P900 to P910i

It's possible.
You get P910i firmware functions like 1GB memstick support, HTML mail, brightness control as well as bundled Quick Office & a few other software that comes with the P910i.
The phone is open lined as well.

The screen brightness control is a big battery saver, setting it at 20% brightness almost doubles the battery life before needing to recharge.

kaso nga lang wala yung QWERTY and the 262k color resolution :D

[Auto_Xer]

Yup, wala nga.

It extends the P900's functions more than anything else.

With P900s going for around 20-25k & P910i's at 37k, upgrading the firmware in that manner is like getting a bargain P910i.

I compared a P900 a P910i side by side.
Speed is about the same.
Screen is still 65k colors unless in full screen mode(according to SE white paper).
I haven't compared the screen resolution in that manner since I only found out about the full screen 265k mode after I had returned the P910i.
When I did the comparison(non full screen mode) there didn't seem to be any difference in the color resolution.

I've heard that you can retrofit a P910i Qwerty pad onto the P900, haven't seen one yet though.
I think doing so wouldn't be practical as the qwerty keypad adds another few thousand & if that's the case might as well go for a real deal P910i.

For me I think the firmware upgrade is good enough.

auto-xer,
un price ba na yan is brand new or second hand?.

and un sa brightness talagang nagwowork ba?. kaya naman pala ang bilis maubos ng batt ko kasi lage 100% hehehehehe

[Auto_Xer]

odell,

Yung prices ng P900 I mentioned are used units that I see advertised, actual maybe lower.
Usually nasa 24-26k range & nagkakatalo na lang kung ano yung kasama.
I got mine for 24k & it came with the original packaging as well as a screen protector & a 128mb memstick.

I've upgraded the firmware.
I've set my screen brightness at 20-30% & practically doubles battery life.
I no longer need to charge everyday or worry about draining the battery before the day ends.
The bundled QuickOffice is a bonus too as it resides in flash.

Drawbacks,
The conversion makes the P900/910 hybrid choosy about which BT headsets it'll work with, so if you've already got a BT headset this may not be for you.
Other than that I haven't found any othere BT issues(it bonds with my Palm, another P900/P910i, BT dongle, N6600)

auto-xer mejo ot...san mo binili yung mobile phone mo?

[Auto_Xer]

A friend who got a P910i sold it to me.
I may another friend with one who'll be letting go of their's come January.
Remind me na lang by the 12th.

Wala bang discount from 1,500?

[BlueBimmer]

wow this would be a worthwhile upgrade!

[odell]

OT pero auto.xer talagang nabouble un battery life. hehe.. nakakaaliw. thanks sa info!

[Auto_Xer]

Odell,
For me it has.
Before upgrade, I'm usually left with 20-25% charge at the end of the day when I leave the house at 630am fully charged.
Since the upgrade, I'm left with 55-60% charge at the end of the day.
I set my brightness at 25-30% of maximum.

bm5er,
Pag more than 1 unit na ipa-ugrade at the same time meron.

BlueBimmer,
Yes, it is.
It also allows you to make your own folders sa SMS instead of the default inbox, outbox,draft & sent of the P900.
Great for sorting your messages from family, friends or business associates.
