To all the P990 taikos here, how is the WIFI connection function in your P990i? From what I understand P990i comes with 802.11b, which the cover range is very poor from my experience on my PSP. I installed my Router at the ground floor back room and when I get up to the master bedroom the signal is so poor. Some advices please as I am about to get myself a P990i soon. Many Thanks

Well, if I'm not mistaken, signal strength is poor is your router is downstairs and you're upstairs, I'm using Belkin router, signal is slightly better but not impressive. At least, it was better than my Prolink.  doh.gif  Try getting a 5dbi gain antenna for your router, that should extend the range a little and improve your Wi-Fi signal strength.  smile.gif

Thanks for the advice bro, but by adding the gain antenna? Will the internet speed decrease ?

I've tried my 802.11b laptop and it works fine, just wondering if the P990i WIFI function is the same as PSP, because is from SONY ... if it's so, hmmmm rclxub.gif

Just called Clareen, according to her Malaysia will ban AP set starting 1st of April, which means those company that offer AP warranty will be forced to close door, leads to anything happens to AP set HP, "eat ourself"

Dunno how true is this, can someone confirm this?

yup. i think because of demand. u guys can go the handphone & accessories garage sales & check it out. one M600i sold for RM500 & a black one is RM700. another white one selling for RM900 but no one buying. P990i is at least RM14xx for a used set, based on my observation all these while.

many ppl prefer phones with camera. no one wanna get a touchscreen & QWERTY + Symbian phone unless they really need it. i guess P700 is gonna selling better than M600i.

New user for P990i Chinese version reporting in. I guess I was damn lucky to trade in my old P900 for RM 500.

Pretty satisfy with the unit, I have to admit that especially the hand writing response is a bit too slow. Tried out a 40 pages 384K word file and my P990i restarted every time I open it. Beside that, everything working fine so far, my baby is only 4 days old.

A question for all of the experts here, how did you guys put on the +Today calender in the main desktop area?

IIRC, that feature is only available in M600i and W950i.

It wasn't there in my ex-P990i.

Received 2 sms "Liverpool Rocks", "Liverpool Power" last midnight.

When I get up my P990i light was blinking fast, checked and found out memory left 0.4mb because of the sms. It was 14.8mb last night. I am using Singapore set here with Tweak Peak Installed, no Swiss Manager.

My Firmware is R9EA001 and according to here http://uiq3.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/CDA/P990i the last update was back at 15/02/2007.

This is the only major problem I found out after 1 week+ of usage, another minor problem was the Opera browser tend to quit when loading heavy sites. I use RSS Feeds most of the time so browser problem don't bother me much.

In the case, try to use the swiss manager (latest version 1.5), and on the "Closed application when flip off setting" , it will closed all application that are running and also background application in less than 5 sec. But, the disadvantage is, it will also end the music that are playing when flip off.

Thanks for the advice, will try out later.

Hi there...have anyone used the HBH-GV435 with P990i? So how is it?? Good? And how about the life span for the phone? As u know P990i battery drain so fast..hehehe...still I'm loving it every moment....About my software...written is Phone : CX162037 R9EA001, Bluetooth : CXC162058 R5A01, Organiser : CXC162092 R4A13 and CDA : CD162007/8 R4A04. Is that the lastest??? Please advise? Thanks

I am using HBH-GV435, it sound better, clearer and louder compare to my old HBH-608. But the buttons position is kinda odd. I am still getting use to it.

1. Ya the battery life of P990i is average, if there is any activity on your phone during midnight, exm: sms, mms, miss call, reminder and etc. The green lights will blink fast to gain your attention which will drain the battery even faster.
2. Some suggested that by using Tweak Peak (Disable the transition effect) and Swiss Manager/Pro will make P990i performance better. For my case, I have uninstall both applications because I had more problem when both applications installed.

I've found out a trick here, if you click the shortcut and calender icon (the most left icon when flip open) often, it will decrease the RAM amount available which leads to auto restart even if you have Swiss Manager/Pro installed. Avoid clicking the icon will make your phone performance much much more faster and stable.

3. Yes you are using Singapore Chinese enable set like mine here, the firmware is kinda old, the last update was back at mid of February.

These are some of my comments and experiences. Hope it helps !!

the leather holster i'm looking for must not have any belt clip behind..i just want to put my phone in and put it into my pocket...

If you have budget, this is the coolest leather case I found so far. https://www.vajacases.com You can customize it to have belt loop or simply plain leather at the back. Even the color or the leather can be customized. The price plus shipping to Malaysia is around RM 350 + -.

Some of the samples of the leather case:
a) Sample 01
b) Sample 02
c) Sample 03
d) Without Belt Loop
e) With Belt Loop
