Sony Ericsson today has announced the arrival of the latest UIQ smartphone the P1i. This new pioneering handset, which resembles the ever popular Sony Ericsson M600i with its rocker type keypad, supports both WiFi 802.11b and 3G (UMTS) high speed connectivity as well as a whole host of new and improved features.

To name just a few improvements would be a sin, but noticeably, the biggest improvement has to be the 160MB of internal memory storage, which is something that both the P990i and M600i lacked. The P1i also gets a new 2.6" QVGA transflective TFT display and a 3.2 megapixel digital camera, with auto-focus.

 Multimedia is the P1i’s middle name, with media support that includes a host of music file formats, streaming TV, and a built-in RDS capable FM receiver. Pair of wired headphones is included in the retail package, as is a 512MB Memory Stick Micro card.

The P1 ships with the Opera 8 browser and an RSS reader pre-installed, and makes.

The P1i will go on sale in Q3 of this year in "selected markets," according to Sony Ericsson.
