> P800 in first quarter of 2003
Bookmark topic
I have talked to SE Customer Service and to a guy who has definitely more knowledge than the regular customer service represantatives and found out that it is considered to be marketed in the first quarter of next year, but with a lot of surprises which would justify the long waiting, and one of them will be that it will have a 32MB Memory Stick Duo instead of 16MB which was shown during CEBIT Eurasia Istanbul and some more surprises....
By the way the info I had before and posted here about normal Memory Sticks working with P800 was wrong, sorry about that, the new info is that P800 works only with MSDuo, but MSDuo can be used with an adapter to work in the other Sony products which use Memory Stick!

What a ridiculous idea! I would settle for having a P800 with a 8mb MS Duo NOW rather than wait till Jan 2003 for a P800 that comes with a 32mb Duo...
If your info is correct theres got to be a better reason for the delay you are alleging!

@DmX: The SE website is really not the place where you would find such information. SE seems very reluctant in publishing information which sound bad for them. Remember, the production of the Z700 model has been misteriously cancelled a long time ago and there is still no word about it on SE's site. They just decided to remove all info about the announced phone from the site and hope no one would remember that it was there in the first place. No press-release, no nothing... How pathetic...
@Starter: The 32MB MSDuo is not the reason for the delay, Ally never said that. The reason is SE's incompetence in producing a sophisticated piece of device like the P800. The phone's SW is very unstable and seems to be crashing all the time and SE doesn't seem to be able to fix it. I thought that Sony's and Ericsson's experience would be really helpful for the success of SE, but that is obviously not the case. No wonder Ericsson wants out...

You're full of crap.
SE is not developing the UI; that's Symbian 7.0, a.k.a Quartz.
My cousin is one of the early testers of the P800 At first, the software was unstable (to be expected), but he's upgraded it. So far, all is stable and he's happy with it. It seems the main reason SE is delaying it now is Sony's insitance on using the MSDuo, and ramping up the production in france.

Actually, Symbian 7.0 is just the base OS. The UI used in P800 is called UIQ (not Quartz - that's the name of an older version). The problem is, you can't just take the OS and the UI and install it on every possible device out there. You have to modify it a little to be able to install it on a different device. And, SE has to make its own special hardware interfaces (e.g. MSDuo slot) and additional software (e.g. MP3 and the video player). That seems to be causing them A LOT of problems... Otherwise, the P800 would be out by now.
