N95, P1i and E61i

Always interesting to see how the N95 weigh up against sort-a-like devices.

All about Symbian put the Sony Ericsson up against the Nokia N95 and E61i

As to how the P1i compares to the other two ‘class of 2007′ smartphones: well, it doesn’t disgrace itself. My own, utterly personal feeling, and one made stronger by my recent hands-on week with the Apple iPhone, is that Sony Ericsson’s implementation of a UIQ 3 interface has more than its fair share of kludges. Not that the two S60 devices are free from quirks, either. Both Symbian OS-based interfaces could do with a heavy streamlining session involving myself and an education-sized set of marker pens….

But the P1i succeeds at nearly every aim that it was set. Compared to the near-disaster that was the P990, the P1i has a much better display, a great keyboard, a better camera, tons more RAM and it’s lighter and slimmer. So it’s not perfect yet - which device is? It’s still Sony Ericsson’s best smartphone to date.

Back in the days I used to be a big fan of Sony Ericsson, but the slow response of their OS became a huge irritating factor… Still having some feelings for their design and intention I kept an eye on this P1, but not yet impressed…

What do you think of the conclusion AAS is giving so far?

    While two of my brothers are SE guys, i never owned one mainly because i am a traveler and 90% of SE phones are not quadband. Hence i stick with Nokia.
    I was impressed with the learning ability of T9 in SE and it think it was better than Nokia. It would learn non english worlds based on how frequently you typed them. Nokia S60v3 kind of does that but not quiet as well.
