Think this phone would be a good jump from a P900 but from my P910 it's disappointing. I only got it for the 3G and it was free so I can't complain.
It's a VF P990 and has:
Phone: CXC 162037 R5A006
Organizer: CXC 162036 R3A04
CDA: CDA162008/91 R2A04 [this is repeated for some reason]
A few of my miseries are:
What has SE done with the clock screensaver!
Finding my Handy Day calandar is a challenge. It isn't the 1st page on opening the flip like in the 910. I have to hunt through menus.
In flip closed the icons are present and I don't have the option to have them appear when I touch the jog dial.
I can't access the clock with one tap and it is jolly hard to put speaker phone on when you are on a call.
I'm also finding the calendar crahses.
When is the next phone coming out!!!
Thanks to anyone who can give me advice, tricks or tips.
All the best everyone,
Thank you.

Use SEUS to update to the newest firmware. I did it last night and the phone just feels so much nicer. Some good things have changed too

Latest is R3B01 -- and this is the organiser version. Use that one since it describes the correct software.

Hi,
Thanks to you all for your help though I am now well confused!
I have a vodaphone P990i and my operating system again is:
Phone: CXC 162037 R5A006
Organizer: CXC 162036 R3A04
CDA: CDA162008/91 R2A04 [this is repeated for some reason]
Would really appreciate help.
I did try to go to the SEUS to check this out a few days ago but the 1st page kept re-loading.
Love to hear from someone what to do or if I have the latest FW.
Thanks a lot,
Amanda
