Sony Ericsson P990 used to be the flagship of the company. During the time it was launched, it featured every connectivity features available. It also has an autofocus, 2 megapixel camera, a front-facing camera for video call, a conventional keypad, a full QWERTY keyboard, Memory Stick slot, and a FM radio.
It runs on Symbian 9.1 OS, which at that time was the latest platform. It has a large 2.76 inch TFT touchscreen that features a QVGA resolution. The Sony Ericsson P990 had all you need from a smartphone in 2006. It is the superstar of the industry before the iPhone and Androids arrived.
Sony Ericsson’s P-series smartphones have been a strong contender in the smartphone market. The P990 is not different. It continued the brand’s dominance of the market. People raved for the combined QWERTY and conventional keypad as well as the touchscreen interface.
The Sony Ericsson P990 is an excellent smartphone. Most people choose to get one when it was released in the market. While its touchscreen is one of its selling points, it is also one of its disadvantages. Its interface has a steep learning curve. You need to use both hands to use the phone. You can dial when the flip is opened but it is hard to dial a number without looking at the screen.
