The Sony Ericsson P910 is a bit more than a nose job, not just a slimming of the bonnet and some go faster stripes and perhaps a fancy name "the SE910 Tropicana?" at least SE haven't picked up that idea for the motor trade, instead the re work of the P900 seems to have taken direct user feedback.

The first thing that's smacks you in the chops is the new data entry methods, the good old flip of the P900 is retained and indeed beefed up a little with a cool T9 Qwerty thumb pad on the inside of the flip, it is certainly small and will take some getting used to but for the "text" generation it looks like a good move.

The other external change is size, the P910 shrinks further to a little over 141 grams and 114 by 58 by 25 mm which all helps to make the P910 fit in a few more pockets than its predecessor and a lot more pockets than the much wider P800. The screen boasts a resolution of 208 x320 pixels and a huge jump in colour depth from 65k to 262k, the screen remains the primary method of data entry with the now familiar on screen keypad and handwriting recognition.

Sony Ericsson are keen to point out this is an incremental version and not the huge leap we saw between the P800 and P900, as such the P910 uses the same Symbian OS v7.0 as the P900 and the camera with both video and picture capabilities remains unchanged.

It is now easier to use GPRS with the supplied email client and for those lucky enough to be given the P910 as a corporate phone the P910 will work with secure corporate LAN's so it may be the end for the sight of chief exec's talking into the pocket calculator that is the blackberry. Storage has had a boost too with the P910 having an internal 64mb and supplied with a 32mb memory struck, but the real good news is support for memory stick DUO sizes up to a massive 1gb.

So who will buy the updated P910, probably the same range of power users that would have bought the P900 and despite the definite improvements we doubt that P900 users will be rushing to upgrade, perhaps the inclusion of a 1 mega pixel plus camera would have swung it but for now its most likely to appeal to anyone with a P800 gathering dust....Like LP.
