I have been using this phone over 6 months. Pros : Its a Smart phone. Its also a 3G phone -- 3G is one of the best technology for faster internet on phones. you can do video conferencing via phone( you see people while talking on phone). You can watch live streaming video with out wait. T-Mobile USA is going to launch 3G network capabilities in summer 2008 as per web sources. This phone has a 2MP camera, bluetooth, speakerphone, touchscreen, qwerty keyboard ( just like laptops)and it has a detachable key numeric keypad. It also has video player,reocorder, games. It has a cool feature- business card scanner. when you take picture of the business card, it automatically grabs the information from it and stores it in the phone book. It has many more features which take a day to write. speakerphone works great. reception (i.e. bars) are good. Cons : Didn't find cons much. sometimes ,i feel like programs take little longer to load. keypad buttons are slippery. Overall this is an highly advanced phone with LOADED FEATURES.Read full review
For a while I used just a regular cell phone. But recently I figured I'd move up with the times and get a smart phone, especially becuase I commute a lot on the train. With that being said i wanted A phone that also had a built in FM radio so i could stay up to date with traffic and weather, and not get bored of what was downloaded on my memory card. So this had that feature i liked, also with wifi meant i could check email and instant message and get up to date feeds that i could read while commuting as well. There are tons more features that work well as a smart phone, but my only dislike was that the phone's software seemed outdated and still lacked some features you would get on an actual pc like youtube or large images and its also slow between features, the processing speed wouldget some people frustrated. But forthe price of the phone, and the features packed inside, I'd say it still beats just listening to mp3's on a newer phone witout half the features.Read full review
this phone is actually pretty good. it is an old model though. but nevertheless its pretty high tech. this phone would probably be good for business people since it has all the applications needed. the phone can run several applications at once which can be a plus but this also makes it lag a little bit and it can eat up your battery if you forget to close them. the internet it great on the phone. its very fast. i LOVE the handwriting recognition. thats a really cool feature that i think they should include in more phones. i also like the fact that its an all in one kind of phone. it has touch screen, number pad and qwerty keyboard. and you also have the option to remove the number pad. the only downside about its qwerty keyboard is that the buttons are on the small side. so those with big fingers probably wont appreciate it as much. it was just right for me though since i have small hands. so i guess i can say that i really like this phone. the only cons are that it lags from time to time, its a little bulky, and its an old phone. if they came out with a newer version of this phone i would probably get it.Read full review
The P990i is quite business class, if you must say. The screen is not quite as vivid as most of the new cellular telephones out on the market now, but you will find an array of business class manageablitiy, fairly priced smart phone applications available, user friendly quick to learn interfaces and a very nice fairly loud, rich and full media player signed with sony's signature cell phone 2 megapixel digital camera autofocus they have recently released. upon use of the camera, found, the pictures it had taken were not too colorful and vivid either, maybe, the symbian operating system. cellular telephone cameras are not for full blown photography in the first place however, neither should they ever be on that mark, a camera is a camera. just for quick snapshots you are not able to whip out the camera in your case for. the calendar and the symbian's multi program running setup with the task manager was quite a snap to get used to, and the messaging, email, the keyboard come in very handy when you are not capable of getting used to typing in all out T9 and switching new words around every 2 seconds. it does however come with a fully equipped numeric keypad with T9 and a cellular phone menu in flip closed mode as well, with the keypad closed and keyboard covered, minus the settings menu. open the flip out keypad and you have a full out touchscreen keyboard smartphone interface. the camera very much works in touchscreen mode almost like the new touchscreen video camcorders out by Sony now and getting used to the touchscreen with your fingers is not hard at all. for those with larger fingers you may need those handy fingernails to use as a stylus! the screen is side to side, in full, spread, over the TFT and the sidewalls that cover and enclose the screen are slightly a hassle to get used to using with your fingernails as the scroll and menus may not be so easy to get to. it appears to be a TFT type screen made not recently but not right when they were improving the traansflective element to make screens brighter and more colorful. it is very nice for not distracting you from your nature walks, hikes or strolls through the art gallery! the cell phone takes away from the beauty of seeing the world for what it is, so instead of the P990i screaming "me! me! mine! now! look!" it will simply sit there and look like a piece of paper you can write on at any time you would like to input words. add those cool "non reflective" screen protectors in your accessories an "EXCELLENT BUT NOT WAAAY TOO MUCH" Sony Ericsson "smart"phone. = sunchild. =Read full review
This is truly an excellent and feature-packed handset. The 2M digital camera with digital zoom and flash and lens cover are a huge improvement over the old 600K version in the P800/P900/P910 series with no flash and no lens cover, but a little low compared to todays standards that can reach as high as 10M like the Samsung. The 802.11b wireless feature is really handy when near an AP, wifi spot, or for surfing from your home wireless router, but again slow when compared to many units today equipped with 802.11g wireless connectivity. The Sony MS Duo Pro card slot is also very handy, but a Sony M2 slot might have been better as the side-mounted cover gets very easily scratched from normal use. The keyboards, and screen size and just fine when compared to my old P910a. The whole menu system has changed dramatically from my old P910a, so it will take some time to get used to the new menu system nad how its organised. Copying over data from an older unit will take you through some hoops, but it can be done. The added functionality in this unit really makes it a nice change from an older unit, but quad band GSM coverage should have been included instead of tri-band coverage. Lastly the only issue I have are: 1. They changed the system connector. All my older cabnles, peripherals, etc, now are no longer useful, so I will need to buy new items, an added cost I hadn't considered. Extra power adapters, chargers, headsets, data cables, etc, all need to be replaced. 2. The case is still a metallic plastic which is easily scratched, like the P910a and P910i. They should have kept, or gone back to a more durable and busines-like style like the P900 which is more sratch-resistant, durable, and stylish. 3. The battery has changed from the P910 series. Hence extra batteries are also no longer useful and will need to be replaced. All in all this is an excellent unit and will make anyone happy if you can get it for a decent price, otherwise buy a Nokia N95, Sony Ericsson P1i, of HTC Touch variant with built-in wifi. Thank you.Read full review
