The OS of the 7650 and P800 are the same (Symbian OS7) with the P800 sporting the newer GUI called UIQ.
A company is experimenting with video recording on the 7650 using MPEG4. So you get to record a whole 4 min on the 4MB FIXED RAM!!! OOOOoooo!!! HAHAHAHA!
The same app can be ported to the P800 to record upto 2 hours of video on a 128MB Memstick Duo.
I find both the 7650 and P800 a big on the large side... BUT, considering that the P800 has:
-tri-band
-has Bluetooth, with the headset profile (kinda dumb to have BT, and not be able to use a BT headset)
-large screen, compared to the puny 7650 screen
-HTML, xHTML, cHTML, WAP 2.0, and iMode browsers
-16MB built-in, PLUS 16MB on the free Memstick (compared to 4MB on the 7650)
-Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Acrobat Viewers
-Video Player (MPEG4, 1MB/min of video)
-MP3, AU,WAV player (Although I think SE will include Sony's ATRAC codec too)
-14 days claimed standby time, although I assume only 1 week... that's still 4 days more than any Nokia
-I think the P800 is lighter than the 7650 (148g w/o keypad vs 154g for the 7650) weird, considering the P800 has more circuitry, and is larger |

The OS of the 7650 is only Symbian OS6 while P800 is with Version7 ....so P800 is a step ahead of the nokia.........can't wait for  P800 to come out !!! |

All,
I have had my 7650 for a couple of days now, I have had a T68i since last november and I have also used a development version of the P800. Although the 7650 is a bit of a brick so is the P800 (although they have got a much bigger screen in). I have downloaded apps from web browsers, games, and MP3 players from the links elsewhere in this forum and you can make what you want to out of the phone. The main selling point for me is that it is NOT stylus operated like the P800 or XDA (despite the keypad on the P800). I have had PDA's i the past and I do NOT want the PDA. A good personal choice and compomise for me is the 7650. I'll let you know if I end up back with the T68 or keep on with my 7650 after living with it for a bit |

My thoughts exactly regarding pen-interface on the P800... BUT... think about it... People who WANT all the features will usually be techies... I find the 7650 too big considering it's great lack of features... mainly lack of 1900 band, expandable memory, and a bigger screen (I think the screen is too puny for a phone THAT BIG)
I love the fact that most of the P800 is one large screen. Although, as I've stated before... the keypad design really sucks. Looks cheap, and poorly designed... but I also do NOT like the fact that I have to open the 7650 before I can type an SMS... mechanical parts have a way of wearing down or rattling when frequently used.
Both phones have their pros and cons... although i think the 7650 pales in comparison to the P800...and don't give me that, apples oranges crap... these 2 phones are in the SAME class... they run the same OS, same price range, both have cameras and are targetted to the same market share. The T68 is pitted against the 8xxx series. It's kinda obvious. |

These phones use different variation of Symbian platform. 7650 uses Pearl, which is meant for keypad input and 1/8 vga screen size devices. P800 uses UIQ, which is meant for pen-based input and 1/4 vga screen size devices.
I'll rest my case. |

I got my ticket to Dubai today. I am flying there in December. Cant wait to get out of the aeroplane and buy myself a P800 which I am sure will be cheaper than Europe and no tax on it either |

First of all.. i bought mine 7650 yesterday. It's not a bad phone!
I have a lot of phones.. from StarTac 130, 8810, T28s, V51, T68, 8310, R600 and i have 7650 now..
And i must say that it's quite a big phone, but it have a big screen with excellent OS. Also the camera is great and the buttons on the keyboard are perfect although they're a bit small. You can programme it everything u want, from buttons to joystick. And the guy forgot some interesting things.. Like u can take a pic of your friend and attach it to his name and number and when he's gonna call ya his picture is shown. Than there are Polyphonic tones, which are really great and u can download 'em with Java. The vibra is very strong.
I had fun with this phone yesterday for about 5 hours nonstop, so i'm very comfortable with it. It's a great phone, maybe a bit too big, but it fits very good in your hands.
And let's talk about quality. The guys here are in T68 favour. The T68 have a very ugly looking and hard keyboard. Also the YES/NO buttons are very weird. U don't have real feeling when u press 'em. Sometimes they're press immediately, sometimes it takes a lot of time to press em, and the menus are sloooooowish..
It's WAS good phone 6 months ago with first coloured screen. But now it's far behind, with 7650 kicks his ass (except in size, but 7650 is very similar to Ipaq, Palm etc..). Than are here 7210 and 6610 with 99% of being better phone than T68. And T68i .. damn.. all that plastic, yuck.. T68 was good with rubber on back side, T68i is 100% plastic and that really sucks..
Also P800 is very cheap childish plastic looking. White and Blue coloured like phones for children.
And i must say that camera in 7650 is way better than T68's..
I don't know guys, what you're so into SE?? I was that opinion too, 5 months ago. I was totally against Nokia, but when u used to Nokia the phones simply rules.
That's my modest opinion. No offence i hope.

Consider your little nokia gadgets like the 7650 and other future nokia phones.
Now consider this:
T68, released Oct 2001
Tri-Band
GPRS
MMS, EMS supported
Bluetooth
Option of buying mp3 player and camera ONLY if YOU WANT TO PAY FOR IT.
These are just a few of many features of a phone that's almost a year old. I'd say it's still more future-proof than even then 7650. Even many future nokia phones will not have the above capabilities. And when the P800 is released...? 
BTW, I find no problem with the keypad and think its way better than the keypad on the pathetic 8550.
And let's not forget the size... |
