10th May - Europe : Sony Ericsson unveiled the P1 as the
latest addition to its P-series range.
Pocket sized smart phone
25% smaller than P990
Complete mobile office
Push corporate and consumer email, WLAN and VoIP enabled
True multimedia
3.2 megapixel camera with business card scanner, media player
and 512MB Memory Stick Micro
In one sense the Sony Ericsson P1 is an evolution of
our P-series smartphones, as it pushes forward the best attributes
of its predecessors, says Steve Walker, Head of Product
Marketing at Sony Ericsson. At the same time there are
also significant improvements in design, speed and battery
performance.
Building on the feature set of earlier models, the Sony Ericsson
P1 supports a wide range of push email solutions and Web browsing
applications, plus connectivity via hi-speed UMTS and Wireless
LAN (WiFi). Add to this its compact size and multimedia
capabilities and the P1 is the complete mobile office. It is
based on the Symbian operating system (v9.1) and UIQ 3.0,
an open platform that offers broad potential for multimedia
applications from operators/carriers, content owners and third
party developers.
In short, the P1 is a device as small as a standard phone
that offers flexible ways to work:
Dual function keyboard - full alpha-numeric (e.g. QWERTY)
text input combined with one hand phone usability
Choice of text input method including handwriting and word
completion
Push email enabled including support for Exchange ActiveSync
and BlackBerry® Connect
Integrated WLAN and VoIP enabled
3.2 megapixel camera with business card scanner
Large 2.6 touchscreen with a Transflective Display that
is easier to view in bright light conditions
Push email and remote working
Always being connected while on the move is now a normal part
of working life. The Sony Ericsson P1 gives you the ability
to handle your corporate or personal emails, contacts and
calendar wherever you are. It offers support for a broad range
of push email services including Exchange ActiveSync
and BlackBerry Connect and allows for remote wiping of email
and PIM data; something critical in the event of the phone
being stolen or misplaced.
The Sony Ericsson P1 lets you read and edit documents on
the move, whether Microsoft Word, PowerPoint or Excel. It
also ships with a desk stand and USB cable in-box, making
it straightforward to synchronise with your PC.
High speed connectivity
Both UMTS and integrated WLAN provide for high-speed Web browsing
and data downloads, plus email at a rate and performance you
enjoy from your office desktop. The Sony Ericsson P1 is also
VoIP enabled for making calls over the internet.
Striking visuals
Surfing the Web is intuitive thanks to the Opera Web
Browser that displays pages in horizontal, wide screen aspect.
The large, touchscreen QVGA display can be seen and used even
in bright environments due to the Transflective Display. The
3.2 megapixel camera takes great shots to store or share via
Picture Blogging and is also a useful tool for work purposes.
It does away with the need to collect stacks of business cards
when travelling. Just take a close-up shot of a business card
and the card scanner transfers the contact details directly
into the phonebook.
Quality downtime
As well as a business tool, the Sony Ericsson P1 also serves
as an advanced multimedia companion. Its music and video player
mean that you can take your favourite tunes and video clips
with you on the 512MB Memory Stick Micro (M2)
provided. Catch the latest news via the on-board FM Radio
or stream mobile TV direct to the large screen. Whichever
you choose to do, with the P1 you are never short of options.
The Sony Ericsson P1 is a Tri-Band GPRS 900/1800/1900 and
UMTS 2100 handset with Wi-Fi 802.11b. It will be available
in selected markets from Q3 2007.
