Hands on with the Sony Ericsson P990i, M600i and W950i

Last night I went along to theSony Ericsson Indian Summer Party and I had the chance to play with the latest and greatest handsets in the 2006 line-up. First I had a long look at the new 3G smartphone, the P990i, designed for business users and to act as a complete mobile office.

It is powered by the new Symbian OS 9.1 and features the all-important push email service to try and lure in crackberry users, plus there are the usual office applications, internet browsing facilities and the handy RSS reader. It also has a really clever business card scanner that allows you to take a snapshot of any business card using the phone’s 2 megapixel camera and will read the details and add them to your contacts list.

The phone has a flip-down keypad on the front that masks the full QWERTY key set below the screen. Interestingly, inside the pack you’ll get the tools to remove the outer keypad entirely so you can just work with the QWERTY setup and the touch-screen interface. This isn’t going to work so well for people who have to dial in a lot of their numbers but when you have most numbers stored in your contacts, this does make a lot of sense and the phone does look a whole lot better without it.
