All About the Sony Ericsson P1i

The P1i is Sony Ericsson's latest high-end smartphone. Technically, it's an updated version of the P990 but it looks very similar to the m600 (particularly the keypad). The specs are almost drool-worthy... 3g, wifi, and a 3.2 mp camera.

I know someone who has been waiting for this phone since forever. However, I am still a bit skeptical about this one. I do think that it looks great. It doesn't look as bulky and clumsy as it's predecessors. That's a good sign. The keyboard does make me nervous... it looks very hard to type messages on, with the whole crammed qwerty keypad situation.

Anyway, here's a barage of information and links about this smartphone... everything you ever wanted to know and then some more. Enjoy.

  • Here's the trusty Cnet review of the SE P1i. They rated it 8 out of 10, which is a pretty good review. However, they did say that the keypad was hard to get used to. No surprises there.
  • Mobile Review is another great review site. I must give you a warning though, their review of the P1i is very in-depth. It isn't something you can casually browse over. It is however, a great resource for detailed information about the phone's features and usage. They also have a whole lot of pics of the phone in every angle possible.
  • Here's a nicely made presentation video. Of course, it's a promotional video and shows the P1i in the best light posible.

  • Here's a great video review of the P1i by PhoneArena. In the short 4 minute review, the reviewer manages to discuss a lot of the important features as well as show how the actual UI works.

  • Here's an interview of Jens Greve from Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications. He talks about the P1i and does a short demo too.

I surely will get this phone when money permits. I really love how SE makes their phone diffent and classy compared to the other phone manufacturers. Wi-Fi, 3g, a camera that is almost as great as their cybershot phones. WOW! I'm just scared for the qwerty keyboard though, I think it would take a lot of time to master it. Especially if your the type of user that type sms when driving. hehe. But all in all, I LOVE IT!!!!!

i think the keyboard will take some getting used to. but i imagine after a few weeks of usage typing text will feel like second nature. at least that's how it was with my treo. :)
