 SonyEricsson P990 is announced in 2005
Design
SonyEricsson's P990 - one of few models from SonyEricsson featuring a more traditional candy bar design, the SonyEricsson P990 is very heavy and too big handset at 57 x 114 x 26 mm and 150 grams. The black and white display is ideal for text, messages and simple pictures like logos and picture massages.The display resolution 240 x 320 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker, while on the other side we find a dedicated camera button.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all SonyEricsson handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The P990 is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.While the big display a numerical keypad placed on a small space offers appropriately-spaced keys and are not pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent SonyEricsson handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, giving it a cheap feel while oddly designed buttons, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.Its keypad is as pleasing in use as its chassis is on the eyes: tactile feedback is excellent and all buttons are placed in a logical manner - quite a feat, considering P990's knack for quirky keypads.The most notable trait of the P990 is of course the way in which it expands from an ordinary mobile phone with a numeric keypad to a fully fledged messaging device with a QWERTY keyboard.
Features
In the WAN department, the P990 boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as HSCSD, GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 2.0, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of infrared old wireless device,bluetooth high speed small range wireless device.GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, HSCSD support gives more speed when you browse with your mobile browser,and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the P990 is also equipped with a 1 megapixel camera support for picture-taking , as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 80 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits. The P990 also comes with an Secure Digital (SD) and expansion slot located under its battery,a 16-128 MB card comes bundled in the sales package, more space for images audio and video files, less time for PC and communication cable for updating internal memory,
Performance
Audio quality on the P990 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 9 hours talk time or 400 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 105 minutes.
Availability
The SonyEricsson P990 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
SonyEricsson P990 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical SonyEricsson design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
