Sony Ericsson P990

I'm going to The Smartphone Show in ExCel London tomorrow. Going to meet up with a representative from Sony Ericsson for a preview about their new smartphone, the Sony Ericsson P990.

The P990 has a full keyboard right below the display, on the phone itself -unlike its predecessor the P910 which had its keyboard on the flip.

According to Sony Ericsson, the average revenue per user (ARPU) of customers who own smartphones are four to five times that of traditional handphone users.

It's the first phone with UIQ 3.0 interface. UIQ is basically the software which allows you to use programs on your phone by tapping the touch screen with your finger or the stylus provided. The latest version of UIQ apparently boasts better support for one-handed usage (as opposed to holding your phone with one hand and tapping its screen with another) along with the conventional pen-based one.
