Sony Ericsson Announce P990 UMTS Smartphone
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "THE COMPETITION" @ 06:30 PM
"This will become heavy competition for the HTC Universal. . . . The P990 will be the first commercially available smartphone to adopt the enhanced Symbian OS version 9.1 and UIQ 3 software platform. This flagship UMTS smartphone is Wi-Fi enabled, has a 2 megapixel camera with autofocus and features a new hardware keyboard beneath the flip-down keypad. . . .[T]he P990 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."
The P990 should ship in the first quarter of 2006 and there will be several regional variants. Apparently it's now possible to 'multi task' due to the 'enhanced capabilities of the new software platform'. Gosh, what a splendid feature! But I bet the thing that most of you are exited about, is the inclusion of a tiny proprietary memory stick and a trial anti-virus package. So what is Sony 'really' saying here then? ;-) So, is anyone volunteering to give up their HTC Universal for the P990? :twisted:
