Channel 5 (in the UK)'s 'Gadget Show' has done a web-only video review of the Sony Ericsson P1i, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses in the four minutes of detailed footage. Quite critical in the end, but it's good to see some mainstream coverage of a UIQ 3 device.

gaget show - great show 😊
Don't believe all you hear - there is no 70 character limit and no way to change it if there were one (is there?).
His complaint about push email preventing desktop syncing with outlook is silly as the push client obviates the need for desktop syncing. And the iPhone has no push solution or over the air syncing of contacts etc.
WiFi criticism is fair enough but I do wonder whether he tried more than 1 access point - my WiFi has worked faultlessly.
He mentions Quick Office as a plus point - I'd say it's better than nothing but only just - Documents To Go is a must have for any serious Office work.
Finally the keyboard - I think most people who have a P1 or M600 feel this is the phone's strongest point - it far quicker to type on than (say) and e61i or Blackberry and will knock spot off the iPhones virtual keyboard. Opera vs Safari is a no brainer - give me the iPhone (with its larger screen) every time - but against the s60 browser? Much closer call...
