Just me being curious ,ive seen a lot of ex P900/10 owners bad mouth the p990 .ive also seen a lot praise it with reservations regarding future updates.My question would be what do u think of the P990 as compared to the p900/10 models ,is it a fitting successor to these models?And in your experience does it compare favourably to other current smartphones if its bugs were ironed out despite the delays?

P990 has never ever met my expectations. Not even when it was announced. It was low on specs and was not overall as sexy as my P910. My main concern is not its bugs or slow speed, its the sound quality and volume that disappoints me the most (Its nowhere near P910).

Subject to fixes for memory leaks I am very impressed with the P990. I bought a newish P910 recently (gave my original to a friend who was going through a divorce, it cheered him up!) to compare. The P990 is not just on a connectivity basis in a different league but the screen, graphics and hardware quality are just superb when compared to the P910. And the P910 is not quicker, it suffers from pauses and delays. The problem is the P990 can do so much that if you try to run all the power apps together eventually it runs out off RAM. Also if you think that the p910 is a P800 after 3 years of development then the P990 is not bad - but it does show that the P1000 will be the 'P910' of UIQ3/Symbian 9.

YES.
i think p990i bugs and problems have been highly hyped...
people need to understand it has low ram so it will take few seconds to load.
its very slow when u save a bluetooth transfer message when its a mp3 or any audio format or a small 3gp clip or any video format. | but m sure SE will come out with a update firmware and fix this problem
the main problem that everybody is facing is the restart and hangs | always close ur apps thorugh task manager always...or eles install swiss manager and check the option (close the flip and automatically the applications are closed by swiss manager) this is the thing which everybody needs to go thru otherwise p990i is a buggy phone...!!!
yes its not as smooth as p910i but try to deal with it.. iv been also doing this practice when i had p910i...i always use to close applications and..even in p910i iv faced big time problems but those bugs were never hyped but when it comes to p990i i dunno the problems are hyped a lot...
at times iv seen if somebody does a mistake and finds it as a bug.. the reaction is totally negative that it will be updated in the new firmware cmon first look what are you doing..!!
iv seen many people they juzz tab tab and tab.. and invites the bug..they cant wait a single second...!! p990i is like a pc and this pc is not fast enough...!!!
but if u see features wise its amazing !! i love the
camera(2mp and now u can hide alll the icons.. and shyts.. and juzz feel like u have an o2 xda)
rss feeds(love this new feature)
web (p910i web had disappointed me but p990i awsome !! all thanks to opera)
video(awsome.. video playback it gives i love it..infact its really great to watch a movie in p990i)
audio(disappointed with audio playback very less volume but its ok.. it hardly matters)
task manager(i use it everyday and as i said closing apps..so..its very imp feature for p990i)
follow up call(awsome feature when u reject a call it gives u an option of adding a task or no..i use it when m busy in tuts...i juzz click the no button and afta tutions i come out and task shows me at this time there was an incoming call)
messaging(amazing this time.. esaily could setup the gmail account and works like a charm, wat disappoints is the bluetooth messaging..takes lot of time to save)
calendar ( i wud say far better than p910i's calendar i remember i had to install a app something called birthday reminder or something but this time they have given the option as aniversary and also it shows u very systemticaly when u click on dat date it shows what reminders u have saved)
LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST
WIFI (ok its amazing works awsome ...iv been using wifi daily @ home and it works very nice...also iv tried outside...and ders no problems that i have faced)
CONCLUSION:
amazing phone with power packed features...but only one mistake is taking the phone to hell is the lower ram !!
SE YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT RAM IN UR NEXT P SERIES PHONE
cheers !!

i couldnt agree more! i love my p990 its everything i expected! My p910 used to crash and reset in order to improve performance everyday , it did it in the middle of phone calls and in my pocket doing nothing!My 990's done it 3 times in the last 2 weeks! Its not a big deal and im sure firmware updates will sort other "problems" out!
Too many people have jumped on the bandwagon to slag it off! I just hope people are not influeced by the more respected users opinions who slag this great phone off, and are put of buying one for themselves!

I'm pretty happy, bugs are there but nothing major as far as my device is concerned, future firmwares should hopefully clear those out as well.
It ain't over till the fat lady sings...........................

if the P990i was released in Q1 i think it would have been more impressive. when i first saw the P990i back in November i though wow now that i have 1 i expected alot more for my wait.
its definatly better than my old P910i but i think they could of done better. i wont be keeping mine long
