Hi Srinivasan,
The Sony Ericsson P1i comes with Quickoffice installed on your phone. Quickoffice is a mobile open-source alternative to the Microsoft Office for Mobile suite.
Using Quickword, Quicksheet and Quickpoint within Quickoffice you can open and easily edit Microsoft Office Excel and Word documents as well as Powerpoint presentations. Find out more from Quickoffice for UIQ.

Hi Srinivasan,
At first my response was going to be a major let-down, but, thankfully SomeOne ported Steves ENes for the A920/A925/A1000 emulator to the UIQ platform.
So, yes, you can play .nes game files on your Sony Ericsson P1i by emulating the software with ENes for UIQ

Hi Sai,
The Sony Ericsson P1i runs on Symbian OS, it cannot open *.exe files and as such cannot be infected by traditional Windows viruses. In saying that, in the future there may be viruses in the wild that exploit both Symbian OS and any software on your P1i, for example Quick Office or a utility.
Just like on a computer be careful with what you download and be sensible when installing new applications by backing up your phone.

Hi,
I bought Sony Ericsson P1i day before in Bangalore, India & activated internet service. Now I would like to know how to get GPS on my mobile?? Can I get any software which can be downloaded in PC and installed to Sony Ericsson P1i?? Could you please help me to check whether GPS will work in my mobile or not?? I have verified while purchasing this mobile, it has GPS. But dnt know how to get started??

Hi Guru,
The Sony Ericsson P1i doesn’t have GPS built-in like some other phones on the market, so I’m taking a stab that you have been given a Bluetooth GPS receiver which connects to the Sony Ericsson P1i. Take a look at Does the Sony Ericsson P1i support in-car GPS navigation.
You’ll need to install the software on your computer, then transfer the phone application to your Sony Ericsson P1i. This will then link to your GPS receiver and allow the phone application to provide GPS overlays.
I’m about to buy a GPS receiver for the P1i, I’m getting Garmin Mobile XT!

Hi Anoop,
I’ll have to look into it but I’m confident P1i themes are stores in a user-restricted directory in phone memory. Do apply a theme place the *.utz file either in an accessible folder in phone memory or your M2 memory stick.
If the *.utz file is not applying it could be corrupted or built for a previous/future version of UIQ.

Hi Kiran,
I use Bluetooth regularly to transfer files where wireless connectivity is not available (no access point for 801.11B).
What software are you using to manage your computer’s Bluetooth connection, I use Bluesoleil 5, it’s perfect for Windows XP/Vista. I believe you devices must be paired to transfer files, a message is a bit different.

Hi Sai,
I’ve never encountered an error message like that before. Try hard-resetting your phone or taking it to a Sony Ericsson repair shop to get looked at. My initial concern is the onboard camera is damaged, do video-phone calls with the main camera work? It’s worth a try as it will confirm whether this is a software or hardware fault.

Hi i just want to know if there is anyway the extension file .exe can be install into p1i or other way like emulator to install the .exe into p1i.
My point is to install a forex trading platform into p1i but its seems to be impossible. Show me the way….
March 22nd, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Hi Rukas,
There is no ‘emulator’ for *.exe applications for the P1i, nor will there ever be. The application would essentially run Windows on your phone, even a Windows Mobile emulator is unrealistic.
I’m confident there are workarounds, you could use your 3G or wireless connection to access the Forex web service (if available) as well as commission a Symbian application which acts as an interface to the Forex platform. Have a look around and let me know how you get on.

Hi Venkat,
I am unaware of any touch dialer applications for the Sony Ericsson P1i, there is huge demand for one though! Take a look at the Sony Ericsson P1i application market, you may be able to purchase a third-party product or motivate another developer to create a touch dialer.
I’m stacked up to my neck with projects but will be looking into developing a free application (with skinning support) so I can have the ‘iPhone experience’… and be lazy by avoiding the keyboard.
