Sony Ericsson P990i review

Sony's all-in-one 3G smartphone has business brains

Tri-band GSM and Wi-Fi ; Push email support ; Office and web software included

Disappointing 2 megapixel camera ; Clumsy and unstable interface

One for the fashion-conscious chairman only. Otherwise avoid

Sony Ericsson P990i

Sony Ericsson's P990i is a powerful smartphone with a rich heritage. But, after several incarnations, it could be time for a design overhaul…

The improvements made to the P990i make it one of the most powerful smartphones around

The design has not really changed that much for a few years, and it's still a bulky little number

No longer the all-conquering powerhouse it once was, but still well-endowed and a great option for business types and early adopters.

Sony Ericsson P990i

Rafe is the first on the AAS team to acquire the Sony Ericsson P990i - here's his appraisal of this much-anticipated flagship smartphone.
