Well, the first thing is to remove all the demo files and the golf game from the internal memory (they can be found in the ms duo) to gain 1mb of ram.

The second thing is to change the opera settings fro cache to large, preventing opera from crashing with the dreaded kernel error 0 (pops up lots of errors nonstop until the phone restarts), replacing the error with a simple application shutdown. This also improves opera's startup time from 20-25 seconds to 10-15 seconds.

If you have any more tips and tricks post them here.

Don't store your p990 in a tight fitting case (e.g. pouch) as this will casue the buttons to be depressed and even with keylock on the backlight for the keypad will switch-on and the screen will also switch-on to warn you that you need to unlock. Continuous depression of key pad buttons will keep the backlight and screen on therefore the battery will drain very quickly.

As with the M600, for some reason if you switch-off the Jot hand writiing recognition and only have the virtual keyboard selected the speed and snappiness of the user interface improves (flip open mode).

Remember to remove the word suggetion thing that pops up, that also increses the speed of the sections that use it (text imput etc).

Like the M600 for some reason if you Master Reset or re-flash then Opera starts within seconds and then over time it takes longer and longer upto 15 seconds. Try delete Private Data to see if that improves start-up speed. My Opera starts quickly as I only re-flashed two days ago.

Opera slows down over time due to, inter alia, use of password manager. Try to avoid using the manager is may advice.

Sorry, Johnex. I fail to understand how removing files from internal storage frees up RAM? Am I missing something you intended here?

Thanks and keep this thread alive.

While I haven't tried this on the P990i (as I don't own it yet), I find Opera Mini is much faster than the preinstalled Opera on my M600i. I highly recommend this for web browsing:
