I have tried the P800 and the handwriting recognition system is pretty easy to use and is quite fast. Using the attached keypad is kind of hard to use since u have to push the keys all the way down to write. So if u get used to the handwriting thing it is very fast I can say. Also the virtual keyboard is easy to use and if u are familiar with the letter positions on a q-keyboard that is also very fast. So overall the response of the phone to actions are fast enough to satisfy - I think - everyone.
By the way u are probably comparing the speed of the previous Nokias cause I have also tried 8310 and even though the menu is fast which I believe T68 i is also fast, getting into the SMS inbox is really a hassle especially if you have a couple of messages in it. My friend has one and u have to wait around 6-8 seconds for the inbox to load. So the better and more complex the phones get and smaller also, the slower they will be. Either small, smart and a bit slow, or big, bulky, standard phones but faster, it is your choice! I hope I could help a bit!

I thought the P800 didn't have T9?

If you buy the 7650, you will regret it. The keyboard is not as comfortable or accessable, due to it's design it slides out from under the phone and you carry the whole weight of the phone on the top of the keyboard.
The P800 has a touch screen, it is also equipt with a very fast CPU (for Symbian OS). You will probably be entering text using handwriting recognition or virtual keyboard rather than the keypad.

Umm well is it slow let me see, how the F*@k are people ment to know this it has not been released crying out loud what the hell is the point of this, we will see when it comes out. DOn't you people have a life or something or is there really nothing else to talk about. YOu must know for yourself that the software is going to change that is going to speed up things ect so what is the point. The users right now may experiance it to be slow or some bugs here and there thats why it is NOT RELEASED yet and in TESTING. Its like Windows XP it was in beta for ages cause they were trying to establish where bugs are in there product thats what SonyEricsson are doing right now, so you can't say for example windows XP is shit cause it always crashes WHEN ITS IN TESTING gawd people stop this shit.

Um... yeah, but Ericssons have never exactly been fast have they. I found it totally unacceptable on my PF768 that it took 2 minutes to get into the address book after turning it on, and guess what, 4/5 years later the T68 is just as bad. There's nothing to suggest SE are going to improve the speed of the P800.
Actually I was playing with a 7650 yesterday - the one single thing that makes it feel way ahead of any SE phone is the speed of everything - the menu system is instant, and there's only a short delay for any memory-intensive operation such as opening pictures. I've got used to the T68, but the Nokia feels way better - when you go back to the T68, it feels just it's deliberately trying to annoy you.
But as I've said elsewhere I won't be getting a 7650, as it doesn't have the BT headset profile. Another consideration to add to the list is the Canary/Stinger...

I had no problems with the older 5v Ericssons... The GH688, GF788 were just fine! It's when they introduced the new 3v platform on the T28...that's when they suddenly slowed down.
The R380 was fast... it was very fast... I think the P800 will be at par with the R380 when it comes to menu & SMS speed.

Yes, I hope they really sort this "speed issue". They should look at the basic functions of the phone where they are behind Nokia IMO.

@adamrj
Access phone book is very slow with every phone when it's just turned on...
Talking about the menu speed ... have you tried Panasonic ones?
I used a GD92 for year and when I tried 8210
... oh no, same feeling like you just turn back to t68
I choose T68i coz I think the speed is acceptable,
but its function ... not other comparable.
(have you read the comparation between MCA-20 and 7650's camera?
7650's photo looks like hell)
But for sure, I really don't know why Ericsson man left their high-end product so slow? I don't think their designers and programmers react so slow like their phone ...
