Having had a P800, P900 and the P910, I was interested to see Sony Ericsson have reset the counter, so to speak, and just announced the new P1 smart phone.

It runs Symbian UIQ, as per previous P-series phones, and comes with a neat little stylus to control the touch screen – which you’ll inevitably end up losing at some point in the handsets life. Still, it’s a lot smaller than it’s predecessor the P990 (about three-quarters the size), and manages to pack Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, tri-band GSM/GPRS and UTMS 3G, plus a 3.2 megapixel 3x digital zoom camera into it’s sleak candybar-style package.

The Sony Ericsson P1 is expected to go on sale worldwide in Q3 of this year, so once you’ve taken into account network approval and launch dates, this could be ready in time to be a contender for many a phone addicts Christmas stocking.
