Upgraded the latest SE Firmware for 990i
I replaced my screen from SE service centre and at the same time they updated the firmware.
Few weeks back I complaint on how updating the the firmware to
Phone: CXC162037 R9F011
Bluetooth: CXC162058 R5A01
Organizer: CXC162036 R5A17
CDA: CDA162007/1 R5A13
and it affects the loudness of the alarm. Well the first I did with the phone was to test the alarm function. Indeed the alarm trigger the normal way it should be. No more soft alarm tone.
The latest Sony Ericsson P990i firmware which is avaliable from June 15, 2007:
Phone: CXC162037 R9G007
Bluetooth: CXC162058 R5A01
Organizer: CXC162036 R6D23
CDA: CDA162007/1 R6D23
A snaphot of the new firmware
However I did find out other issue with the new firmware. When you are charging the phone, the vibrating mode will not trigger when there is an incoming call, text message and alarm trigger. So if you are so use to rely on the vibrating alert for any occasions (charging and non-charging) , you will just have to bear with it and hopefully this issue will be solve during the next update! There could be some other bug that I have not discover but we can always visit forum for the latest information on the new firmware.

Is the new upgrage R9G007 better than the previous one, i have read in some forums that there is problem wirting long emails or texts. Something to do with the copy buffer?

I have not tried writing long emails so I can’t answer you regarding that. The current firmware did solve some of the previous issue like the alarm problem which I mention in my other post.
However I found out another issue and that is when you are charging the P990i the vibrating mode will not trigger along with voice, sms and alarm even if you have set it to “On”. Vibrating alert works normal when not charging.
My advise would be do not update the firmware for time being, stick with your current firmware if it does not give you any problem.
Every new firmware solve the previous problem but somehow creates a new set of issue.
