CNET Asia Review

The good: Compact design; 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus; responsive interface; FM radio and music player; office productivity applications; support for Exchange syncing.

The bad: No HSDPA; QWERTY keyboard takes some getting used to; thin stylus; requires optional accessory to use standard headphones.

The bottom line: The P series is now slim and compact but still remains feature-packed for business users. Those considering one will just have to get used to the uncommon space-saving keyboard layout.

A phone with everything for everyone.

Feb 25, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Dual-rocker QWERTY keyboard that is easy to get used to, high-set of features, very good camera, sporty build.
Cons: Phone could hang at times, the touch screen interface is not that user friendly, lack of 5-way navigation key.
Opinion:
This was my previous phone, and it has been a very good phone to own. It has all the features to satisfy every sort of customer, even though it doesn't necessarily achieve perfection in every field.
The QWERTY keyboard, though dual-rocker, is very easy to get used to. Though if there were 5 way navigation keys for this phone, it would have only meant better.
A Dual LED flash for the camera is also a good addition. The video recording is at 15fps which is bit of a let down.

Overall, a phone that one shouldn't regret buying, even though its quite outdated.

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: No lag with latest firmware,Wifi,3G,FM radio,3.2m cam etc
Cons: Wlan only 'b' and no 'g', therefore, not every wifi spot could be use.
Opinion:
Highly recommended! You could even install walkman 3 touch player and lot more useful third party application such as google map,document to go, coreplayer and etc to help in your business and multimedia usage!
