Sony Ericsson is making some quality products. The difference of their phone with Nokia ones are just the difference between quality and quantity. I am having this phone for few days just as I loved my W810 am getting fond of it. Find all the functionality is just working fine. Touch screen is pretty well responsive. Signal strength is also good. Voice quality is loud and clear.
My W810 is made in Malaysia and really the build quality is excellent hope the present unit will be same' though it’s made in China.
Sony needs to make some improvement in their web browser.
Having a problem if anyone can render some help, my keyboard types Arabic characters only by default, actually the phone was Arabic version. I tried master reset and by loading the generic firmware for English but still problem remains same. Off course I can use the touch screen key boards in English.
Any help how to remove the Arabic language will be appreciated.
I am trying to get in touch with Axiom the warranty provider but any individual solution will save my hassle for taking it to the provider.

            This is a stunning phone. Can anyone tell me, though, if the phone AND memory card should be visible when I connect it to my computer? I have another Sony Ericsson, and when I connect it, it finds the memory card (eg F drive) and the Phone memory (eg G drive). On the P1 I only get one removable disk. I have tested the memory card on the phone (formatted etc) and it definitely reads it (the phone).

                I have had this phone for over a month its way better then a LG Viewty... it has been very handy... it has tons of features... i was able to download over a dozen games and other applications for this phone. I am very satisfied. Yes the pen broke within the month but i bought bunch of spares and they didnt cost hardly anything... I would recommend this phone to anyone, looking for good phone.

                    Many owners have reported problems and it turns out that the firmware is to blame.

                    Problem is... you won't have a phone for ~2-3 weeks so you'll need to buy a second phone for use or use an older phone which still works!

                            lian, 09 Aug 2008question.. is p1i.. is better as a mp3 player. because im p... moreThe P1i has a decent music player v.2.
                            Had my firmware updated and v. 3 was Not part of the upgrade.

                            The controls are on the touchscreen so it's rather frustrating especially if you listen to audiobooks and want to either fastforward/reverse to a specific spot, which you can Not!

                            If all you want is a "decent" media player in a phone, then the P1i is fine!

                            BUT... my P1i will NEVER replace my iPods since the iPods have MUCH better controls and user interface and media software (i.e. iTunes) than SE.

                                    Look and Benchmark test on this website comparing P1i the P990i and the N93(which has the same processor as the N95)
