> P800 in the Philippines?
Bookmark topic
Think about the software guys. There's still not much around since it's new... Don't you think the 9210 also has the problem of limited software (I'm not sure about this because I'm not a user)? And if no software comes out in the future, then you might be paying a relatively steep price for a "phone" (because the PDA function is limited). The trusty old palms and pocket PC's may be better options.
Anyway, if all the software comes out, that's when I'll get my hands on a p800 or a higher version.
But don't let this stop you guys from buying the p800. Who know's? Since you guys make the phone popular, many people will start developing software for it. If the sales of the p800 (as in the case of the 9210) does not match or exceed that of the PDA's and Pocket PC's the developers won't bother making applications.
And when I say applications, I mean USEFUL applications... not just games as in the case of the N7650.

I checked the internet and found out that the 7650 and the P800 runs on the same OS (Symbian?... P800's a higher version though). And the people who developed software for 7650's and 9210's are also coming up with P800 versions. That's good to hear.

You can't lug around a P40K PC in your pocket can you?
For me, the best mobile solutions for, more or less, the same price are:
1.)P800
2.)Palm TT and SE T68i
3.)M505 and T68i (Although, why bother? the P800 has a better screen than all the older Palms!)
IDEAL mobile solutions for more money:
1.)P800 or T68i AND Clie NX70 w/ Bluetooth module
2.)P800 or T68i and the newest iPaq w/ Bluetooth
Just for mondo... get a BT plug for your iBook!
I'll check around for the update on iSync and the P800

the P800 is supposed to have better software than the 7650, for example Citrix WinFrame client will be available. Sybase database has been shown by SE already. Oracle to follow soon. It's not the quantity of applications that matter, it's the quality. If only the P800 has (as in now) ListPro, Expensable, Documents to Go (or similar), I'll buy it in a blink.

What does Listpro do? Expensables..not yet (There's a program called JABP, but it looks very dull), Docs to go..for what? Websites? Or just to read word,text, etc? The P800 has built in readers for Word, Excel, Txt, and PDF. Reqwireless has a browser for the P800 that can use any connection method (GPRS, IR, BT, or cable) to surf the web. And I think you can save pages as well.
As far as database SW is concerned... Oracle and CA are developing programs FOR the P800... check out Se's P800 site and check out the Software section... SE has major agreements w/ game developers, CA and Oracle.

Hey guys! P800 is already available here in the philippines! Just saw one at MEMOEXPRESS Sta. Lucia branch! The price? ... P39K!!!! damn! you can buy a palm m515, (get a free creative mp3 player) and a cony cybershot U, and it'll only set you back P29K! (you got a PDA, MP3 PLAYER, and a DIGITAL CAM!) I think they failed to give the p800 a competitive price... guess i have to wait...

jplacson, ListPro is list management. can be used for things such as inventory, groceries, DVD list, etc. etc. etc. Expensable is Travel and Expense Management originally sold by Quicken, now taken over by Expensable.com. Documents to Go are Word, Powerpoint, and Spreadsheet FULL apps, not viewers popular for Palm-based PDAs. How about project management which I also have. These are the REAL applications that I am using.
I'd love to see these on the P800. In fact, the office suite that runs on the old Epoc (where Symbian is based) is superb. Epoc has quality applications which I hope would make to the P800.
