Sony Ericsson P910i Review

Phone rating:

Review: September 2004.

The Sony Ericsson P910i is the latest in Sony Ericsson's P-series of phones that combine PDA-style functionality with advanced mobile phone technology. The front keypad can be removed to reveal the huge internal display, offering a touchscreen facility and handwriting recognition using a specially designed pen, as well as a full QWERTY keyboard. The P900i doesn't just look like a PDA, it has many PDA-style functions. For example, its email manager can be synchronised with Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes, and can handle attachments including Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. At the same time, it includes an integrated video camera, MP3 player and downloadable Java™ applications. With a range of connectivity options including Bluetooth™, the P910i provides an excellent platform for working (and playing) on the move.

Physically, there is not much to differentiate the P910i from the P900, except that the keypad has been replaced with larger buttons that give a more positive response. The P910i is slightly thicker and weighs in at 5g heavier, but at 155g it is no heavier than the current generation of 3G mobile phones.

The P910i uses the same Symbian operating system as its predecessor and shares many of the features of the P900. However there are quite a few new features that make this phone more than just a minor upgrade. First thing to mention is the new QWERTY keyboard. The numerical keypad flips down to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard on the reverse side. The user now has a choice of text entry methods: QWERTY keyboard, predictive text using the normal keypad and handwriting recognition using the screen and stylus. The user interface can be driven by touching menu icons on the screen or with the jog dial on the side of the phone.

On flipping down the keypad, the full size of the LCD screen becomes apparent. The screen has been upgraded from 65,000 colours on the P900 to 262,000 colours. When you consider the enormous resolution of this screen (208 x 320 pixels), you have virtually the best display on any mobile currently available. Only the Sharp GX30 can match this screen, and that phone has a fraction of the features available on the P910i.

Another new feature is push email. Emails get sent automatically to your phone - there's no need to download from a mailserver. You can synchronise email with your PC via the Bluetooth connection.

The final change of note is the increase in the internal memory from 16 Mbytes to 64 Mbytes, which is very welcome, given the functionality of this phone.

The battery life of the P910i is slightly worse than the P900, but should still give a decent number of days use between charges, depending on how much use is made of the PDA-style functions.

All things considered, the P910i is a substantial improvement over the P900 and pushes the capabilities of the P-series forward significantly.

Features of the Sony Ericsson P910i include:

  • Colour display (262,000 colours; 208 x 320 pixels)
  • WAP 1.2.1 (GPRS), built-in web browser
  • High Speed Data (HSCSD - up to 28.8 kbps)
  • E-mail (compatible with MS Outlook and Lotus Notes)
  • Integrated VGA digital camera (640 x 480 resolution)
  • Integrated camcorder
  • Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) & Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) - send pictures, sound and video like text messages

  • Symbian operating system
  • Picture phonebook
  • Speakerphone
  • 64 Mbytes memory plus external Memory Stick Duo™
  • Downloadable polyphonic & mono ringtones
  • Bluetooth™, infrared, USB & RS232 cable connectivity
  • Stereo headphones
  • "Flight mode" option for use on aircraft
  • 3D games & downloadable Java™ applications
  • Wallpaper & screensaver
  • Calendar, contacts, voice memo, synchronisation with PC
  • Size: 115 x 57 x 26 mm
  • Weight: 155g
  • Battery standby: 400 hours

I have been using this phone for 2 months now and its amazing,inspite of not being a megapixel camera the photos look greath,thanks to the large screen.The MP3 player is good and once a song is loaded,you can use it as a ringtone,alarm signal etc.But there are some drawbacks or rather areas of improvement.For this price, the SE should have a megapixel camera, the battery standby should be drastically improved.Further there should be some sort of protective layer or cover for the screen as i have already got a lot of scratches inspite of extensive care that i take.I had to struggle to read the sms on my SIM, infact i could read the messages on the SIM only by fluke, i still cant figure out how to accesses the messages on the SIM.Last but not the least the processing speed should also be increased.All said and done,this is one of the finest smart phones available in the market, infact beter than the Nokia 9500 ,especially the size and some breathtaking features.

