This is a useless thread, cos aren't going to do shit about anything..... But i think this should be improved:

-T9 (for handwriting maybe)
-outlook, word,.... editing
-Profiles
-the ability to EXIT programmes
-battery improvement
-more stabile software
-ability to choose default browser
-better camera with nightshot etc.
-sms report
-alarm when off
-better reception
...

I'm sorry to dis your thread, but this has been done so many times and just don't care... wish they did...

i just want SE to once have a phone that does not collect dust under the screen! this was a constant problem with my t68i which l had to keep cleaning and now after a month i have a spec of dust under my p800 screen which whilst being unnoticabe in the light it is annoying me in the dark with just the backlight on... just hope i dont get more and wonder how easy it is to get it cleaned if it does become a problem?


apart from that i have no real grumbles with this truly fantastic phone

Let's keep it on topic people.

My recommendations:

* Use Case Scenario: I don't like carrying more electronics with me than I need. I use my P800 for everything, including the time. At night, I just want to hit a button and see the time... while you are displaying the message "hit * to unlock", can't you just throw the time on there as well?

* Use Case Scenario: Remote schedule/contacts/task synchronization. A novelty of PDA-phones is that GPRS can synchronize people's schedule with Outlook Exchange Server without even thinking about it by being constantly connected, a truly seamless remote-scheduling use case scenario. I agree with the fellow who said SE should have a SyncML server and service, subscription if need be, my corporation will pay for it... Imagine the sales you could make by sticking to business use case scenarios and making people really SEE the purpose of these smart phones!!

* File Manager and Task Manager should have been included as standard apps

* Expansion Memory: Should have used a Secure Digital slot, the available memory of SD is already at 512MB and your memory stick is at a whopping 64. I am more prone to accept proprietary hardware when it's at least superior to the competition. SHAME ON YOU for pushing your inferior proprietary memory technology, SE.

* I would like to connect my custom headphones to the P800 instead of the included earbuds that come with it. Those earbuds don't stay in my ear, and I am attached to the headphones I already have. I wonder if there is some sort of converter I can get to make your proprietary connector work with a standard 1/8 inch stereo headphones connector?

* Can't send files, except for pictures using the built-in camera application via bluetooth to other bluetooth-enabled devices. This would be a standard feature built into a good file manager

* I don't know if SE or Symbian was responsible for the version of SyncML in this phone, but whose idea was it to combine Calendar and Tasks? Where I had my T68i working with mightyphone.com SyncML Service, this P800 fails because it can't find the tasks database on mightyphone.com. Synchronization aborts. I don't want to sync tasks, but it would seem i can't turn it off.

* A built-in flash for the camera would have been nice, but I know there are electronic space constraints in the device.

I know business analysists and engineers can't think of everything.. I think the features and thought that went into the P800 are extensive and for the most part very complete.

I think that just T9 and delivery reports for SMS would make me just about happy.

If no one has mentioned it yet....

The ability to be able to hit a speed dial and then select the number you want to call, rather than having to select a number when you first assign the speed dial...

Or at least the ability to change the name reference under the speed dial picture...

if they first sort out all things which are typically for mobile phones only, it would be a nice thing (Bluetooth 100%, SMS report, T9, voice recording during call, better interface at some places, flawless sync'ing etc). All the other bells & whistles (FM etc) is secondary.

After all that, if we could use the cam as a webcam through USB (feeding what is displayed on the phone directly towards USB), now that would be nice

and recharging directly using USB without additional PSU could be nice aswell...

on the other hand, this thread is probably more interesting to the competition that SE themselves...

my top wish is really SMS delivery report, I miss that soooooooooooo much, it really annoys me esp when I used that functionality since 7 years and now with the world's no.1 phone I don't have it anymore. And my operator couldn't help me any further with hashcodes for this, all that were suggested here didn't work.

been using my p800 for 2 days now.. its quite lovely actually cept for some glaring oversights the SE engineers overlooked (and they get paid for this?)

its good that you can fix most of these problems thru firmware updates, its just a hassle to bring it in to your dealer and get it fixed

someone posted an idea for a gaming pad that would sling underneath.. I'm all for that! that would be wicked cool if SE looked into it. The Clie has one, so I don't see why the p800 can't have one!

an add on flash would be great.. as it is lowlight pictures suck like hell, so I have to give props to nokia's 7650/3650 in this department.

touchscreen calibration seems to get off pretty easily... software or hardware problem?

my earpiece seems to sound exceptional, the mic seems ok so far... I have no gripes with making phone calls.

since the screen turns for power saving, maybe SE can have the green light on the rightside blink faster if you have an sms in your inbox waiting to be read? I believe the older ericsson phones had this..

anyways I love the phone... and I'll be breaking it in some more over the next few days! cheers!

Add-on Flash is coming soon, as is the NEW FM receiver. (If you really want one, the HPR-11 has been out long before Nokia ever even heard of radio)

Handy Day allows you to check on the time with just one button...as well as lock/unlock your phone using a hardware key without using the virtual flip.

Symbian is an OS... there's an upgrade due in April, so let's see what has listened to. As I see it, the P800's hardware shortcoming seem to be Sony's fault...Good screen-but not the latest organic LED or transreflective LCDs, MS Duo, Jogdial (I like it, but they should've used a D-pad instead), ugly keypad, baby blue color, bland over-all design.

Everything else can be fixed with either a FW upgrade or 3rd party app. Even Linux doesn't come DEFAULT with Star Office. I expect a stable & customizable OS... this way I can make it do what I want...not what wants.

Word/Excel editors should come from a 3rd party... I don't think would be able to do a good job on that one. My main gripe is that the Psion 5mx had Word/Excel editors... why Symbian stopped developing these apps is beyond me... even if they were just basic editors.

So far, the P800 has been out for about 4-5 months... considering what it can do...and all the apps that are available for it... not bad... not bad at all. BUT it CAN and SHOULD be better. I have about 30 apps installed... and I'm barely using half of the P800's potential. and Symbian should really work on unlocking its full potential...the SW is really holding it back... and Sony... we know you guys are money hungry @#$%^ ... but come on... larger Duos please!!!! Either that, or 's next phones should come with SD slots instead!

anyone actually try to use the powerpoint viewer? Fuggedaboutit! It sucks. Won't load presentation that have photo's in it, won't advance past any slide with an animation in it. displays presentation horizontally in a vertical window, why not allow it be displayed portrait and just turn the phone horizontally to view?
