Digitalic, I'm really eager to hear what else you have to say about your P800. I'm still thinking about buying one. I received some good feedback about it, but I'm curious to hear what your experiences are with it. Have you browsed the web? How does it perform that way? I've heard how good it is with e-mail, but I'm looking for more feedback on web performance.
Anyway, tell us what you really think about it all.
By the way, I'm looking to use this phone with T-Mobile, but I'm unsure how well it'll work with their network. What service provider do you use?

Sounds nice, Digitalic. I just wish I could see one in person. That's probably all it would really take to sell me. Oh well, at the very least I won't have to wait for months to do just that.
You didn't have to sign up for new service to get it at that price, did you?
Just a couple other things... you don't find it too bulky or anything? Does it feel pretty comfortable in your pocket? And what do you think about the flip? Is it annoying to have to mess with? Or do you even use it? (I think it would be kinda cool to be able to use the phone without the flip and still have it be really practical).
(I know I really need to be able to look at one of these. I'd probably answer all my own questions that way).
I forgot one last thing (really important)... you say you use T-Mobile. I know they've got T-Zones and T-Mobile Internet services. Which one do you use for browsing the web, email, and those types of things? I'd think online activity on that phone would demand quite a few MB's each month. Have you discovered which plan would be best to sign up with?
Thanks a lot for your input.

yup i have tzone plan of $2.99, 1mb limit per month for GPRS, i know thats nothing when you have a p800 you use that up very quickly, the size is just perfect, its actually a lot smaller than i expected... its just right, i wouldnt put it in my pants or shirt pocket thats for sure, i dont want to accidently forget about the phone and have it slip out when i have to bend over n get something, or in my pocket when i walk by stuff i hit things sometimes, not a good idea, you have to be careful with this phone, and i use the flip on and it doesnt bother me at all... very nice phone, i have no complaints... i bought the phone directly from SE's website for $649, and no activation... |

Azary, i ll tell you what is wrong with the fone that my friend digital forgot to mention...this phone is very fragile, well maybe it is not, but when u hold it, the only thing u have in ur mind is, "i hope i wont drop it" i have chatted with digital many time, and every day we talk, i or he tells me that i almost dropped it or soemthing like that...
To tell you the truth it is a woooow phone, and i really treat it exactly the same way when i hold my nephew....with a lot of care...u know when u are holding a little 5 months old baby, the only thing u have in mind is i hope i wont drop it...so this is how it feels like when u have a P800 in ur hands. as digital told u the size is way smaller that i expected too. bt it is still kinda big, well ANY PHONE is big when u are used to a t68i. well if u need more info, post ur questions here, and we ll answer you...

Thanks for the input. I understand completely. I had dropped a T68i that I used to own, and I just about had a heart attack, so I do understand. (This also serves as an example of how important it is to find a good case that isn't flimsy and cheap, which was half of the contributing factor of why I dropped it in the first place - I'm still waiting for the Vaja cases to arrive for the P800 (www.vajacases.com), but I digress...).
I'm sure the phone would be fantastic to have. I guess the main thing for me is wondering just how fast you'd chew up bytes surfing the internet and emailing and so on. I'd think that would get really expensive really quick. I just wish that T-Mobile would come out with a reasonably priced unlimited data plan. Then for a flat fee, you wouldn't have to worry about really making use of the phone. It seems the P800 would be a bit pointless or overkill if you couldn't utilize all of its data capabilities because GPRS was just too expensive. That would be a bit of a shame, IMO.
Not to mention, I sometimes wish that the P800 had some hardware buttons beneath its screen - like send/end buttons and a rocker panel or a five-way T68i-type joystick. I think that would make the phone even more useful.
So I feel a bit uneasy buying it just yet with those two things (GPRS cost, and lack of hardware buttons apart from the flip) always on my mind. For that money, I want to make a wise purchase. Everything else seems great. As a technophile, normally I don't let the idea of "what's just around the corner" bother me, but in this case, for some reason, it does. I don't want to buy it just to find out that what I really want comes out two or three months later. I want to know that I could get some really good use out of it for a while, but of course, this is what we all wrestle with, yes? This is technology. Like I've said before, I really need to see this phone in person, but until it arrives (few weeks, give or take), I'll just have to be patient.

This phone is simply awsome! I love it. Its smaller then I expected. Plus you can see the screen just fine in sunlight. You won't be disappointed. And really its great on not using alot of bytes via GPRS. I have service on t-mobile and I just went for their 10MB t-zone add on for an extra 9.99 a month. It should work out great. If you get it you won't regret it.
