Sony Ericsson P990i: all work and all play.

The Sony Ericsson P990i is one of the most anticipated phone since its status as a flagship model was announced more than a year prior to its actual launch. Built and marketed as an upgrade of Sony Ericsson's highly successful model – the P910i, the Sony Ericsson P990i includes many advanced features like 3G, WiFi, FM radio and an upgraded camera module.


The Sony Ericsson P990i is one of the better looking smart phone with a clean and classy silver casing. Though the large display of the Sony Ericsson P910i has been replaced by a 'smaller' 262k colour deliverable TFT screen in the Sony Ericsson P990i, the upgraded model features twin keypad – a numeric keypad that can be flipped to reveal the QWERTY keypad. Data entry through the touchscreen with a stylus and handwriting recognition as well as simpler navigation through a jog wheel makes the Sony Ericsson P990i very easy and swift to operate.


The handset works on Symbian Operating System 9.1 and plays host to a lot of premium business features. Other than advanced personal organizer functions typical of a smart phone, the Sony Ericsson P990i is a strong voice tool with features like integrated handsfree and conference calling. The device is also equipped with a VGA camera for making and receiving video calls across UMTS networks.


The primary camera module of the Sony Ericsson P990i is 2.0 megapixel. Pictures captured with it are great to say the least mainly due to the presence of auto-focus. Videos are captured at 30 frames per second which is very good compared to 15 frames per second videos by most of 'advanced' camera phones these days. Share pictures and videos of your special moments with your family and friends through email, picture blogging or MMS. This triband handset gives you unparalleled mobile and data connectivity at amazing speed across the globe.


The Sony Ericsson P990i is one of the very handsets that has managed to find the right balance in all departments – style, connectivity, features and entertainment.
