Summary: Good but not perfect
Comment: I've had this phone two weeks. A few times, when just going through the menus, I've gotten the "blank" screen mentioned previously and wondered "what happened.".
So far, I don't think reception with Cingular is quite as good as I was gettng with the Razr.
Putting it in or out of my horizontal belt case opens the camara lens twist door on the back of the unit. This in turn, for some reason, deactivates the "keys locked" feature which is a pain because when closed, the flip open keyboard sticks out from the rest of the phone and the slightest bump starts things happening.
FM radio will only function with wired headphones as it needs the wire for an antenna.
On Razr, during a call I could push a button to activate speaker phone. On this phone you must go into a menu during the call and select the appropriate two options. This seems to be a step backward in functionality. Sony support confirmed there is no other way.
I like the way the software handles contacts, calendar tasks and all other data entry. Easy to input and access data in a variety of useful ways.
For me, the size and weight of this phone is perfect as before I could not accept carrying around the Palm and Blackberry sized units.
Ranking high on the list of reasons I made the move was the Wi-Fi capability. I haven't tried this yet as my router is on order. If it works, it will be very useful for me.
Bottom line, all the phones I've had before have had inconveniences to get used to. The Sony P990i is no different, but I don't see any show stoppers.
I'm glad I made the purchase. Biggest advantage is total functionality in a good looking "regular" sized phone. (No question, it is a looker)
UPDATE, October 31: I take everything negative back. In the last four weeks I've learned more about how to use the phone and have to say it is awesome. No complaints.

Summary: Disapointing
Comment: I was a big fan of the p900 and really looked forward to getting the 990, sadly the phone is constantly locking and crashing...
I have to take out the batteries to rebot.
When charging from mains power supply the phone does not allow me to answer incoming calls! very frustrating for such a promising smart phone.. I going to change the sim card to element this as an issue but dont hold out much hope..

Summary: What a JOKE!
Comment: Ill make this qwik and painless.. dont buy this phone. I researched top of the line phones for months and this one seemed to be the best. HA! I bought it and it had sooo many problems.. Not to mention the very UN-userfriendly interface, the 990's best feature, the touchscreen, turned out to be its worst feature.. it made doing anything into a complicated task of measurment and hand eye coordination to access the correct button and navigate through tha bass-ackwards menus. Ohh and did I mention that it freezes and shuts off all of the time.. save your money. I went back to my 2 year old nokia and Im loving it in comparison.

Summary: One of the worst phone i ever used
Comment: i change my phone every 2 month so i ve tried a lot of phones and this is by far one of the worst. it freezes.. restarts for no reason.. applications crashes.. and when you call a computer service line.. e.g. when you call customer service and you have to choose different options.. the phone doesnt register that the line is connected and on the screen is just says dialing and it wouldnt let you choose any options..

Summary: This phone feels so old
Comment: I had the opportunity to play with this phone, as well as extensively use the Treo 680 and a Nokia N80 Internet Edition phones. By comparison, this phone feels so outdated. It is big and clunky, and the user interface and experience leave a lot to be desired.
The phone is made of a plastic, but the quality of the finishing is bad in my opinion, making the phone feel cheap. With a 320x240 resolution and such a big screen you're going to see the pixels, making all the icons and images look so 90s. The graphic toolkit used by the phone doesn't feel polished. If you scroll too fast, portions of the screen will get messed up for a few fractions of a second, until a refresh happens. The applications are placed in weird locations. By default the web browser is hidden under "Entertainment", and I had to read the manual to find it there. Trying to type in a URL didn't work as expected. Overall I found the phone to have too many annoying features.
Comparing it with the Treo and the N80, the engineering team that designed this phone is in serious need for a user interface experience guru. The phone is just not user-friendly.
At this price, you could do a lot better with other devices. I ended up returning the phone.
