I totally agree... despite the fact that I'm part of the minority. I use my WAP, GPRS and mobile email a lot. It's not THAT expensive. As long as you're not the type to download files over your celfone... why on earth would you be happy with 40K/s 'PEAK' DL anyway???

I use EMS a lot since it costs just as much as SMS, MMS... well... rarely. I used it when it first came out, then it loses it's appeal after the first 10 messages sent.

I'd like to have the full 115K GPRS speed... even if I'll hardly use it... just to know that it's there.

I can't wait for the P800... but I know that most people out there are still using the Nokia 3310, or the SE T65/R600

I'm happy with my T68, I'll be happy with my P800.... I don't expect EVERYONE to have one, need one, or even want one. That's the beauty of choice!

Hi guys,

trust me, I have an ipaq with my t68 once. The statistics are as follow when I'm out:

Brought T68 with: 100% of the time
Brought ipaq with me: 40% of the time

There you have it. Found myself in situations where ipaq is simply too "big" to bring along (like when I'm casual in sports shorts or bermudas and t-shirts). T68? no problem, my ICT-13 clips it in place. Sometimes I don't even notice it was with me.

I have since sold my ipaq and rely on my T68. Perhaps its just these few functions that I need - calendar (a must for me), calculator, notes, MP3 (with attachment) and image viewer (of my 3-yr old daughter). Hey, I even had an animated gif of my girl and my wife. When displayed to friends (though at slow frame rate), I can see how impressed they were...

When the P800 comes out, these excellent boundaries will be expanded beyond... can't wait...

Think the MMS argument through.

OK, you're on holiday, or out with friends, and you snap a photo or two with your P800 or Communicam. You would either keep them on your phone or, if you're abroad, email them home for people to see. How often can you see people wanting to send live photos between two phones?
