Not a P800 killer.

However this is what I wanted the succesor of the Sony Ericsson T600 or Ericsson T39 to be like.

Only draw back is the lowly 160x160 screen.

Looks good.. Palm OS - load of s/w available. Comes with a SDIO slow.. Wi-fi as well?

Hopefully SE has something sorted out in the future.. major put off was with the MS-Duo slot and crappy screen.

I had Treo 180. I must say, It is not P800 killer - mainly because of operating system. It has no multitasking - threre is impossible lot of thinks, which are standard on P800 - for example start to check emails adn switch to another app.
There is no Bluetooth - only throught expensive SD card. And display's resolution is too small.
Actually I don't know, how it looks with Java support in Palm OS 5, but current Treo doesn't support Java aswell.
On other hand with Office synchonisation support it would be an excellent competitor to MDA Pocket PC based devices.

I got an add about this in my email this morning.
Am I the only one who thinks that the keyboard is shockingly small? It's the sort of thing you expect on an organiser from Argos...

I am a P800 fan.....however, this phone looks pretty good. Does it have touch screen?

It seems smaller and more durable than my P800.

No bluetooth is a real turn off.....but I don't really use BT unless I'm in my car and using my HBH60 headset.

I guess I'll stick to what I got for now...assuming the software keeps on commin.....and they don't make the same thing smaller any time soon!....(cause if they do, I'll buy it!!!)

SE, U listening???!!!!!!
