The highly anticipated P990i is the next in a line of successful
Sony Ericsson SmartPhones - the P800i, P900i and P910i - and
is based on the same proven concept and recognisable form
factor. All have been popular with users, operators and software
developers thanks to their powerful productivity features.
Operator feedback and download statistics from the Sony Ericsson
Application Shop have shown that consumers, both business
and personal, are interested in using their SmartPhones to
the fullest potential.
As with its predecessors, the P990i is designed to be first
and foremost a great mobile phone. It also offers all the
benefits of UMTS including video calling, high-bandwidth multi-media
downloads and the ability to browse the Internet with full

and useful on the market and this latest addition is no exception,'
added Mr El-Assi. 'Its technical prowess means that the P990i
is sure to become the latest must have item in boardrooms
throughout the UAE.'
The combination of UMTS and WLAN features will also significantly
improve the efficiency and flexibility of applications such
as e-mail, browsing the Internet/Intranet and video telephony.
WLAN, available in hot spots all over the UAE and the world,
acts as a complement to high speed 3G services, enabling widespread
access to corporate network services or allows the P990i to
be used as high-speed modem connecting a PC to the internet.
Speed is what 3G mobile phone users are looking for and the
P990i has it. With the fastest wireless networks and the most
advanced network operator services available, users can enjoy
real mobile internet in your phone at top speeds, while mobile
RSS feeds provide up-to-the-minute news updates.
The P990i has multiple text input methods enabling it to
support all users' needs and preferences. Writing e-mails
is made easier by the new hardware keyboard positioned beneath
the flip-down keypad on the main body of the phone. Reading
them is made simpler on the large 2.8 inch QVGA touch screen,
providing 240x320 pixels in 262,000 colors. Multi tasking
- being able to browse the Internet, send and receive files
at the same time as talking - is now possible due to the enhanced
capabilities of the new software platform. It also features
Bluetooth technology and a FM radio.
Memory has been extended in order to handle all multi-media
downloads and e-mail attachments. Memory Stick PRO Duo up
to 4GB will be available in the market at launch and the P990i
now has up to 80 MB user free memory. A 64 MB Memory Stick
PRO Duo is included in the box 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.
The popularity of the Sony Ericsson SmartPhones in the Middle
East is already well established. Recently, PC Magazine cited
the Sony Ericsson P910i with the Best Performer and Editor's
Choice Awards, pushing Sony Ericsson to top honours as the
prestigious magazine's SmartPhone Manufacturer of the Year
for 2005.