Some people gave the P910i a poor rating is mainly because they don't understand the techology and they don't know how to use the phone properly. For example, one way to avoid draining the battery quickly is to reduce/adjust the screen brightness via the control panel. There are so many things that you need to know before you can make full use of the Symbian OS. It's a trendy phone with lots of features that are built and designed for intelligent people to use! If you are not one of them then use something else that's offers less and more simple and easy to use instead! You can be Cool or lose out!

I upgraded from a siemens SX1 which uses symbian S60. this phone uses a more recent symbian version and i must say i was so dissapointed. i should have gone with my gutt feelings that anything sony is overpriced and at £500, i would've found more use from a macdonalds happy meal toy. What's the point of having loads of features if the phone hangs when u try using it; the simplest task takes ages to do and this is not helped by the extremely slow processor. Good marketing sony but u released a really crappy phone this time. Glad to be back to my SX1

I've been using my phone for almost 7 months and I'm still not that satisfied with the performance as well as the features. Maybe I still need to know more of what this phone can really do. See below... * Battery gets drained so fast. * No proper clousure of an opened applications. It's good that I hve SMAN to end-task those and free up memory usage otherwise my phone will get hang but I don't want doing this every day. What I want is when I close the application, that's it. * There are few functions in flip-close like - if u r n the address book, there's no menu or function that you can add new contact. - if u r n messages, u can't go to your drafts as it's normally goes there a certain period of time if you are creating message and not pressing any key. You can only retrieve it if you will flip-open the keyboard. * Very expensive phone without even a radio or a zoom when taking pictures. * Can't open all the files in Phone and Memory Stick when connected to the computer like the applications installed and only the default like in the Filemanager in the phone such as AUDIO, DOCUMENT, IMAGE, OTHER, VIDEO are only visible. * Not good to use QWERTY keyboard. These are my observations. I don't have to tell the advantages as it should have lots due it's expensive cost.

It is a likeable phone and a PDA but I did not like the way it forced me to have my contact details in phone's memory. If you do not have your contact information in the phone (and just in the SIM), the phone won't display the sender's name when you receive a text from someone who's contact detail is in the SIM's phonebook; it will only bring up the number! If you are happy to have all your contact details stored in phone's memory then, this isn't an issue. I had two issues with saving the contact details on the phone; one is that I cannot take the SIM out and put it in a smaller Nokia when I go out in the evenings and expect the phonebook to be up-to-date (unless of course, I copy all the details to SIM every time I take it out) and the second, S-E give you the ability to have multiple contact entries (e.g. email address, landline number, fax, etc.) for every contact. This means, if I were to switch from S-E to another make in the future, I will lose all these additional, valuable information. I'd like to be able to select default memory through ~settings - may that be phone's or SIM. Then, there's the expensive Memory Stick (which I obviously knew about before getting the phone!). Liked the wheel, screen and small keyboard. The phone went back after 14 days!

