Congrats Bro, I'm own a P990i, I still have my P900i with me. Well, my firmware is the same as yours but then, I'm not to happy with the phone, it's still slow and sluggish if compared to my P900i and that's even through even I left the internal phone memory untouch. Signal strength is like my P900i, it's poorer, my K800i registered 3-4 bars, my P990i registered around 2 bars.
To all bros,
Im a newbie here. Just got my P990i Set Two Weeks ago. Upgraded from a P910i and P900i. So I can give some comparisions here.
I got myself a Singapore Generic set because the price of the Ori Set from S.E was way too expensive. Previous two sets were ori sets but this time, the price difference of about RM750 was too much already.
I upgraded to the latest firmware from the Official Online S.E Update Centre. No probs for me. Flash the Updated the software to CXC 162037 R9EA001. So far so good. Lesser restarts and probs. The phone runs much faster already. U must always try to free up memory by using the task manager and close applications that you are not using. I also free up some internal memory by deleting the demos in the phone.
One of the downsides of the phone is that the internal memory seems to be smaller than of the P910i. Could someone explain the reason for this? Also the sound quality from the P990i is somehow poorer than the P910 though it has polyphonic capabilities.
One the bright side, the the bright side is that the Camera is much better compared to the P910i. I also love the WIFI function. The battery comsuption is as usual, just like its predecessors....could only last a day.
The display is much better. At first didnt like the way the phone functions, but after some getting used to, it seems more efficient than the P910.
Overall, I think the phone is great. Definite a worthy phone to buy. Dont say Im biased though Im a P Series Die Hard Fan. I think the phone just needs some more time to develope.
One Question though to all Sifus here, Im Using Celcom 3G. The thing I noticed is Signal Strength on my phone seems weaker than other phones like the K700i. When they have 5 Bars of line, sometimes I will only have 4 bars. Does the P990i have weaker signal strength or does the phone have problem? Anybody faced this problem before? Im geting worried bout this.
Also my Area Information on Channel 50 dont seem to work anymore. It used to work before I flashed to the new firmware. Anyone could answer my these two questions.
Thank You.
