I have now lost count of how many phones I have had. After my poor, poor T630 had a nasty sand incident, which was then worsened by some reddragonflame repair work-gone-wrong, I decided maybe I should take my business to another phone. I was coming up to 18, so I thought, hmm, I think it'd be good to get a contract.
Being the clever bugger that I am I figured that getting an O2 contract phone would mean that when the contract expired and I got to keep the phone, I would be able to use my O2 genie sim card if I didn't enjoy the contract. So, with this in mind I trotted off to the O2 store in my local city centre.
After once more having to fight my way past harassed shoppers, scary two-foot tall toddler treading on my toes, elderly people driving bizzarely fast on little OAP scooter things, and (slightly worryingly) a selection of absolutely mahoosive birds, including a vulture, I finally got off the bus.
Now, I have been thinking of getting a PDA for a while, because frankly they look cool. I have loads of pictures, videos, music etc. on my PC and would love to carry them with me. So when I saw a phone and a PDA together in one slightly-bulky-but-oh-so-sweet looking package I nearly dribbled with anticipation. The only problem with it was a hefty price tag of £80 pounds followed by £34 a month for the next year. Bearing in mind that this came with a helluva lot of texts and minutes, I just decided to get it. So after wiping my chin, I went to the counter and bought it.
First impressions were mixed. As with most bulky phones it looked good, but never the less was a bulky phone. It had a funky style flip which, when up, made the phone look like a traditional mobile and when down revealed a small QWERTY keypad (which, for those who like me didn't understand this, means that the first six letters are, similar to a real keyboard, QWERTY) allowing easy typing or texting. The screen also goes from a small window-style view onto a large, clear touchscreen which takes up a good 5/6's of the phones face. This also allows for widescreen viewing of videos or full sized viewing for photos. The phone itself is a nice gentle shade of silver, and when the flip is removed (more on that later) is considerably smaller and lighter, as well as looking far cooler with a touchscreen keypad.
Oops, I seem to be jumping ahead of myself a bit here. Before I carry on raving about how good the phone is, what say I get back to basics and tell you what come in the box with it? Well, as well as the phone and battery and charger there are also a load of O2 leaflets and an instruction manual that is nearly as thick as the holy bible. There are also two stylus' (I don't really know the plural) which are basically pens that you use on the touch screen. There is a carry case and a screwdriver for converting the phone into a PDA style device, and a memory card (32mb) to add to the already pretty chunky 62mb phone memory. On top of all this, just to really add to the wow factor, it contains not one, but TWO CD roms and all of the necessary equipment to hook your phone to the PC and download or upload music, videos, photos, whatever you want. Whew.
After plugging in to charge, I noticed the first problem of any sort of significance.... it does have a habit of coming loose from the charger. This means that if, for example you have pets, you have to keep it out of reach and check it occasionally to make sure it hasn't been shaken out of its socket. It charges quickly though, although you can't lock the keypad. The battery also dies fairly quickly, but it is simple enough to charge it each night overnight.
When the phone is switched on it makes a strange gurgling noise which I assume is a reference to the wierd bubble fetish that O2 has in its adverts. The first time it is switched on you have to do various tasks such as setting the time and date, and "calibrating the screen", which takes a suprising amount of man minutes. The easiest thing to do is set it to factory, because seriously, the slightest judder results in a messed up navigation setting and therefore a lot of hassle to correct.
From here there is enough to do to keep anybody happy. As well as programs such as quickpoint, quicksheet and quickword which are effectively Microsoft Powerpoint, Excel and Word respectively there is also a video player (with widescreen!), music player and picture viewer complete with zoom. The games aren't as varied.... there are only two. Chess, which is stupidly hard to the point where you swear the computer cheats, and Solitaire which is fantastically addictive and fun. As far as I have found, there are no games available to download anywhere, so it gets a slight thumbs down here.
The programs are easy to use, and work just like their microsoft predecessors. For example, with quicksheet you are able to use long and complex strings of sums and codes to create large spreadsheets, and with quickpoint you can view Powerpoint presentations set up on a computer. Quickword I personally found a bit pointless, since there is a notepad known as "jotter" which allows not only word documents to be written and edited, but also pictures to be drawn and it is only marginally harder to use.
Text input is an interesting feature on this phone. Not only is there a keypad like any other phone and the QWERTY keyboard, there is also an impressive handwriting recognition input mode. Although it is very strict when it comes to the exact shape the letters have to be, you eventually get the hang of it and it proves to be very fast when it comes to writing texts.
