I had a bitter experience with Sony Ericsson's P990i product and one of Sony Ericsson's certified service center when I gave my Sony Ericsson mobile (P990i) purchased from samar communication, palam vihar, Gurgaon, Haryana-122017 vide receipt no 177 dated Apr 27, 2007 on my Citi bank gold credit card by paying Rs 28203/- with warranty of one year. (Which I feel overcharged as per few other dealers, the cost at that time was Rs 20,000, followed by lots of freebies ) . Subsequently, purchased 2 GB memory on my Stanchart Platinum credit card by paying Rs 3300/- on June 27, 2007 as advised by the dealers.
The phone started malfunctioning and I encountered a number of problems from the day one such as 1) The phone was unable to save more than 16 contacts to SIM, on repeat process the same random 16 numbers again get saved. 2) The phone could not accommodate more than 60-70 lists in the contacts, to save more than that few other numbers have to be deleted. 3) Despite enhancing to 2 GB as suggested by the dealers, the same problems persists. 4) Unable to save to memory stick from the contacts. 5) The memory stick cover does not shut properly the way it should have been in other phone with same models. 6) It shows some messages such as information can't be found/ no memory and at time SG/... etc. In totality, I was not satisfied with the product and all my efforts to diagnose the actual fault gone vain.
Finally, I carried the mobile to Sony Ericsson's DT City Center, Gurgaon, Haryana on Jun 02, 2007 and showed to the staff, after thorough checking they advised me to go to Arcade near JMD in Gurgaon and at lasy, advised me to go to Sony Ericsson's certified Service center at Galeria, Gurgaon, Haryana.
I visited Galeria and shown to Mr PK Koul,Floor Incharge, JLK Enterprises, Galeria, Gurgaon he in turn, requested me to come the very next day with all documents after listening to my problems and my query to replace the handset with a new one. The next day, I took my set along with complete documents as requested by him. But to my dismay, he got into some sort of ordeal stating that the set goes to other repair center for advanced diagnosis, from there another center. He told me that it takes minimum 16-18 days and the replacement also comes from there. When I requested for a substitute he got offended and even refused to undertake the repair and asked me to go ahead wherever I wish to. He refused to give me in writing in the letter head when I asked him to pen down why he could not service.
At the end of the ordeal,he had asked me to hand over the set to the technician which I did.
I brought this incident to the knowledge of Sony Ericsson's customer service center number of times. But to my dismay, I get only one reply that they would come back to me with best possible solutions.
I threatened them by demanding the amount spent on the mobile (Rs 28203+ Rs 3300= Rs 31503) and for the damages or lodging FIR and going to consumer court/News Papers etc, but the company/customer service center was unmoved and stopped corresponding with me. My official as well as personal work is suffering without the phone. Finally, I received a replacement (as per the service center it was a new phone despite pointing out the huge difference in the IMEI number) P990i with IMEI NO. is [protected] on June 15, 2007 at 1920 hrs with out the screen protector against my brand new phone IMEI No. [protected]. It appears that P990i is a bad product and I came to know from the service engineer that the company has stopped its production as several customers are approaching the company with innumerable complaints.
Those who have not satisfied with Sony Ericsson products may approach / lodge an online complaints at CORE Centre (Consumer Online Resource & Empowerment Centre) against Sony Ericsson - CORE- an initiative supported by Ministry of Consumer Affairs will mediate on your behalf with the provider of products / services to get your grievance redressed amicably.
SonyEricsson is my last selection. Se was so crazy to ending write Fw for P990. Last Firmeare is ### and my P990 at video capturing is sharp-less and unfocused at all. Only Nokia.
SonyEricsson, please wake up!
Why sonyericsson stopping write new Firmware for p990? It has many bugs in last update.
I would never buy Sony Ericsson anymore, i was big fan, i used SE since T series and keep upgrading till p990. I even visit and try P1 at their stand at Singapore Broadcast Asia, i was plan to upgrade to P1 but since they stop develop p990i, i drop ma plan.
Now they leave loyal customer to pain... the p990i price suddenly drop, u suck Sony Ericsson! Oh they should change brand to "Sorry Erroneous!" what a lame.
My first and last nokia phone is 5110, i should go back to nokia from now on, oh yeaaa Die Hard 4 using communicator and its cool! Time to go back to real phone support!
