Sony Ericsson Announced The P910 Smartphone Design
Sony Ericsson today released their new communicator device, the widely anticipated P910. As we saw when an internal Power Point presentation got leaked some months ago, the P910 makes use of the same basic design as used by the P900, but incorporates a full QWERTY thumb board into the underside of the keypad flip.

Most specs of the P910 remain the same as those of the P900, but there are a handful of noteworthy exceptions. For one, the internal memory was bumped up from 16MB to 64MB. Also in the memory/storage department, the P910 will ship with a 32MB memory card instead of the 16MB unit shipped with the P900. What is likely to please a lot of P900 users is the fact that the new P910 will support the Memory Stick Duo Pro format, which can reach capacities of up to 1GB in size, a far cry better than the 128MB limit imposed on the P900.

Other changes include an upgrade in the display. The new display is capable of displaying 262k colors. And unlike the P900, there will be a version of the P910 for the Americas markets called the P910a that, while still triband, supports the 850/1800/1900Mhz bands instead of the normal 900/1800/1900Mhz bands. The P910c for the Chinese market will support 900/1800/1900Mhz, as will the P910i that is meant for all remaining markets not covered by the other two.

Sadly, some things stayed the same that we would have liked to have seen upgraded. The major one being the P910's still VGA resolution camera. The rest of the hardware specs look much like they were copied from the P900's design, which is no surprise.
