Reviews of the Sony Ericsson P1i (Unlocked)

CNET Review
The Good: The Sony Ericsson P1i features a beautiful touch screen, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. The Symbian smartphone also offers robust e-mail capabilities, productivity apps for the mobile professional, and good call quality.
The Bad: The P1i doesn't support U.S. 3G networks and performance is sluggish at times. The interface can also be overcomplicated, and you're limited to Sony's proprietary headset and expansion cards.

Review Summary: On the whole, then, the Sony Ericsson P1i is a so-so business handset. Connectivity is plenty fast enough thanks to the 3G provision and there are more than enough distractions, but we wouldn't honestly choose this phone over any number of solid Windows M
