Sony Ericsson's P10 (Paris) gets another hands-on, full-blown review

We know it's the season for giving and all, but you're probably ready to stop being handed all these postmortem looks at Sony Ericsson's P10 (Paris). The UIQ-based handset, which was inexplicably canned earlier this year, was recently acquired and handled by the SE lovers over at SEMC Blog. As with most everyone else that has been fortunate enough to play with this here slider, these critics also couldn't figure out why the firm didn't forge ahead with production. Of course, it could just be the sentimental factor making the phone feel a bit more awesome than it actually is, but even with a bit of bias taken into account, it still seems like a winner. Too bad the powers that be deemed it a loser. Check the read link if you're okay with one last shower of tears.

Damn! UIQ, RIP! I hope the upcoming S60 5th edition will live up to the legacy of its cousin (or uncle rather).

My word Sony, what is your damage? You create this beauty, a slider with a Qwerty keyboard, people applaud, skeptical at first yes but grow fond of it and then you axe it. You then release the long, super long anticipated X1, at a price fit for a king! What do you guys have to show for yourself? Nothing, I'm oh so disappointed, I may just get the Blackberry Curve 8900 to pass the time, maybe when the X1 drops I'll give it some consideration. However, it should not go without mentioning I'm awaiting and new G1 phone.. who knows what mobile creation is out there, we all kno G1 is pretty much flawless, just wait until someone else gets onboard and then you Sony guys will really regret it.

I think the problem was that UIQ lost the plot somewhere between V1 and V3...and never regained the poistion it once held as the best touchscreen device ui.

S60 sucks now and always will!
