May I ask if you were able to see how you sync your phone (mainly the pda aspects of the phone) with your computer. I am curious how you sync your mail and download attachments. Is there a stand that you place the phone on or a cable? I would be very disappointed if you did not have such a facility. Also, am apologizing in advance if this question has been previously answered its just that this site has become just so huge its hard to follow everything. Also, the one you saw, was there a memory stick duo it in? what did the uiq pen look like? is it flat, easy or difficult to hold? appreciate any other info you can provide. thanks

Good questions. The phone was in a cradle that seemed like the charger as well, just like the one on the 'connectivity' page of the p800 website. The cradle was white, not grey, with the green SE logo.
The stylus was short and flat, and is just 'ok'. I suppose they didnt have space to make it rounded like the palm stylus I'm used to. underneath where the stylus clips was a memory stick duo in the slot. I wanted to see the size of the MS duo, but I couldnt see a button to remove it.
I dont know what to make of it. I (like a lot of people) have been waiting for the p800 for a little while, but I can honesly say I wasnt as blown away as I thought I would be.
Ideally I would give up some of the features for a (smaller) successor to the T68. All I ask is an M-services compliant phone that has 65k screen, Java, bluetooth, MMS, big memory, 16 poly ringtones in a metalised casing, not plastic like a nokia.
SE probably won't announce the release of such a phone until CeBit next year.
2 phones fill almost all my needs that will be out in the 4th quarter, Sharp GX-10 (with built in camera),
http://www.compulenta.ru/2002/3/18/26884/ (its the clamshell phone, for those that don't speak Russian!
and the NEC 515

I dont know the exact address of the CPW, but I can give you directions. If you are at Oxford Circus, and are walking towards Marble Arch, it is on the right side of the road after about 3 minutes. You can't miss it. If you see the department store 'John Lewis', you've missed it!

It was big, but not PDA big. It felt fine in my hand. The only time I noticed the size was when I put it to my ear. I have a HBH-10 that I use in the house, but I would probably use it outside as well if I got this handset.

@Ruvjet:
It crashed the OS when you were playing?
It has polyphonic ringtones?
It has vibrate function?
Thanks a lot,

If you wat to see how big (or small) it is, take a look at this picture. It shows two people playing with the P800. Looks like it's a bit smaller than a Pocket PC, and a bit thicker than a Palm.

The first thing I did was try out the camera. I took a few pics got a feel for it, then out came out of the camera function. When it went back to the main menu, It froze. Then the sales assistant took it off me, and I didn't wait around for him to reboot it.
On the Geman message board
www.telefon-treff.de someone has confirmed it has vibrate. And I think I read in the White paper that it has 16 poly ringtones.

Just went to check it out in Oxford St myself. Seems like a good size to me - in some ways better than the 7650 because of the more rounded edges. The sales assistant said that it's probably likely to be late rather than early October, but I reserved one anyway. He said that they would be the first Carphone Warehouse store to get them in. According to him, it's the biggest mobile phone store in Europe - it just opened on Friday.
I didn't get to play with the phone unfortunately, but the assistant showed a few things on it. He managed to crash it my ejecting the Duo stick while it was in the middle of something. Handwriting recognition seemed good, and the screen was actually a bit better than I'd imagined - very readable under the store lights. I get the impression that it'll be better than the 7650 in normal/bright conditions. The 7650 might be a bit clearer in dark conditions with it's backlighting. The stylus seems tiny - hopefully not as bad as the "toothpick" that I have with my Psion Revo!
