T68/i with Ipaq 3870 was a far more efficient piece of equiptment but i never got used to the bulk of the ipaq & find my P800 wins by a long way because i can forget its with me untill i need it.
I have abssolutely no doubt that the P800 was the best allrounder i could have spent my money on, to me its (& allways has been ) the size VERSUS usefullness ratio thats most important. |

Agree with you as I have had psion 3a,c 5,5mx Revo+ and my expectations of PIM stuff in P800 was aimed too high.
Still not fully off my Revo & you can't beat a keyboard for data entry (just bought a new accessory for my P800 to try though, A Vaio Picturebook with Bluetooth, MS reader etc.  )
Regarding wma the problem is sorted, use the OggPlayer, you can get music as good as wma even smaller have over 85 tracks on my 128MB DUO and OggPlayer improving all the time (don't use built in Audio player now) |

I have had a Casiopeia, Psion revo, Ipaq 3850 & 3970 and lastly the Palm Tungsten and I find that the P800 is the best all rounder by far the biggest factor was the bulk in carrying my mobile and PDA at the same time but battery life and ease of use come pretty close too.

Hi. I used to use an Ericsson T39 and an iPAQ. Since I got my P800, my iPAQ hasn't been removed from its craddle.
The one thing I really need though is an Office document editor. Its frustraing to be able to view them but not work with them. |

I bought an Ipaq 3630 from Dixons UK for £97.00 (discontinued stock) about two months before the P800 came out. I used to use it a fair bit, but it was a little big to carry around all the time.
Now I have my P800, which has all the agenda, contacts, internet and mp3 functionality that the Ipaq had as well as being my phone and three quarters the size.
Hence, the Ipaq got sold and I now only use my P800. Long live SonyEricsson!! |
