Sony Ericsson P910i smartphone announced
Sony Ericsson P910i launched - widest choice of
input methods, added memory and ideal e-mail platform
15 July 2004
Sony Ericsson today launches the P910
smartphone, offering consumers a top combination of phone, PDA,
e-mail and web browsing on the move. The P910 has the widest variety
of input methods including keyboard, natural handwriting and T9,
so that users can choose the most convenient way to access the
phone’s many functions. Triple band GSM/GPRS coverage gives
a global level of freedom to use one of the smartest mobile communications
tools around.
The P910 makes handling e-mails and web browsing on a breeze
thanks to the wide choice of input methods. For example, the new
thumb keyboard on the inside of the flip is particularly useful
for writing longer e-mails; the five-way Jog Dial is ideal for
navigating the phone’s functions or browsing the web; whereas
the natural handwriting with stylus on the large colour touchscreen
and software keyboard are valuable tools for short SMS messages,
taking notes, or adding a new contact or meeting.
Gaining access to e-mail services and handling messages is hassle-free,
enabling users to make the most of the extensive e-mail services
the P910 supports. The P910 can just as easily be part of a secure
corporate IT network, or used by individuals to receive their
private e-mail. Sony Ericsson is collaborating with a wide range
of e-mail providers, which makes the P910 the perfect e-mail platform,
as in addition to Smartner it also supports IBM, Extended Systems,
Visto, RIM BlackBerry, Seven and IntelliSync.
New capabilities such as web browsing, e-mailing, PDA and a range
of entertainment options puts more demand than ever on the phone’s
available user memory. Sony Ericsson has taken this into account
and expanded the internal memory from 16MB to 64MB and included
a 32MB Memory Stick Duo in the box. The P910 supports up to 1GB
Memory Stick Duo Pro, creating almost endless possibilities to
store and share images, video, music and business data.
The P910 is based on Symbian OS v7.0, the world’s most
popular operating system for smartphones, and the successful UIQ
user interface which is based on Symbian OS. As a result P910
offers the widest possible selection of applications on any smartphone
available today.
New free or trial additions include AvantGo (offline browsing),
Media Viewer (direct access to news such as Financial Times) and
Promyzer (real-time market quotes and stock trading). HP Mobile
printing application allows messages, pictures, calendars and
contacts to be printed directly to a Bluetooth-enabled HP printer.
Wayfinder is a navigation tool included on the CD, which works
as a turn by turn in-car navigation system when connected to a
Bluetooth GPS receiver. P910 comes with the Opera browser, offering
a superior Internet experience that presents the full Internet
perfectly within the screen width.
Developing new applications for smartphones is the fastest growing
area in the developer community and the P900 is the number one
product for adding new applications. There are currently over
600 applications which are compatible with the P800/P900/P910,
a figure which makes these devices a proven platform for a large
community of application developers. Users can even buy and download
applications directly over the air to the phone using an on-device
application shop.
“Our smartphones combine PDA and telephony functions without
compromising on quality, functionality or ease-of-use. Add to
that the widest variety of available applications and input methods,
and you have a tool that satisfies the most demanding mobile professional,”
says Jan Wäreby, Corporate Executive Vice President and Head
of Sales & Marketing of Sony Ericsson.
The capabilities of the P910 are endless. It includes a digital
video and still camera and a range of entertainment options. PC
synchronisation of the calendar and address book can be handled
over USB, infrared, Bluetooth or even remotely over the air through
SyncML. The colour screen now has 262,000 colours and is well
suited for picture viewing and editing.
