Anyhow the rep also told me that he had an order of 600+ units coming in next week, and they should start filling order by the mid of the next week. I just hope this is TRUE for once!!
Cheers.

Posted by jbendaou

hahahahaaaa......the wait is over digitalic! Remind yourself to eat at least a meal a day, and sleep at least 3 hrs per day now that you have yer precious - - you may tend to forget to do as such (as I did) while toying with yer brand new P800.

So envious!
I can't wait to get mine!!!
Posted by mrj82
Ok Eshop really pissed me off, I called them up yesterday and they told me 3-5 weeks for my P800. So I cancelled my order and ordered one from http://www.BeyondBluWireless.com for the same price and they have them in stock. Last time I place a order from the Eshop unless I have no other choice. So I'll have my P800 next week.
Posted by Zand
You know that they've got it at Expansys? www.expansys.us
Posted by jbendaou
BTW guys digital got his P800 on friday...he is so in love that he forgot about coming back in the foirum to let everyone know...
Posted by elmerfud
Question: Is it safe to charge the phone without the SIM card in the unit? I won't be getting the SIM card until tomorrow, kind of wanted to do the four hr charge today.
Posted by mrj82
Zand: I ordered mine from http://www.BeyondBluWireless.com because they were cheaper. They will ship it monday and I should have it by wednesday.
Elmerfud: It won't hurt the phone to charge it without a sim in it.

So what was the date all you guys ordered yours?
Posted by antonios
i placed my order on Feb 12th.
I think you also placed your cancelled order on the 12th mrj82 right?
Posted by mrj82
Yeah but only after calling them and them pissing me off. Poor customer service. But I should have mine in a couple of days. Been tracking it on UPS's site. So I should have it on the 19th. Same price and shipping was a little cheaper so came out better I guess.
Posted by digitalic

Digitalic, I'm really eager to hear what else you have to say about your P800. I'm still thinking about buying one. I received some good feedback about it, but I'm curious to hear what your experiences are with it. Have you browsed the web? How does it perform that way? I've heard how good it is with e-mail, but I'm looking for more feedback on web performance.
Anyway, tell us what you really think about it all.
By the way, I'm looking to use this phone with T-Mobile, but I'm unsure how well it'll work with their network. What service provider do you use?
Posted by digitalic
azaray i use tmobile, works great with the web, i have lots of pics i took of my p800, this phone is the best phone out there, i can tell you that much, i use it for instant messaging, web, weather, man everything, and not to mention all the damn cool apps/games/utils being made for it, its never ending fun... i love this phone, it was well worth those hard long months of waiting!
Posted by antonios
i'll get mine on the 20th.
Well my-symbian website has applications you have to pay for, and the reviews there are not that help-full!!!
Did u buy any of them? Also do you have the usual crashind and not syncronizing problemd people are talking about?
thnx
Posted by Azaray
Sounds nice, Digitalic. I just wish I could see one in person. That's probably all it would really take to sell me. Oh well, at the very least I won't have to wait for months to do just that.
You didn't have to sign up for new service to get it at that price, did you?
Just a couple other things... you don't find it too bulky or anything? Does it feel pretty comfortable in your pocket? And what do you think about the flip? Is it annoying to have to mess with? Or do you even use it? (I think it would be kinda cool to be able to use the phone without the flip and still have it be really practical).
(I know I really need to be able to look at one of these. I'd probably answer all my own questions that way).
I forgot one last thing (really important)... you say you use T-Mobile. I know they've got T-Zones and T-Mobile Internet services. Which one do you use for browsing the web, email, and those types of things? I'd think online activity on that phone would demand quite a few MB's each month. Have you discovered which plan would be best to sign up with?
Thanks a lot for your input.

