It came with a 16MB Memory Stick Duo but supports up to 128MB. The touchscreen displays 4,096 colours (12-bit colour depth).

A long awaited updated version of the "P" series phones, the [[Engineering:Sony Ericsson P990|Sony Ericsson P990]] was launched at the Symbian Smartphone Show in September 2005. It is based upon the [[Engineering:UIQ|UIQ]]3 platform (utilizing Symbian OS v9.1).
