Personally I think the P800 is a little clumpy. I mean, it doesn't seem that handy to hold in your hand. I think this is a little mistake by SonyEricsson, making it the same colors as the T68i. As I and other people on this forum has mentioned earlier, the light blue color look a little cheap and plastic. And it therefore doesn't seem that stable in quality.

And that keyboard you can flip down is getting more and more equal to Motorola-phones. This is out from the cellphone community now, still in in the states though. Motorola is the best selling cellphone there. Strange, but true.

Another strange thing I don't like with the P800 is that the keyboard-flip doesn't cover the whole screen. In my opinion that's a mis in the design, it seems like the cover is cut down with a saw and just flicked on.

Some people say that you can remove the keyboard. But then you'll get the feeling of walking around with an incomplete cellphone, and maybe the feeling what you've payed for stuff you don't use anyway. And, of course, one of the most important parts; why buy a phone you're not satisfied with? I mean, if you remove the keyboard-flip, you're probably not satisfied with the phone. And you shouldn't have bought it in the first place.
Another thing that is worth mentioning; if you remove the keyboard -- doesn't the big screen behind it broke when you have it in your pocket etc? It doesn't have any cover at all. It may be broken fast if you choose that solution.

Personally I think Nokias solution on the keyboard is better, you just slide it down from behind. And that feature cuts the phone in two peaces. I like it, but I hope they have made it stable to hold -- and I hope we don't get the feeling of that the keyboard will fell of or feel loose.

SonyEricsson did the oposite thing. They made the phone bigger just to have enough space for the keyboard. The width of the phone is too big to, after my opinion.

The T68 has a REALLY nice design, what happened to the designer of the P800? Maybe he had to much cafein It seems like Sony came and "destroyed" Ericssons nice looking T68 (With their T68i) and the transfered the look of it further to the P800.

I think it's possible to make a phone smaller and still have a big enough screen.

Be honest with yourselves? Do you really like the look of the P800? Well, I'm not going to buy it in the first place. I want something stylis, like the Nokia 7650. This is where my dilema comes. I'm sick of being betatester for Nokia. I've used their phones for many, many years.. Untill now when I got my nice T68, I love it. Nokia have to much bugs, and I think we'll be without the bugs in the P800. But, the looks on it make me doubt on which phone to bye next time. The 7650 or the P800?

In fact I think that the P800 is better on the inside than the 7650. I've also heared rumours that then you have the keyboard folded out in the 7650 and you are writing SMS. The topper part of the phone feels to heavy. Therefore it's not that comfortable to use.

I'm almost sure that the P800 is much better on the inside than the 7650 (I like the look on the 7650 better though). And Nokias knows that. Therefore I think Nokia will make a new phone directly after releasing the 7650, just to keep up with Ericsson. Another thing that might happend is that Nokia delays the release of their new phone, just to install the new features. Then SonyEricsson will be out with it first anyway.

But, ooooh. I can't believe you prefere the look of the P800 before the 7650. I think almost all of you like the 7650 best, but you can't tell it loud:) You just can't commit that Nokia made a better looking phone.

I'm neutral though. I'm sick of Nokia, and I love my new T68.

Any comments?

My problem is since Nokia seems to view the USA as the a$$ end of the mobile market then my choice comes down to do I like the P800 better or do I like the P800 better?? ahah I actually like the off white and blue coloring and think its cool as opposed to the normal silvers and blacks of mobile phones. I do dig on my T68 and hopefully sometime will get the MMS upgrade without haveing to be without my phone for days.

I wish someone would adjust their marketing view of the USA and allow us nice things such as service centers where we could update our firmware without shipping it to SonyEricsson USA.

I do wish that the P800 was more like the Comdex prototype. And they should have put a memory stick slot in it for playing MP3s and for storing pictures. That would be very sweet...12MB isn't much for storing pictures.

So my only debate is will the size of the new P800 be worth the tradeoff for the features. Of course if it costs an ungodly amount of $$ then its right out. My guess would be it will retail at 500-600 pounds? OF course everyone will gouge you until they become easily obtainable.

Thank goodness SonyEricsson has the balls and the foresight to make tri-band GSM phones so the outcast geeks here in the US can still have the latest mobile tech.

I forgot. Another important factor is the storage room. I hope P800 will have more than 12 MB. I think we need about 64 MB for such a multimedia phone with sound and video.

If we only get it with 12, I hope it's room for a little chip with more RAM. Like the Siemens Sl-45 had. It'll get expensive though.

Will the new phone have room for more RAM slots?

To jac12
I wasn't talking about the P800, I was talking about that new model which you can see if you look at the pic on the web site I gave!


I think Nokia 7650 looks better than P800 but 'knows' less than P800

I expected SonyEricsson to release a really good multimedia phone with nice design and 'big knowledge'but P800 is not it!

I found a mobile which satisfies my needs it's called Sendo Z100.This phone has not been released yet (they should have released it long ago as I read about it) but its features are excellent!

Hi,
If any of you live near London, on the 14th Emblaze.com are having a public/shareholder meeting re the end of year results. They are partners witn Ericsson & many others, I think the latest Ericsson phones will be shown as they are leaders in G3 and streaming video. I hope we will be in for a few surprises.

We shouldn't really start worrying about the p800, it's not even released yet and god knows what will happen in september.

They might change it for the better, nothing to say till it's out though.

I doubt SonyEricsson have the time to make a new look ion the P800. I think we'll get it as it is now. I think it's a pitty though.

So todays releaseinfo-date is september?

DARK > the SE-model you gave the link to, is the prototype shown on Comdex Fall last year.
It should only be a prototype,..but of course one could hope that SE will do that one

Yes it does have Sony Memory stick and should have 65000+ colors.

Yep,..would look something like an Ipaq H3870, same numbers of colors,..very neat

Thats why I hoped that this prototype would come.

BTW: the NEC 515 has got 65000 colors too I believe
