It took me three weeks to fully accept P990i as I synchronize it with my day to day events. Well, not that I have my hands full or anything, but as an average person, I don’t really have the needs that it promises to fulfill. It took me a while to find it really useful but when you get the hang of it, you just wouldn’t get enough actually.
Equipped with a 2 megapixel camera, it produces great pictures. The screen shows a crisp detail of every angle and lighting condition and with auto focus you can never go wrong. I feel that this defines the concept of point and shoot. Cool thing about the auto focus, it produces a sound as soon as the camera is ready to shoot. It has front camera that takes care of Video conferencing of which me and my beau are very fond of.
With its own file manager, P990i is a powerful organizer. It comes with a Acrobat Reader and Quick Office that would basically take care of all your important document and office presentation. I bet this will find its purpose as soon as I go back to school.
Impressively, the screen defines colors at its best. The brightness can be adjusted to one’s preference. Draw back about the screen is that whenever on its Flip Closed mode, the icons are sort of jagged on its edges. I believe that this has something to do with the sudden change of screen size. Also, in outdoor lighting condition, you would have a very hard time seeing what’s on the screen.
The screen also responds to the tap almost instantly. Although there are occasions that the icons would hang before executing a command, a quick restart of the phone often does the job.
I like the idea of having everything in one device. You bring your files with you and review them or even edit them before you send it through e-mail. Neat thing about it is that you have myriad options for your connectivity needs. It comes with Wifi to help you connect to hotspots anywhere around the metro and if any wireless lan is not present, you have GPRS or 3G to take care of your internet connection.
The P990i is a powerful device. Sad part about it though is that there are no programs being developed to enhance its usage. Oh, and yes, it does restart a lot. Heck, it is still one powerful phone.
