@rudeboymcc: You can get mp3 players a lot smaller, lighter and cheaper than the P800. And, a lot sooner.

I am sorry, but there is really no excuse whatsoever for
to delay that phone!
And you don't start to show the phone on electronic shows and then suddenly delay it for ages without telling anything to customers.
I have no interest in this phone, but here is my 1 cent.
Delaying the phone is fine, but it is the silence coming out of
that people have a big problem with.
It is true that most phone consumers will never know of any delay, but what about the tech-geeks, developers, Independent retailers, big retailers, Investment Analysts, shareholders?
All of these people, bar none, will lose confidence in the company over the 4 month delay.
I honestly believe the joint venture is ruining the name of 2 good companies.
The P800 will not be competing with the 7650, which we all thought it would, but with the 3650, which has a similar feature-set.
Putting aside any Ericsson bias for just a second, who do YOU think will win?
Prove me wrong SonyEricsson, prove me wrong!

While it is true that delays cause people to lose confidence; I don't think 3650 is a worthy competitor to P800. It is a 7650 who as grown and been put through an uglifier-machine.
I think 3650 will fail miserably. It is just too big. If it was the size of P800, then maybe.
P800 competes with MS smartphone, the nokia communicator, pocket pc:s and palms. And there it blows the competition away.
It will be more expensive then both 3650 and 7650; but it will appeal to a wider audience. Hopefully.
And pray to god they release a mineral-gray version of it. It will look smaller and more professional in those colors.

Well sorry, but after the wait for the original T68, then the upgrade, I am not doing it again!!!
I'm finding another phone, in fact the Sharp GX10 looks nice and has all the features i'll need.

Talked with some AT&T and SE reps today, the feildm tests here in America ( dallas, tx , to be precise ) were not good.
As far as the phone working it was fine it would call etc. But the issues lies within Symbian and a stylus, for some reason even standing in front of a tower they coudl not get the P800 to connect to the internet. !?!?!
I said well the 7650 is out and it has symbian, and they pointed out, do you see any nokia phones that use a stylus?
So the release date as far as here is bad!!!!! I want a P800 but i will have to wait or switch to a NOkia
And i really liek the features of my t68i...

its hard for me to imagine the p800 blowing away a pocket pc in terms of pda functionality/usability. i was able to "test drive" a p800 a few weeks ago at a computer expo over here. the p800 is difficult to use compared to any of the popular pocket pcs. and that stylus is truly awful. if all you really want is a pda, you are much better off with an ipaq.
i do admit that it cannot be beat as an "all-in-one" package. however, when will it come out? the p800 that i played with supposedly had the latest software and still kept hanging and did not have all features fully working yet.

Having an ipaq with a gprs/gsm module is a solution for me but the combo is to big although it have all the stuff I will ever want or need, I love to have the p800 but the delay made me switch my t68 to nokia 7650 it’s a nice phone with tones of free software on the net, and by the time the p800 will be released there will be the N3650 waiting on the corner. I love SE but this is very bad….
SE hope you’ll do better than this next time, if there is a next time.

Just to add some petrol to the fire....
I work for o2 and we have recently been having severe problems getting hold of t68i's and its got to such a stage now that they have had to brief the entire company - SE are now apparently into the "unacceptable vendor behaviour" zone.
They are being completely silent about when t68i's will be delivered and not providing any at all.
Probably going to be the same for the p800, sadly enough...
