The much-awaited Sony Ericsson P990i is finally here. The market for high-end PDAs is heating up as a string of launches from handset makers, such as Nokia, I-mate and Hewlett Packard, find ready buyers in executives and professionals who are always on the move and need to be in constant touch with their offices. Somehow, Sony Ericsson, the brand behind the iconic Walkman phones and the evergreen K and P serives, seemed to have slowed down a bit in the high margin PDA segment. But it is now striking back hard with its latest offering-the much awaited P990i.

First impression

The handset has an elegant feel to it and is almost of a similar size as its earlier avatar, the P910i, but comes with a whole lot of new features. First of all, the P990i has the right ancestry. Sony provides it with all the necessary visual appeal in the form of a large screen that will prove extremely helpful to users when 3G servies start by the middle of next year. The screen delivers a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels (QVGA0 with 262,000 colours.

Sony Ericsson ushers in a new era of compact, 3G Camera-Music-phones.

THE FIRST SONY Ericsson handset to carry Cyber-shot branding, this 3G Phone has a 3.2-megapixel camera with auto-focus lens and a real flash instead of the usual weedy LED “torch”.

Turn it on its side and slide the leans cover down to enter Cyber-shot mode, and this feels pretty much like a camera. Only digital zooming is on offer (up to a pixellated 16x), but the two-inch screen in low light.

With the W610i, Sony Ericsson has ensured that a Walkman phone is available across price budgets. The bundled portable speakers convert the W610i into a mini audio system. The tiny speakers are powerful enough to get a poolside party started,

• A512 MB M2 card is part of the sales package.

After downloading software, you’ll be Web-bound in no time. Using GPRS, BBC Online’s home page loads in under a second, pictures and all. The screen is excellent and the browser a pleasure to use. It can display pages in both portrait and landscape. The stylus really helps with scrolling and also gives great control over zoom, making it zipper than Road Runner pursued by Wile E Coyote equipped with Acme’s finest.

Each side of each QWERTY key enters a different letter. Inputting two letters consecutively from the same button can be awkward, but they’re big enough to generally make typing speedy.

Move over Sony Ericsson K750i your worthy successor has arrived and with panache. It contemporary looks score over its predecessor’s old school, simple geometric lines.
