Sony Ericsson P1i Review

The Sony Ericsson P1i Mobile is a highly capable 3G Smartphone designed by Sony Ericsson with the user in mind. It comes with easy to access & easy to use business, communication, media & imaging features. The Sony Ericsson P1i supports WLAN & Bluetooth technologies & comes with 160MB of memory plus a memory card facility.


Sony Ericsson P1i comes as a replacement of two earlier models, combining their lines in one. The form-factor reminds us of the M600 with the relatively slim profile and hybrid QWERTY keyboard, but the design is more oriented to the business customers, like the P990. The M600 gets its upgrade with WiFi and camera and the P990 gets slimmer and sexier upgrade. The model name is rather strange solution but also logical one. Earlier P-series smartphones were with model numbers P800-P900-P910-P990 and the logical next model should be P1000 (or higher) but it seems that Sony Ericsson don’t want that long name and removed the zeros, naming the new phone P1i.

The P1i is Sony Ericsson’s new flagship smartphone product. Running the touchscreen variant of UIQ 3.0 on Symbian OS 9.1, with WCDMA, GSM and Wi-Fi connectivity, a QWERTY keyboard or handwriting recognition for text input and a 3.2 megapixel camera, it is well specified and a powerful smartphone.
the Sony Ericsson P1i has a much more solid feel to it. This is not just because of the material used but also due to its heavier weight. The reduced size and weight compared with the P990i will surely appeal to some who stayed away from that model because of the form factor.

The P1i is a really great looking device. The silver frame looks like brushed metal on the front side, there is a chromium-plated strip (covering the loudspeaker) on the back making the phone look more professional and elegant, the camera is surrounded by a silver cicrle with two Flash LEDs and the black plastic on the back side (including the battery cover) is rubber-like and very soft, providing better grip. Overall, the device is really well-built using high quality materials and it feels considerably better and "more expensive" than the plasticy M600 or W950. You won't be ashamed to show the P1 in good company and I'd even say that it's a good choice for those who like to show off. There are also no creaking sounds or other undesired effects (unless you tend to squeeze your phones like a citron)
the Sony Ericsson P1i Price: 350$ approx