Sony Ericsson P910i. Well where do i begin. I recently purchased this phone from my local O2 store. I did weeks of research as £500 is not little money to spend on a phone. I used to have a D500, but then decided that it wasnt right for me, if your after a cool little phone, then its a good choice, but with me always wanting to show off, i had to have the best thing money could buy. Thats when i came accross the P910i. I was aware that their are other great phones out there such as the Nokia 9500, but that seemed a little inconveinent. The P910i was a phone that stood out from the crowd. It had everything a mobile phone could ask for and more. It had T9 predictive text, touch screen handwriting recognition, and if that wasnt enough, they even chucked in a qwerty keyboard. - ok i have heard people complain about the qwerty keyboard being too small but i find it to be well position and responsive. The touch screen is one of the best i have seen and experianced. It is very responsive, very clear even in direct sunlight and exceptionally good quality. A screen this good and large makes your 640x480 pictures look great on your phone. And with support of larger pictures on screen, the quality of 4 megapixals pictures transfered over is brilliant. The phone is of high build quality and designed to last. - I very unfortuntely dropped mine from a good height onto concrete and is still in full working order. The features on this phone is unbelievable. Fair enough, most of you out their will probably only use 20% of the features this phone has to offer. With support for files such as word, excel and even pdf readers, you can take your work and notes on your handheld device. This phone has full bluetooth, infrared and cable functionality. The bluetooth has never failed me on any device and can even be used to control my laptop from another room providing you purchase the right software. It comes with a cradle that is used to sync with your computer, files can be uploaded or downloaded from and to the P910i. Their is a decent internal memory storage of 64mb within the Sony Ericsson P910i but has the capability to accept 1GB! cards - although only 32mb is provided. Being symbian operated, the availability of software for the P910i is unreal. You can get almost anything for this phone, whether you want digital editing software for your pictures or whether you want full GPRS satalite navigation, it can all be purchased. The gaming quality on this phone is insane thanks to its huge screen and excellent audio quality. The phone has a built in mp3 player, and with memory card expansion, a fair amount of music can be carried around with you where ever you go. The mp3 files can also be used for any event on the phone to ringtones, alarms, messages, emails and many more. The mp3 player itself is of excellent quality even with the standard headphones provided. The sound quality is as good as on my ipod which is outstounding providing its only a phone. The quality of the videos on this phone is also no suprise. With a crystal clear 256 thousand colour screen, you can enjoy watching videos on your handset on the move. There is even the possibility of watching a whole compressed movie providing you have the space, although i do not have the memory card space required to comment on watching a full movie on the move. The P910i has to offer so much more than just being a phone or a PDA. Its more than that, it has the features a business man could not do without and the style that keeps a student such as myself unashamed to show off. The phone is not too big considering the facilities it has to offer. Think about how big a standard PDA and then compare that to the P910i and it wil make it look small. The weight of this device is not much different to the current phones on the market and will happily fit into your pocket. The stylus provided with the P910i is happily tucked away and the camera has many settings to take the perfect picture whatever the condition. I'm a very happy customer, and with a power hungry device, i'm quite happily charge it every 2 or 3 days considering the use of the phone and features. I understand that its a lot of money to spend on something you may like, i advise you to have a look at your friends or have a good look at it in store. You will not be dissapointed. People saying that its too slow just dont know what they are expecting from a mobile phone. They compare the speed to PDA's which are specially designed to be a PDA and have more ram and power to run applications quicker, but for a phone and a PDA, its really good. I highly recommend getting this phone because you will not be dissapointed. Everyone thats seen my phone has fell in love with it and just cant believe the stuff this thing can do - controlling your TV, DVD player, PC, HIFI system etc with this phone can be reality providing you have the software. I could write forever about this phone and what it can do, but i'm sure i have given you enough of an insight to make up own minds about the P910i.

This phone rocks, the only downsides it's got are the battery life and (particularly) that the processor is a little slow - but then again, it's got so much functionalities that it's not that the processor is slow, it's more than I'm asking a lot from it... I didn't think the qwerty keyboard would work with my - well - sized thumbs but it does just enough. The PDA interface is good, not as good as my former Clie - but I'm not missing anything from what I used to have. Go get it if you can pay it.

