Hi all
I know you are all very frustrated, tommorow (friday 21 june) we have a public holiday (midsummer) so I wont be able to get a hold of anyone. So you guys have to bear with me until next week. I will get an official explaniation that will consist of more than one sentence from the smartphone management team for you guys, you have my word on that one.
Have a great midsummer
/Johan

Guys, has one of the starters of the movement against this decision by SE, i must tell you that latest info seems to indicate the enormous pressure made by P990/M600/W950 users in several forums and blogs, specially the SE devs forum is starting to give some results, IMO:
According to Johan, admin of SE Devs Forum, next week we will have a full comunication by the SE smarthphones team regarding this situation (see above)
Lots of people have been calling SE in different countries, like Spain and the US, and they are been told nothing has been issued by SE HQ about stopping support for older UIQ3 phones
My inside source at SE Portugal, told me yesterday he was notified by email about the upcoming release of a new test fw for P990 (!)
Just to make things clear, all the info i gathered after Virgile from PSE (he is employee of SE France) started all this, confirmed the decision was made...but like many times with SE, things can change
Its up to the users to keep making their voices heard...i love my P990, i think it is right now a good device, but it still have things to correct/improve, new bugs were introduced in the last fw, and i think i still have the right to get more from it due to the number of months i had to wait for it to get acceptable stability and the price i payed for SE´s supposed flaship phone
If SE wants to be a real player on the smartphone arena, and make UIQ a valid platform, better start hearing the users
Here is the link to the topic at SE devs forum:

yeah, nice try. it took 2 years for SE to start listen to the users...and now we are supposed to be calmed by promises that won't arrive as they never did before. we can wait for days and weeks, but not months and years. we are using our phones every day and not sporadically just waiting for firmware updates and enhancements that don't really come.
so the only way to make them act actually is to...buy other products! this will hurt i suppose!

If SE is going to hear us let's make sure we have the right message.
With the current version R6, the P990 is pretty stable, so far I have not had a restart or kern-exec error but SMP running at level 3 reclaim is a necessity for stable operation.
Some of us are still complaining about unstable phones, I highly doubt it is due to R6. These complaints are individual problems and could be fixed with a format+master reset+reflash. If the problem is not widely acknowledged and the above process does not solve it, take it to a service center.
We should be very clear when we specify problems and the majority of users should be able to replicate them. If we start stating problems that most of us can't replicate SE will never consider them and the serious ones will not be addressed either.
Memory management is still a problem. I did a small test today: I turned off SMP, switched on FM radio and tried to start Opera mini. The OS immediately turned the FM radio off. With SMP running, both programs could run simultaneously.

I hope SE has listened to us as mentioned by ares and improve our P990i to a satisfactory level. If not, we should take action, not limited to threatening, by boycotting all SE products.

This is truly truly unbelievable... I am hoping the powers that be will seriously reconsider this..
Just when I am starting to enjoy some of the basic functions.... I cannot believe this..
There must be something we as consumers can do... these types of injustice and bullying -- yes I consider SE a big bully, just cannot go on! @#$%!!
