Stay In Touch: Sony Ericsson P990i
“Leave your PC at the office whilst traveling! Connect to the wireless network in you favorite cafe, send and receive emails on the go, browse the internet and listen to mp3s or your favorite radio station.
Stay in touch with your colleagues and friends with this 3G smartphone.”
After taking a look at the M600i I decided that the bigger P990i would be better for me as it had WiFi, considering that GPRS/3G data transfer is still rather expensive…
When I got the P990i it crashed quite a few times in the first couple of days. After installing the software update from Sony Ericsson’s web site the problems went away, so I recommend updating as soon as you can. One thing that disappointed me though is that Apple seems to have no updates in sight for iSync to support the newer Symbian OS used by Sony Ericsson and a few other hand set manufacturers so its a matter of grinding your teeth and being patient. Another annoying fact is that Sony Ericsson does not have software for the Mac!
Other than that I am happy to have chosen the P990i and it is rather convenient surfing using WiFi hot-spots instead of relying on GPRS/3G…
