@paomig l agree with you on the medication part but software upgrades sometimes open up other problems justifying another upgrade and so on and so forth.

Im not having problems so Im not gonna upgrade yet.

Just wanted to give some feedback on the firmware update. There is definitely an improvement in the audio. There is no more feedback caused by the proximity of your hand to the microphone. Am not sure but the earpiece speaker sounds clearer but maybe a bit softer.

@terrible...that is so true and i guess its a never ending ending road to betterment with regard to technology and science :-D

@jplacson,
Pre, how much is your friend selling it? And why is he selling it (doesn't like a certain feature, phone has bugs (hopenot!), etc.)
@spoon,
Pre, I'm interested at what you're offering but I can't register at Bidshot.com because I currently don't have a cellphone! (mine was stolen about 4 mos. ago - a 7110
... loved that phone). Read your Private Messages, I sent you my contact info there... Also, why are you selling it too? I'm hoping that the unit really is still in Mint condition because its a month old already... (baka may marks na sa screen from usage, recognizable marks sa unit, etc.).
Hope to hear from you guys soon ( so that I'll finally join the P800 group of owners here in the Philippines!
).

hi there. i'm sorry but the extra P800 was sold an hour ago...
i'm not selling my own P800.
it's really great!
Posted by jplacson
My friend's P800 is still for sale. I'm not selling mine! You kidding??!?! I love this phone! My friend just can't text with it... he's used to his 8310 w/ T9. You can text him at +639175280782

@spoon,
Sayang! I was really eyeing on that one... cheaper kasi than other sources eh. Well, anyway, thanks.. sent you an e-mail by the way...
@jplacson,
Ok. I'll try and contact your friend tom. But I think I'll have to negotiate a lower price considering that I can get it from Wintelcom at P36,500 brand-new and your friend is selling his at P37,000 (3-4 days old already). Thanks too.
@to all you guys,
I just would like to ask... what games are you currently playing with your P800's. Also, I just read on another board... is its not having a "joystick" similar to the 7650 a disadvantage when it comes to control in games and other applications?

ey guys! anyone here using nowmms configuration on their P800? Coz, i baddddddddly neeeeeed your help. I think i messed up my phone's settings. anyone? Please?

Is is just me or does Nokia's Symbian OS Interface look better than the P800's? On the P800's, the icons are smaller and more simplistic (uglier?) and the interface graphics itself just isn't that flashy to look at compared to Nokia's implementation. I even think the Symbian 7 SDK's PC emulator has better icons and graphics than the actual thing! Now dont get me wrong... I dont think (and never will!
) the 7650 is the better phone... but don't you agree that its interface looks way cooler? (Its like comparing the interface graphics of the Windows XP to Windows 3.11)
I hope that software is released with which we can change this... like changing application icons in Windows or something like that.

Now look at the SDK PC Emulator's icons (I like these better than the P800's

To make the icons larger ala 7650, ckick view and select \"view as icons\". i dont bother doing this because i have lots of apps and it is not efficient to scroll. This is not an issue for the 7650. konti lang ang apps ng 7650 because of the limited memory space.

I tried viewing them as icons before... looks better... but not practical since you see less icons.
Most people who see my phone with all my apps installed are bowled over by how many functions the P800 has... the icons are cute as well when they're viewed as a list.
I do NOT like all the friggin' blue used throughout the menu!!! It's bad enough that the phone is blue... they didn't have to skin the whole thing with blue!!!! The original UIQ interface was a lot more colorful, with each tab having a different color... not ALL blue... kinda pointless having a color screen when the menu is all blue!!!
Posted by terrible
A newer version of Symbian will probably allow us to personalize the menus probably with themes

I am not very much concerned about the colors used by the OS - these can be changed via a future upgrade. I am more concerned about the hardware part - the LCD and light combination. I had the chance to view the screens of both the 7650 and the P800 up close and I am glad that the screen of my P800 has better viewing quality.
Although the 7650 has better colors, you will see very small dots of colors spread out all over the display as you move the view from side to side. The vertical lines in the 7650 display are noticeable and can sometimes cause eyestrain. The P800 has a very clean display. Smooth (diffused). Will not cause eyestrain (no matter how long you use it) and blends well with the washable screen protector I placed over it.
I think that overall, SE did a good job in their design of the P800 display (both hardware and software). I used the wap browser of the 7650 and noticed that the screen aspect and size just aren't practical for browsing. I don't know with other people but I prefer portrait over landscape when browsing.
I do a lot of browsing with my P800 in the morning when I'm on my way to work (Makati) in a shuttle bus. The P800 display is just perfect. What I like though in the 7650 is its joystick control (browse with one hand--you can't do that with a P800).
Posted by jplacson
I'm also very happy with my P800... I can't believe I've had it for a whole month already!!!
So far, my only complaints are all SW related. Lack of it, some glitches... other than that... everything's perfect!
Posted by Savant
Yeah... I'm glad that almost all Phil. P800 users are HAPPY (or more than HAPPY
) with their P800's... at so far wala pa namang major problems with their units.
I'm going to get one in the weekends (YAY!) and hope that I'll be one of the HAPPY users too.
Nakakatakot lang tong mga threads na to recently, referring to some P800 units which, at one point or another, simply started hanging during the boot sequence (with the SE logo) and not continuing after that. Up to now the problem still has not been identified and the only solution to the problem is to replace the unit.
I hope SE is investigating this and that they identify the source of the problem and come up with a solution for this. I mean, what if it happens to one of us? Buti na lang the 1 yr. warranty will cover this (although hassle pa din diba), but what if it happens after the warranty. Magkano kaya magreplace ng P800 unit??

