Ubuntu running on P990i?

by Thomas Ricker, posted Apr 16th 2007 at 8:17AM


Put your sleuthing caps on dear readers, we've got a new case for you. A blurry video has surfaced of a Sony Ericsson P990i running a mobile version of Ubuntu. With the aid of a soldering gun and "special software," someone by the name of Wizolabo (already credited with a homemade theremin) seems to have produced a working copy of the favored Linux distro running on the favored SE superphone. It all looks promising enough, but it's not the first time we've seen video edited and choreographed to look like final product. Made all the more dubious from a dearth of instructions or detail. Check the video after the break and let us know what you think.

Sony Ericsson's P990i gains FCC approval

by Thomas Ricker, posted Jul 10th 2006 at 9:26AM

Announced way back in October, that Sony Ericsson P990i just got tagged with the FCC's good housekeeping seal of approval. With that out of the way, we might actually see this tri-band GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 with UMTS (2100) handset with Symbian OS 9.1 / UIQ 3 Stateside sometime in Q1, Q2, Q3 after the 2100MHz spectrum comes off the auction block and into the greedy little hands of your fave (or not so fave) wireless provider. And with a 2.8-inch touchscreen, 802.11b WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, 2 megapixel cam, media player, QWERTY keypad, and suite of corporate email connectivity options, well, we're guessing that even with all the delays, you might still care.
