P1i Compatbilty issue with Vodafone and Exchange server
Hi!
P1i is not compatibile with Exchange 2007.
Please help me is there is some patch available for the same. Over and above this Vodafone network is not compatible with P1i as well ... I think I have done a mistake by purchasing Sony Ericssion P1i.
Wanna get throw away this hendset and bang Sony Ericssion Team for wasting my hard earned money.

Sony Ericcson P1i - Not that good
Phone isn't that bad but it does have problems!
1. Music player does NOT support audiobooks even in mp3 format!
- Tried several times with various audiobooks loaded onto 8GB microsd card and music player will NOT recognize the files!
2. Software update is a JOKE and will NOT work!!
- Tried several times and failed to update the phone's firmware.
- STUCK with v.1.x as originally shipped and NO local stores will perform update.
3. Sony USA will NOT support imported phones
- Already contact cust. support to confirm!
4. Battery life sucks!
- Shut off all other features esp. Wifi and just use the phone.
- This will make battery last ~2-3 days before recharging!
- Battery DOES show memory effect so MUST fully discharge then recharge (i.e. properly cycle) the battery!
5. Sony uses Proprietary sockets so 3.5mm adapter is needed for using regular headphones!
- Recharger uses proprietary plug also!
- Why can't Sony just use a standard adapter like every other company does with their phones?!
6. Edge connection is slow as hell but Wifi is slightly better.
- Opera browser is Slow as hell. Better to download/upgrade Opera Mini!!
7. Damn phone freezes especially during standby
- MUST remove battery to "reboot" since the OFF button will NOT work!!
8. Hard to find games for P1i though slightly easier for other applications
9. Sometimes the screen is Overly sensitive when talking so the cheek might touch the screen to start an application and cancel the call!! How frustrating and annoying!
10. Stylus sucks and made of cheap material. Already bought a 10-pack in case it breaks AGAIN!
- Touchscreen is Not good compared to Apple's iPhone (but then, NO phone's touchscreen is as good as Apple's iPhone).
11. Overall, this is one pricey phone that's not worth the money with all the glitches!!
Good points...
1. Good call quality
- Speaker phone volume MUST be kept <50% or else it'll distort
2. Good images from digital camera
- better than most other camera phones since it has 3.2megapixal camera though no camera lens cover!
3. Hmmm... Can't find anything else good to say.....
Avoid this phone as I wished I had... Wasted over $400 on this PDA/phone!!

Love my P1i
Well before i said that i need it to wait for my phone, well now I can tell that is working really really good. also its amazing what it can do. Wi Fi perfect it connects with no Problem, type with this phone is like be using my laptop, the browser works great camera yes great, i honestly had a little problem with the sync for a moment then i realize what was the issue and fix it right away. i dont know anything else works great and for those that have say bad things about this phone i think that next time You should prove more and well try different stuff because everything works great even i used with Fring and have 100% of call with skype out and have been chating and talking with at least 4 to 6 people at the same time just 1 at the time in Skype so far but soon i will find the way to have this with more people.

Excellent feature list, poor user experience
I am a faithful SE phone user and bought the P1i mainly because it featured WiFi. I have used the phone for about 3 weeks an finally given up with it. Most of my issues with it relate usability;
1. It's a Symbian phone and therefore sloooooooow
2. The qwerty keyboard with dual use keys is difficult to use if you have large fingers. I would have preferred a standard keyboard and used predictive text
3. The handwriting recognistion works mostly but typing on the keyboard is often faster
4. There's no correlation with the P1i UI with other SE phones so regular users of feature phones like me will struggle to navigate round the P1i
5. The phone always falls of the WiFi access point. This maybe because power management kicks in after a period of idle time to switch off the radio and conserve power. Whatever, this means that using a VoIP client is pointless as it will either generally be disconnected or running up the WiFi thereby draining the battery
6. Probably not an SE issue but Fring and OptiMobile client always crashes
7. Battery performance is poor what can you expect from an OS driven phone with a large and bright screen.
I've gone back to using my old K800i ...
:-(

WiFi issues
My main problem is that the P1i seems to connect fine with my wireless router, yet when I use the web application a message comes up saying 'could not locate remote server'. Seeing as I bought a wireless router specifically to use with the phone I'm a bit mad that it doesnt work. Can anybody help me out cos at the moment its really frustrating! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P1i is an interesting phone, BUT it has some weak points: no EDGE, quite slow processor to work with Symbian at only 208 MHz (new Nokia models run at 369 MHz, and other smartphones at 520 MHz), and only basic 3G (other actual models support HSDPA at 1.8 or 3.5 Mb/s).
Sorry, but looking for something else.