For media, as I mentioned previously, there is a video player and a picture viewer as well as a music player. The video quality is decent with the widescreen mode, and the recording quality is the best I have seen. The pictures look equally stunning, with no apparant resolution limit for viewing. However, the camera quality is slightly dissapointing. I found it the best of all my old phones, but considering some new phones have 1.3 megapixel cameras for a lower cost it is still an annoyance. Nevertheless, 640x480 looks good on phone and computer alike, and when zoomed in on the phone it looks fantastic. Music quality is ok, nothing to get overly excited about but not bad either. The preset ringtones are imaginative and funny - having some random woman singing "Ring Ring Ring" just never grows old!
UPDATE ------------- Well, it seems that talking about all of these great features got me sidetracked.... someone quite rightly pointed out that I hadn't even mentioned that basic necessities of a phone. So, after punishing myself severely, I have returned to add yet more height to this monster. First up, the quality... the sound quality of the phone during conversations is fantastic, as clear as a landline phone (although of course, this depends on the reception). It doesn't crackle, and the person on the other end seems to be able to hear perfectly.
The quality is increased with the help of the handsfree kit. The set that comes with the phone has two ear pieces, similar to a set of headphones, that fit neatly into your ears. This means that you can listen to music and watch movies without disturbing anyone else. The mouthpiece is situated in such a way that it hangs against the side of your face, allowing you to talk perfectly normally when walking about, driving, or just lounging when you can't be bothered to hold the phone.
The phone book is impressively designed. Effectively, you can have infinite contacts through storing them on the PC or SIM card, and transferring them whenever you want to. You can also customise each contact, adding notes and photographs. You can even select your own ringtones for each person if you want, or set up special business "cards" for yourself.
The phone really comes into its own, however, when hooked up to a PC. Allowing the transfer of your own MP4 movies and MP3 tracks, on top of transferring JPGs back and forth, the software is easy to use and the connection looks impressive with a seperate stand to keep the phone steady. Transfer is very very slow, slower than any other device I have seen, with the average song taking a whole 10 minutes (!) to transfer completely. There are also a few more programs that can be downloaded from the web, such as more image editors, and even a SAT-NAV program. The phones memory is also boostable by memory cards, and it supports up to 1 gigagbyte! Since each card is very basic slot in and out without any annoying installation, it means that you can have as much music and stuff as you want.
Connecting to other phones also has a lot of options. Infrared and bluetooth are fast and easy to use, with a decent bluetooth coverage of ten metres all around you. Infrared presents the same problems as it always has, so you will rely on bluetooth a lot more. Transfer times are quicker than most phones and received files are easy to save.
The phone is at its best when you take off the keypad. Complete with spare screws and screwdriver, it is an easy task to do and improves the aesthetics and performance massively. There is a mode which allows a touch screen keypad, which acts as the usual keypad just more.... well, funkily. It does mean the screen gets dirty faster, but it is easy enough to clean. The only problem is that, since it is touch screen, you have to turn it off first meaning that cleaning it on the move is practically impossible.
Customisation is great. With ringtones you have the choice of monophonic, polyphonic, and truetone (MP3 ringtones) which means you can use your fave song as a tone or alarm. You can also switch about the icons in the menus and lists depending on which you prefer, and select different colours and "themes". For wallpapers you have two options; flip up and flip out. This I found to be very cool, and certainly earns a bit of wow for the phones coolness.
So, to wrap up this fairly massive description, I think it is fair enough to say that this is a decent phone. If you have a lot of money or want an impressive phone to wow your friends with, then this is it. But remember that contract phones are just that - a contract. Don't get yourself into debt for one of these. Check my other reviews for cheaper options.
Things to look out for -----------------------------
While on the web, if you can I reccomend downloading ImToo mpeg encoder. It lets you convert movies into mp4 which means you can play them on your phone! Also, image searches are good for finding pics of your favorite celebrities to upload! Look out for links as soon as I find them.
http://www.midishrine.com/ - Great place for ringtones. Check out the Final Fantasy VII section, its great!
Advantages: Wealth of software available, truly a PDA & a top class phone in equal measure Disadvantages: Size (over a non-smartphone), slight learning curve, slightly irritating music player (see review), not the best camera
I got this phone last October to replace my ageing P800, which I loved. When it was released, the P800 was the first of a new breed of smartphone, and well ahead of anything else on the market - two revisions later and the P910 (a revised version of the P900, which was itself a revised version of the P800) doesn't seem quite so extraordinary, but is in fact a much better device.
The things I appreciate most about the P910 are the same things I loved ... ...loved the way that the P800 had enough memory to store thousands of text messages (which I did, over the course of two years), but was dissapointed when the sheer number of messages started to slow the phone's inbox down. The P910 allows you to file messages in special folders however - and has about four times the memory available - so I can store even more messages and organise them so that nothing slows down.
The P800 had an MP3 player - very ...