I put off upgrading in an effort to wait for the Nokia 7710. At the time I was using a 7600 (the 3G, semi-smartphone) and had set everything up to synch using the PC at home, so figured that the 7710 would save an awful lot of time and hassle. However, Voda told me that the 7710 wasn't going to be out for quite some time, and it was going to have a massive £170 price tag on an upgrade, so I looked at what else they had. The SEP910i had caught my eye before, it's hard not to with that size of phone - but I knew someone who had the P900 and had loved it, and felt that the SE bluetooth stack was much more reliable (Nokia's have issues with leaving the conection with headsets permenently on, rather than saving power by turning the connection on and off as and when it's needed) anyway, so what the heck. That plus its much slimmer £50 price tag meant I felt not too worried. I've now had the phone for most of a month so I can say that while to start with, I struggled getting more than a day without charging, I'm now getting several days. This is because I've slowed down with just 'playing' with the phone, and also realised that the number of applications running in the background has a direct influence on the battery life. Programs like Control Panel stay open once you've finished with them, and are only 'flushed' from memory once you've filled the memory, and you request a new application to start - at that point, the new application 'kills' the one that's the least used/oldest, and then loads the next one. I found that by using Sman (a free program manager) you can kill the applications that you aren't using (how fast do you need Communicam to load, anyway?) and thus make the processor work less, and keep the battery life going longer. There's a lot of people out there berating the size of the phone - yes, I agree it's big, but hey, if you compare the size of this to the Nokia 7610, it's only thicker by virtue of the flip keyboard. That phone is seeing a LOT of purchases, and people aren't complaining about the size of that. Another joy of being on Voda, is they are currently running a promotion that allows you to buy £50 of software at Handago for free - So I managed to pick up an EXCELLENT bit of software called RemoteP900 - it lets you look at the screen of your phone from the PC, if you have the docking station set up. Every phone has faults, and the faults taht people have listed above/below seem reasonably valid (It's mostly a two handed affair, can't text vCards, trying to do symbols with the stylus is difficult) - but I wouldn't agree with the keyboard being useless - It's never going to compete with a full sized PC offering, but it's better by far than the 'bubble' of the M2000 (HTC Blue Angel), and for writing words for SMS I find it OK, even though I have large fingers. I like.. no, I LOVE this phone. It's been much better than any of the Microsoft PPCs I've used, and it's just on the limit of size for keeping in your pocket, without being too small to cause problems of use. Every phone I've owned has had foibles, and this is no exception. Learn to embrace the foibles, and you'll learn to love the phone. K

First of all, inside 4 months the screen was full of scratch marks on the area where I write, this was despite using new stylus repeatedly. I have now replaced the screen after paying USD 150. The worst problem is with syncronization. Firstly the date appeard wrong (time zones change while synchronisation)and secondly it refused to sychronise the calendar in either the desktop or phone. I am going to by an O2 soon if I cannot find help to sychronise the phone. Can someone please advise. Thanks

Nice phone- compact and light compared to MS Win models. Battery lasts for at least a day and a half. Biggest pro: the OS practically never hangs or freezes! Cons: the devils hides in the details - Synchronization takes forever; filters to sync data from/to Outlook are really bad - the mobile phones end up in Mobile Work field, there is no birthday field in the contact (hello SonyEricsson- this has been discovered ages ago in the most primitive GSM phones!), some Calendar events are not synchronised with the phone (Birthdays for example- one would think SE programmers did this on purpose). Handwriting recognition has a really surprising high error rate. Honnestly it is even not handwriting recognition but a sort of Palm-grafitti like system. Ergonomy of the interface is relatively low, compared to MSWin phones and the additionnal skins that the SE offers are not always compatible with the 3-rd party software... In short, has a lot of shortcommings, but you can at least phone with it and receive calls, without having to look every 3-4 hours whether your phone has completely frozen.

