SonyEricsson - P900 Review

P900

20th December 2002

The Sony Ericsson P900 is the successor to the popular P800 model, but the P900 is an altogether sleeker, sexier phone.

The P900 is a little lighter and smaller than the previous model, measuring about 115x58x24mm (main photo is approximate actual size at 72dpi) and weighing 150 grams. The Sony Ericsson P900 has a better colour screen, with 65,000 colours and a proper electronic keypad rather than the odd way the P800 did it.

Being a Sony Ericsson, the takes the Memory Stick Duo expansion card, with 32Mb as standard, upgradeable to 128Mb. The P900 also has an inbuilt VGA resolution (640x480 pixel) camera which is capable of taking video clips.

It's quite a large phone overall, but the Sony Ericsson P900 does have excellent battery life, with a maximum of 16 hours talk time and 20 days standby. The large screen on the P900 makes it ideal for organising data, appointments and contacts. The Sony Ericsson P900's PDA functions run on the Symbian OS, to give maximum performance from a mobile device. The large 320x208 resolution screen is great for managing data.

The large screen and powerful processor on the Sony Ericsson P900 make it a great games platform too. The screen has 80% more pixels than the Nokia N-Gage offering better gameplay. Plus it plays MP3s, and with 128Mb memory sticks that should squeeze two full CDs into the P900.

Don't forget that the P900 is also a phone! With tri-band support it can be used pretty much anywhere there's a GSM network. Texting is easy, and supported by T9 predictive text input. Plus the Sony Ericsson P900 comes with the now standard array of polyphonic ringtones and suchlike.

All in all, the Sony Ericsson P900 is a great all-round phone, and does a good job at combining a mobile handset, PDA, handheld games console, music player and basic digital camera in one device.