guys, i went to hub glorietta kanina, grabe pinipilahan yung p800 to try and test it. ;-) made in sweden pala ang inu-offer nila. I'1ve tried to send an mp4 from globe unit to my unit via bluetooth kso di nya makita ang phone ko and vice versa... pero nadedetect naman ng phone ko at p8 unit ng globe yung bluetooth capable phones na nasa loob ng hub like 3650, 7650, etc.. Did you experience it to, the p8 to p8 bluetooth problem?
Posted by terrible
Although I have not experienced P800 to P800 bluetooth connection, I have tried connecting mine with a number of bluetooth devices without problems. I was able to connect my P800 to my desktop (with a dongle), my notebook (with another dongle), my friend's N7650, and another friend's N7650 and sent files (images, video, audio) to and from these devices.
@savant
If you buy a P800 and encounters the same problems posted in the other threads, don't get disappointed. Just have your unit replaced immediately. And try all the features as soon as possible to be able to detect a potential problem during the 7-day no hassle replacement period. Test everything. Sync with Outlook (depends on your PIM) using cable, IR, bluetooth. Browsing WAP over GPRS using the phone, browsing WAP over GSM using the phone (this will cost you on a per minute basis), using the phone as a wireless modem via cable, IR, bluetooth (this will cost you on a per kilobyte basis), using the phone as a dial-up modem using HSCSD (this will cost on a per minute basis), and send/receive MMS. My P800 was able to pass these tests with flying colors. Of course you have to test the basic functions like phone and PIM functions. Let me tell you frankly that based on posts here and other threads I could say that most P800 users, including me, have gone thru a replacement at least once (is this the reason why P800 is quite scarce). The reason why I needed a replacement is because the IR of my first unit fails when I use my P800 as a modem.
Goodluck. You've made the right decision. Get a P800 and be one of us.

To everybody:
Suggestion. Why don't we use the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) clients that can be downloaded from my-symbian.com http://my-symbian.com/uiq/applications/index.php for the P800 and start our online chat.
Currently, there are two available clients: SymIRC and ChatClient. For our use, SymIRC (with default server: irc.stealth.net), on the one hand, would be suitable because it allows us to have our own channel (e.g. #P800PHILS) but does not have a facility that lists users currently logged in. ChatClient, on the other hand, forces us to join the server provided by its author with all other users of the client but it has a facility that lists currently logged users.
So, when do we start?
Posted by xilber
We can start right away! I'd like to try it now. But first, I have to download the client, install & set it up.
Posted by 619
last saturday i went to hub g4 and send a T3 mp4 via bt, for their demo.
Posted by terrible
@xilber I suggest we use SymIRC and setup our channel (#P800PHILS).

what languages do you have installed on your phone?
gusto ko kasi mag-install ng ibang languages for character support, pero no language pack found in the "phone language" directory sa local drive.
Posted by luwi
@619, so syo pla galing yung t3 mp4 na nsa unit nila. Btw, did you try to transfer via bluetooth from their demo sa p8 mo? okey din ba? I dont think may problem bt namin cause nadedetect nya ibang bt capable phones except sa p8....
Posted by 619
nope, i didnt get any from their P800, ill go back one of these days and send them the Jenny from the block mp4

wala pa rin bang video recorder for the P800?
anyone here had their firmware upgraded? What are the improvements aside from the sound?
Posted by 619
antski.. my unit doesnt hang anymore.
Posted by antski
ok..
i'm based in caloocan and makati is too far for me. is there any other place where i can upgrade? thanks!
Posted by Savant
About P800 Firmware upgrades:
Is there a site (official or unofficial, although SonyEricsson should, at least, be the one to give us this information) detailing the updates for each version?? Sort of like a Firmware Version Update Details document.
We, as users of their phones, should be able to know exactly what's new in this version, what to look out for, what to try new, what the remaining bugs still are, etc. instead of just "knowing" that it somehow got better because of the upgrade but we don't know specifically what.
Posted by terrible
Suggestion:
Can all posters here in SE P800 Philippine User Group post their TipicMe (nickname@tipic.com) Jabber IDs (Jid) if they have installed TipicMe in their P800s.
If you have not installed TipicMe, you can download it from http://www.tipic.com/node.php?id=1411.
My JID is: terrible@tipic.com
Posted by soccer_dax
i've installed tipic me already on my p800.. my jid is: soccer_dax@tipicme.com

Sige, basta pag may nadiscover kayong bago post agad dito ha!
I'm currently studying programming in Java J2ME / MIDP para lang matry kong magprogram for the P800... hobby lang... interesting eh...
Pag nakagawa ako ng maganda-gandang application I'll post it here immediately!
Interesting talaga kasi this is the first time that I've ever had the ability to add applications / features to my phone... kahit patest-test lang ng graphics capabilities, etc... nakaka-aliw na!

Hi. New here. Just want to share an additional experience. Almost all of the bugs that was posted here I experienced also. But I have this one that is very odd. If you know Bidshot.com, a buy and sell website, they send SMS for messages posted on your item. The number that will appear on ur phone is something like this 2330233019104463. Wen I try to reply, which I always do with my previous phones and worked, it failed. You will see SMS sending Failed is wat u will see. Called Globe and Semicon already, got nothing. I think its a phone setting. It cant send to too long numbers/non defined numbers/something. Have any of you here experienced this?
Posted by 619
knight... try saving that no. before sending out msg. i used to have that problem too (but not as long as that no., ill experiment), but its ok now after upgrading it.
darkness... doesnt have that much bugs compared to t68 before.
