Sony Ericsson P1 - First Look

Is the mobile phone market growing up at last? At last night's Sony Ericsson launch there wasn't a Walkman or Cyber-shot in sight as the phone maker rolled out four new handsets with an emphasis on design. Overall, the P1 seems to offer plenty over the...

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...

Naming the device P1 seems rather logical, since the next SE super smartphone should have come as P1000. But 1000 sounds really trite, so choosing the device model to be P1, is a good move. Rumors had it that the device would be called P700, and even...

Sony Ericsson P1 Review

We like the P1! Compared to the M600, the new P-series smartphone offers the desired high-quality camera and Wireless LAN (WiFi) which is a must in such style device. When put next to the P990, the P1 reduces the size, removes the dual-type keyboard...

Sony Ericsson P700 Is P1i - P1

The successor for the P990i has been announced by Sony Ericsson and it is very similar to the 'business phone' M600. The Sony Ericsson P1i previously dubbed the P700 comes with the exact same keypad which we saw in the M600i (QWERTY, double sided keys)

Sony Ericsson P1 Smartphone Reviewed (Verdict: Worthy Successor to the P990)

We've been eyeballing the Sony Ericsson P1 smartphone for a while now, but the reviews are finally in. The verdict? It's pretty good. Besides being smaller than its P990 predecessor, it has the hybrid QWERTY keyboard (which is actually comfortable to...

Sony Ericsson P1

Having Used All Of The 'P' Range Of Sony Phones This Has All The Good Points Of All The Phones Put Together. I Can Not Think Of Anything That Concerns Me About The Phone.

When Using The Video Camera It Is Not Possible To Keep The Light On While Filming (At Least I Haven't Found A Way!) I Had This Feature On A Previous S/E Phone And Found It Useful But It Seems They Don't Do It Anymore.
