Sony Ericsson P1 review: A smart sharp-shooter
The Sony Ericsson P1 is an exciting new smartphone that is to be included in Sony Ericsson portfolio. Powered by Symbian OS and featuring a QWERTY keyboard, a touchscreen TFT display with QVGA resolution and a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus, it represents the next level of the development of UIQ smartphones. As such, it seems that the Sony Ericsson P1 will be the flagship of Sony Ericsson smartphone line overrunning even the Sony Ericsson P990 and we were more than curious to find out how it performed in real life.

Excellent phone!!!, a lot of phone makers wants to make a phone like this. Is obvious that this phone isnt compete with the ugly N95 because; first of all, yhe P1i hasnt the poor battery of the N95 :), but is a lot better than all other N series, better than N73 (I am completely sure about the camera: it will be a lot better than the N73), better than N80 and other nokia, motorola and samsung phones.

This is pathetic attempt by SE to rival the N95. Why no EDGE? Why no GPS? Why only 3.2MP? This is not how a flagship phone should be!
EDGE? does every single people use that? Wifi and 3G is moresnappy and is used widelier than Edge so why bother to remove that feature? you gonna play for the feature you dont even used always. No GPS? there is tomtom navigator and is already widely vailable and is better compared to the Nokia's GPS built in. and Hey 3.2mp is al least can par n95's camera, see the camera review on N95 and witness how poor it deals with the top 3.2mp cameraphone K800. N95's cam is just a gimmick and even F700 can beat it's 5mp cam. maybe it's better to say that F700's cam beats K800 not N95 to beat K800.

I like phone design, but hardware inside is really sucks.
Apple would hit the market and totally kill SE market share on the music and business phones market.

This phone is great. I think that it is far better than n95. Why? Because it has touchscreen functionality and everyone who used this certainly know the benefits over a conventional phone. You can do anything 5 times faster!!!

great design, but i reckon the keyboard will suck, just like m600. same sh*t, different look. and to mention, why don't they pack more technologies into the fone, it's not like they can't do it, awwww

I really hope this isnt really a successor to the P990; I'd consider the P1 inferior both in design & features(with the exception of the camera & memory).

i like the look of it.. but i'm skeptical now, aft getting burnt by the p990 'experience'
pros: finally voip support!
cons: no 3.5g? what are they thinking??
question mark: streaming tv as in iptv?
i can live with a 3.2mp camera, (K800i SE Quality) is more than enough for me. i also hear the qwerty keyboard is very handy once you get the hang of it. i wonder if the standby icons can be customised by user as in the m600?

No EDGE, no HSDPA, still wifi 11b (when most phones already have 11g), non-removable keypad, reduced screen size from p990, uses the same 208 processor of the p910/990, triband and not quadband, only 15fps video... this P1 is very dissappointing! I think I'll go buy an N95 instead.

If only it had a xenon flash and more memory then i could scrap my k800i and w950i and just run this one. HSDPA would have been nice too...

p1 or nokia e65 or nokia n95? I HAVE to be able to make VoIP calls. which should I get? I know I can use gizmo on nokia, what can I use with this? N95 seems way too expensive so I might like this better than the E65 which is more reasonable in terms of $$. anyone?
