I'll be selling the P990 when I get back to London in a couple of weeks as I have now had my VAt refund form stamped so I can reduce my loss by about £80 fortunately. Glad to see the back of it to be honest!

even if we forget the TyTN... if I had to choose between P990 and M600 I would still prefer my trusty M600 and live without the wifi in a handset
so the P990 is definitly out the door when I get back!

the issue with the P990 is not stability as that can be addressed and SE have a good track record in that. The main problem I see is the lack of RAM. The P990 needs about another 5MB of RAM and also needs memory leaks to be sorted. I did choose the P990 over the TyTN as I prefer the form factor and ergonomics of the P990 (and I also think it has better quality music reproduction and the actual cellphone radio is better).
Like masseur I also really like the M600 but the only reason I don't use that much is the lack of a camera - I had a car accident recently and I only had my M600 with me...

yeah, the lack of camera has never been an issue for me as I always have either the TyTN, or a K800 (or both) or my newest toy, the 7megapixel Sony T30

@jah
but dont you think the memory issue might get solved when more updates are launched....
i have not used the tytn till now and dont know how good it is...the earlier reviews showed it to be much better....

Nokia managed to find an extra 5MB of RAM for their N93 so perhaps there is some hope but the P990s 15MB of free RAM has been a known issue for many months and we've not seen change after two firmware upgrades

this ram issue , i know has been discussed so much , should be solved soon or else this handset which was hyped so much is going to be the biggest flop in mobile phone history...
if this issue continues there will be no takers for this handset..
i know people who are still looking to get a new p910i...

the problem is not the ram it's the os, wm5 which is MUCH HEAVIER has an average 30 mb free ram and if I close everything I can get it over 40,
there is definetley a memory leak (random restarts) and the software for uiq3 sucks so unless they do an overhaul it ain't going away, personally I think uiq2 was way better they should just rollback to that and enhance it or we'll be seeing uiq4 very soon

Although i'm now settled with the tytn, i took it on a climb in the lakes this weekend, the camera, even for a 2mp, is awful. Terrible definition on anything other than close-ups. Doesn't compare to the se 2mp cameras. Impossibly fiddly to use when you're holding on to rock!

I agree on that point, k750 cam is way better than tytn cam (tytn cam lacks the autofocus), but then again k750 cam is better than k800 cam too
