p1i not so sure

Pros
qwerty keyboard is a genuine advanced concept in miniture keyboard interface each key doubles up, ie q andw, by rocking either left for q, or right, this is a great innovation in mobile phones, and the new models in the market who have opted for the fill scale slip out keyboard have, in my opinion, got it wrong. Sure it takes getting used, thats probably the reason for the disdain, but once that hurdle is achieved this keyboard simple cant be bettered. anyway this phone has many ways to enter.the size is really nice and robust, easy to hold, and aesthetic. i have received many compliments on this design.

Cons
1. the toggle wheel. this is intermittent. I can not tell if it is the software, not responding to the hardware, or a hardware malfunction. If you are really careful, it will work ok. However in the calender and in the camera, it is unpredictable//////
2. some times the phone ends a call because my cheekbone accidentally touches the wrong button! /////
3.the camera takes too long to boot up, you might as well forget impulsive photography./////
4.the camera review system sucks! slow stupid, does not use the touch screen, opts for menu instead. a headache sometimes, better to leave on one setting and forget trying to change it, particularly if in a hurry./////
5.there is no way of accessing your address book from with in the send meeting request , (see outlook meetings for details of this.) a useful function that more and more businesses are using i find, only if it worked. I have to cut and paste the contact manually, a multi step task, how can over look this! /////6.the default mode for the keyboard, ie text or numerical, is non intelligent, if i am on the phone to a call centre and then asked to press one for x, or 2 for y, the phone is set in text pressing one sends an e or an r. the question is if i am on a call, surely the default mode of the keyboard should revert to numerical./////7.you can opt to receive email headers only, but you can not reply to an email this way without first downloading the entire message. so if someone sends a huge file with something like here is the video of the gig last night, you cant then return a thanks without downloading the entire email. /////8.repeat appointments i n the calendar can not be set to quarterly./////9.flight mode ends blue tooth. so ends music listening too./////10. while clearing the messages from my infolder, one ticks those one wishes to delete, but can often mis the check box and therefore load the message to view, returning to the inbox, removes the ticks from the others. this is easy to do, as there is very little space in the tick box.////it is not possible to tick the messages that you want to selectively download from reviewing email headers alone. you have to download one at a time./////pressing the speaker button when ringing does not always enter speaker./////no way to change the default browser to opera from sony's own./////dont bother updating the firmware it is simply too long winded and you have to erase the phone memory first. you can back up and then restore, but this had problems for me and i quite honestly have only noticed a small increase in web speed as a consequence and the whole process was frustrating. it also looses the email account settings so remember to write down first./////


Conclusion
despite the cons, i'm quite a big fan of this phone. honest. its just that the snag list above should be corrected by now. i use it as a business and personal phone but i doubt if any serious business would think of replacing there blackberry for this. ive had quite reliable use in the two years that i have had it. so i do recommend this phone to you. but, its getting old now, so if you are good at altering the settings and find it for a reasonable price go ahead an buy it,

Verdict
4 (out of 5)

P1i near perfection

Pros
Just about everything it claims to do

Cons
Battery Life is unstable, Video Streaming is impossible

Conclusion
If you don't care about video streaming, This is phone is perfect for you. It is by far the best I've ever used.Does everything that's advertised. Battery life is not 10 hours talk time (more like 6) but it certainly trumps any other smartphone out there.
