The most capable business smartphone by Sony Ericsson was unveiled today in the petite and stylish P1.

Sony Ericsson introduced its P1 business-minded handset, which packs in a slew of features into a compact package. According to Sony Ericsson, the P1 is 25 percent smaller than its P990 smartphone, at just 4.1 by 2.2 by 0.7 inches and 4.4 ounces. Despite its diminutive profile, the P1 includes several messaging features under its hood, such as push e-mail with support for BlackBerry Connect and Exchange ActiveSync. The P1 also features a full QWERTY keypad for speedy typing.

The Sony Ericsson smartphone features a number of connectivity options including UMTS and Wi-Fi. The P1 takes advantage of its 3G capabilities with a bevy of multimedia features, including stereo Bluetooth, access to the Opera Web browser, a media player, FM radio and a 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus. The camera also serves up a business card reader, which lets you take a picture of a business card and automatically have the person's contact information recorded in your address book. The candy bar also throws in a Memory Stick Micro expansion slot for additional space to store your pictures and tracks.

The P1 runs on the Symbian OS, and can view and edit Microsoft office documents with its 2.6-inch QVGA touch screen display. The handset also boasts several calling features, such as support for VoIP and video conference calls courtesy of its front-facing camera, along with a speakerphone and voice commands.

The Sony Ericsson P1 is set to hit select markets in the third quarter of 2007, but there's still no word on pricing.
