chungagoring Posts: > 500
money is relative. if you say 800 is excessive then if i buy a car for 1000 i'm crazy too? no, it depends on what you buy.
i am definetly not buying a mobile phone at all. i'm buying a device that will save my life. there is not a single day in which at least once i'm in a situation in which i think "holy damn sh*t, i had to have the f*cking p800 to do this".
the thing is that i always use the 95% of the possibilities of all devices (and software, and to everything in general). i don't leave any remote spot without rumagging it. i make my own necessities and i don't see bad point on this. they're things that ease my life. i wouldn't be able to live without reading email on my phone and i see gprs as something absolutely essential.
why do i NEED a p800 by chungagoring.
i always carry with me:
1. a t65: a mobile phone that can read emails, do gprs, have all my contacts and schedules syncronized with outlook and certain degree of personalization.
2. a spycam 300xs: a ultra small ultra light low quality digital camera but enough for taking photos of anecdotes or simply situations or whatever i come across and need to take a shot.
3. a notebook: a worn out blue papyrus notebook where i jot down everything, draw, put ideas i have. when i finish it, complete all the pages, i buy another notebook. same color same brand. i was born with the right hand in "holding a pencil" position and for computers i don't use mice i use wacom tablets.
now, the p800 offers me "a mobile phone that can read emails, do gprs etc."; "a ultra small ultra light low quality digital camera etc."; and "a notebook where i jot down everything, draw etc.". and each one of this features, highly improved.
so sounds great for me for the moment.
but the real point is that
in addition, the p800 will let me (now i'm going to strictly tell the things i'm going to use, not everything the p800 is capable):
-write texts in an electronic device, not in paper, fast with a bluetooth keyboard, so i don't have to write them again in the computer.
-vectorize directly logos or drawings i've done.
-see html pages that i feel like seeing (i want to see or do things in the very first moment i feel like seeing or doing them), including esato.
-see all attachements in emails the same way as in the computer.
-be connected to msn messenger anywhere i am.
-remote control my pc via bluetooth from the bathroom (i can't waste time!)
-connect to internet via bluetooth my future tablet pc.
i say all this 100% serious and i am really going to do all that and more.
and everything in a one single device, enough small and light, with touch screen to have the right hand in "holding a pencil" position, that in addition, looks great to me.
for only 800.
that is the key. after saying all that, i really see it as
only 800.
800 for a new and improved style of life. yes please, thank you very much.
to summarize, 800 is a lot money for me. i'm only 20 and i survive doing small and bad paid websites. of course is a lot of money. but if i had to buy a fiat cinquecento for 5000 it would still be a lot of money. and people who buy an audi s8 they spend so much more money and no one says anything (in fact i am the first one who understand this people). it's not about "ΏΏΏare you nuts you're gonna pay that dough for a car??? come on, it's just a car, buy a cinquecento!"

@chungagoring guess what ..i`ve thought of another use for your "holding a pencil hand"....ho ho...i am looking forward to mine as much as you, but i used my ipaq for scribbling notes which is handy but i`m worried that i read somewhere that the p800 touch screen is only the lower two thirds of the screen, which deosn`t sound as good cos thats a tiny TINY area.

Don't worry. Touch screens are always on the entire surface area of the screen. It doesn't save the manufacturers any money to limit the touchscreen to only part of the screen.
Perhaps what you mean is that with flip closed, the touch screen is de-activated, but yet the keypad works by touching the screen. This is because the phone is designed not to respond to screen input and act like a normal phone with flip closed. With the flip open, the entire screen is touchscreen--you can now touch to your heart's content.
:D
Hope that helps.

btw, chungagoreng, that was a great essay. Most of the people who complain about the price are cheapos who want a BMW for the price of a Hyundai. P800 is priced quite reasonably to the devices which perform almost the same things: eg, O2 xda, most PPCs, high end Clies.
And don't start on the Nokia 7650. There's no way any sensible person can mistake THAT for a PDA.
