I spend 2 months looking for a phone which would fulfil my dreams of owning a phone which I can use - ’in’ office and ’out of’ office. And I think P1i is snugly fitting into that place. I can check my mails with it. Using Blackberry connect to connect to my official mails. I dont need Blackberry anymore and the added advantage of it being a ’fun’ phone does make it a smarter choice.
QWERTY keys may take a bit to adjust but its fun to use when acquainted with.
Though I am not happy with the camera - 3.2 megapixel (with auto focus). I must admit my earlier NSeries Carl Zeiss gave me much better quality nonetheless I can take better pics than Blackberry.Music player is satisfactory.
Also you can install ’smart’ software like google maps which is good enough if you are not buying the GPS option with the P1i.
All and all P1i is a smart choice for smart people.
