As I said about two posts in this thread ago 9please, read them):
'The P800 measures 117x59x27mm and weighs 158g (with flip) and 148g without so it's a little larger than the 7650 (when closed). It has 12 Mb of RAM, uses Symbian 7.0 and has a 208x320 pixel screen, with 4096 colours and the camera has a colour depth of 16 million colours, supports VGA, QVGA and QQVGA image formats.' |

I've seen a non-working prototype of the P800 today, and to sum up my impressions: it's too big for a mobile phone, but acceptable size for a phone cum PDA. The digital camera is only of use for those who have never used a real digital camera. The 12 MB memory is great, especially if used for sound storage. It'll be an absolute must for gadget freaks, a great tool for real estate agents and a luxury for most others. If battery life counts, I think it'll be a sucker, but if you're into having the most features in a single package, go for it. |

Only if P8000 uses Palm base OS, than it could "really" rock the world and put a nail in the coffin for Nokia Communicator 9210. But with Symbyan base OS ??? I don't know. Call me die hard fan of Palm OS but hey, if you want Serious PDA with lots of 3rd party software that manage your day to day life and your business, you need Palm OS. No doubt P8000 looks cool but it is going to be only for gadgets. On the other hand, Treo will release a color version of their sucessful Palm base PDA/GSM phone with GPRS connection. If they have bluetooth built in, I call that a killer business machine. |

What about pocket PC - I can't make up my mind whether to buy the new IPAQ 3870 or the upcoming Palm M515 (with improved color screen). I like the idea of using the large center button on the IPAQ to surf around without the stylus and the bulit in bluetooth - but I also like the idea of a small sized Palm with alu-chassis and lots of third party software.
Any advice for me ?
Kind regards

Dondori > I dont think so,..and its not up for sale yet.
I havent seen a pricetag yet 
A good guess would be a price close to the 7650 from Nokia, I think.

To Claus,
You are the one that inform me about M515 in the other forum..I do not know the spec of M515 but I am very much tempted to ditch my M505 for Sony 615. Sony 615 has a very high resolution color screen and internal memory of 16mb. Ofcourse it has memory stick slot for expandability. The screen is indeed a very execellent even under bright light. The only down side is there is no bluetooth built in but you can buy bluetooth on memory stick. I had a pocket PC before but get rid of it due to:
1. it's neither here nor there (at least for my own use) between a real PC and PDA.
2. The screen is too small for serious PC usage such as excel or words.
3. Crash prone.
4. short battery life.
5. not many third party software..if they have, it's expensive.
6. bulky (in comparison to palm)
7. complicate OS.
8. resource hungry.
9. I don't want Microsoft to dominate and monopolize the software world!!
I choose Palm because:
1. simple and freindly OS
2. Thousand of 3rd party software which are cheap and at times free. You can have hundre of choice for one application.
3. An execellent PDA but has the ability to do other stuff such as SMS, e-mail, browse, simple worksheet
4. long battery life.
5 small foot print.
6. using resource very efficiently (hence don't need big memory and fast CPU). Save our Earth man...
Now, sony 615 is a good choice and when I heard you mentioned the M515, i hold off the buying urge. I also heard that Treo is coming out with the color version at summer. By the way, do you have ULR to the M515...I would like to check the spec. |

I'm glad that SE use symbian instead of very limited Palm OS (in my opinion a stone age OS).
Palm OS don't have multitasking so it's cannot use the avantage of the always on GPRS networking.
But it will perfect only if it use Windows CE OS (Smartphone 2002)...

The P800 contains a removable flip keypad. Removing the keypad drops the phone's weight from 158g to 148g.
Its physical dimensions are 117x59x27mm

who cares about all this new sh*t!!! If i dont get my MMS upgrade...then i dont think any of their products are worth buying. who knows, these new models might have MMs but dont have signals and cant make calls. so you'll have to wait for an upgrade!! then they pull another fast one and come up with a P800i. |
