If you get a call from a number not in your contacts list, it allows you to only add the number to a new contact and not to an old one.

I have been a keen watcher of the P800's development and am glad to see it on the market. It is by far the best smartphone on the market and by the looks of things will be for a long time.

However, after going through this thread and having had a look at the product, I am a bit reluctant to purchase it - especially at current prices in the UK of between £200 and £400. For me, with its current lackings it is only worth £50 - £100.

Some of the things that I think need correcting for a product that costs so much are as follows:

1. Tegic (T9) added

2. Faxing!!! I mean, hello!! The product is more likely to be marketed towards business professionals. So how on earth they expect such a person to be happy with a product that has no fax ability is beyond me. And this rather silly omission existed in their R380 phone too.

3. Alarm - auto power on. It's mentioned here already. It should be possible to set an alarm, switch the phone off, and for the phone to power on temporarily to sound the alarm and then to switch itself back off again when the alarm has been acknowledged.

A bad error that it can't do that. Especially as my T39 can do it!!

4. Sync - Outlook Express and Lotus Organiser. Not everyone has the high end/more expensive MS Outlook and Lotus Notes. So it should be able to sync with the two more common products. But I guess this is something that can be addressed by a third-party program.

5. Portrait view. This should be an option for everything on the phone, especially the browser. As cool as the Opera browser is, landscape view would be better - at least for some users.

6. High capacity battery. This is something I hope they add to the accessories list. The current battery is laughable if you use bluetooth and GPRS you will have to be charging the thing every day (especially on 1800 mhz frequencies like T-Mobile UK and Orange UK).

And they should make the High Capacity Battery Li-Polymer to keep it as small as possible and because LiIon is no longer the top battery technology.

7. The loudspeaker option is not as good as it should be. Has already been mentioned by others.

8. Only recognising the last 7 digits of a number. Silly!! Once you have entered a number as a contact it should recognise all the digits. There should be no confusion between 0207 765 4321 and 0208 765 4321, especially on a phone that costs so much. Earlier Ericsson phones didn't have this problem so this phone shouldn't.


The phone is amazing but seems to be lacking in some pretty basic areas. Some people have said that folks shouldn't complain and we should be grateful for having the best phone on the market, but my view is that we shouldn't accept it just because it is the best phone on the market because the fact of the matter is that most phones on the market aren't that good anyway so being the best phone shouldnt allow the manufacturers to get away with rather silly flaws.

1. Add Undo to pages (particularly contacts).

2. bigger buttons where possible (not itty bitty ones and tons of empty space).

3. Builtin task switching and better resource control (so that I don't have to reboot the unit or use the taskswitcher application to recover memory and close applications).

4. better PC sync software.

5. Opera - why do we need 2 browsers, add WAP support and WAP gateway support to Opera and have one browser.

6. Add Landscape mode for opera.

7. Opera Language support, and builtin font support for extended languages like Hebrew/Arabic... Don't rely on the phone for font support on this.

8. better Opera frame support.

9. Better Javascript support on Opera (particularly openning new windows which tends to happen a few times in opera, instead of once).

10. animated GIFs - use correct timing instead of running all of them at full speed.

11. Email - one alert notification, not one per email (15 emails get you 15 sound alerts!).

12. Add faxing support.

13. Add video recording.

14. Allow video playback to happen when flip is closed too!

15. Support Hotmail!

16. Allow me to mark email messages as read, so they don't cause the icon to appear. Right now I have to delete them (which causes the phone to subsequently delete them from the server too) or read them in order to remove the icon. It was much better on the R380s.

It is Li-Pol... Ericsson has been using Li-Pol for their premium phones since the T28 days. And yes Li-Ion is old tech nology... tell that to Nokia.

The current battery life is well over ANY pda on the market... don't compare the P800 battery life to a phone if you use it like a PDA.

YES!!!! I couldn't agree more. Those have annoyed the heck out of me, and it would be so easy to fix!

I'd also like to second the request for syncing Outlook categories!

I want a joystick/d-pad. Make a small hardware device which goes in place of the flip (the bit on the bottom that unclips and can be replaced with a 'blank') that has something on it that would make the majority of games playable. One thing the P800 is missing is a decent control for games. Most other PDAs have direct directional control buttons which is useful for navigation and games.
