At last I've been able to see the pics, and I must say thanks for giving me some good pics of the P800, not Ericsson press-material! It looks like a phone I'll have to get when it comes out, it'll maybe replace my Palm M505 & T68m!

Thanks!
I'm just not a signature kind of guy..

cuz the t68i is already pretty small.. this one looks even smaller.. ok fine not as small as t66.. but.. if it's like a palm rite.. wouldn't it be awkward to hold?? [addsig]

I would really have to see a comparsion picture between the T68i and the P800.

That P800 just doesn't look right to me... Even though it's small for a Palm.

P800 is 17mm higher than T68, and there was "lots" of pics of those two together from CeBit.
Its bigger than T68, but not that bigger, and Im quite sure that P800 will feel smaller than N7650 due to the "key thing" solution on 7650, when you have the keypad "ejeceted" or how to say its "huge". And Im sure that the mechanism will suffer big problems like on N7110 (it was cool - but no one likes a phone with a flip that lives its own live)
And P800 can handle such files as:

.doc (Word)
.xls (Excel)
.ppt (Powerpoint)
.pdf (Adobe acrobat)

and you can add 20 more from disc!!

Java
C++

and lots of other outstanding features (as long as it not full with SW bugs )

We started with huge phones, now they've become tiny. NOW, people are starting to go back to size again, of course with many fantastic features that ten years ago people didn't have on their pc, but in a few years these things will become tiny as well....




I think the P800 is way cool, but a little large, unhandy for a mobile. Maybe when i see it in real life that will change though....

@deltayoda, i dont think the P800 runs on the palmOS. I think PDA is the right word, rather than a palm.

Some cool info and screenshots about the Symbian OS for the P800. See the second article about "magpie". How cool is that ?

Yeah really nice, I'll be lining up for one of these, my wife likes the Nokia 7650 though, she won't have a doesn't like the way the t9 works, maybe I'll get a new one (wife). The only thing I don't like about the P800 is that the camera lens doesn't have a cover, why's that?

I was hoping for a price on the t68 level. N7650 is priced to about 750 Euro SIm free here in Norway now. That's about the T68 price when it was released. P800 looks so cool! Don't need my handspring anymore. Anyone know about the battery life and the memory?

I have serious doubts about the release date from the P800. You guys forgot the R380 drama?? I was already able to play with it on Cebit 1999 Q1

(together with other "hot" items that time, such as Mp3 player and HBH-10, can you imagine........)

, but it was released in the stores Q3 2000 (1,5 years later!!!)
And it was so obvious that the working P800 sample we saw on Cebit 2002 needed some enhancements to say the least. The device hung a couple of times!! during a demo of only some minutes. Next to that, the demo wasn't a very heavy test, just taking a picture with the built in cam and sending it via gprs.
R380 is same category phone, but more important, same category phone software (ok no symbian epoc platform, but you know what I mean) and even more important, probably same category software troubles. Ericsson was always pretty honest about releaseproblems R380, nothing else but unstable software troubles they stated. And when they did finally release it (Organizer sw-version R1A, 082000) it still was unstable as hell.

This all doesn't take away that I also love the P800 and will get my hands on it as soon as we can get it. If you buy one of the first batch, you already should be happy if it just switches on
