Product Description
Amazon.com Hands-On Review
The Sony Ericsson P910 is the latest incarnation of the company's popular P-Series of communicator style smartphones. Like other smartphones, the P910 runs a real Operating System (OS) and works much like any computer or personal digital assistant (PDA) would; that is to say, you can purchase new software to be installed on the device in order to add new functionality. In the case of the P910, the OS is the Symbian OS, currently the dominant smartphone OS. As such, there is a large developer community and an equally large catalog of software available for the device. The beauty of this is that you get all of this computing functionality in a device that weighs under 5.5oz (155g) and measures only 4.5" x 2.3" x 1" (115mm x 58mm x 26mm) in size.
Type emails on the integrated QWERTY keyboard.
Record still photos and videos with the integrated VGA camera.
Two other very significant upgrades include support for Memory Stick Duo Pro memory cards that are available in capacities of up to 1GB (as opposed to 128MB for the P900) and the addition of a full QWERTY keyboard. The QWERTY keyboard is on the back side of the numeric keypad, which has a new hinge that allows you to support the entire weight of the device from the keypad without worry. The new keyboard is cramped, but for many people it will be much more convenient than having to use a stylus and handwriting recognition or the virtual on-screen keyboard.
How will you use your P910?
The P910 includes good Bluetooth support, which lets you make use of wireless headsets and other devices, such as Bluetooth GPS units. The built-in antenna is a reasonable performer and works on networks both in and outside of the USA. The P910i works on T-Mobile and all international GSM networks while the P910a variant will work on Cingular, T-Mobile, and on many international networks - but not all of them. You'll also find a decent speakerphone and an uninspiring VGA camera that records still photos as well as videos.
If you are a mobile warrior, a good email client that supports POP and IMAP email access, a great web browser, and a new suite of software for reading and editing most Microsoft Office documents will keep you in touch with your business as well as your friends and family. When you are just trying to relax, however, the ability to play MP3 files and the inclusion of a stereo headset in the box will let you put those large capacity Memory Stick cards to good use.
Sony Ericsson's P-Series handsets are great performers, but they are starting to show their age a bit now that we are seeing literally dozens of new Microsoft PocketPC based PDA phones on the market. But even though the new devices might be faster and more powerful, few manage to balance being both a good PDA and a good phone as well as the P910 does.
Pros:
* Both QWERTY keyboard and stylus input
* 12+ hours of talk time
* 1GB memory cards available
* Large, bright, colorful display
Cons:
* Expensive
* Keyboard is very cramped
* Slower than PocketPC devices
