Sony Ericsson P990 Smartphone Review

The P990 features much, in a not very small package. Its design and construction are almost flawless, but unfortunately the QWERTY keyboard could be a step better. Packing the Symbian UIQ operating system, it has all the bells and whistles, as well as...

Solid construction with well done keypads (including hardware QWERTY keyboard) ; 2-megapixel camera with good image quality ; Music player with lots of options; FM Radio

Slow reactions; accidentally blocking ; Big and bulky size; awful battery cover ; Mediocre audio quality with the headphones from the box ; So 1880's speed for transferring data

Sony Ericsson P990

I received the first samples of the device about a year before its official announcement and they looked like pieces of plastic with functional peculiarities specified (the screen size, key disposition and so on). And soon it got clear, that not the...

The designers tried to keep the look of Sony Ericsson P900/P910 and make it as rememberable. The difference in the body size is not very big, since this phone has the dimensions of 114x57x25 mm and the P900, for instance, is 117x57x27 mm in size. At...
