Some people call it the mother of all smartphones, and rightly so. Sony Ericsson's P990i cell phone has been granted approval by the FCC, ensuring it reaches our grubby l'il hands. The phone boasts Symbian OS 9.1 as well as the upgraded UIQ 3 platform.

How soon can we expect this baby? I'd guess sometime in August would be good. We've been waiting a long time for UIQ 3 and it'll be interesting to see what Sony Ericsson has done with it. Like its predecessors, the P990i features the familiar Jog Dial to scroll around the menu items.

A Task Manager is integrated, allowing you to switch between tasks. The phone supports Memory Stick PRO Duo media. Our coverage of the Sony Ericsson P990i Cell Phone is also available.
