For developers it will present a few challenges, migrating to Symbian OS v9.1, but will certainly offer the rewards of its predecessors. The Sony Ericsson P series has been a significant success. While it may have not achieved the raw sales volumes of devices from rivals, such as Nokia, it has shone as a lucrative opportunity for developers. The three P models have consistently out performed every other smartphone in their ability to encourage users to add additional software. .