First of all, I am surprised by the abundance of negative reviews of the P910i. One must be aware that it is a hybrid PDA-cellphone. It is unfair to compare the P910i with either a pure PDA or a pure cellphone. I read all the negative reviews here before I purchased the P910i. I have to admit that I was more attracted by its appearance than its functionality when I decided to buy it. The P910i is reminescent of the Sony Z18, which I once owned and used and loved, about five years ago. But surely the P910i looks like a giant Z18! After all, I just wanted a cellphone with some PDA functions and I wanted a phone more than a PDA. I kind of hesitated but still test-drove the machine in one shop after another. I am glad I test-drove it, because the test-driving removed my doubts and I decided to buy one. Many people complained that the P910i was not so user-friendly. But I find navigation through menus and sub-menus reasonably smooth. I can access all the everyday functions freely and quickly. Keys are easily locked automatically or manually. I don't think the phone will accidentally dial somebody just because you put it in your pocket. If it does, perhaps you should get to know your phone better. Some people said the QWERTY keypad is so tiny that it is useless. But I find it reasonably helpful when I have to type a lot of text. Don't compare it with your full-sized computer keypoard. If you have slightly protruding finger-nails, you can type text quickly and comfortably. The P910i is the perfect balance if you want something more than a cellphone and less than a PDA. It is well-designed though ergonomics leaves to be desired. It is not a gadget that you can use with one hand comfortably, even when you just want to use some simple functions such as making a phone call or look up a phone number. Also, the display layout of some functions is too simple and rather boring. The words on the "desktop" are not bold enough and you can't check the time or date easily. But then, I always bear in mind that this is neither a full-sized PDA nor a simple cellphone. Overall this gadget offers what I want and I am willing to bear with the little imperfections. I had the Sony Clie PEG-UX50. My first and only PDA. It's slow and bug-ridden. By comparison, the P910i is a more user-friendly machine. Forgot one thing. It would be nice if the stored name of the recipient instead of the phone number could be displayed when you're sending SMS messages. I don't remember phone numbers after I have stored them in my sim card. Displaying the phone number instead of the person's name will fail to let me know whether I have chosen the wrong number or not.

The 910i is just a the product of a mega marketing company and although it would be a good phone for kids who want to impress at scholl, its absolutely overpriced and overhyped for people who want a bluetooth/PDa organiser/web access.I can't stop anyone from buying it but by all means make sure you look at all other alternatives first. You never know, it might be the one for you, but certainly not mine. GOOD LUCK.

I got this phone while I was on vacation during the yule in London. I must say I am really impressed with the functions and as at now I believe is the best phone that I ever had. Most people who catch a glimpse of my phone are so appalled and can't really believe their eyes. Kudos Sony Ericsson and I just can't wait to see the newer version.

This is by far, the best phone i've ever had, seen or tried. It has the best combination of PDA / phone. I've read some of the phone reviews here and I must agree that the camera quality is bad. On the other hand, you don't wanna buy a camera, otherwise you wouldn't be here reading for a phone. This phone's camera was surelly built to take a picture of the person you are going to add to your contacts so that you don't forget him! also I must say that this phone is though (i've dropped it more than once and still it works). it takes a while to adapt, but after you do, you won't want anything else (only maybe the P920... when they make it that is. lol) One device, every possibility. :)

I got this Sony 910i couple of days back maybe 20-25days, found it amazing apart from one thing i.e the QWERTY / Virtual keyboard doesn't show even when u go into new message. At that point I have to turn it on & off. Never got a chance to use sync and download new software. Hope it works well it really cost me fortune.

I am a P900 user and on the whole am happy with it because it has so many functions and still knock spots off phones comming on the market now. Having read the reviews on the P910i I will not be upgrading to it. I am about to swap my P900 for a new one for the third time in a year because of irritating software problems including the phone totally wiping all my diary entries for nearly a year! It seems that the new one has even more issues and would not touch it because I have the P900.

Great smartphone. Had a few smarties before (moto a925, nokias 7650, 7610) none come close to the the 910! Bought it primarily cos it syncs with macs, But UIQ platform, 3rd party software & the package software make this the best phone ive had so far. Minuses are, camera res and maybe lack of wifi. I can live without those for now though.

I had a Sony-Ericsson for more than 2 months before I gave it up. The phone as such is fairly good but the software was extremely unstable. I saw frequent reboots without being ask to perform them but worse was unstable syncronization with Outlook. Here several appointments could be lost but it was not possible to find the cause of the problem. The software in general simply seemed to be sent to customers for testing which is not acceptable considering the price.

