Smart and glossy

If you are hunting for a new smartphone, be on the look out for the Sony Ericsson P1i.

Not to be confused with Sony Ericsson's previous smartphone, the M600, the P1i has a classier feel to it.

The phone has 3G and WiFi connectivity options, and a 3.2-megapixel camera.

It comes with a rather unusual Qwerty keyboard – each key represents two letters so a slight rocking motion with the thumb is needed to select the letters.

If this proves to be a bit hectic for you then you can opt to use the stylus instead.

You can expect the P1i to arrive at our shores sometime in the third quarter of this year, which is really not too long to wait.

Pricing has yet to be announced
