time. Someone please tell me the reason for this? I have both available in my area, why is SE forcing me to use one of them when nokia offers both in the same phone?
SE should also realise that WiFi exists, and its awsome.
They should know that no 3.5mm jack in a completely music biased phone(W950) is utter non sense aswell.
They should realise QCIF is not the video recording standard, especially when you have phones like N93 around.

A "fiasco" that together with the other UIQ3 phones has lead SE to a great increase in his market share of smartphones, has already discussed. A "fiasco" that is loved for alot of his users. Please do read the forum i just posted and you will find: memory problems, self reboot, etc etc WITH S60 V3 phones, even with recent firmwares...so what gives mib1800?? Who do you want to fool fanboy????

Did I say SE cannot implement that??
We are just saying SE is behind (slow if you will) at the moment and need to catch up. As the saying goes early bird gets the worm. SE can take its own sweet time with GPS phone. By that time, WM/S60 has gobbled up huge market share and there will be none left for SE.

If you start from zero and then you sell 10 smartphones - that's a 1000% increase. Go figure that out.

So who do you think you can fool by saying that p990 is not a problematic phone (to the point that it gives reasonable usability/stability), Mr SE mouthpiece?

Maybe you are right, but without any reliable source(s) and solid proof that can back up your statements your coments are pretty much nonsense.

The one that has gonne extreme and called the P990 a "fiasco" without anything real to prove it (like sales numbers), is you...i´m not saying the P990 is a sucess either, i had some problems initially, but seems to have sold rather well for a first gen UIQ3 device... What you wanted us to believe is that nothing of that happened to first gen s60 v3 devices...clearly a LIE

Great posts and obviously i agree with your objective analysis, but i really wouldn't bother debating with people that can no longer see the Wood for the trees it is pointless.
In thier eyes SE have done noting wrong at all in fact they are brilliant and love their customers and treat them with the utmost respect and give them value for money with the best devices in the universe and these poor deluded fools will not accept anything different. I only now bother answer to correct misleading statements or when it amuses me as can no longer give any credit or resemblance to reality to most of the posts.
I have got a good joke for you,
"Have you heard the one about the man that gives up on his P990 and when advised to get an E90 exclaims But no touchscreen only to be told don't worry about it you won't need one."
Oh no hang a minute that's not a that a joke but Michal @My Symbians advice for some one who had given up on his P990 eventually.
Ares,
Why do you constantly have to try and defend UIQ by saying look at S60 we are not discussing S60 we are trying to discuss UIQ! and if you added all the Nokia complaint threads together they wouldn't come close to the P990 threads.
@goldenface you say
" How silly would it be for a company to release a device with a certain technology - 'just to prove that it can'. What a waste of money and resources. Why should Sony Ericsson rush out a phone just to compete with the big-boys; to gets its share of the column inches?"
I don't know you tell me that's what they have done with the P990 isn't it?
Marc
