Touchscreen Mobiles: Part II

QWERTY Candy Bar Phones
Sony Ericsson P1i (Rs 16,600)

Though I wasn't hugely turned on by the P1i and its functions, it nevertheless is a good phone with great features such as a 2.6 inch touchscreen, a QWERTY keyboard and a scroll wheel on the side. It has a 3 megapixel auto-focus camera, Bluetooth with A2DP profile, USB, and Infrared connectivity. External memory is handled via M2 cards. It supports Wi-Fi and 3G. A great feature to have on a business phone like this is the Business Card Scanner. It even a has a media player and an FM radio with RDS.

Treo 750 (Rs 22,500)

The Palm Treo 750 is a comfortable phone to use, with a neat QWERTY keyboard, 5-way navigation pad, and 2.4 inch TFT touchscreen display. It runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 PocketPC but is upgradeable to Windows Mobile 6.0. Features include a 1.3 megapixel camera, miniSD external memory card support, 3GT, EDGE, Bluetooth with A2DP support, and USB connectivity. It also has infrared if you need it.

There you have it: my list of dual input handsets that incorporate touchscreen technology and physical keypads to offer a complete mobile experience. If you have suggestions regarding any more handsets, please leave a comment. Indeed, I shortlisted some of these devices based on recommendations from Tech2’s very own readers. Thanks guys... keep reading!

How about the hassel free from Windows or Symbian OS, the 1st phone to introduce Criox and UI under the screen and available in the market at much lower price than this. Its the Ultra smart Samsung F700. I was always a fan of the F Samsung F series phones since the launch of the F300. They r so stylish and dark and filled with functions ud never imagine. Cheers!

P.S - The F490 is serious as well.

HTC's Touch function is pretty pathetic compared to iPhone. There's a time lag and it isn't half as smooth as compared to iPhone.

@amar..
Buddy..EDGE network aint costly..it all depends on whether ur provider has enabled ur tower wid EDGE capabilities..
N abt browsing speeds..its like browsing in Dialup and 256kbps broadband..
I get max download speeds of 35kbps when i m in EDGE n just 8kbps in normal gprs..
I use Airtel connection..n i never had to pay extra for de Edge..

i like using big screen phones so if anyee one can sugesst on that bcoz the one for display yet by sony ericsson is the best thing happned to touch screen i suppose but iphone is no bad
so i would like people to suggest which to buy from both of these

Personally, I just love the SE xperia X1.

Beautiful form, decent sized screen with excellent resolution (think it is more than that on the i phone) and has all the desired features.

With the help of that gorgeous screen, it should be able to rival the i phone's surfing experience And with the help of the Qwerty key pad possibly surpass the i phone.

Moving into the future i think the net surfing experience a phone offers will become more and more important.

imate jaq is another low cost option
Shaheen @ Mar 17, 2008
SE P1i is the best option for both Business people and others. It is offerdable and also very compact unlike monster Blackberries and Palm pilots. Not having EDGE in India is not such a bad thing since the EDGE service is prohibitively expensive in India especially in Chennai like places.
Amar @ Mar 16, 2008
Correction here. Sony Ericsson P1i doesn't support EDGE and thats one of the reason why it's not getting popular among business people. I love the phone otherwise.
