Title of review Great Cell Phone
What are the strengths? This phone is full of features. It has an extremely good camera. It has bluetooth. It also has a feature that enables you to make face-to-face calls. It has a pretty good FM tuner. It also has a web browser. It has a touch screen display, not to forget it also has 2 keypads- one for number, the other for alphabets. And, the best part - the phone has an large internal memory and an additional external memory can be added.
What are the weaknesses? So far, i havent come across any weakness.
Summary This phone is simply great. It has tons of features. It is extremely user friendly. I, in particular, am completely fascinated by the dual keypads. Also, the touch screen display is great and is easy to use. This phone has a good voice clearity. Plus, it is easy to hold and handle, quite compact. And, it costs less than many other phones available in the market today. I am absolutely satisfied with this phone.

Title of review Fabulous!
What are the strengths? I like the camera and the mp3 player. It is quite good compared to other phones in the market. Very compact and not at all bulky. Also it has a large internal memory so you can store quite a lot without any worries.
What are the weaknesses?
Summary Sony Ericsson P990 uses a metallic edging around the screen, and thus any problems with the flip influence are excluded. I liked the design overall and it is very eye-catching. I like the voice reception and clarity. The color display is bright and vivid so i have nothign to complain about.

Title of review A class piece
What are the strengths? Large internal memory, option of external memory, wide screem woth great clarity, touch screen, FM, music player, 2 megapixel camera, two keypads, one for numbers and one for alphabets, web browser, email access and also a bluetooth.
What are the weaknesses? None that i have seen yet.
Summary It has everything that one might require ever in a phone. There is not a single function missing from this phone that you would spot in another phone. It even has video call feature and all the above mentioned strengths. Honestly, I have not come across this kind of competence ever in a phone. Its worth every penny I paid for.

Title of review A Pretty Good Phone
What are the strengths? It has a 2 megapixel camera. 3G technology allows you to make face-to-face video calls. It also includes 80MB of memory, a memory card slot, an FM radio and a music player. The cellphone has a web browser, email access, a calendar, to-do list and notepad. Plus it has two seperate keypads - one with numbers, one with alphabets. The numeric keypad flips down to reveal a separate keyboard whenever it's needed. The screen is also touch sensitive.
What are the weaknesses? The touch sensitive screen may end up getting spoilt too soon. Apart from this i havent come across any other problem/weakness/flaw.
Summary This phone seems to inculde everything one could ever want in a cell phone. Infact, it offers much more! A 2 megapixel camera, a video call feature, FM radio, a web browser, email access etc - what more could anyone ask for! Its simply superb! I havent ever been this thrilled with a phone!

Title of review Good could be better
What are the strengths? After upgraded to latest Software. Reliability, WIFI connection brilliant, Can be really used to receive emails while on the move, Clarity of phone calls excellent, Radio, MP3 player, Camers quality good. Build quality satisfactory. Screen quality good.
What are the weaknesses? Some parts of the phone are poorly designed, Stylus on wrong side, Close call button on wrong side, jog dial should be 5 way as P910 not 3 way, Jog dial is set into the body too far making difficult to press. Software is cumbersome to say delete all voice messages etc. Too many menus to go through to carry out a task. Menus needs to be simpler. Battery life short.
Summary A good phone that could be great if Sony had remained with the software and design features of the P910. Dont be put off by bad reviews. I have not had one crash or hang and have always managed to do every thing I wanted to do.I would advise someone to buy the phone but if they have had the P910 before, they will have periods of dissatisfaction.Because of all the phone features you are encouraged to use them.

Title of review
What are the strengths? Lots of built-in software
What are the weaknesses? Do a websearch on memory errors, SMS errors, re-starting.
Summary I have been using S/E's Pxxx range of phones for a long time.
This one needs to have it's O/S completely re-written. I can't trust this phone to use with my bussiness communications.
I feel I will not be using S/E phones anymore.
