Thank YOU for releasing that pic Gives me some hopes although I doubt I can afford it anytime soon.

Does anyone use an external GPS device with P990? Can anyone recommend one? :)

Not sure if I should make a separate topic as I'm fairly new to external GPS devices (and GPS itself), but is TomTom a good mapping software to use with P990?

Most importantly, does TomTom have Malaysian maps?

Ah that's seriously saddening. :( Just when I thought that I can do everything with my P990..

Quite stable, very few times hang which is a big improvement than previous firmware.

From personal experience, I too thought it's impossible to update firmware via SEUS after hearing people talk about it. Mine is an AP set, and I happen to successfully update mine to the latest firmware on Generic Singapore.

Yeah so far it's ok for me.. Only that if I want to use heavy progs like Web, progs may close by themselves. I always use Swiss Pro Manager to close progs..

So what's your decision? :)

How much is that wifi thingy? Where do we plug that device in for wifi?

That means we can't use our memory card when that thing is plugged in?

Hmm.. not that I will be using the memcard while using wifi. It does seem a bit of a hassle to have to bring an external device around. >_>

Sorry missed this. Glad to hear that - report back in when you buy your P990 so we can add you to the users list.

I dunno about you all, but the phone seems OK for me so far - just a bit annoyed that I can't surf image-intensive sites on the Web browser and had to install Opera Mini which seemed to have better er, webpage managing capabilities than the built-in Web app.

Anyhow, one IMPORTANT question:

I was on the phone with my friend when he asked for another friend's contact which is in my phone book. I asked him to wait for a while, but realised that I don't know how to get out of that phone menu on my phone and browse through the phonebook (if you get what I mean..).

There's only Hold, More, and End Call options. How on earth do I go back to the main menu while still on the phone with my friend?

That's odd, because under More, there's a whole list of options.. except for the option to go to the Phonebook. =.= I'm using P990i btw.

Hmm.. I've never used an SE phone before so I'm not really sure.. Guess when I get another phone call I'll test it out.

I don't think so - at least, I haven't really tried it.

Hmm I never really thought of that. Will check it out too. :D

Welcome! Another P990 user hehe.

Isn't this more likely because of the encoding of the Chinese characters on your mp3 itself before you transfer it to your phone?

Wah that's AP set right? Prices are getting cheaper and cheaper indeed.. mine was RM2.1k with worse package than yours a few months back.


So yours is English firmware or Singapore (Chinese)? Glad to hear the performance was good!

Depends on which particular version you're using, Generic World or Generic Singapore.
