I want it like the rest of my sony ericsson phones.

I want it on silent so I can see if I get missed calls in the morning, but I want my alarm to wake me up.... seriously, if I don't want it to wake me up... I wouldn't bother setting an alarm... I think alarms should override silent mode... it does on ALL regular SE phones... So i think it is a flaw...

@ares

I believe then that we broadly agree, I did say that I liked my P1, I just wish I could like it a whole lot more is all. I agree that the feature set can't be matched at the moment, but to me it feels like a great idea that has never truly been realised. The best I can say about it is that "it's ok", but I want to be able to enthuse, and bore all my friends stupid by telling them how wonderful it is.

..it's been over ten minutes already....(!) I hope nothing's wrong.

You know - it's not a very good situation right now for PDAs. On the one hand, no mobile operator or manufacturer will ever accept the need to move on to data- based services and flexible subscription fees instead of payment by button- press.

While on the other, it's highly unlikely that there ever will be a competitive phone with an open OS... that won't be crippled into utter uselessness. So I'm not really sure what to say - the p1 is the best out there now.. but it's about.. half of what it could be? A nice gadget, instead of plowing the way for mobile computers?

@AD, agreed it could be better...that´s the problem with SE and UIQ right now, decent products, but LOTS of potencial that is not being used

@AD:I have to say I meant the best P to date feature-packed.I had P910i and it was awesone.Not so many bugs,did its job very nicely.But P1i just works.It does good browsing,nice camera,awesome keyboard,large touchscreen,awesome messaging system with email and all.And the bugs aren't so many or crippling.Of what it could have been it's another story and it applies to EVERY consumer product.Wrong world pal:)

@701: well, it's more a software thing. If SE did some very simple few things, and put the focus on software development for mobiles like no one else in the mobile business - like, with putting two non- marketing people in charge of something that's more long term than a few weeks. And then got at least one person actively involved in patching the weaknesses the developers face with the UIQ implementation on their phones - then they would basically dominate and revolutionise the mobile market completely.

And that's not - you know - ten years into the future. That's three one- year salaries as an investment for taking over the PDA, multimedia and smartphone market.

It's not like this hasn't been almost about to happen for the last seven years, either.

No offence but I have to say that sounds like the very defeatest, led by the nose attitude that lazy manufacturers and developers are counting on to maintain their profit margins. Whereas I believe that, as in the PC market, we are entering a new era of consumerism where people are geting wise and saying "why should I upgrade when what I have basically does the job?", and so it's going to take a whole lot more than a new style flashy case to get people to part with their cash.

With the P1, however, I think Nipsen's hit the nail on the head by saying that it wouldn't take much to turn the platform around in terms of viability, underpowered though it is in my opinion

You can call me a fantacist if you like, but without dreamers we wouldn't have any of the technology that's so ubiquitous today...

(oh god - I need to get out more )

Nice discussion going on here.

IMO OS is more or less fine, but the processing power is on the bare minimum for it...
