14 DAY TRIAL // After different rumors, a leaked image and leaked specifications, Sony Ericsson P3i recently appeared listed on the MSN China mobile website, along with what seems to be a real picture of the handset. This means that, most probably, an official launch of P3i will follow pretty soon, although it is said that it will not hit the market until the second quarter of 2008. This is the time when the P5i model should be launched too, so we can hope that P3i will come faster.
The P3i image from the Chinese website looks a lot like the P1i and M600 models from Sony Ericsson and not like the leaked photo that appeared a few months ago, which is said to present the P3i phone. This can only make us think that the leaked photo was just an image of a concept phone that doesn't really exist, even though many of us would have wished so, as the image reveals an impressive phone.
Awaiting for its official launch, we must say that Sony Ericsson P3i will come with very attractive features. It is said to have a 2.8 inch VGA screen, supporting a high 480 x 640 resolution. Also, the phone packs a 5-megapixel camera and excellent image handling performances, making it a perfect handset for photography lovers.
P3i is powered by a 332 MHz processor, it has 128 MB of RAM and features HSPA performances and WiFi connectivity. The new phone will also bring a fresh UIQ interface version, but there is no clear information about this fact.
We think the new Sony Ericsson P3i will be targeted for both personal and business users, since the picture from the Chinese website shows the Sony Walkman logo on the phone's screen, denoting the fact that it provides evolved multimedia features.
P3i, come faster, because we're waiting for you!
