I want to say that the P800 can withstand an amazingly high level of humidity. I took quite a few "close" photos at the System Of A Down performance at Reading Festival on the Bank Holiday Sunday. It was very hot and very squashed in the centre, near the barrier and the security team were throwing water over us to keep people from fainting.
It was particularly difficult taking in-focus shots as the light faded with thousands of people pushing you so hard you couldn't breath... and, after all this there were no marks on the phone and the screen didn't have any condensation inside.
Just in case I brought it only a few days before, so that it was completely covered if anything bad happened to the phone.
Please check out some of my pics (just at 115 at Reading so far) at:

(Please leave some comments, as I have none so far)
I found that I can update my gallery directly from my phone, just that Orange charge too much per MB for the privilage. The file upload works without any problems on Opera. Orange have givem me 3 months free WAP connection, but this doesn't appear to work on normal websites - the only ones worth viewing. The terms of their free connection doesn't appear to be well defined - I had to phone them twice to get a decent explanation on what was actually allowed within the deal. I think I am now paying £7 for 4MB inclusive GPRS per month, then £2/MB after that - a normal website could cost a few quid just to get in. Anyone else have experience with Orange an what you can get away with on the internet?
Please post your photo gallery links here, especially if anyone else has done something similar. I only saw one other person with a P800 the entire time I was there... but then, I did drink an entire bottle of vodka before 3pm .
Oh yeah... sorry about my first posting with the appz (the post has been take off), I just wanted Tetris (I found a copy now).

I had real bad experience with Orange.
They told me that they have a standard tariff of £4 per month, which they call a "fair-usage policy" of having a 1Mb cap!
They are VERY clever with their words, saying GRPS is active 24/7, for £4 pm. Over a period of one month, having IM software running, reading my emails and looking at annanova, I'd managed to download over 8Mb! My bill......£97 for the month!
Not nice

Please phone Orange and tell them. They warned that I could be charge £10/MB if they weren't on their "internet saver" plan (or something like that). You will be able to get this money back as they said that many people (not surprisingly) make a mistake in calculating their internet usage. You shouldn't pay more than £3/MB for whatever you used.

if u have a contract with orange uk, they charge £3 per Mb for ad hoc GPRS usage... until a couple of months ago (when the free wap offer started) i was buying a bundle for which my first 2Mb GPRS cost £4, and anything above that charged at the ad hoc rate.
the bundles come in various sizes (1, 2, 4, 8 Mb etc.) - i used to adjust mine to the size i thought i'd need, but hey you can rollover the extra u don't use (i ended up with loads,
then wap went free - doh!)
don't know how some people got charged such astronomical amounts...

The WAP went free... but what can you actually do with the Orange GPRS WAP connection? I was told that anything other than viewing WAP websites would be charged as a standard GPRS usage. Is this the case for you, or can you view other websites on the Orange GPRS WAP connection without being charged?

OrangeGPRSWAP APN = £4/Month "Unlimited" Wap access (generally capped at 10MB)
OrangeGPRSInternet APN = Expensive, but functional. You can buy in bundles, i.e. 1MB, 2MB, 4, etc.
If you want internet over the OrangeGPRSWAP APN, just don't use opera
For some reason, the built in browser works with the WAP APN - this isn't a problem with Opera, more a fortunate quirk with the built in browser. Make sure you're using the WAP APN though, could be expensive otherwise!

You were lucky that your phone survived that close to the front of the stage, I took my T68 instead of my T610 (Probably because my phone was being unbranded at the time). At the end of the evening we found so many phones,watches, cash and stuff at the front there I am surprised anybody walked away with any of thier possesions. Anyway I also took photos from Reading. Mine are here:
