Hmmm... geee... what about $700 for a phone w/ a black & white screen, dual-band only, bad battery life, and a nifty pop-up sliding mechanism (which rattles after 6 months)??? Ya, you're right.. Nokia doesn't over-price phones.

And software is slow... I can't stand the P800... man... it's like a friggin' turtle! I'm sure you know what I mean, seeing as you have one (according to your icon)

This message was posted from a Nokia




Spoken like a true Nokia fan.

OLD SE software was slow. This is already FAST (read the reviews). In either case, I'd prefer slow over buggy.

Color screen and poly tones you can hardly hear? Sounds like all new Nokia phones!

But Nokia still takes the cake.... add $20 worth of titanium to the outside of a phone, add a fault-prone sliding mechanism, but leave it dual-band and black and whiye and charge $750 for it...

Heheh As i already thought I'd always look at the signature instead of my message content.
As i said, ericsson software is slow like hell (even in the p1800, t200- i've tried them all) and it will always be. No matter what i say, u ppl, still claim SE is the best.I never made comparision with other brands but that doesn't keep SE from being the slowest of them all.
As i said, until they change that and the buggy software, their market share will be as low as it is today.That's the truth and the reality shows u am not wrong.

PS: I own a Sony J7 (i am very content with) but i use a Nokia 6210 from work to surf the wap ...cuz it's faster than ANY SE(i am interested in using a phone properly rather than dieing with a brand in my hand). Btw, i'd never and i will never buy a Nokia cuz they doesn't worth it. SE is in the same deep bucket of shit.We'll see in one year how samsung and some others will take the cake away.

@ 701

If you say that the P800 is slow, then I doubt that you have tested it.

well, pal, i tell ya i've tested it TWICE.Once at Cebit in march 2002 and once just 2 weeks ago and i gotta say it is diff'rent but not as fast as i thought it would be. But again, i tell u all this cuz I've got the chance to use one last year and u can see the improvement.But it's not enough from a giant like SE...too bad for them. Still not paying 500$ for a P800.Maybe later.

@701

Seriously you can't say that the P800 is slow. Sadly I don't have one myself yet (not enough money), but I've played quite a lot with my brothers P800 and it is very fast indeed. No lags and swapping between programs are real fast. Actually faster than my Palm...

I guess it depends on what do u expect and what other phones have u used before.Before ericsson i've used some alcatles & motorolas and they are racing comparing to ericsson.Sadly to say, for me , just the brand changed but the SW remained slow...U can see it when u sms or surf the net or the wap.
Well, I am sure, someday soon, even SE will be as fast as some other brands (exckuding nokia to please some of our co-participants in here:P) and then i'll buy one:)

PS:Can u imagine that i had to chose between a Sony J7 & a T200 and i've chose the sony?:P
