> P800 or a PDA??
Bookmark topic
I'm very interested in the upcoming P800 but if it's gonna cost £550 new then getting a PDA with more memory and bluetooth (to connect to T68) is sounding like more of an option.
After all the 16Mb stick the P800 comes with is gonna fill up very quickly and the new DUO sticks will cost a small fortune when they come out.
I know the P800 has a camera as well but with no lense cover it could easily get broken.
So what do ppl think?
(And please don't just rush in saying "P800 cause it's cool!". I'd like some educated opinions).

What you have said make sense and I agree with you. The memory stick that comes along is really quite limited but its free with the phone. I think in the market right now there's no pda that come with free memory add-on.
I have to admit that its big compare to t68 and thick. But its a smartphone that not only look nice but functions that are useful! I can read my webmail and even download attachments (in different format that the phone supported).....etc
I would love to own one for the fact that it has all the functions that I want. And especially after the nice experience I am having with t68.

I was going to give you my opinion, but I not sure if it would be "educated" enough. Is a Phd. in condescension sufficient?

I just posted this link in another thread but its also worth you looking at it too (
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=HTC-GPRS-PDA ). It certainly spins my wheel, it looks like it has everything you would find in a P800 and an IPaq 3970 except the Bluetooth and camera. The bluetooth can be provided via the SD slot. So how important is a camera?

I like the fact that with a P800 you have all features in one,you never have to sync meetings and contact from one device to another and you only have to sync one device with your computer.On the other hand Symbian might take some time to get nice and useful applications.The memory looks good to me provided you sync it repeatedly enough.I would buy P800 because all in one can be much easier to handle and,in the end,more useful.But that is my opinion...I would not like to have 2 gadgets if one can make it al

I usually hate all-in-one devices. They attempt to do everything, and end up doing nothing excellently.
So I'd rather have a separate PDA and a phone. At least, if something happens to one device, the other device is still useful.

MrHat: Just a note about the price. Everyone is complaining about how expensive P800 is, and you yourself mentioned how expensive Sony MS Duos are. So isn't the P800's price justified by a MS Duo 8MB is included? And the fact that it replaces 2, 3 different devices at once?

We are still speculating about prices. I'm quite hopefull that the P800 will be subsidised by networks which are keen to see people use more data servies, and MMS.
But at £550 I would also lean towards a pda with a large installed user base, and lots more software et cetera...
I do like the P800 from what we've seen, but it won't be as good a pda as a 3970, as small a phone as a T68 and the camera is "average" with no flash.
It is going to have to be reasonably priced for me to buy it, say around £300 with a contract

If i was gonna get antother PDA it would definately be an iPAQ, the P800 is a very good idea but i think it would be too limited in the functionality!! i hardly will ever use the camera as i've got a decent digi cam, also i got a decent phone. And comparing a P800 to the iPAQ as a PDA there's really no competion.
Depends on really how much u like all in one devices!!!
