If am correct, the screen size is the same!!!

Just got this info from friends in Hong Kong. Price should be around $750 - 850 USD. I'm so getting it if it comes out in Christmas, coz i'll be back home in Christmas. SE HK please release it soon!

yeah, but in reality the screen size is only a tad smaller than the P910. I doubt most people will be bothered by it.

mmm.... I dont really like the design - it seems antiquated now - having started from the p800 a few years ago. Plus the weight and thickness - I wish they made it lighter, and thinner.

The screen size was reduced by 4mm? At least it's not by much. However the "coolness factor" of having it look like a PDA is now gone. Unlike in the p900 where you can take out the keypad - this one now has a permanent one.

That very same keypad would be useless for me I think, coz im a big guy, tall, and have large fingers - which is exactly the same reason that I never use that dimunitive itsy-bitsy qwerty keypad of the p910. One press always involves two keys. (especially irritating if its snowing and you're wearing gloves).

The specs are nice though... but I think I'll try and test one out before I make a decision on buying it. I already find my p910 a bit laggy, with this new UIQ, new camera, and other features tacked on to it - I hope that they dont slow the phone down. The phone's speed, or rather its lack of it, would be the dealbreaker for me.


cheers!

wtf?!? the keypad's permanent? hmm...... there are pros and cons i guess. Not much of a problem there, initially the previous p900 and p910, they have to cater for the design of giving users the pleasure to have a electronic keypad, and also ease of disassembling it, hence IMO, resulted in certain reliability issues (my keypad's gone stupid,registering wrong key inputs) I do think this trade off is a fair one, a detachable keypad with less reliability, and a permanent one where it's functional yet reliable.

Yupe, diffenbaker, i agree with you, my main concern is the miniscule 208mhz processing speed.

The 6680, 6681 and 6630 has an ARM9 223MHZ processor. With WiFi, UIQ 3.0, Touchscreen, and 2mp camera...... the p990 might be a slow and laggy phone indeed.

tnx-1clk

it looks kinda weird when viewed from the side, the flip is too thick

it looks kinda same when viewed from the side, the flip is still thick as it were in P910, P900.

I love the P990 from head to toe, as a matter of fact it's making me wet.....more wet than when i first saw Shaheen's picture!

[marwan]

difenbaker, the keypad on the P990 is removable as far as i know.

ooo err...I forgot about speed. Crickey, the almost perfect phone, would be ironic if it couldnt handle all the features.
