Sony Ericsson P1i

Does anyone have one of these...? And if so - are they any good? And do they have a qwerty only key pad..?!

02 are offering me one to shut me up cos my fith N95 has died and I'm complaining like there's no tomorrow!! :j

The qwerty keypad on a P1i has two characters per button - so it's not a full qwerty keypad. Not sure if you have to get used to this but it does seem strange.

Does it have the keyboard that most phones use...?

1 = abc, 2 = def, etc etc...?

Just weighing up my options before 02 fob me off...

googling would easily bring up a pic and show you exactly what the keypad is like http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/seethephone/p1i?cc=gb&lc=en

Another question - do I have to !!!!!! about with the pen thingy to use the phone? As working in a garage may end up with me loosing it. Oh, and the pen...

I've got the predecessor to the P1 - the P910i - fantastic phone.
I'd love a P1

You don't have to use the stylus, most of the features can be accessed with the jog dial or the keypad.

The QWERTY keypad takes a bit of getting used to but it's not that bad once you've got the hang of it.

note, although the P1i has the Symbian OS, N95 S60 software won't work, you need UIQ. I think it's a good phone, but as always, it's horses for courses.

I've got one and I think it's the dogs danglies.

Rocker type keys are very easy to get used to, you get a spare stylus and mine came with the wayfinder Sat Nav pack (you have to download the software) but you get the bluetooth GPS reciever & registration code.

You also get a lovely suede pouch to keep it in.

All in all, I am very very happy with it - but you might have guessed that!

I'm still pushing for the SE K850i tho...

They will give me the SE K850i. But want to charge me £59.99. !!!!!!!

I'd already paid £89.99 for the N95 as an upgrade in June. So now, i'm having to pay again for the phone I want as my original phone I wanted was crap and broke 5 times!

I've not finished moaning to 02 yet.............
