I still have my P800 working well. It's a touch screen, but i have poked it, thrown it against the wall, dropped it...etc etc etc...no joke...hahaha...

yes you can try your luck lah...

FYI, P1i sounded extremely, I repeat, EXTREMELY soft.
If you're those kind of person who need a very loud ringtone, P1i is not a device for you.

Cannot put max volume, the sound will definitely pecah.
2 bars below max is the safe point, I think.
Cause I've test both max and 1 bar below, both also pecah.

My own personal trick.
If you're in heavy SMS mode, what you do is ....
...
..
.
silent the d*mn phone.

What really irritate me on SMS is the vibration came 1st then the sound.
Why can't they just make it like normal phone, which both came in together.

Hi guys,

I'm here on behalf of my brother, who recently purchased a P1i. Being a Sony Ericsson user for quite some time (both w and k series), we noticed that the picture shot even at 3mp is quite grainy... is that normal?

For your information, where u shoot the pic? issit a fine sunny day? or indoor? inside ur room? coz 3.2megapixel, even indoor or less sunlight, the quality will be not good lo 

Try to capture pic at a very fine sunnyday + good sunlight , if ur images still grainy means ...i oso dunno liaw 

In photography, ISO setting refers to the film speed now in digital camera case it means how sensitive the sensor is towards incoming lights. A lower ISO means the sensor requires more exposure time to light to take the same scene compared to a higher ISO sensor.

1. Increasing the ISO lets the sensor collect more light,but the picture will have more noise.
2. Decreasing the ISO in turn lets the sensor collect less light.

So in under high sufficient lighting, lower ISO can be used. Higher ISO can be used when lighting is low but it will be prone to image noise. To further down this ISO setting actually does more things than control light sensitivity. If more light is able to be captured in a short amount of time, then freezing a fast action in a photo can be done. This is because the shutter can be closed more quickly with a higher ISO setting, hence freezing the action.

Some reference - ISO 100 ( daylight )
                        - ISO 50  ( Used under very good lighting, low sensitivity towards light, low noise)
                        - ISO 400 ( More sensitive towards light but generate more noise)
JEN WAI! They increased the price for my mentioned pouch! Dont buy it. It used to be RM28.90, sells at Low Yat for RM30 only!

Your right about that. If P1i can't set ISO it can't be used. The K-series has this feature, up to ISO 400 (on K850). If I'm not mistaken, P1i has a auto white balance feature? If so, that can also cause flat/dull pictures on sunny days.

White balance works by having a white object (such as a cloud) be a reference for the software to color "white" to the taken photo. If you prepare to snap a photo which has a color similar to white, its best to include a object that can be used as a reference. If you enable auto white balance.

White balance has nothing to do with lighting.

Does P1i has exposure value settings? If so, increase exposure value to allow more light.

may i know what is the original set & ap set price when p1i first launched??
