Hi guys,

Got one simple (experience based) question that would like to ask you all about the P1i. I am in a dilemma over K850i and P1i.

I prefer a good cam that can match up with my very old Nikon 3.2MP standalone camera and I don't need a KILLER 5/8/10MP camera feature.

I saw the reviews on almost all sites on P1i and they said it was a good smartphone with good camera features. Just wanna know if the pictures taken are well enough to be printed on a 4R size photo?

Thanks squall for your info. Another few more questions before I hit the store for a K850 or P1i.

1. What is the internet performance on the P1? 802.11b is the only compatible mode with the P1.

2. How is the overall speed of the device? I am planning to insert a 2GB M2 and make it into a Mp3 player.

3. How customizable is the UI?

4. On your info of the camera it seems that it is inferior of those in K800/810. I do take photos,of people, not a avid photographer. Just wanna capture that memory when that moment comes. Do you think the P1 can fulfill this need?

A K850 will have a killer 5MP cam that is an overkill for printing 4R pics and it lacks a whole lot of features that the P1 has.
Wifi,UI customization,google maps,office apps,document readers,slightly larger screen.

Not possible using SEUS. Its possible by a charged service such as Kulankendi or Da Vinci Team. For KK its 8 Euros = Rm40 for flashing.

EDIT: Just saw what squall wrote about this Mylar X3 and Martin Fields 3.5mm jack. From the name I think its quite expensive!

Wah RM160. Audiophile earphones to the max haha.

What comments do you guys have on the touch screen display? Because my friend who works in a phone shop strongly advised me not to buy phones with touch screen,flip and slide function.

They said that you press more = shorter lifespan. Cucuk cucuk until can't respond anymore.
I was like

Hmm your right. (Runs to store to get P1i, oh no wait. Wait till next month for price drop )

I think Mylar have to wait. Must get the martin fields screen + case + mem card first. I guess have to stick to the bundled earphones. Ugh.

Do you use any casing on your P1i?

RM1k++ phone can be "hardcore"-ly used? No no no. I think he is really hardcore cause he is still using a 3310 and his W200 is encased with a super tough clear plastic casing.

Haha thanks for the info.

Guys have a look at this OEM Flip Case P1i

RM 50+ only. Now that I know it, I'll stay off both crystal case and silicone ones.

Eh!!! RM30 only. I prefer the white one. Too bad I can't go lowyat for the moment (I live in Ipoh)
Good price for the item.

By the way the whole thing is quite bulky. Where do you guys keep the case+phone?

P1i Case

Does this look familiar? RM20++.
Now no need go lowyat already

No problem, just found it by accident. I hope they don't run out of stock

Check the first page. I don't think yours is.

Hey guys has the green tint problem been solved or? Firmware or hardware related?

I am gonna buy my P1 soon and I am afraid I am going to get the green tint. It is apparent after a few months of usage or a defective phone will show green tint although its new?

That means nego-ing KAU KAU KAU KAU with the AP dealer. Stuff to bring

-> A4 Paper
-> Light source if needed
-> Good brains with a flawless mouth

Firmware updates are just improving overall UI speed and photo taking processing time of the P1i. Blur and soft? Why don't you post your pics up here so we can have a look?

Normally pictures are blur because the photographer hands are shaky. There are techniques to hold the phone properly though (the P1i doesn't have a image stabilizer). Not sure if this is the case

---------------------

Hey gamenoob ya running the latest firmware? If so thats a serious bug!

Here is something I digged out of the net. He has also similar problems with Outlook sync. Hope it helps,I'm not personally a avid user of outlook



In the case of quality in P1i, its actually a very decent 3M camera. You can always edit with Photoshop to make it better

Nice superb shots with P1i

Take some scenery shots and share with us

HEY NO GREEN TINT ! ! !
I want a tint free P1i

Hey no prob. The guy's problem was just posted as a comment on a blog. Here is a thread on Esato regarding your problem. Hope it helps

Esato Outlook 07 Sync Error

I think fx_53_xt should include some tips on battery care on the first page. It will really help us save $$ on buying new batteries.
Here is some general tips on battery care for Li-ion.

1. Alot of people say drain the battery to zero then recharge is bad for Li-ion. Its okay for Ni-cad but not Li-ion. Keep your battery level to around 50% and possible don't let it fall below that.

2. As above, recharge your battery when it reaches around 50%, not when its 90%+

3. Sometimes you would need to do a marking process on the battery to let it display properly battery capacity. Drain your battery completely once in 2months or so. Ever wondered why your battery capacity jumps around? Thats why.
( I myself tested this last time, the results shows after only extended usage)

4. It is better not to overcharge your phone to get that extra usage period. Always a good practice to disconnect the power cable after your battery is fully charged.

4. Some people MIGHT not know this. When using your phone for the first time, FULLY CHARGE YOUR BATTERY

Any errors please rectify

Recently Garmin released a mapsource for UIQ platform, still under beta called GarminXT. Its native so its just install and bluetooth to your Garmin Mobile10x should do it.
The advantage of having a garmin based GPS receiver is that you can get free maps (most accurate and current IMHO as it is updated by local people) from MalSing maps. Forgot the site though you might wanna Google it up.

The Garmin Mobile10x retails around 650, lelong.com sells at RM559.

I thought I just said something back at the previous post. Nevermind. You can use this phone as a GPS if you buy a receiver from Garmin (Mobile10x around RM600+). Read my previous post. GarminXT would be the platform for UIQ from Garmin.

Read the first post from our president on changing your CDA. Some regions (CDA) doesn't have the latest firmware released by SE.

Er, first you gotta know what brand of reciever you brought, Holux, Garmin etc. If its Garmin then its easy you just download GarminXT from the site and you will be running in no time.

If its Holux or other brands and you still want the latest maps, goto MalSing Maps and follow the guide for "Non-Garmin Recievers"

But you touch the charger and see its really hot huh? Yeah the current stops flowing to the phone but the charger still retains conductivity. Personally I'd rather off the charger you know, extend the shelf life of things..
