Sony Ericsson P990 Finally Available, Indiana Jones 4 and Duke Nukem Forever Still En Route

The SE P990 that we saw back when That 70s Show was called That Show About Current Events With People In Fashionable Clothing is finally available on Amazon. You can pick one up for $699 if you really want it, but the sucktastic UI and the lousy ergonomics may be too much for any human without Mother Teresa-like patience. More »

Sony Ericsson Naming Problem

Well yesterday we took a loot at that new-fangled Sony Ericsson P990, well good job Sony, you have caused the biggest naming cluster-fuck ever. After further researching this little dandy phone we have come to realize that pretty much every company out there has some kind of product named "P990." Here is a quick list of other products name P990: Dell P990 19" CRT monitor, the GE P990/991 multi-band receiver, Saitek P990 game pad, Fisher FVC-P990 camcorder battery, Technics SL-P990 CD player, and finally (our favorite) the Walther P990 HANDGUN. Come on Sony, you're busting our chops. More »

Sony Ericsson P990 - Hermione Unbound

Finally, it turns out that the much-rumored Sony Ericsson Hermione phone is actually the P990. The just-released phone seriously packs it on with both UMTS and WiFi, and comes with a new UIQ3 open software platform that's based on the Symbian OS. And if that doesn't have you drooling, it also has a 2.8-inch QVGA TFT touch-screen display, a 2 megapixel camera with autofocus and digital zoom, and a QWERTY keyboard positioned beneath the flip-out keypad. The Opera 8 web browser is included, as well as a VPN client, and a trial version of a virus scan package (I guess those cellphone viruses must be making an impact). You can also multi-task on this thing; surf the Internet while talking on the phone, for example (via a headset, we presume). It also has the ability to handle all major push email solutions, multimedia messaging, video streaming, and video recording. The phone itself comes packaged with 80MB user free memory and a 64MB Memory Stick, though a 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo is set to come out at the same time as the phone. As is expected, the size is a little hefty at 4.4 x 2.2 x 1 inches, and weighing in at 155g. More »
