P1i is the new smartphone from Sony Ericsson, filling the gap between the older P990i and M600. Released to the market in the end of July 2007. I got mine 2nd August.

Pros

  • Two-three letter tac-tile keyboard feels comfortable to use
  • Smaller and lighter, slicker line
  • New Symbian 9.1 core system, UIQ3 GUI
  • Faster, more responsive
  • More available memory for open applications (128MB vs 64MB)
  • Flush backside, nothing sticking out
  • Package included free Wayfinder GPS unit, charger, and software activation key
  • Higher capacity battery by default (900 mAh vs 1120 mAh)
  • New hook for straps on the side
  • Better camera shortcuts, light, zoom, gallery, resolution, etc shortcut
  • M2 512 MB memory stick included
  • New messages finally has a 'Would you like to read this message'-prompt when new arrives

Cons

  • Jog-dial button still hard to push, built too deep into the side
  • Not that easy to go back using the touch screen for lefties
  • No easy way to lock the phone, lock slide-key gone
  • Crashes and reboots occasionally, I see firmware updates..

Summary

After using the phone for half a day, I'm very satisfied with the phone. I think I will keep this one for quite some time. All the minor quirks and kinks are gone, and the phone is as slick as you want it to bee. Still no EDGE, but who cares, Wifi WTF.
