Sony Ericsson P1i (Unlocked)

(29/10/07)
Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: The Sony Ericsson P1i is a nice upgrade to its predecessor and offers an alternative to today's Windows Mobile and Palm smartphones, but we're ultimately disappointed by the kludgey interface and lack of 3G.
Pros: ; The Sony Ericsson P1i features a beautiful touch screen, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. The Symbian smartphone also offers robust e-mail capabilities, productivity apps for the mobile professional, and good call quality.
Cons: ; The P1i doesn't support U.S. 3G networks and performance is sluggish at times. The interface can also be overcomplicated, and you're limited to Sony's proprietary headset and expansion cards.

Review of GSM/UMTS-smartphone Sony Ericsson P1i

(25/05/07)
Summary: The volume of the 40-chord ringer is quite sufficient¿ it doesn¿t deliver any problems, making sure that the device sounds loud enough to be heard in most cases. The silent alert is average strength-wise, but thanks to the casing¿s thickness, there is no problem with feeling the vibration. It seemed to me that the volume level of the... Read the full review

The clunky user interface and weird keyboard layout, however, make it more difficult to use than competing smart phones
Pros: ; Wi-Fi and 3G support; good business applications; good camera
Cons: ; Confusing user interface; weird keyboard layout; short battery life