This is an excellant phone with great accessories bundled. I got the sync station usb which connects with my work pc. This synchronises with outlook everytime I plonk the phone in and it charges at the same time. Works first time every time. you can transfer files to and from pc but it is slow via the sync station. Much faster on bluetooth. I transferred a 5 meg mp3 file in around 2 minutes to the phone using bluetooth. The sound quality of mp3 playback is remarkable for a mobile phone. Also is shipped with stereo headphones - excellant. Menu and the writing using touchscreen takes a little while to get used to but once you get going it redefines sending sms. Forget the keyboard, just write on the touchscreen. I am planning to remove my qwerty keyboard completely. Camera is not great, they should have included the 1.3mega pixel camera. Software applications can be loaded onto the phone installed and uninstalled. The features of the phone do not suit the click camera,sms phone users. If you do not even know what outlook is don't bother, there are other phones that suit you on the market. The screen is great, you can actually see the text on the screen in bright sunlight, most other phones will have to be sheltered to actually see what's on the display. Great phone all round.

I have had several Phones, Pocket Pc is one of them and I never had any issues with its software, the phone, and the promises made for what the phone does was kept. If you can not believe that someone would give it a one star then you do not understand that many use this type of phone for multimillion dollar business and if the phone has software issues, as this one does, it makes the individual less productive. If you just want a mobile phone you can get that for free. Do not buy this P910i phone!! There are many software issues that need to be fixed. The reviews are mostly Sony Advertisements. If it did what Sony advertised it would be great but let me assure you, after many hours with Sony Ericsson customer support, it does not. For those of you who want to synchronize your contacts with subcategories to your phone the Symbian operating system and programs do not work as advertised. Neither does the P910i software work for pictures and MP3's. I have 2 Pentium 2 Computers, XP, 2 gigs of memory and have had other phones that worked seamlessly with outlook and other programs. A class action lawsuit needs to be filed soon if Sony does not solve their false P910i advertising and resolve these issues with a patch as I have been told they do not intend to do so.

After returning the nokia 6630 which I have also reviewed on this site, I pondered long and hard on changing networks and getting the sony ericsson s700i. Its a good thing I went for this instead. I have had it for 4 days now and can honestly say that there is no better phone on the market at the moment. Ok, the camera and picture quality isnt the best around but it is still pretty good. What has really blown me away though is the sound quality of the mp3's I have stored on the phone. Totally awesome if you're an R n B /Hip Hop person like myself. The handset is not too bulky either and the other applications such as quicksheet/quickword are really smart. The phone comes with 64 mb built in and a 32mb card which is ideal for most people. Although I stuck in a 1 Gig card and now have close to 230 tracks on my P910i!!. Now to the looks, its a sexy phone and well built so dont be fooled by its appearance if you have'nt seen it up real close. You can also take off the Qwerty keyboard if it bothers you and believe me the phone looks just as sexy without it!! The reception itself on the handset is crystal clear. Personally, the only thing I feel that Sony Ericsson have wrongly omitted is an FM radio but when you have a few hundred mp3's the remorse is soon forgotten. This is my second fone from Sony and they really do know how to make em!! I would have given this phone more stars had I been able to. Go buy it you wont be disappointed trust me!!!

Got this phone for the second time as thought the first one was faulty as it was so so slow. The replacement is still so so so slow. The response from the phone when attempting to open apps is laborious. When synching it takes ages and ages and even makes the fan on my laptop start ( this usually happens when its struggling) but it rarely struggles. To sum up : this phones a nice toy/gadget but anyone who wants real functionality look elsewhere. Sony are obviously a huge marketing machine and they have overhyped this phone. Really its only a expensive phone (and a big at that)with some poor bolt ons.

Great phone. All round outstanding. I sold my new Dell VGA X50 pda off once I got my 910i. No need for it anymore. Audio quality is great. Still a few minor bugs in the OS such as not allowing internet connection via bluetooth, screen gets confused between a non exsistant virtual keyboard and selection tabs often. You end up with a period on a text input instead of it registering the okay button. Camera isnt that great, only average VGA pictures, but if you want perfect pictures buy a real digital camera. If they can get the bugs out of the OS and add a bluetooth setting to the internet options its about as close to perfect as you could hope for.

