I bought a Voda VSH801 from Japan which is also usable internationally. I purchased two other 3G phones from there which are not yet usuable internationally, but offer the most features I've ever seen in any phones. Japan is leading the market in 3G technology. With that said, I have no doubt that 3G will become a standard internationally within the next few years. Especially because they are developing their phones to be GSM and WCDMA compatible.

The link is in Danish but you should be able to se the MSD in the product specifications

The pressrelease of SE site says:
The
P910 supports up to 1GB Memory Stick Duo Pro, creating almost endless possibilities to store and share images, video, music and business data.

I think SE uses MSD just as a short cut.

Very interesting to SE the P900-910 screens compared to the S700-710 screen sizewise!

Gigs mentioned (on page3) "As far as I can see are making it a smarter smart phone, I doubt they'll release a completely new one until the new symbian is available.(makes sense) but an upgrade in the mean time for new owners and current p800 owners looking to upgrade IS a good thing. "
someone else metioned that more people that don't have an SE phone then one's that do....
that latter may be right but the tide IS changing especially according to recent quarterly results that beat Wall St analysts expectations considerably.
Gigs sorry to you and everyone else I love the design of the P900 very much but I feel this was a Nokia job.
First there is NO EDGE support.....think about this Ericsson makes and supports THE MOST AMOUNT of 3G networks amongs Nokia & the CDMA king Qualcomm on a worldwide basis. They knew EDGE is important because they DID announce the s700 without it and then today the s700a WITH EDGE!!! this phone has a megapixel camera.
Second, nice screen resolution 262,000 colors+, but WHAT good IS IT IF you only got a VGA cam resolution to take photos and videos with. -->big screwup here (think about usuability)
Third & Fourth, and speaking about usuability, look at the success with Handsring's (now PalmOne's) Treo 600. Huge amount of apps & usuability of the device especially with the qwerty keyboard. That said SE learned that they MUST include a qwerty keyboard yet they implemented it in an asinine way????!!!! Think of all of you wanting to buy the p910 how brave are you to hold the flip lid ALONE to thumb text entry while the weight of the phone fights you while to attempt to do so??? DO you think the hinge is strong enough? I doubt it is!! And for you ought there that WILL use the qwerty keyboard imagine how you'll hold it steady using your fingers to text entry at a high speed (25+ wpm) to do so. From my imagination it doesn't look good. My 4th, and an arguement to disagree with Gigs is the Symbian OS is now at version 8!! Nokia , sorry to curse again but, is going to ship the 6630 WITH version 8, the recent 7200 model with 1.3MP Cam has version 7. There is NO excuse to be stuck with 7 with no 1.3 Cam.
Oh 5th there is NO mention of increased CPU speed or even a higher class GPRS radio?? Also no mention of one hand operation with the UIQ interface?! Come-on boys did Sony yank your balls and tell you, at Ericsson, that this model would cannibalize sales of the s700?? IT SHOULD ITS THE TOP LINE for your marketing model on a worldwide basis!!!!
Whew with all that said I think that this is to attract non-previous owners to purchase, but for those that already own the P900 - it'll suck to see those beautiful images from s700 owner's MMS'ing you with their 1.3 MP cams or from other phones and realizing you cam is smaller than there's hehe (think of your bulge). Hehehe.
Sony better have a better smartphone up their sleeves.

and with that megapixel camera the S700 possibly has more use for EDGE. but the fact is EDGE isn't that important, particularly in the many worldwide markets that won't support it at all, and SE know this.

Well yes, think about usability, and your answer is blindingly obvious. There's been no "screw up". The P910 is a multimedia phone with a LARGE screen that also happens to be the primary user interface - you can be sure they'll improve it every time they revisit the design, and that has NOTHING to do with the camera. They could rip the camera out completely in the P1000 and it's a safe bet they'd still improve on the screen, assuming it was possible.
Of course the camera has been improved - it's now the better quality (tho same resolution) unit from the K700. Why isn't is the same as the S700's? Because business people don't need that, and don't want to pay for that, simple.
Quote:Third & Fourth, and speaking about usuability, look at the success with Handsring's (now PalmOne's) Treo 600. Huge amount of apps & usuability of the device especially with the qwerty keyboard.
Bunkum. The "huge amount of apps" are thanks to the long-established Palm user/developer base, and have little to do with the Treo. Considering the base they both had to start on, SE's Px00 series is both a more innovative and more successful product.
Quote:That said SE learned that they MUST include a qwerty keyboard yet they implemented it in an asinine way????!!!!
More rubbish. They didn't have to include a keyboard at all, they've been doing perfectly well with just the keypad and touchscreen, and it's notable that by adding it now they've become the ONLY manufacturer to cover all the bases. Which input method you choose has always been personal choice, and there's never been any hard and fast rule about which is most popular, but now the P910 supports all of them..
As for the "asinine" implementation, the only reviewer that's actually tried it (eldar) says it works just fine. What makes you think you know better?
Quote:Think of all of you wanting to buy the p910 how brave are you to hold the flip lid ALONE to thumb text entry while the weight of the phone fights you while to attempt to do so??? DO you think the hinge is strong enough? I doubt it is!!
Again, Eldar says it is, and he's actually tried one. You know, in his hands. For real. You'll get to try one too, soon, in the shop before you buy.
Quote:And for you ought there that WILL use the qwerty keyboard imagine how you'll hold it steady using your fingers to text entry at a high speed (25+ wpm) to do so. From my imagination it doesn't look good.
Oh, it doesn't look good in your imagination? Can you post some pics?

And what was Symbian 8 going to give us? Why do we need that on this phone? What's the advantage we're missing out on there? Have you the faintest idea, or are you just playing the highest-number-is-best game?
Quote:Oh 5th there is NO mention of increased CPU speed or even a higher class GPRS radio?? Also no mention of one hand operation with the UIQ interface?!
Higher CPU speed = higher battery drain - no thanks, absolutely no need, especially not with the extra memory provided. There is no higher GPRS aside from EDGE (E-GPRS), so forget that. One handed operation? That's called flip up.
Quote:Come-on boys did Sony yank your balls and tell you, at Ericsson, that this model would cannibalize sales of the s700?? IT SHOULD ITS THE TOP LINE for your marketing model on a worldwide basis!!!!
Nope, it's top of their communicator/smartphone line. That does not mean it has to beat the S700, which is a (very nice) toy for home users, and become more expensive, larger, heavier, slower, etc just to have "1.3" stamped on the back.

That seems about the size of it.
