damn 2 mp camera with auto focus, ms duo pro (as i have a 1 gb one already), touchscreen with wifi...thats my NEXT phone! (hmm..sorry N91 i want the touch screen with wifi )
(wrong section! )
doesnt look like there will be a north american version thou..else they would have announce it~
every new phone which comes out u want it dont u ?
I guess this phone will be good to use some time at the end of next year when 3G kicks into effect in the U.S., otherwise for us 850mhz people, no luck.
not going to work on US UMTS... we are implementing on a different band than the rest of the world (as usual), so any UMTS phone for Europe won't work on U.S. UMTS frequencies (they use 2100mhz UMTS, Cingular is 1900mhz UMTS).
No EDGE SUCKS! I would be all over this badboy (even though it's kinda ugly in my opinion), if it had included EDGE.
Hopefully a N. American version will have EDGE included.

If only it has a built in GPS... I loved my P910A, was the best device I ever had, but the CPU speed sucks and apps.. Does anyone know if the present apps could run on the new UIQ 3 with Symbian 9?
I have a feeling that there will be a P990a that will have EDGE instead of UMTS. It only makes sense to include a huge smartphone market like North America.

lol, problem is that what makes sense and what actually happen rarely seem to be in line with each other.
but I hope you are right!
@xynos: from what I've read, some apps will, some won't. UIQ 3 breaks with the API tha was used in UIQ 2.1 (p910), and Symbian 9.1 doesn't make it any easier.
The problem with program compatibility in this situation is that you are dealing with a.) a new OS rev, and b.) a new UI rev. So you have to program for both. But i'm sure that most major vendors are already getting their butts in gear to update for UIQ 3.

*Groan* That's what I'm afraid of. When I jumped on WM5, I have the most difficult time getting apps working. I guess I'll wait for a while before jumping on 990

Hopefully it won't be that bad, consider this from the symbian.com website:
To ensure a large proportion of applications are available on the new Symbian and UIQ software platform when the P990 goes on sale, Sony Ericsson has decided to announce the smartphone well in advance of availability so that developers have time to create and certify as many applications as possible:
Sony Ericsson:
“The technical prowess of the P990 will be brought to full life by applications from the third party developer community,” said Jan Wäreby, Executive Vice President and Head of Sales and Marketing. “Demand for applications on the P800, P900 and P910 has been very high. Our smartphones have been recognised as the most advanced and useful on the market, and we want to maintain this reputation with the P990 by ensuring there’s a rich supply of top applications for enterprise, productivity, leisure and gaming when users make their first visit to the Sony Ericsson Application Shop.”
Finally some real pics of it. I think the production model looks better than the pics that are floating around the net a few months ago. I just wish that it was a different color than silver. Black would have been nice.
Wow, this thing looks great. I owned a Treo 600 and the one thing I really did like was the keyboard on the device itself rather than on a flimsy flip. As a mac user, this device looks as close to perfect as I can wish for at this time. The PDA2k put me off Windows Mobile phones for a long long time. Can't wait for the P990 to become available. I will most certainly be willing to pay a premium for this device.
That is, unless Apple announce something even better on Wednesday.