It's an excellent phone. The only thing that I find ABSOLUTELY CRAZY is Sony Ericsson's policy to release three different versions of P910: P910a: offering tri-band GSM 850/1800/1900 MHz, available in North and Latin America. P910c offers tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz available on the China mainland P910i: for all remaining international markets and also offers GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz. I think this is simply idiotic, unless there is some technical reason, that I personally cannot think of, that Sony Ericsson does not produce this phone quad band - 850(formely known as 800 band)/900/1800/1900, especially since there are other quad band smart phones available on the market much cheaper than P910.

I also didn't like the first extra page they have added in it when u opens the flip, the image in the background is some wot stretched. Qwerty Keyboard Frankly I have not found this Qwerty keyboard at all useful a big waste as does not light up as there is no light in the keyboard so in the dark u can't use it rest u can understand.

Big Problem that I faced It was giving error in viewing the pictures as I can see all the pictures in the thumbnail and when u click it to view full screen the screen is getting freeze, the only way out was to close the flip and again open it but still u cant view the pictures. As I was a p900 user I thought after a year ill be getting lots of changes in p910i, I very unhappy with this phone as the color scheme, layout, battery is the same and as I fink not any major changes or add-ons. I thought Sony Ericsson might do some homework like u can't select all and send as many files as u want.

I 'upgraded' to this phone from a Nokia 7650 then to a Nokia 6600 and now the P910i. Unfortunately i have only been disapointed with SE's latest attempt at a smartphone. The main problem is the complete lack of 'ergonomics'. I'm now convinced this phone was styled after a 1986 Volvo 760gl!!. The flip keyboard is as much use as a chocolate ashtray, you need fingers like chopsticks to actually use it and most anoying of all, the action of 'flipping' the keyboard open does'nt even answer or end a phone call!. The menu system seems to be designed to take you as many taps on the screen as possible to accomplish even the simplest of tasks and you cant even re-write contact details back onto the sim card! As for synchronising, the pc suite software supplied fails to 'see' the phone if you have any kind of decent anti-virus/internet security active on your pc (on my personal pc anyway) and once you do get the phone connected, it takes ages to transfer files back/fro. (granted that's not necessarily SE's fault but its still frustrating all the same) I could go on but i can hear my P910i beeping to warn me that the battery is about to die again so must go and charge it up.....again! (twice in 36 hours of light use) If anyone from SE happen to read this, please, please take note from Nokia, they know how to create a real 'smartphone'!

The Sony Ericsson P910i is an improved P900 offering more or less the same kind of functionality in a mobile phone factor (albeit a rather large one). The P910i comes in just a little thicker than the P900, as well as 5 grams heavier. Visually, the most obvious difference between the 910i and the 900 is the keypad.The exterior keypad now has bigger buttons, which make it a lot easier to key numbers or punch out text in SMS. At the same time, the keypad also flips down to reveal a QWERTY keypad. The keypad is small and the keys are pretty crammed together. But with a bit of practice,it shouldn't be a problem to punch out a short email with the QWERTY keypad. The flip down pad is also sturdy enough to support the weight of the entire phone,so there's no worry about breaking the pad. The other major difference lies in the internal memory,which has been upgraded from a paltry 16MB to 64MB,enough for quite a few Word/Excel/PDF/MP3 files.Of course,if you run out of space there's still the Memory Stick Duo card. Out of the box, the P910i should already have enough for most basic users.There is support for Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes desktop PIMs,as well as POP3 and IMAP email support. Additionally, the P910i can also handle Word, Excel and Powerpoint attachments. Music playback is also available, with support for MP3 files (none of that ATRAC3 nonsense here). These can be stored in the phone's memory or on the external memory card. More importantly, the P910i can also run the increasing numbers of Symbian and Java software that's available for download over the internet. With more and more software becoming available,you should be able to do everything on this smartphone that you can do on a PDA.Although,having said that,the P910i will still not be able to compete with the fastest PDAs (those running high speed XScale processors for example)where speed is concerned. The design has matured, the software library is now huge and the screenis bright,sharp and well-lit.Those looking for PDA-functionality but don't mind a smaller screen would be well-advised to take a long,hard look at this model.

