The news about the duo stick for the P800 is what weve all been waiting for but it now raises a couple more questions that maybe some of you guys who hinted about this upcoming news can answer?1)did SE know all along they would be adding memory stick but didnt put on the CeBit versions etc as they werent ready to unviel the new duo format?2)if this is correct the september release that is being quoted here in the UK wont be effected,but if not,ie it was an afterthought when are we likely to now see a release?surely this would set it back to about christmas?3)finally price?ive seen quotes of $500 US etc which as much as i would like seem far too low,here in the UK CPW etc are quoting between £350-400 with connection.anyone here got more solid info?someone who works for/with SE maybe?thanks guys............daz

The release should still be Q3,..no differences here.
I spoke to SE on the bluetooth-show in Amsterdam this friday,..and the P-800 was there too
Sonyericssons vice president spoke at the show about the importance of the memorystick-functionality,..that does more than suggest, that they knew they were gonna put this option in the P-800.
As You say yourself, they might have had to work on the Duo-format before announcing it to the public.

Must admit I didnt notice it,..basically because I didnt think about it the first time I spoke to SE,..they didnt have the P-800 the first time I looked,..but when I returned to their stand,..it was there

Hi... I think its really great that SE put dev duo memory stick into the P 800. Now you can do so much more with it. I heard that the memory stick will be mrs till 128 MB.. Than you can much more ivan the communicator form nokia.. Cheers from a big SE fan from norway.. Sven

i cant wait to see one in the flesh now!this news has revitalised my interest in the product,ive been looking into buying a pda-come-phone for ages now and was put off the otherwise perfect P800 by the lack of expandable memoryive had a new O2 XDA(also known as WALLABY/JOEY) for the last 5 days or so and thats an amazing piece of kit,im going to hold out to see the P800 before making a purchase now,hopefully the P800 will be cheaper as well!(the XDA starts at £500 here in the UK)

thankgod i didn't get the XDA for 600 euro's with a contract yesterday.... I have hope that the P800 will be available soon.... seems like the SE declared war with their Killer P800 against all the others

scoota>just out of interest what stopped you gettin the XDA(assuming you didnt know about MS in P800?),600 euros seems a really good price for it....

well, the xda has a very bad reputation concerning the standby time, because of the platform it uses it consumes much more memory and Battery... and it might sound stupid, but i had a feeling that i wouldn't be satisfied with it, i had hope that the p800 would be available very soon... A shop-owner i know, has agreed with SE to sell the first 40 P800's in holland... so hopefully i do not have to wait that long anymore... by the way check the following link
http://a9.g.akamai.net/7/9/5671/v101/ericssonmo1.download.akamai.com/5761/p800.zip there is a great flash movie about P800 especially the part with Men In Black ROCKS big time!

600 euro's with a 50 euro per month contract isn't that cheap, is it?
