Bookmark topic
3G charging every night??!?! with ratings like that... try 2x a day! well.. Nokia users should be used to that!
I get 24 hours on my P800 with extremely heavy use (TipicME on the whole day, surfing for news/traffic, few calls, 30SMS, Bluetooth ON)
2 days with normal use, Bluetooth ON
3 days normal use, Bluetooth AUTO

How long does your P800 battery last for video calls
?

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Funny!
Like I said... video calls are way over-rated. I once thought that when everyone I knew had a webcam & braodband... we'd always have video calls. Right now, my webcam is off... and I usually just do normal text chat with my friends.
It would be nice to have... but not really that essential... not essential enough for me to give up all the other functions of my P800, and pay 3x the cost of a regular voice call.

Re: video calls, I agree not essential all of the time. But definitely invaluable some of the time.
Another nice thing about 3, is that they have a service to make video calls from the handset to a pc plus webcam. Which gives it a wider reach than it might otherwise have had for a while. Could be quite a good corporate draw as well.
It's all a matter of what you want, and what you are willing to give up to get it. Money, size, battery,...

@andrew99, of course there are a few times when a video call would be great... occulars, remote inspections, approvals, etc.. but seriously.. how often? And like I said... those 0.1% of people who use video calls regularly can actually live using EDGE (384kbps)... it doesn't HAVE to be 3G...remember, PacketVideo only uses up 40kbps to offer live streaming videos! (The only reason PacketVideo can't handle live video from a CURRENT GPRS phone is because CURRENT upload speeds are only 14.4kbps)
Now, if you're willing to sacrifice ALL the features of the P800 just so you can make a video call... then go ahead. I personally find all the 3G handsets kinda ugly (not that the P800 looks that great either) they remind me of the 1st generation GSM handsets.
And like I said 3G isn't some Holy-Grail. It's just faster data. That's all. All for what? Video? It's great if it's there... but I won't seriously give up all my functionality now, just to have video.
Oh, and just a note... Yahoo Webcam works just fine with current GPRS speeds... it's not the Super Webcam .. but hey, it's here now..and works everywhere GPRS is available...try it with your laptop & webcam!!! (:lol: I tried it with my desktop once when my cable service was down for the day!!!
)
@suzi... other than the rotating screen (this might break unless the phone is made of metal) ... this looks similar to the
Z1010 which also has 2 cameras.
