P990 Coming Sooner than you think!
Finally after 9 months since Sony Ericsson's P990 announcement made last October, we have an official release date from Sony Ericsson. Surfacing from the pits of delay - hindered by OS development issues – Sony Ericsson engineers struggle to solve difficulties involving the stability of the P990 on it's new Symbian OS 9.1 and touchscreen GUI interface UIQ 3.0. Since the announcement, fans gathered to speculated the coming of this promising phone through the months on mobile phone web discussion forums. Initially scheduled to release on 1Q 2006, then 2Q 2006, fans of the P990 who waited patiently can now rejoice for the king of smartphones has arrived.
Sony Ericsson has added a new line to the P990 list of key features “High quality 30fps (frames per second) video recording” . Hopefully they meant 30fps at CIF (352X288) resolutions which is very possible as the P990 uses the Philips Nexperia PNX4008 Mobile Multimedia Processor with a built-in video accelerator supporting the encoding and decoding of MPEG-4/H.263 video streams up to CIF resolution at 30fps.
Many webstores has release dates across the month (August) for the P990. On Sony Ericsson's UK store, the “Coming Soon” tag has been replaced with Aug 06. Forumers from different regions such as Singapore, India and the UAE are getting positive indication that the P990 will reach their shores this month.
Mobilephone news and reviews site are beginning reviewing the retail P990 unit and reviews will becoming out shortly. Some European site had already posted reviews since last week. Release dates for Malaysia is still uncertain though. I called Sony Ericsson Malaysia and they gave me a fuzzy promise, by end of September. I try calling T-Choice (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd and Midland Network Sdn. Bhd but didn't get an answer. Malaysians however can to get their AP (Approval Products) P990s earlier and much cheaper but be warned that AP units aren't supported by Sony Ericsson Malaysia.

Happy One Year Old, Tech N Tools!
Oh my, I've forgotten Tech N Tools turned one year old 2 days ago. We started Tech N Tools on the 30th of July last year. As of now we have had 10,177 pageloads and 6,345 unique visitors with an average of 27 pageloads and 17 unique visitors per day. Thanks to everyone who visited and supported our blog.
Our weblog still lack content and constant updates as members lack time to contribute articles. One of the causes could be the addiction to the popular Warcraft 3 custom map “DotA Allstars” shortly after the creation of this blog. We are still have an on going game on Neverwinter Nights, Diablo “The Lord of Terror” remake module.
Can't find the time or convenience to compile multiple articles per day like the other more dedicated blogs do. Hopefully after acquiring a Sony Ericsson P990 after it's release will change all that. My fellow blogger rezgouki has an Eten M500 with a Wifi SDIO card but the poor battery life when using Wifi and troublesome text input methods on that Windows Mobile device could be a limiting factor to its usefulness in blogging. by 鬼徒二等兵 at 12:01 PM 0 comments links to this post
