> POLL: Who and Why upgrade to New P810
Bookmark topic
I WON'T
Not unless it has some MUST HAVE feature.
If it has built in fax capabilities then I might CONSIDER.
But the spec so far ain't such a leap that I should sell my current P800 (at a loss) and then shell out more money for the P810/900.
The difference between the two phones is like the difference between the T68 and T68i.
Ain't much to get excited about if you own the earlier model.
I think I will wait for the P1000 (or whatever they gonna call it).

Linux ...Mmmm was going to try one of those sharp machines but dont know whether I would have the time . I'm a photographer/graphic artist and need as much compatability as I can get .so I stay with what I've used ...if only Apple Newton would have burgeoned.
I think we all stay with what serves our purpose, but i'm damned if I'm upgrading just because fashion denotes it . ! I need to carry around a lot of kit and the more portable it is the better.
wish list: a cross-platform pda, with built in camera, hi res screen, a truly pocket version of Photoshop (pocket artist does the job) ..with detatchable triband fone that supports data fax gsm and satellite ....then and only then would I consider upgrading ...and only if it could make me an expresso coffee

Put me down for one of those as well!!
As for running linux with graphic work, I'm sure you'll find whatever you need out there, free of charge...

I won't. My P800 currently does everything i expect it too and even more. Apps make a smartphone usefull, not the phone.
There are only two reasons for me to switch:
1) Someone makes a killer app exclusively for the P810. Quite unlikely because i'm not looking for apps anymore. Have everything I need now.
2) My p800 konks out and I have to buy a new phone.

P810!! P810!!
I'm gonna get the prototype if I can and the actual phone
ON WARD WITH TECHNOLOGY!!
u can all stand there and gaze at ur old brick
meanwhile I'll b hvin a blast
been lookin for something to replace the P800 forever now!!
thank u soooo much
it's been 9 months I've had the P800
I need a cool design
u guys can stick to 10second vidcam, I'll b hvin a blast with my real version
profiles, 65k screen, and THIN
real stylus
no cheap keypad...
oh yeah... UIQ2.1
w00t
basically, everything I love is in it, and everything I hate has gone missing
my 2cents, ppl who dont want to switch to P810 r just frustrated P800 users who r pissed that they just bought a phone and there is a better one on it's way
had my P800 since december.. I'm frustrated that I've owned the same gadget that long

personally, i have absolutely no desire to upgrade to a P900. I've got my P800 working like a dream with most of the apps i need. the cam is not that important to me, nor is a 65k screen. besides, i'm sure that at some point, a P800 app would be available to record video longer than 9 sec., and SE will probably offer an upgrade to UIQ 2.1/Symbian 7.x.
the only time i would replace my beloved P800 would be when its replacement would have EDGE or UMTS capability. now that would be a real upgrade, not just some incremental improvements.

Short Answer: UNSURE/MAYBE/PROBABLY EVENTUALLY
Long Answer: As soon as it's available I will be in the stores trying it out, but I am on contract with my P800 untill March '04 (Wow, I've only had my P800 6 months and I'm already thinking of getting rid of it) If it is REALLY worth it I can pay out the contract pretty cheaply, but I don't see that happening. Maybe by March next year the real P900 will be in the pipeline and it will be UMTS/GSM (and by that time they will have a good combined UMTS/GSM chipset so the phones won't be so huge).
