Just tried the P800... Here are my first impressions 
Well, it does look good (except the earphone part which looks abnormally big i.e. it pops out, but nevermind that), the screen is very good, it has a good feel in hand, and like I thought the flip keypad is unpractical. And the overall impression *before using it* is that it feels better than 7650. But...
But, the P800 problem is its UI. Though being quickly responsive, it is a mess, and it does lack being intuitive. The menu structure is strange, and the icons (e.g. to go from one submenu to another) don't tell you much unless you've got the user's guide. The [c] (cancel) key does not necessarily cancel. Where is the logic in that?! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and you have to press the [back arrow] (undo) key.
The 5-way jogdial is really not handy at all. It's far too hard to press, especially if you want to press it up, you need to hold the phone with the other hand, or then grip it hard.
The stylus is not ergonomic, though where it can be "folded" is kind of smart.
When entering a menu, the phone's backlight changes...
The camera seems quite allright. The refresh rate is good. They also added a camera button on the side, for some reason. |