Had the phone now for a couple of months. Use it to organise my life - and it fills that position admirably. Admittedly the battery life is poor when compared to my old Nokia 6310i, but is better than the similar MPX200 and it has much greater usability than the latter. Best used in conjunction with a PC running Office: synching mails, appointments and contacts with Outlook is simple and powerful. Splash out on a usb charger to charge the phone while it's in the sync station (I'm never away from a PC for more than 2 days, anyway). Hand writing recognition is the best I've used - I haven't had to change my writing style at all (other than refraining from using joined-up writing). Supplied software for viewing Word, Excel and PowerPoint files is extremely useful. Definitely recommend installing Opera - until we get Firefox for Symbian, anyway. Re: previous writer's comment on keyboard not lighting up, mine does - is mine a later iteration?

This phone has some excellent features, but cheapness /attention to detail on Sony's part and battery life let it down. I love the screen, the video player, the MP3 player, ease of transferring data via bluetooth, IR or USB. What Sony have failed to do is think about functionality: - Calender function - there's nothing for specifically for birthdays or anniversaries. - No private protected data area (eg Nokia's Wallet) for personal information - The synch software is not a touch on Nokia's - with my old T68i (hateful phone) I had to get 3rd Party software to manage the messages, doesn't seem to be anything for the P800-910i there yet. -The alarm doesn't work if the phone is in silent mode. Not much use if you're using it as an alarm clock when away from home but don't want calls waking you - yes you can set the ring-tones to silent - but rather fiddly. Nokia's even work when switched off - therefore saving battery life overnight. - Limited ring and message tones (most of the ones there are fairly dire) - however as it will play MP3's this is easily overcome - No receipts on SMS unless using it in PDA mode and setting it manually. Why did they miss the global feature for this - very very annoying!! Summary............. As I said, I love some of the features of this phone - fantastic. BUT with just a bit more attention to detail it could be a 5* phone easily - Sony you really do need to take a leaf out of Nokia's book and add some finishing touches. Bundling applications for things such as birthday's that you have to pay for is just MEAN! My T68i almost put me off Sony Ericsson for life, returning to Nokia. As yet the jury is out on my next phone......though now after a week since new it's faulty GRRRRRR, oh well can happen with any device.

I am i big phone lover.. After having a P900 with all the extra's i got my hands on a P910i. yes more memory and a fancy qwerty flip "which you need supper thin fingers to work it", its a P900 (lamb) dressed up as mutton. The phone was so so so slow i thought it was out of memory and i mean slow. Most of the appliancies that come with the phone are only trails not full programmes!! Do you think you are going to use 1Mg of memory. If so you need a life!! I have sent back the P910i and gone back to my fast P900 (that works)

It was cool. With all the new features added, it is more superior to the p900. Great phone with superb display and sounds.

I just bought the phone recently and this could be my last phone ever. I have progressed from nokia's 6600, to p900 and now the much lauded and significantly improved version, the p910i. i just wish that SE modified the camera to 1.3 megapixel just like the s700i. wifi is also a very welcome addition. that would have made the p910i THE perfect phone.

I have upgraded from a P900 to a P910i. I find no real benefit in the upgrade & to be honest my P900 opened applications faster. I find the keyboard difficult to use & it does not light up at night so now winter is here & it is getting datker sooner the keyboard is of limited value. The bluetooth shortcuts are a little better but that is about all. Considering the hype this is not a major end user upgrade. It may be technically better but as a user i see no benefit. Stick with the P900 & see what comes in the future for now.

Despite being an incredible 'phone in terms of ease of use, functionality, and features (which would have given it a 5 star rating in my book) the appalling battery life costs it two stars. On a Friday afternoon I charge the 'phone to full capacity and take it home for the weekend. With moderate usage of the 'phone and PDA functionality, no Bluetooth, and very little GPRS, the battery is dead by mid afternoon on a Sunday.

This phone without any questioning has got be one of the best around now. I love the QWERTY keyboard, it makes things so much more quicker sometimes, what with work and the kids. Anyhow. A great buy, but I'd say research it well, as it's a big buy. a very big one.
