We’ve seen a lot of alleged Sony Ericsson P5i Paris spy shots a from couple of months in the past, but as always, nothing beats photos of the real thing, held by a real hand. Here are a few exclusive live photos of Sony Ericsson’s new and upcoming feature-packed slider, in the shiny, plasticky and unadulterated flesh.

The photo we have here looks almost exactly the same as the rendering that we once showed you in a previous report, and we gather that not much has changed regarding its specifications and features either.

As expected, it appears to be a little bit on the slim side, even though it packs some great tech deep inside. Among its features are a stylus and finger-based 2.8-inch touchscreen, HSDPA/HSUPA connectivity, built-in Wi-Fi, GPS, 360 MHz CPU, and Symbian 9.3, UIQ 3.2 operating system.

The camera module on the P5i, as you can see, carries 5 megapixels worth of clarity on it. And coming from Sony Ericsson, you can expect this to be of very high quality.
