SONY ERICSSON P1i

The new one from SE in the P series, the SE P1i is a business phone with good email features , and multimedia capabilities. Lets find out more.

DESIGN
Incorporated with a plethora of features and a solid design, it can easily last 2-3 severe falls. The face of the phone is brushed steel whereas the back is silver plastic. The back has been rubberized for a good grip, and the phone has a glossy cover all over. The screen is a 2.6″ huge one, which is good in quality. The stylus and the jog key are resting on the left of the phone. The Internet hot key, camera key and the M2 slot have been placed on the right. A 3.2 MP camera is present on the back and the infrared port is on top along side the power key. The multi-port connector has been loaded on the underside.

INTERFACE
Equipped with a 208 Mhz processor, 128MB memory the phone still turned out to be a bit slow. The interface is awesome, and easy to learn, and you would be zipping through it in very little time. The jog key makes it easier to navigate by selecting and clicking via a single key. The QWERTY pad is fast enough, and the touchscreen is decent. Another additional feature is the handwriting recognition., which is quite good.

CAMERA
The 3.2MP camera, supplied with Autofocus and LED captures good images in low lighting conditions too. The max resolution achievable is 2048×1536, and the quality is awesome overall. Video recording is in CIF and the resolution is 320×240 maximum, and the playback quality is also good enough for a phone of this class.

MULTIMEDIA
The interface implemented is Walkman style, and there is no doubt that the quality is superb. All the media can be controlled from a stand-alone player, which lets you configure playlists and also listen to FM via a single application.

CONNECTIVITY
Good options like Infrared, WiFi, 3G and GPRS and Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP capabilities complete its set of features. The Email applications are accessible without any problems, and the network reception is great.

CONCLUSION
A good successor to the P-lineup, this one has good quality and decent features for its class. The battery life is decent, with nearly 3 hours of usage on full load. Good for SE fans looking for a business style phone.
