Sony Ericsson P1i Review
As a very powerful smartphone, you can excuse the Sony Ericsson P1i's boxy package, but this is a well put together phone which feels good in the hand and pocket.
Everything you could hope for from a smartphone, including a full QWERTY keypad, 3.2 megapixel camera, Symbian UIQ operating system, push email with attachments, digital music player and loads more besides.
There's a lot going on, but the icon based Symbian OS is easy to get to grips with.
From browsing the internet to taking photos to listening to the digital music player, the P1i rarely puts a foot wrong and is a significant improvement on its predecessor, the Sony Ericsson P990i.
Its strong when using the phone for the basics like voice and text, but understandably drains more quickly when downloading data over 3G.
Pros: Based on previous P-series efforts, the Sony Ericsson P1i is incredibly compact and supremely built for such a powerful multimedia specimen.
Cons: The dual QWERTY keyboard and touch-screen-driven user interface may not sit well with everyone.

Verdict: By far the best P-series smartphone we've seen, with a new-look heavyweight multimedia performance to match its business acumen.