Posted by digitalic
nope, i have no syncing issues, works fine for me... well there are some free apps on my-symbian.com...
i dont want to discuss warez here...
Posted by mrj82
Since its 4am here I should get mine tomorrow. It will have R1D, I already asked
. My only problem is I'm still running Win98 so I'm gonna have to buy XP, it looks like. There is always something that F*cks me over.
Posted by digitalic
yup i have tzone plan of $2.99, 1mb limit per month for GPRS, i know thats nothing when you have a p800 you use that up very quickly, the size is just perfect, its actually a lot smaller than i expected... its just right, i wouldnt put it in my pants or shirt pocket thats for sure, i dont want to accidently forget about the phone and have it slip out when i have to bend over n get something, or in my pocket when i walk by stuff i hit things sometimes, not a good idea, you have to be careful with this phone, and i use the flip on and it doesnt bother me at all... very nice phone, i have no complaints... i bought the phone directly from SE's website for $649, and no activation...
Posted by kaaspad
Has anyone here actually received their p800 from http://www.BeyondBluWireless.com I went to their site, but am not sure how trustworth they are... can anyone give me some help on this ? seems like they have the cheapest price I can find anywhere (exectp for SE which is the same price)
Posted by mrj82
Well according to UPS I have a 3 pound package coming to me tomorrow from those guys. They are out of stock btw. I'll let you know tomorrow.
Posted by mrj82
Hey, I'm excited I just got my P800. I gotta go to work now so I'll fill you guys in later.
Posted by jbendaou
Azary, i ll tell you what is wrong with the fone that my friend digital forgot to mention...this phone is very fragile, well maybe it is not, but when u hold it, the only thing u have in ur mind is, "i hope i wont drop it" i have chatted with digital many time, and every day we talk, i or he tells me that i almost dropped it or soemthing like that...
To tell you the truth it is a woooow phone, and i really treat it exactly the same way when i hold my nephew....with a lot of care...u know when u are holding a little 5 months old baby, the only thing u have in mind is i hope i wont drop it...so this is how it feels like when u have a P800 in ur hands. as digital told u the size is way smaller that i expected too. bt it is still kinda big, well ANY PHONE is big when u are used to a t68i. well if u need more info, post ur questions here, and we ll answer you...
Posted by Azaray
Thanks for the input. I understand completely. I had dropped a T68i that I used to own, and I just about had a heart attack, so I do understand. (This also serves as an example of how important it is to find a good case that isn't flimsy and cheap, which was half of the contributing factor of why I dropped it in the first place - I'm still waiting for the Vaja cases to arrive for the P800 (www.vajacases.com), but I digress...).
I'm sure the phone would be fantastic to have. I guess the main thing for me is wondering just how fast you'd chew up bytes surfing the internet and emailing and so on. I'd think that would get really expensive really quick. I just wish that T-Mobile would come out with a reasonably priced unlimited data plan. Then for a flat fee, you wouldn't have to worry about really making use of the phone. It seems the P800 would be a bit pointless or overkill if you couldn't utilize all of its data capabilities because GPRS was just too expensive. That would be a bit of a shame, IMO.
Not to mention, I sometimes wish that the P800 had some hardware buttons beneath its screen - like send/end buttons and a rocker panel or a five-way T68i-type joystick. I think that would make the phone even more useful.
So I feel a bit uneasy buying it just yet with those two things (GPRS cost, and lack of hardware buttons apart from the flip) always on my mind. For that money, I want to make a wise purchase. Everything else seems great. As a technophile, normally I don't let the idea of "what's just around the corner" bother me, but in this case, for some reason, it does. I don't want to buy it just to find out that what I really want comes out two or three months later. I want to know that I could get some really good use out of it for a while, but of course, this is what we all wrestle with, yes? This is technology. Like I've said before, I really need to see this phone in person, but until it arrives (few weeks, give or take), I'll just have to be patient.
Posted by mrj82
This phone is simply awsome! I love it. Its smaller then I expected. Plus you can see the screen just fine in sunlight. You won't be disappointed. And really its great on not using alot of bytes via GPRS. I have service on t-mobile and I just went for their 10MB t-zone add on for an extra 9.99 a month. It should work out great. If you get it you won't regret it.
Posted by jbendaou
azary,
Yes i hear u, i dont want to have a fone that could be so easily replaced.but as u said, we are phone freaks...and believe me, when i got the t68i , i said no more fones, then the p800 came, and i was like i would get the p then nomore fone, well guess what , i have had the p for 3 weeks now, and i want the t610 badly and it doesnt even have the features of the p800, so i guess i am just gonna stay away from phone websites, and stop looking at other fones for a bit....damn did u see the new phone from siemens, i want it tooooooooooo....daqmn i am going nuts with the tech.

it's only 10 dollars a month for 10 megs a month! on Tmobile? i don't see anything about that on their website wtf?
i pay 13 bucks a month for 4 megs with att. should i switch?
att is the best in norcal area tho as far as coverage. although gsm coverage SUCKS SO BAD HERE i can barely go inside a building without getting no service.
should i wait for att to build up their network or switch over?
Posted by mrj82
I'd switch, I think its not an advertised add on plan or something. The data support guy I talked to claimed I couldn't view html pages with the phone with the t-zones add on. I said 10 bucks says I can. He wanted to argue with me so I was like oh well. Anyway it works fine. I'll probably not use all the 10MB a month, since I get free nights and weekends I'll use CSD then. But it should work out fine for me. If I were you and at&t wouldn't match the plan, which I'm sure the won't. I'd switch. Just my opinion though.

travelling forth between US and Israel makes me understand how really shitty the US cell billing system is, not only do you have to pay for incoming calls which is unheard of elsewhere in the world but these INSANE prices for internet !!! In Israel you get 100 !!!!! megabytes for 50 NIS = $10 a month, how are you suppose to use GPRS with your laptop when all you get is a measly 4-10 mb that's CRAZY !!!!
Posted by mrj82
Well some of us live in the U.S. and are forced to pay unfair prices for GPRS. But T-mobile, I think, has the best plans for GPRS. Thats a plus for me since thats the only GSM carrier in my area. And they have decent coverage. Like I said, some of us have no choice.
