Still.. they could have worked at least a little bit with the error- messages in the message- app (..among other things). |

@s32: I TOTALLY agree with you. I'm the 1st one to notice anf thrumpet bugs and annoying things but P1i is the best P series to date. It still has that memory problem like M600i and P990i ( it's not showing and not giving errors nut that's the reason it won't surpass my 9 days barrier) but still, a nice piece or equipment I won't change soon.
@nipsen:yes, I had to guess and observe what was the problem - ''unknown error'' is no way to let the user know what happened.Big deal to implement something! You should know better:)

Sorry but I have to disagree. At the time, with the then available technology, the p800 was the best P seiries to date, closely followed by the fantastic P900 & P910. Since the 'implementation' of UIQ3, however, it's my oppinion that thngs have taken a serious turn for the worse.
Pardom me for being pedantic, but I think it would be fairer to say that the P1 is the best UIQ3 phone to date, from SE, but how that rates as a benchmark against the competition?.......... 
To anwer the question posed by the OP though, yes - I like my P1, but I find it dramaticaly flawed, just not enough to spend £300 or so on an alternative.
If money were no object, I think that I may well have a different phone by now.
Whereas in the past, I jumped at the chance of owning a p990 (after the great experience of owning a P910), and then at the P1 (to get a P990 that worked, had reasonable system resources etc.), I shall be rather more hesitant about my next choice (I so want the P5 to be amazing, but will study the user reviews carefully...)

...which is ?
GW or branded version ?
I'm asking because your firmware seems to be messed and only operators are capable of turning a firmware into sh*t.

@AD, i don“t see the P1 has flawed, but has a very good phone with some flaws...regarding competition...at the time i bought it, and even now, i don“t see anything that can give me the same - nokia does not make anything like it (i want qwerty + touch screen), and i just don“t get along with winmo. So, i recomend this phone to everyone i meet, and it will surely last alot in my hands

I want it like the rest of my sony ericsson phones.
I want it on silent so I can see if I get missed calls in the morning, but I want my alarm to wake me up.... seriously, if I don't want it to wake me up... I wouldn't bother setting an alarm... I think alarms should override silent mode... it does on ALL regular SE phones... So i think it is a flaw... |

@ares
I believe then that we broadly agree, I did say that I liked my P1, I just wish I could like it a whole lot more is all. I agree that the feature set can't be matched at the moment, but to me it feels like a great idea that has never truly been realised. The best I can say about it is that "it's ok", but I want to be able to enthuse, and bore all my friends stupid by telling them how wonderful it is. |

..it's been over ten minutes already....(!) I hope nothing's wrong.
You know - it's not a very good situation right now for PDAs. On the one hand, no mobile operator or manufacturer will ever accept the need to move on to data- based services and flexible subscription fees instead of payment by button- press.
While on the other, it's highly unlikely that there ever will be a competitive phone with an open OS... that won't be crippled into utter uselessness. So I'm not really sure what to say - the p1 is the best out there now.. but it's about.. half of what it could be? A nice gadget, instead of plowing the way for mobile computers?

@AD, agreed it could be better...that“s the problem with SE and UIQ right now, decent products, but LOTS of potencial that is not being used

@AD:I have to say I meant the best P to date feature-packed.I had P910i and it was awesone.Not so many bugs,did its job very nicely.But P1i just works.It does good browsing,nice camera,awesome keyboard,large touchscreen,awesome messaging system with email and all.And the bugs aren't so many or crippling.Of what it could have been it's another story and it applies to EVERY consumer product.Wrong world pal:) |

@701: well, it's more a software thing. If SE did some very simple few things, and put the focus on software development for mobiles like no one else in the mobile business - like, with putting two non- marketing people in charge of something that's more long term than a few weeks. And then got at least one person actively involved in patching the weaknesses the developers face with the UIQ implementation on their phones - then they would basically dominate and revolutionise the mobile market completely.
And that's not - you know - ten years into the future. That's three one- year salaries as an investment for taking over the PDA, multimedia and smartphone market.
It's not like this hasn't been almost about to happen for the last seven years, either.

No offence but I have to say that sounds like the very defeatest, led by the nose attitude that lazy manufacturers and developers are counting on to maintain their profit margins. Whereas I believe that, as in the PC market, we are entering a new era of consumerism where people are geting wise and saying "why should I upgrade when what I have basically does the job?", and so it's going to take a whole lot more than a new style flashy case to get people to part with their cash.
With the P1, however, I think Nipsen's hit the nail on the head by saying that it wouldn't take much to turn the platform around in terms of viability, underpowered though it is in my opinion
You can call me a fantacist if you like, but without dreamers we wouldn't have any of the technology that's so ubiquitous today...

Nice discussion going on here.
IMO OS is more or less fine, but the processing power is on the bare minimum for it...
