Bookmark topic
With K750i I have experienced that SE's hardware revisions are not necessarily improvements, but may introduce limitations as well.
On R30A, which is the latest and available since Nov. 2006, they have replaced the camera with one, which does not allow zooming in the highest resolution.
2x at medium and max. (4x) only at the lowest resolution.
Luckily I was able to find one of the previous revision (R20B) and I'm still using it.
Now back to P990i:
R6A > R7A > R8A > R9A > R10A > R12A
Does anyone have any info on the changes made ?

Interesting, I have a R6A from SE in the USofA, originally purchased and with Generic World1 and with that phone I never actually experienced any of those hardware related problems that were invoked by the fw changes with many users here.
And a R8C from a Dealer which has Netherlands fw. So far no difference.

Ah! So my suspicion is founded, it's the hardware (aside from the fw of course) that's making everyone go crazy over the inconsistent behaviours. Mine's been working like a charm for me on R7A. The full line is DPY 101 1472/145 R7A EN, and yes you can find it at the back of your phone at the battery compartment beside your IMEI number as well as on the box itself

So how has your experience been with R9A? Do share, any signicficant problems that is unique from other users (ie. phone restarts to improve performance when getting calls, autofocus not working etc)?
