Sony Ericsson to launch P990i...finally

Reuben Lee | Aug 23, 2006

The wait is over. Fans of the Sony Ericsson P990i can finally get a hold of the much-anticipated smart phone when it makes its way into Singapore stores on August 24. The QWERTY-equipped handset, the successor to the P910i, was first announced late last year for a Q1 2006 launch. However, due to strategic marketing reasons, the P990i was delayed once and then again, possibly to complement the launch of the M600i communicator.

The P990i's strongest suit is its connectivity. Like the Nokia E61, the P990i delivers the whole gamut from 3G to Wi-Fi, to USB, Bluetooth as well as support for push email clients like BlackBerry. The handset runs on the Symbian 9.1 OS and UIQ 3 software platform and features a 2-megapixel camera, FM radio with RDS (Radio Data System), thumbboard, 18-bit QVGA screen and an onboard Memory Stick Duo slot. The P990i will retail for S$1,288 (US$916.40) with a two-year plan and S$1,388 (US$987.55) without.
