Sony Ericsson last month released its 5th-generation P-series smart-phone, the P1i. Having tried it out, I am convinced the 'P' stands for powerhouse.
Fast forward The P1i offers significant improvements in design, speed and performance from its predecessors - the P990, M600 and the W950 models. Measuring 106mm x 55mm x 17mm, the P1i is about 25 per cent smaller than the P990, which makes it easier to grip and slip inside your pocket. One-hand typing is a breeze with its alphanumeric keyboard, on which most keys represent two letters of the alphabet. To select letters, you press on one or other side of the relatively large keys. It also has a touch-screen for data input with a stylus.
