Hey guys! Just wanted to announce (since I'm proud of this fact...
)... that I've just gotten my P800 last Saturday!!!! WOOOHOOOO! 
This phone is just simply... AWESOME!!!
Now to install some apps and games... I haven't been this excited about a device since my mother bought us a Sega Genesis console!
P.S. Good thing I haven't experienced any hangs or the camera bug yet. Got the phone with R1D firmware already so I dont need to upgrade it na...

Just experienced my very first "Press Power button for 10-secs." last night. I put the DUO stick while the phone was in the USB stand and connected to the PC. Suddenly PC couldn't detect my phone anymore (even after multiple removal and re-attachment to the base)! I removed it from the base, removed the DUO, and turned it on. It booted up and then displayed a very scary message (for me, at least) - "Reinsert disk or data may be lost". The touch screen was not working at this time. I did nothing and after awhile the message faded and my P800 started as normal. The the "soft reset" message popped-up and so I pressed the Power button for 10 secs. After that it continued normally and when I re-attached it to the base, it was detected instantly again! Woohoooo! It seems nothing was deleted or broken by that incident... its now working perfectly again although I dont know what the cause of this incident was.
Was it my insertion of the DUO while it was still connected? Is that bad?

can anyone confirm that contacts can't be backed up to the memory stick...

good evening,i too experiences that 10 sec thing,what i really hate is sometimes when i write an sms then suddenly hangs and have to do the 10 sec. thing. what are the changes/difference if i upgrade my phone to R1D?mine still R1B.
Posted by Savant
Well, I just got my phone last Sat. and, thankfully, the latest firmware updates were already in it straight out of the box. I have not experienced the camera bug and the only time I experienced that 10 sec. reset thing was in that incident in my post above... nothing after or before that. Great!

p800 users.... did you noticed when you play mp3 and it always appear the total time always 1 sec... weird. please check
Posted by ferrarista44
@shag- sa kin lumalabas yun names. dapat lumalabas yun.
@weneklek- try putting other tracks.
Posted by 619
mine, the name comes out, but when u open the msg, numbers na lang.
Posted by weneklek
ferr...same thing with 619...kaka check lang nya... i already uploaded new tracks still the same
ayaw pirated 
Posted by Lopio
@shaq go to phone directory, then choose any contact, then edit contact, the number should be on mobile category not phone.
Posted by prolog
what i noticed sa P800 is hindi na-update yung names sa contact no. for example, someone who is not in your contacts sent you a text message di ba # nya lalabas...
if you then registered it sa contacts mo that same message won't reflect the registered name. rather yung mga susunod na messages nya tsaka magre-reflect yung contact name.
that's why nung nilipat ko yung text messages ko from the t68 puro mga #'s lang. dapat pala unahin yung contacts bago yung text messages.
Posted by shag3doo
Thanks guys
@Lopio - I'll try that
Posted by ferrarista44
@weneklek- weird!
@prolog- i agree with that. that's what happens to me when some new number txts me.
Posted by Lopio
@shaq lmk if it works on new msgs.

Update on Aramith's Quest (PLDT's Winning P800 application)
Did you notice that the SE Application Proclamation page is updated and now includes additional winners as well (previously there was only 3 featured). Also, the screenshots were changed a bit and that Title screen for Aramith's Quest looks sweet!
Hope they release it soon! Also, I thought that software entered as part of the contest would be available to P800 owners for free... how come Handy Safe is being charged / sold? Well, I guess ultimately it'll still depend on the companies who developed the winning applications if they wanna charge for it or not...
btw, if some of you still dont know the address to that page its --http://www.sonyericsson.com/codetocash

UPDATE: the 64MB Duo cards cost 4,400 in singapore... Why should we have to pay 5500?

Ei guys wer cn i buy a p800 in its lowst price? Got 2 hav it 2 weeks frm now!:-D
Posted by jomni1
those in need of a financial calc shld download finanz fr www.kylom.com. its good! i shd know coz im a beta-tester.
Posted by jplacson
64MB Duo is only P3800 online. P4400 is still a lot... P5500 even more so! I think I can wait til April for the 128MB Duo.
Just to let you know... the 64MB Magic Gate Duo at P5500 is still cheaper than a 64MB Magic Gate Memory Stick from the Sony dealers here (P6000++)... weird huh? So I doubt the 'authorized' Sony dealers here will sell the Duo cheaper even if they get it.

