Sony Ericsson P1 hits eBay, Expansys says eight days
Well the long wait -- for those that were waiting, that is -- is over, the P1, that we also followed as the P700i has arrived. The price is hovering in the $600 range on eBay, with the Expansys UK price sitting at about $800 after conversion. We've seen it reviewed and are hoping that it will live up to the hype being slathered on it by the Sony Ericsson community. Still the lack of any decent connectivity options for North America -- no HSDPA, no EDGE -- and without any hints of a version for these shores, has really dampened our enthusiasm. A P1a would be so welcome right about now, OK SE?
Sony Ericsson P700i in the wild
We're finally starting to see real pics of the P700i trickle in from out on the interweb -- good thing, too, as we were seriously considering a moratorium on this madness -- and it seems the lads at mobilecowboys.nl got their hands on some pretty decent pics of the new UIQ 3 device. Lo and behold, one even features a "system" screen which lists the device name as "P700i." The word from the gents who had a chance to play with it is that it has a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, triple band 900 / 1800 / 1900 with UMTS (this seems rather non-North American to us), WiFi, jogdial, touchscreen, and 160MB of internal storage. Of course, until it gets launched any of this could well change, and as usual we will be posting those updates here.Read - Pics of the P700iRead - More pics of the P700i
Could this be the Sony Ericsson P700i?
Alright, we're really shrugging our collective shoulders at this one. Apparently the render pictured here is the Sony Ericsson P700i, but we were under the impression it was the M610i (we peeped an XML doc on SE's site that seemed to imply the M610i was "real"). Sony Ericsson's "P" series handsets have always been touch screen, UIQ affairs -- think P800, P900, P910, P990 -- so this is throwing us for a bit of a loop. Whatever the case may be, the specs we're seeing include a 2.6 inch QVGA screen, 3.2 megapixel shooter, 3G, Bluetooth, WiFi, and that rocker-style QWERTY keyboard. If there is anybody out there with more info that feels inspired to chime in, please be our guests!
Hints of a "P700i" from Sony Ericsson
We haven't heard much from the smartphone group at Sony Ericsson since the oft-delayed P990 hit the shelves, but all that may be changing with a little tidbit gleaned from the Sony Ericsson site in the form of an XML user-agent profile for the "P700i." While we've got very little to go on here, the doc does list a few specs such as 320 x 240 screen, QWERTY keyboard (no word if this is virtual or real), GSM / GPRS / WCDMA, and OMA or Direct Push messaging support. This is the first we have heard of the P700i but we hope to get more soon; feel free to drop us a line if you have more -- and yes, blurry pics are acceptable.[Via Just Another Mobile Phone Blog]
