another couple of things.....

It doesn't have a touch screen, im sorry if you want to have a 'phone of the future' then touch screen has got to be a must!

Also as mentioned above it's operating system is Microsoft........ enough said really!

Not bad but as usual NO bluetooth! Why is so hard for phone companies to implement this simple function into a phone!? I'm sure it can't cost that much more to put a bt chip in there. No one uses bluetooth like SE does.

@soulframe

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong but with Bluetooth it's not just the cost of adding the BT chip, you have to pay a licensing fee to use it aswell. Thats where it costs so much.

it does have removable storage, it shows you a picture and states that it takes SD cards down the bottom!

@thebruce
sorry fella didnt see that! still dont think it is a decent p800 competitor it looks like it will just be seen as a clamshell version of the orange spv and therefore wont have the 3rd party software support we enjoy

I saw one of these on the Intel stand at ECTS

They are no competitor IMO. Their principle design is mobile gaming. I played a multiplayer 3d racing game over GPRS with a guy from Terraplay.

Very very smooth gaming but as a P800 replacement.. not a chance. This a gamers toy, not a multi-function like the P800.

The screen is so small. I really wonder quite why they have packed so much into it (IE, Outlook, Sync... blah).
