Small dilemna guys, hope you can help?!
Now that the P990 is stable and the bugs have been fixed - well, most of them it appears, do you reckon it is worthwhile getting it now or waiting for the P1? I currently have a P910 which is due for replacement after a long tour of duty.

Thanks for the advice man. And the stability issues people talk about? Have those truly been sorted out now?

if you need a better camera only then get the P1, rest the same as P990

I've found my P990 to be very stable since I upgraded it to the latest firmware using SEUS.
Personally, the only reason I'd wait for a P1 if I didn't have a P990 already is possibly because of the smaller form factor but having said that, I like bigger smartphones anyway. Less fiddly to use!

Couple of questions for y'all with regards the form factor:
1. How easy is it to use the P990 with a single hand - without the flip or with?
2. Can anyone who has used the M600 confirm how easy to get used to the keyboard is - especially to message with one hand for example? How would that compare with the P990?

I can answer number 1 for you...
I'm right-handed but I've found that using the phone with the left hand, it works really well. Your thumb switches very easily between the jogdial (scrollwheel, whatever!) and the keyboard making navigation and button pressing a breeze. Also, whilst the UIQ 3 interface takes some getting used to at first, it really does work much better in flip closed mode than UIQ 2 on the P910 did.
Similar situation with flip open / off but since the stylus is normally used extensively in this mode, one-handed operation is not really an issue. Again, the UIQ 3 interface works much better once you get used to it.
Just my opinion of course
