I'm listening to the radio right now but a message popped up on the screen saying:
Interactive: Update successful!
What was that about?

solja786, if you want to update your firmware/changing cda, I suggest that you do it via laptop rather than pc unless you're using some sort of battery backup/UPS. In case of blackout, if the firmware is not already finished downloading, it will not harm your phone, but if the firmware is already fully downloaded, the uploading process to your phone will be taken over by battery. That means, if you're using pc and not having some sort of UPS when the blackout occured, you can damage your phone while the firmware is uploading to the phone.

@chrisnewman
IMO your decision should be based on the actual usage of the phone. You shouldnt bother about bugs on P990 because those are practically gone with the latest fw. Also if SE cant give more RAM on startup or fix memory leak problem then the next fw i.e. further suport is not needed.
So if you need a business smartphone with various text input etc. N95 would be a wrong choice. If you need a multimedia smartphone N95 would be a better choice and if you need both at the same time P990 would be for you.

That is why I mentioned the poor build quality of the N95.
I do not agree with @Koto, there are still bugs in the P990 that should not be on a professional phone and it seems the P1 has inherited most of them. I don't understand the logic of asking for more RAM at boot, the P990 has a fixed amount of RAM. I don't care if the boot memory is 14 MB or 18 MB as long as the memory management is reasonable to the extent Symbian 9.1 allows. More important to me are:
1- Edit before call in FC mode is fixed to work properly.
2- RDS functions properly
3- "Leave on server" function implemented in email.
4- Folder settings are not lost after connection to PC
5- Louder volume on stereo BT headphones (unless it's a hw limitation)
Apart from these my P990 is quite stable and usable and the current price is a good bargain - which makes me feel totally cheated by SE for being sold the P990 with the condition it was in with R3...

I'm not sure if it's always been there or if it's the new fw, but I just realized that I'd be better off staying in macro mode for any setting when taking pictures because the autofocus would function accurately and is significantly better even when taking pictures of the landscape. I would never change the setting to normal again because macro mode also functions perfectly on behalf of normal mode

@mode, what you are saying is very interesting. To be honest, I have never tried that, I'll test it tomorrow but somehow I'm very doubtful it will work for me.
Since R6, my P990 takes quite acceptable photos, both focus and color are pretty good, as long as the photos are taken in daylight. It's a total disaster in low light conditions, outdoors in the evening at a distance of about 2 meters and using the built in flash, the pictures I got were totally useless. I wouldn't hold this one against SE though, this is not a dedicated camera so there is only so much we should expect from it.
PS: What do you know...I just took 2 test pix in a dimly lit room, a distance of about about 2.5 m. The macro one's focus actually turned out to be better than the one in normal mode. Will test tomorrow in daylight.

I took 2 pictures of the same objects both in macro and normal more. I'll upload it on Monday so you can tell me it's any difference: I can't see any.

I just tried this, and viewed them on my PC. I must say that the pictures taken in macro mode of non macro subjects are significantly sharper!
N1, @mode!!