no LED?
.The phone does indicate thru a long lighting strip at the bottom if you have missed calls or messages. it flashes red too for certain things but I'm not sure. I love the phone. I can type long emails without a problem, and documents.
the camera isn't as great cos it has a greenish tint on the right side of images. I personally don't care that the phone only has wifi 11b. It's actually a good thing cos the 11b spec has more range than the 11g. Also haven't had a heat issue yet, it runs smooth and great.
it doesn't have a call recorder and no flashlight, two features I loved on my old and trusty K750i.
Video features are limited. the camera only records at 15fps. And it doesn't do well playing videos online cos a lot of codecs are missing. but you don't buy this phone just for video. I would appreciate however if sony fixes the video issue without me having to purchase additional software.
Love the keyboard. in fact I'm typing all this on the phone and I've gotten pretty quick at it.

P1i heats up a lot during phone conversations
Hello,
To my dismay my P1i heats up quite a lot when I use it as a phone. It usually starts heating up if have been talking for about 10 min on the phone and if this stretches to 20 minutes the phone becomes uncomfortably hot next to one's ear.
Is this a known issue with this phone? If yes, is there a fix to this problem?
Thanks in advance

Push mail problem
Hi folks,
Appreciate advise. I am not able to push email into the phone after configuring this to directions of my corporate IT.
Took this to the service center - they re-loaded the software and still the same. They have taken it back for testing.
The company uses its own email server - not exchange and Blackberry routing.
I have used pushmail extensively with Windows 3 and Palm both. for Windows it downloads its own client.
Not sure why Symbian does not work. The message is either 'connecting' or 'timed out' or 'completed download' - but no email.
Thanks in advance.

no LED?
It all sounds pretty cool..but why ditch the LED?? one of the best things about the p990i is bein able to see that u have a missed call or text without havin to pick up the phone :( it probably costs SE about 5p to put in the LED.

Some answers and one question
I'll trade some answers for one more question.
Yes, the task manager can be assigned to the hardware key. I did this with my M600, and it's extremely handy; between the task manager key and the scroll/click wheel (thumb and forefinger), I can navigate between applications using one (either) hand faster than I can hit alt-tab on my laptop.
Yes, it can charge over USB. However there are two USB modes -- either the device is set up as a USB memory device (in which case it charges) or set up as a multi-function phone device (in which case it does not charge). I imagine this might be a problem for those who want to use it as a tethered GPRS modem for more than two or three hours at a time, but it's never been a problem for me. It's about three taps on the screen to change modes.
Screen orientation doesn't change except for applications that specifically support it (video, etc). I'm ambidextrous, and have no trouble using the device in either hand.
No speech-to-text application in UIQ 3.0 that I know of. Google is your friend.
The Keyboard is not a feature trade-off. The rocker-key keyboard on the M600 easily beats the P990, Treo, and others in terms of speed and accuracy. The two-letter keyboard on the Blackberry Pearl is an embarrassment next to the M600, and the P1 is even better. I didn't believe it could be this nice until I tried it for myself and discovered that typing on the key edges provides *very* nice tactile feedback even for big fingers. Bravo, SE, this keyboard is awesome! Only the E70 provides a faster and better typing experience, and that's with a giant fold-out thing.
GPRS and WCDMA, no EDGE. No 850. Same as the M600. This is a serious traveler's phone, with an eye for int'l use. That said, I travel a ton all over the US, and I've *never* had a problem with coverage because of the missing 850 band. 850 is sufficiently UNimportant that I am happy to have the addition of an FM radio in the P1 (which the M600 does not have). Combined with a nice set of speakers like the MDS-60, the P1 is an all-in-one traveler's entertainment and communications center.
As for the complaints about 802.11b versus 11g... Give me a ------- break. 99% of the time people connect 11g equipment to a 512K or 2meg DSL line at home or a coffee shop, or to an office network that provides a maximum of 5-6MB of a shared 10 or 100Mbit network (and maybe a 3-5Mbit internet connection. *All* of these are less than the 11mbit provided by 802.11b. Unless you're configuring WPA2 on the phone (which some 11b hw does not support), then 11g gives a roaming user *no* advantage. Otoh, many of the 11b chipsets are sufficiently mature that they give very nice power conservation AND good reception -- much better than the latest 11g chipsets. Ach. Some people.
So... my question: Anyone tried the iSync plugin for the P1i? Does it work? What are your thoughts?
thanks
Jon

M600i...
It just seems like a renewed M600i to me... It has all the features that the M600I should have had! (Cam, WIFI, more mem, etc..)
I'll definately be replacing my M600I with it!
:-)
Just my 2 cents
