The TFT display screen of the device measures 2.6 inches and gives a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels.

Features

Sony Ericsson P1i doesn't lack in features. It features, for starters, a reasonable processor, 128Mb RAM, 256Mb ROM, and huge 160Mb shared internal memory, and it comes with a pre supplied 1 GB M2 memory card. It features Symbian 9.1 and UIQ 3.0, so the overall performance is great, and even with nearly full memory, the working is much faster than it's Nokia's Symbian based cousins.

The touch screen is the best part of the phone. It's extremely bright and beautiful, and colour accuracy is splendid. The screen is extremely sensitive to touch commands and respond instantaneously, and writing on the screen using handwriting features although requires the user to memorize the specific shapes of some characters, is extremely fun with such high quality display.

Sony Ericsson P1i comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus. The image quality is slightly below Sony Ericsson K 800i, but the colour accuracy is great, and pictures are amazingly well adjusted after being taken in a low-light situation. Auto setting doesn't produce highest quality in some circumstances, so the camera should be set manually by selecting one among cloudy, daylight, fluorescent and incandescent settings. Autofocus is among the greatest in the market. The camera records video in QVGA (320x240) resolution and quality is acceptable.

P1i is in the p-series, so it comes with quick office which allows viewing and editing of word and excel documents, and it has business card scanner and PDF viewer.

The phone has a music and video player. The music player has many settings including Mega Bass, but sadly it has no manual adjustment, but it is no walkman. The sound quality is one of the best features. The sound is loud, and of high quality, and the music player allows sorting of tracks by artists, albums and playlists. It has fewer options and features than walkman, but is adequate for all needs. It supports mp3, WMA, WMC, AAC, AAC+ and eAAC+ formats. Video playback quality is among the best I've ever seen, even better than the Nokia N95 8 GB! It has fm radio as well. The Opera 8 browser is well awesome. It also supports 3G and HSC-SD and WLAN. Some users may be disappointed by lack of EDGE.

Conclusion

Overall, Sony Ericsson P1i is a great phone, much better than P990 and other previous P-series cell phones. It's great for businessmen and others alike and offers adequate features for every user.
