Time for a new phone December 4, 2005
Well it’s been about 2 years since I purchased my last phone, the SonyEricsson P900. I did a lot of research when I brought my last phone and 2 years ago, it was years ahead of all of the other smart phones on the market. 2 years later, the rest of the phone market has just about caught up with the capabilities of the P900. This coupled with the beating my phone has taken over the last few years has prompted me to begin the search for it’s successor. I’ve considered several phones, including a , the Motorola Ravr V3 and the Treo 650, to name a few. All of these are pretty good, but then, low and behold something caught my eye…
Sony Ericsson is about to release the upgrade to the P900, introducing the P990i! Well to be truthful, this is the second upgrade since my P900. SE came out with the P910 about a year ago, where they added in a qwerty keyboad on the back of the numeric flip as well as push email technology (The same that made Blackberries so popular). The Qwerty keyboad design was useless and flimsy, plus I wasn’t ready to upgrade as of yet.
Take a look at the features in the P990i. Not only have they fixed the features in the P910i, they have included things like an FM Radio, Memory up to 4GB, 2megapixel camera and a photo light, to name a few, all in a smaller profile and bettery battery life. It’ll be available in a few months in Europe (I usually order from MPhone), when I get it, I’ll leave comments on how it handles.
Update: Finally! The P990i has FINALLY finished it’s FCC approval and should be available next month. Thanks to Gizmodo for the heads up!

I just got the Sony Ericsson W800i and love it, but maybe I should have waited for the Sony Ericsson P990i!…
WOW! Check this out, you can use the front 2megapixel camera to scan in any business cards right to your contact list to be synced into Outlook, with it’s built in OCR software! How frickin cool is that?!?
Crap! I just dropped my phone and now the display has gone dark and won’t come back on…..and SE STILL haven’t released the P990i. It really burns me up that they are taking so long to get this phone released.
Hoooo Ray! As if the Gods of Technology themselves heard my anguish, the P990i is about to be released! I did manage to get my P900 display working again by correctly dropping it on the desk in frusteration, however it is certainly time to retire the poor thing. Now if only I can get it past….The Wife! (queue suspensfull filler music)…
[…] Well after a very long and very anticipated wait, I finally have my new Sony Ericsson P990i. […]