Most reviews of this phone, I'm convinced are submitted by Sony-Ericsson. They lack details on why they say the phone is good. I'll give examples of why the phone is the worst I've ever owned. Looking at any other review you will find nebulous examples.
0. Poor Sound quality:
1. Poor Sound quality:
2. Poor sound quality: I can't emphasize this enough. If I am in a pub or on a train, I cannot hear the person on the other end of the conversation. ... ...background noise and chops up the received sound. If you are in a restaurant, on a city street, in a slightly noisy office setting, the phone will not allow you to carry on a conversation. I've never had a phone do this before owning this phone.
3. Slow OS: This OS is painfully slow. When you click on an option, it takes forever to activate.
4. Poor Contact Management: If you receive a call from a number you don't have in your contact database, ...

Advantages: Functionality, quality, touchscreen, PC conectivity Disadvantages: Camera, battery
When it comes to mobile phones, I only think of one brand. SonyEricsson. I've been a customer of Ericsson before the join with Sony. Apart from that terrible 7xx series, all other phones were quite revolutionary. It was me who first bought the T68, the first phone with coloured screen. Then, I stepped to P900 and now P910i. I wouldn't expect it to be much different from P900. And it wasn't. It only had those changes that you would expect from a new ... ...keyboard: Those smart guys! They tried to fill in all that empty space when you opened the flip and they implemented a QWERTY keypad! Even though I had to do quite some practise not to let my fingers press 3-4 buttons at a time, I think it was really handy, especially when typing SMS with the flip open
New menus: Quicksheet? Quickword? Yes! A Mobile version of the famous Microsoft Applications! Transfer all your .doc or .xls files to your mobile ...

This phone was my second choice when my contract came round and overall I am pleased with it. I bought it from Vodafone for £50.00 monthly contract. the weight of the phone is 155g a bit bulky but in all a good versitile PDA.
Functions I love: Touch-screen, this is definitely one of the best screens I have used, easy to navigate from one function to another, idiot proof (even for me) a real easy to use for sms and mms messaging, with intergrated ... ...easy to use with no bother at all, cut down my time on Texting and writing memos.
Notepad: this i found handy to jot down someones number or shopping list! just dont try and jot something down if your traveling in a car (not driving by the way) makes if difficcult to decipher what you have wrote. Organiser: this is really useful for me as I always carried around either my laptop or my filofax (remember them yeah I still have one) this allows me ...

...changes or add-ons. I thought Sony Ericsson might do some homework like u can’t select all and send as many files as u want.
The price tag is place where SE needs improvement for £499 it’s a very expensive phone, I would not even recommend P910i if u get a cheap upgrade.
Thanks for reading Regards

Advantages: Great inside keyboard, + Good Looking Screen Disadvantages: On the heavy Side + Bit To Large
...This phone is one of the best phone's in the range, with its brilliant inside keyboard, and its large display. It is definitley worth buying as it can comply to anyone's needs, as it is compatible with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. You can write your own notes make your own presentations, and alot of other things. You don't have to have the phone on when you are working away on the inside keyboard, and the communicator side of the phone always stays on, unless you take the battery out on the inside of the phone. At a price of four or five hundred pounds depending on were you buy, it does cost alot for what you are getting, the closest mobile phone's i can think of that even come close to the Nokia 9500 Communicator, are the SonyEricssonP910I, and the SonyEricssonP900, they are the only phone's that even come close to...

...hi all,
Well where do i start, this software is great, the various versions can be used on most smartphone (tomtom-mobile) as well as PDA's a lot of people dont know this, so whats a smartphone i hear you say, well. a smart phone is a mobile phone, which has a load of next generation capabilities such as java, MMS, multimedia players, and camera capabilties, and allows you to run software, the following are smartphones,
Nokia 6600

SonyEricssonP910i
Orange SPV-E200
Qtek 8080
basically they run the software and supply all the relevent info (where your goin) on the screen, now to get these devices working you will need GPS,
Whats GPS? Global Positioning System
