Well before i said that i need it to wait for my phone, well now I can tell that is working really really good. also its amazing what it can do. Wi Fi perfect it connects with no Problem, type with this phone is like be using my laptop, the browser works great camera yes great, i honestly had a little problem with the sync for a moment then i realize what was the issue and fix it right away. i dont know anything else works great and for those that have say bad things about this phone i think that next time You should prove more and well try different stuff because everything works great even i used with Fring and have 100% of call with skype out and have been chating and talking with at least 4 to 6 people at the same time just 1 at the time in Skype so far but soon i will find the way to have this with more people.
Hands on with the Sony Ericsson P1i
Phone isn't that bad but it does have problems!
1. Music player does NOT support audiobooks even in mp3 format!
- Tried several times with various audiobooks loaded onto 8GB microsd card and music player will NOT recognize the files!
2. Software update is a JOKE and will NOT work!!
- Tried several times and failed to update the phone's firmware.
- STUCK with v.1.x as originally shipped and NO local stores will perform update.
3. Sony USA will NOT support imported phones
- Already contact cust. support to confirm!
4. Battery life sucks!
- Shut off all other features esp. Wifi and just use the phone.
- This will make battery last ~2-3 days before recharging!
- Battery DOES show memory effect so MUST fully discharge then recharge (i.e. properly cycle) the battery!
5. Sony uses Proprietary sockets so 3.5mm adapter is needed for using regular headphones!
- Recharger uses proprietary plug also!
- Why can't Sony just use a standard adapter like every other company does with their phones?!
6. Edge connection is slow as hell but Wifi is slightly better.
- Opera browser is Slow as hell. Better to download/upgrade Opera Mini!!
7. Damn phone freezes especially during standby
- MUST remove battery to "reboot" since the OFF button will NOT work!!
8. Hard to find games for P1i though slightly easier for other applications
9. Sometimes the screen is Overly sensitive when talking so the cheek might touch the screen to start an application and cancel the call!! How frustrating and annoying!
10. Stylus sucks and made of cheap material. Already bought a 10-pack in case it breaks AGAIN!
- Touchscreen is Not good compared to Apple's iPhone (but then, NO phone's touchscreen is as good as Apple's iPhone).
11. Overall, this is one pricey phone that's not worth the money with all the glitches!!
Good points...
1. Good call quality
- Speaker phone volume MUST be kept <50% or else it'll distort
2. Good images from digital camera
- better than most other camera phones since it has 3.2megapixal camera though no camera lens cover!
3. Hmmm... Can't find anything else good to say.....
Avoid this phone as I wished I had... Wasted over $400 on this PDA/phone!!
