Sony Ericsson's latest 'P' series release the P1i, has the promise of another great Smartphone from the manufacturer. It has done away with the traditional design of the original P series with the flip keypad. The P1 is designed more like the M600 with a large 2.6-inch touchscreen display sporting 320 x 240 pixel resolution with a Transflective surface that makes it easier to read even outdoors."In one sense the Sony Ericsson P1 is an evolution of our P-series smartphones, as it pushes forward the best attributes of its predecessors," says Steve Walker, Head of Product Marketing at Sony Ericsson. "At the same time there are also significant improvements in design, speed and battery performance."
The business features include a range of push email solutions and Web browsing applications, plus added connectivity via hi-speed UMTS and Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi). The P1 is also VoIP enabled. It runs on Symbian OS version 9.1 and UIQ 3.0. So installing additional software is no problem. It even supports Exchange ActiveSync and BlackBerry Connect. It also supports reading and editing of MS documents.
Among its media features is the 3.2megapixel camera that can double up as a business card scanner. The P1 is also equipped with a music and video player as well as an FM radio. It can also stream mobile TV. For storing your files it comes with 160MB of internal memory and it supports Micro Memory Stick Micro (M2).
The P1 will be available in selected markets from Q3 2007. Prices are not yet disclosed.
