DOESN'T PLAY VIDEO??? U guys kidding me??My Sony Ericsson P990 had HUGE problems.For starters,the hardware was not sufficient to handle the faulty software.The phone used to reboot everyday sometimes during a call.The camera makes out of focus pictures.The alarm never worked well...i even had 3-4 sleepless nights due to that.The sound is not audible enough when playing music/video.There is no way to close an application. At any given time the total free ram is less than 10 mb(for a smartphone)...meaning you can never browse and listen to music at the same time(either one of the application closes or the phone reboots). And we paid us$ 750 for this brick.Then later thay said they are stopping support for the device (about a year after launch)by stopping firmware updates.
And when we complained(well HTC said our future products have these things...but wait to see what SE said)SE officially said (something like this)...WE find the product with current firmware very satisfactory to use and if you don't like it,BUY our new phone P1i which has many of these issues sorted out. We got this official word when hundreds of P990,M600 and W950 users complained at the SE dev forum. WE even distributed flyers at a famous mobile phone show in europe last year but SE simply turned a blind eye.
Am surprised that due to video playback problems,(engadget made a news entry,but never made a news entry for out p990 problems)HTC owners are planning a lawsuit...
My P990 was the biggest mistake i ever made with my money.Will never forgive SE for this.

It's the carrot on the string.
If they gave you everything now why would you buy the next device

Yeah, sounds like the differentiation between a couple models of the HTC will simply be a software switch enabling the accelerator!
