New Phone - Sony Ericsson P1i

[kenc51]

I've just got myself a new phone!
I needed to replace my trusty Palm Treo 650 as it was a little too big and had no WiFi.

It cost way too much, but I love my gadgets - This is my third phone in less than a year

With work, I get free DSL, free hot spot access anywhere in the country and also a free VOIP a/c.
I can now make free VOIP calls when I'm in work, in the city centre and just about anywhere ;)
I can also get mail e-mail easilly and not have to deal with the painfully slow GPRS network

This is my first post with my new P1i

that looks sexy.. how long does the battery last? When you text message someone does it show the entire conversation like a Treo 650 or each individual message like a Samsung Blackjack?

It shows the whole conversation like the Treo ;)
You can also set the display to portrait view, great for moves and webpages!

I don't know the battery life yet, but I have Wifi on and it's set to check for mail every 30mins between 8am and 11pm.
I just got it yesterday afternoon (4pm - 24hrs ago), so from a full charge and wifi constantly on checking mails, my battery now stands @ 64% (I'm also using it a lot since it's new)

I don't intend on leaving WiFi on though. I'd say battery life is way better than the Treo and is compairable with standard GSM phones (with wifi & bluetooth off)
It cost me €475 though (I've sold the Treo and my old Sony W300i for €200)

I just got a new SE this week too ^_^

Though i went for the k850, instead of the smart phone p1.

The 5MP cam was the selling point for me, and i managed to get a cracking 24month contract with o2 at: £20/month, with 200mins free calls and 400 free texts, which should be more than I'll use ^_^

The k850 wouldn't do for me, I need wifi for e-mail & a qwerty keyboard.
I got used to the keyboard on the Palm Teo and can't go back to the keypad again.

My battery is now @ 10% from a single charge on Friday, which is very good considering the extended use it has gotten!
