To the questions below:
The P1i is much better than the p990 (havign used both). Not only is the form factor much better, the keypad is more comfortable for me and since there is so much RAM, you can have a ton more applications running than any other phone. I haven't found a better phone for multitasking. even with the camera, web browser, music player etc... running in the background, I noticed no slowdowns and the phone has never asked me to close an application.
The screen is very readable. Using it at 66% brightness, its readable under a bright indian sun.
You can use alphanumeric entries and there is a setting to see which number is calling.
I haven't had the word editor close yet, mainly due to the larger RAM so don't expect the phone to quit on you like the p990.
Haven't used the headphones, but the loudspeaker music quality is great. Bass buzzes a little, but its comparable to the n95(though not as loud)
Worst thing about the p1i is the lack of a remote control application. I got everything else(I can ontrol my pc from anywhere which is fun)
Between the P1i and the blackberry cruve, the p1i has more features easily. And the keypad is just as good(comparing to both my dads suretype blackberry and my moms qwerty blackberry)
@Tief
Its a tie IMO between the p1i and e90. P1i is nicer looking, and has a better, ore accesible feature set. The e90 has a bigger(internal) screen and qwerty keypad.
The phone doesn't have a 3.5 jack but it supports a2dp.
@christian30
Your message send settings are probably set incorrectly. Go to your service provider and check it out.
@Ian jones
It has a very bright dual-led flash. very high quality
@sm
the p1c doesn't have wifi and english support whereas the p1i has english support and wifi
@abd
Regarding the wifi, the difference of using 802.11b and 802.11g is negligible on a phone. I have confirmed this with developers. Nokia supports the extra wifi, but they don't have any phone that will actually take advantage of the extra bandwidth.
Wifi reception is very good, however you should dieally use it with a linksys or netgear(or other good-name routers) because the p1i is having compatibility issues with my router. But on other routers it works wonderuflly. Webpages load quickly.
For voip, there are a lot of possibilities, though I myself use fring.
You can change the font size in quickoffice. The pdf reader works well and while I haven't tried out the email yet, I have confirmation that it works very well.
I'd recomend this phone as a business/high end luxury phone.
to the guy who ask3ed if messenger is compatible: You can install fring(free) or buy IM+(you can get this free with the includedd software points)
As for the guys who keeps saying the n95 is better. The n95 is a different idea alogether. Its a multimedia phone and all it has is a better camera aand gps. You can get a better gps add-on for the p1i though.
The p1i has a better form factor, has a better keypad and a touchscreen. Plus UIQ is a better platform IMO. More stable.

Hey guys! Don't be stupid again! I've been seeing comparison of P1 and N95 which is totally irrelevant and totally crap. First all, P1 is intended to be use as a business phone while the N95 is more of a multimedia phone. N95 may have been the phone of the year for 2006-2007 and the breakthrough phone for Nokia as it REALLY doesn't have a equal rival in its segment and P1 is not is this segment. Moreover, what I can say is that P1 has greater built quality as N95 as N95 have moving parts as when you drop both phones, N95 has the greater chance of breaking into two big pieces. As I have been reading lots of REAL reviews on P1 and N95, N95 does seem to have better signal reception than P1, meaning that if you are on the cell edge, chances are, N95 has still signal bars for you to make calls while P1 will be having a "No Network Coverage" message. Considering the price here in the Philippines, the introductory/initial price of N95 was at 40K pesos, and now, already at 27K to 28K, with a marginal of depreciation of 12K to 13K within 6mos time, while P1 initially at 30K, now 23K only after one month. NOW, if you will excuse the chase, have PEACE within yourselves if you really want a P1 or buy another model like N95 or even E90. Ciao!

Been using the P1i for 2 weeks now and I am fairly satisfied. I have been seraching the all-in-one device for the last 2 years and I think it's finally here. This phone is sooooo much better than the P990. I haven't turned it off since I bought it and it hasn't reset itself once, unlike the Nokias that I've tried.

I have a "message time bug problem" with my P1. "Message Sent time" is correct, but "Message Received time" is 4 hours behind, and "Delivery Report Time" is 1 hours in advance. My friend has a same problem with his P1, and other guy with P990. I heared that it has something to do with location. I am located in Toronto, Canada. Can anybody help me? I tried to upgrade firmware, but it doesn't help.

guys i just bought this phone over 3 weeks ago and let me tell you .. it totally totally rocks
this is my first se phone and it certainly exceeds all my expectations
the qwerty keypad takes some time to get used to .. but once ur accustomed to that .. ull be typing faster than the normal multi-tap keypad .. the 2.6" screen is really nice and responsive .. and watchin divx clips on the screen in landscape mode is amaazinnn
the camera is great for a 3.2mp and captures decent shots ... the bundled headsets are a BIG disappointment though .. also note there is no 3.5mm headphone jack on the phone itslf so u have to go and get a converter ... or buy a headset which has the converter bundled ... like hpm 70 ... then u have to get a decent sony/senheisser (not the sony-ericsson ones) heaphone to get decent music quality
wifi setup and net surfing is a breeze .. and surfing in landscape mode on a touchscreen is a truly rewarding experience .. ull forget the pain in the a** non-touchscreen browsing experience .. pop mail support is great and gmail works on this like a charm ... btw ive yet to try vpn and push mail on this
lastly i hate the lack of software and games on symb 9.1 UIQ3 .. thats compared to the nokia s60 series ... but i guess thats a thing ull always have to live with .. and se provdes all the basic software right out of the box
call quality and reception strength is better than most nokia phones and ALL motorola phones .. and the best part is it does not hang ... ive had this phone for 3 weeks ... no bsods or wsods ... even if i have 20 apps runnin .. battery life is good too ... 3 days with abt 1 hr of wifi everyday and another hour of calls ... abt a day with heavy wifi usage and a lot of calls ... ive never had to recharge it twice in one day but u night experience that if ur gonna be using wifi all day and listenin to a2dp music at the same time
to cut it short as a business phone and as a multimedia device im loving this .. cheers se

to DagMX:
Hi, I would like to ask you for your opinion. I am deciding between n e61i and se p1i. I can say I am a SE fan. But I held in my hand e60i and itlooks good and I was suprised how it works, but I had no chance to try p1i.
Actually I am looking for the phone with good wifi connection (e61i has 802.11 b/g and p1i has only the "b" version). I do not know if it really matter so much. I will either looking for the voip. But in the basic I need to work a lot with the texts( office documents - I would like to ask you if you can change the size of font in the quickoffice ) pdf formats, email, internet. At the moment I have w810i and I think it is brilliant phone so I am not looking for the mp3 player and for the voice recorder. hte quality of camera is ok for me what I saw on the review.
Could you please advoce if the p1i is a good choice?
I really like the se phones, but never had a phone like this.
Thanks lot.
