Description: The Sony Ericsson P1i isn't all business. For your down times, you can use the built-in music and video player to listen to your favorite AAC, MP3, MP4, and 3GP files. Other goodies include an FM radio (requires the use of the included earbuds), RealPlayer for streaming media, a MusicDJ app for creating your own ringtones, and two games: Vijay Singh Pro Golf 3D and QuadraPop.

The P1i is also equipped with a 3.2-megapixel camera with up to 3x zoom and four shooting modes, including video. For still images, you have your choice of three quality settings and you can add various effects, such as sepia and solarization. There is a flash, but you can adjust the white balance settings, as well. In video mode, you don't have quite the same breadth of options, but you do get four frame sizes.




Picture quality was impressive with sharp definition and accurate colors.


Picture quality was excellent. The clarity of the photos was impressive, but we were happier with the fact that the colors were pretty true to life. We've seen too many camera phones produce images with some kind of orange or yellowish tone, but not so with the P1i. Unfortunately, we didn't enjoy quite the same quality with videos as they appeared very grainy.

Performance
We tested the tri-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) Sony Ericsson P1i in San Francisco using T-Mobile service and call quality was good. We enjoyed crisp audio and plenty of volume, but we detected a slight amount of background hiss. It certainly wasn't enough to distract us from the conversation, and we were able to interact with our bank's automated voice-response system without any problems. Meanwhile, our friends also reported similar results and said that they couldn't tell we were using a cell phone. The speakerphone was also decent with clean sound and good volume. We were able to successfully pair the P1i with the Logitech Mobile Traveller Bluetooth headset.

General performance was a bit sluggish but much improved over the M600i, and we didn't experience any crashes. Still, there were times when we tried to open and work in various apps and were met with a "Busy" message. For a phone, the P1i was quite impressive in the multimedia department. Compared with other smartphones we've seen, we enjoyed some rich-sounding music through the handset's speakers and through the included headset, despite being uncomfortable. Video playback wasn't quite as good since there was some blurriness, but audio and images always synced up, so for short stints, you should be OK.

The Sony Ericsson P1i has a rated battery talk time of 10 hours and up to 18 days. The talk time is exceptionally high; we're still conducting our battery drain tests, so we'll let you know if it lives up to its claims as soon as we have final results. According to FCC radiation tests, the P1i has a digital SAR rating of 0.98 watt per kilogram.
