Sony Ericsson P990

The P990 from Sony Ericsson is based on Symbian OS v9.1 and UIQ 3. Wi-Fi enabled, the P990 has a 2 megapixel camera with autofocus and features a new hardware keyboard beneath the flip-down keypad.

The P990 offers all the benefits of UMTS including video calling, high-bandwidth multi-media downloads and the ability to browse the Internet with full HTML pages viewed in landscape in the new Opera 8 browser. Additionally the P990 is prepared for all major push email clients enabling full email access with attachments.

Offering multiple text input methods, the P990 supports users needs – users can write emails easily with the new hardware keyboard positioned beneath the flip-down keypad on the main body of the phone. The 2.8 QVGA touch screen means it is easy to read on-screen content. Users can also browse the Internet, send and receive files at the same time as talking.

The memory has been extended, a Memory Stick PRO Duo up to 4GB will be available and the P990 has up to 80 MB user free memory. A 64 MB Memory Stick PRO Duo is included, preloaded with a VPN client and trial version of a virus scan package.

Other new features include automatic time zone change to the Calendar diary and updated PC sync software with extended synchronization possibilities. Additionally the 2 Megapixel camera with autofocus, digital zoom, photo light plus the bright TFT screen and video recording provide a high quality imaging experience.