@denong, ang alam ko sa wintelcom ay 36.5k parin ang p800 pero thru marcus yun. for more info, pm or sms mo si 619. รบ
Posted by denong
@luwi, tnx pare ur d bst. By d way s knya mo b bnili p8 mo? Thk s semcon n lang ko kukuha pra no hzel.
Posted by 619
denong- get it at wintelcomm P36,500 lang compare to semicon P38,500
just sms me 0917-916-6666 your full name and time you plan to get the unit. the shop is located at 2339 Leon Guinto St. san andres manila. near cor of quirino ave. btw, im not connected w/ wintelcomm, frnd namin yun owner and we can get it at dealer's price.
Posted by dark_knight_r3turns
@619...how about accessories?
Posted by luwi
@denong, i got my unit sa semicon. dont worry sa wintelcom kc 1 yr warranty lahat ng unit dun.
Posted by Savant
Yeah, I got mine from Wintelcom too... think about it pre... P2,000 din yan. Makakabili ka na din ng Brando Screen protector at maganda-gandang P800 case (na masasabit sa belt) dun sa natipid mong pera... Its almost 10% discount already!
And 1 time hassle lang naman eh... pagkakuha mo from Wintelcom pwedeng hindi mo na sila puntahan kasi official Sony Ericsson dealer sila kaya your unit warranty is entertained by ALL official SE Repair Centers here: SEMICON, Smartnet, and SESS.
Nakuha ko yung unit ko na upgraded na firmware. Haven't encountered any problems yet!
Posted by mjct6210
@savant
saan ka nakabili ng pouch/case na pwede isabit sa belt? orig se ba cya? how much?
Posted by ferrarista44
why does the 10 sec warning happen? dahil nalito ba si P800? it's so irritating especially when you've written quite a long message already...
the upgrade didnt lessen it.
Posted by qwertyuiop
I had my gprs activated last night. The operator told me to try it today. When i tried, I kept getting the message "internal error 259". Has anyone encountered this? So what's wrong with my phone?
Posted by Savant
@mjct6210,
Followed the advice of one of the regulars here too... si dark_knight_returns yata.
It's not an original SE case (meron bang ganun aside from yung kasama sa box??)... pero its from a known manufacturer of cases / pouches for PDA's and cellphones - NiteIze (www.niteize.com).
Got it from Hahn Manila in Megamall, P1,000+.
Maganda sya kasi heavy duty and protected na protected phone mo. Also, the clip is made of bendable steel so I doubt kung mapuputol ng mandurukot yun.
Pero you should try it out first, you might find it bulky for your tastes (mas malaki sya than other cases because of the internal steel frame in the clip). Remember also to get the MEDIUM size one (I'm sure the P800 wouldn't fit in the Small size case kasi Medium nga tama lang sa kanya eh).

@ferrarista,
Same advice as I try to give to others... what software do you have installed and are regularly running? Might help us in trying to solve your problem.
Got my P800 with R1D Firmware already and have never experienced the "10-sec reset" problem while typing my text messages. Actually, I've only experienced it once... and that was when I inserted my MS Duo while it was on the Stand, turning it off, and removing the DUO before turning it on. Never had it again.
But the thing is, I've not installed a lot of thired-party applications yet. Di pa dumadating Brando Screen Protector ko kaya ayaw ko pang maglaro ng games on the P800 (baka magasgasan screen eh...
). So wala pa akong gaanong new software na iniinstall (aside from File Manager and Full Screen Pictures -- these are very useful apps).
That's the problem when you can install new software on a device... it always has that risk factor that something might just make the device unstable.

hi guys nadaan ako sa semicon sm mla ang ask the latest firmware for p800 rif na daw 4 sw and r6a for fon. ang drawback lang nito is they only upgrade firmware in their main office which is at pasig. i checked smartnet thread and wala pa advice na meron na cla r1f.
and btw, i'm just curious, pag bumili ka ba ng extra ms duo, can u iinterchange them while the p800 is on or u hve 2 turn the fon off? and panu kng u installed software on ms duo #1 and remove it mag error kya?

In my opinion, its always safer to eject a memory when the device is off and yes, if taken out, u wont b able to use the application if u saved it on the card. memory card
Posted by ferrarista44
anyone here who already availed of the 64MB Duo?
Posted by Rashkae
I oredered one from Singapore (4832 pesos total) And I pre-ordered their 128MB version (7900 pesos total, FedEx shipping).
Posted by dark_knight_r3turns
@Rashkae...when is the 128mb supposed to arrive?
Posted by Rashkae
2-3 weeks, apparently. Doesn't matter too much, I can wait.
