> 3G three live in Jan - too late for P800
Bookmark topic
I would give up on the P800... too little/too late...
3G services are going live in the UK in january with three =>
www.three.co.uk
Their handsets from NEC look amazing and you get premier league football clips - goals highlights as they happen. I think the P800 is old before its even released.

I would suggest that one should be cautious taking up 3G services with three. The NEC handset you mentioned has a battery life of 50 hours only, i.e. it will only last half a day in the real life condition (experience from 3G phones in Japan which had 55 hours standby time). So Getting P800 could be a better bet still, in terms of the practicality.

Glad you think battery life in unimportant on 3G. I will stick to a phone that can last as long as the current 2G phones, thank you.

the phones of today are not good for 3G not even the upcomming nokia and motorola 3G phones. they all have poly-ion battery. for 3G you need alot of power so we need those new alcohol batterys. and no don't think of drinking from you battery guys, i think it will taste like hell.

Why bother. 3G will be for some in the beginning, but for the masses, there will not have a breaktrue for atleast 2 years. Who the f**k will pay 100 euro / month + rates for using a phone?
As with everything, the price will come wonw, and the services will popup. But not now.

@lingart - sorry mate I don't agree with that = T68 was way ahead of it's time - there are a few phones now better in some respects - but not many - P800 will be a good seller if priced right - it HAS been a long time coming though - I wouldn't be surprised if 3 was late launching though - and only business users or spoilt rich kids will join 3 - £350+ for a handset & £50 a month line rental - extortion my son - I want videophones - but not at this price & video coverage won't be everywhere either!!! If I was rich I'd get one - but I'm not - Orange dont pay me enough wages to defect

I hate to disagree orangeman as an orange customer I really love orange and dont particularly want to leave.However lets consider the facts.The rumours are that you will get a lot of data and voice calls perhaps as much as 40 hours a month and numerous sms mms etc as well as video and stuff where it is available.Consider my current plight where i have 2 phones on orange one of which is on talk 400 @50 per month then you add care and my pay as u go on o2 for the 300 free texts that takes me to 60 per month already without in front or anything else and i still got to carry two phones.
Come one hutchison you did fine when you launched orange lets get you going now.I want you lol.
BTW i wonder why they didnt choose orange to share their 2 g with as they originally were orange

hutchinson offloaded em (owned by voda/mannesman now france telecom - but u knew that) they still own/have options on other 'oranges' such as orange hk & some others - would have made sense for them to merge with 3 - but there was a new licence & oftel wants more competition - when it will come - orange 3g releases 03 - probably last quarter - but who knows???