I think what we must do its to go to all their new phone promo and tell people how good they are... i will be doing so in Malaysia.
I agree. P990 has HUGE potential. I bought it because of it's great form-factor and multitude of text entry methods. However the firmware is riddled with bugs (some serious enough to prevent you making/receiving calls). And SE, after releasing a long-awaited firmware update that introduced yet more problems, decided to stop releasing firmware! Ridiculous decision which means that I'll not be touching SE devices any more.
Sony stop firmware for p990. I stop purchasing any product with sony label or name. Thats it. Its final.
Its the worst thing sony is doing specially Mr.niklas sivander. If sony wants its brand name to be on top the sony should fired Mr. niklas sivander. He is really a brand killer. Shame on sony ericsson
SonyEricsson, wake up!

I bought a Sonyericsson P1i in Dubai Duty Free late September 07. A month later, in Kuwait where I work, the phone turned itself off. When I turned the unit back on it went in a loop of turning on, showing the SE logo, displaying the progress bar as if to complete the boot, and then turning itself off - it has been like that since.
I contacted the service center(Fono) in Dubai that was on the warranty. I was told that they cannot honor the warranty and that I should contact the place where I bought the unit.
I contacted the SE service center in Kuwait (Barrak) where they looked at it for a couple of hours then told me "to bring it back to dubai."
I went back to Dubai in December, 07 and contacted the Customer Service of the Dubai Airport Duty Free Shop - where I bought the unit. I showed the person at the counter the problem (booting on and off) - I was told that they will arrange for the unit to be sent to their service center. I went back to Kuwait.
In JAnuary, 2008, the Duty Free emailed to inform me that they couldn't do anything with the unit and attached to the email was a report from the service center saying that the motherboard of the unit is bent; and that the unit has been misused - and that I should collect the unit.
How could I have misused a brand new phone for its motherboard to bend? So I wrote back in protest.
They said that the SE service center in Kuwait might be responsible - and that I should have contacted the Duty Free first. But the warranty said that I shoud contact Fono - which I did. Who contacts the retailer for repair anyway?
A lot of pages of email later, I went back to Dubai in March and collected the unit.
So now, I have a Sony Ericsson P1i that's been used for only a month, that boots on and off and still under warranty (until Sept.2008). I have long since bought a Motorola Z6.
Lessons learned:
Do not buy a phone in Dubai Duty Free Shop. If I had gone home to Australia, it meant that I had to go back to Dubai to have it repaired. Also, what is the sense of issuing me a warranty card that was inaccurate? I will never shop there again.
Sony Ericsson's customer care service is appaling. The service centers in the Gulf are incompetent. I have two service centers pointing fingers at each other. By the way, I bought my first Sonyericsson phone in 2003, a T610. The same thing happened (booting on and off) but there was no problem fixing it in Australia. But because of this bad P1i experience, I will not buy another Sonyericsson phone again.
I am thinking of hiring a lawyer. What do you think? If there's anyone who could help please contact me.
my p990i wheel broke and this firmware has alot of bugs.the phone is good when you hack it.and add programs to help.theres not enough ram too.lossless ram you have to restart the phone to get it back!

MY SONY ERICCSON MOBILE K530i HAVING PROBLEM OF BATTERY DISCHARGING VERY FAST IN 2 HRS AFTER BUYING IN 15 DAYS PERIOD I HAVE GIVEN IT TO SERVICE CENTER BUT AFTER A MONTH I STILL NOT GET A POSITIVE REPLY EVEN MY FIRST MOBILE K530I HAVING SAME KIND
OF PROBLEM AFTER BUYING IN 3DAYS PERIOD AND IT GOT REPLACED.
COMPANY MUST STOPPED MANUFACT. THE FAULTY PRODUCT. AND STOP THE SELL OF THE PRODUCT.
I had purchased P990i in Dec 07 through internet via sify on SBI card. Since it was working okay, I purchased another P990i for my daughter. But recently, my phone's LCD calibration is lost. I showed it to Sony Service Centre in Mumbai. They said I have to pay for LCD screen because phone purchase country is not India. I can not understand how this can happen? when I made payment in Rupees and instrument was delivered to me on my Mumbai address?
Sony is cheating customers. Even my daughter's phone is not working. Flip keyboard stopped functioning.
I was fan for Sony phones, earlier used K750i.
But now decided to switch over to Nokia.
Sony should wake up.
