If you're looking for info on the P990i, click here

The P1i is essentially an upgrade to the popular P990i smartphone, but re-packaged in a smaller case, looking more like a slimline mobile phone. It has several technical enhancements over the older P990i, including:-

a 3.2MP camera
faster processor (both run a low power ARM9, clocked at 208 MHz but the P1i is visibly faster)
More memory (128MB RAM, compared to 64MB in the P990i)
a few more configuration options, such as customisable 'today' screen.
Up to 15 short-cuts on the main screen.
However, some commands now *only* work via the touch screen.

A full review of the P1i is online at my-symbian.com/uiq3/review_p1i.php
