What reviewers say

GSMonline and Teltarif valued the P900's display and organiser functions, with flexible keypad and stylus operation and useful PC synchronisation. GSMonline particularly praised the screen's colours and viewing angles but found camera images indistinct and music transfers slow. Teltarif liked one-handed jog-dial operation while finding the stylus small and large web pages prone to slowing the phone; it also noted UIQ's smaller application ecosystem.
