Even though Sony Ericsson P1i is quite a old phone,last week i was able to play it with for some time and came out quite impressed by its looks and features.
PROS
- The fit & finish was excellent, typical ’sony’ one might call it. Measuring 106 x 55 x 17 mm and weighing at 124 grams its quite handy for a full fledged qwerty smartphone.
- The ARM9 208 Mhz processor with 128 MB RAM seems to handle multitasking very well and the symbian UIQ OS V9.1 was quite easy to use
- The 2.6″ 240 x 320 262K TFT screen was nice and sharp
- The camera was also a worthy addition and its 3 megapixel autofocus shooter proved a useful snapper
- Even though its a smartphone it had a worthy multimedia player capable of handling mp3, aac,wma,mp4, 3gp and also a FM Radio with RDS
- Business features like support for Blackberry and Microsoft Exchange Server, a full fledged Opera browser and Office Suite makes it a handy companion for people on the go
- Input methods include a nice handwriting recognition and a excellent word completion dictionary
- Connectivity options like USB, Infrared,Bluetooth with A2DP, GPRS,3G, Wireless LAN make it a excellent smartphone to use
- More features like Business card scanner, music recognition, pdf reader and fun stuff like games (with good graphics) makes it a nice all rounder.
- The phone comes with 160 MB memory and can be expanded with Memory Stick Micro M2
- Phone quality and battery was also very good even with extended usage.
CONS
- The dual function keyboard was little tough to use
- No EDGE connectivity
At a current street price of 16,000 bucks (335$) its a worthy buy for people who wants a good smartphone with good multimedia capabilities.
