Sony Ericsson P1 Candy Bar 3G mobile phone handset reviews and tariffs

+ Design and look

- The material and the finish (final touch) are not ideal. Keep in mind that this is an A Grade phone, the material used and the ouside look should have been enhanced; at least to the standard of P9901. The camera is as well is not ideal. had Cypershot facility been added this phone would have been matchless.

+ The mobile phone features are user friendly and has greatly improved since the P900 series. I have been using Sony Ericsson mobile phones for more than 3 years now and even bought the Sony Cybershot mobile phone because of the picture quality of the camera. P1i is the best in the market for me at the moment.

- None

+ Everything, its grand! I like the touch screen, overall its just really easy to use.

- Perhaps the keys are too small, probably better if the buttons were individual for each letter.

+ Smaller than P990i, good design, 123 & qwerty integrated keypad, back button in better position, internet actually works, Wifi is fantastic, great battery life - 6hours on internet and lots of calls and still some left!

- Stylus for touch screen is accurate, using fingers is not. iPhones touch screen is better prepard for finger navigation.

- Both pens broke too easily less than 3 weeks after the phone purchase .

+ A lot of features in a very compact format, good screen and is fairly intuitive. The predictive text is way better than on my K800i and as I got my first Palm over 10 years ago the handwriting recognision is easy too!

- To select silent mode requires 4 clicks and unless you have small fingers you have to use the sytlus.

+ Keyboard is a joy to use, overall handling, weight and feel, perfect. Good logical sequence to menu. Feels ROBUST

- It doesn't easily connect to the PC
Return button on touch screen should have been placed on the lower right hand corner (for right handed people) or Lower left hand(let handed People) This can be done at set-up where the phone will ask you for your hand writing default.
Typically you grab the phone with your hand, its a bit of a stretch to tap on the button at the top right corner.

+ great video quality
wifi makes searching the internet quick and easy
ability to add more software

- sometimes it can be awkward when your in a hurry
hand writing recognition is not that good

+ i like the look of it.

- very difficult to use

+ use of stylus on screen. good sound. ecogintion and editing of common document types

- email slow, though I am biassed having had a blackberry before. web access slow. i expected 3 G speeds. sms requires more steps than other phones. keyboard v fiddly, though this may be my lack of dexterity

+ its reale a good pda

- no

+ looks Moden

- Key pad, using the stick is difulcult

+ Its a very powerful phone with lots of features, but is also reasonably compact.

- Can't think of any.

- stylus is cheaply made and broke within 1st week of use... other than that v happy with the P1

+ It's a great little phone with all the features I require, push email, camera and organiser

- The screen is very dim even on the highest setting in normal daylight. I have it set to auto lock with a pin code this is too short a time before activates and it is fidderly to get the number in , while using it in daylight
