How do you define final retail versions? Do you see them in terms of software versions or other aspects? |

oh yeah! 1 more thing to ask, can the P800 surf html pages even though its runs on GPRS/Wap?

yup... strangely enuff. however if the site happens to have a WAP portal in addition to a normal Web site (for example Google, which has both www.google.com and www.google.com/wap), the phone will load the WAP site instead. |

ok here's the story. in need of a pda, not expectin p800 till feb (after seeing SE .sg's letter, half sian already) so i was lookin 4 the NEC MobilePro 300E to use as cheap PDA. went to Mustafa (that place @ Serangoon) around 8pm, about to buy for $499, then thought "just go over to mobile phone section 4 a look and...
almost had a heart attack... $1275, w/ wrty too (but card by Cellstar). some Arab guy was lookin at it but changed his mind and chose a 7650 instead. It's his loss 
Checked package - phone, cradle, charger, MS Duo, CD, cheapo canvas pouch, manuals, box, (did i miss anything?) paid $$$, went home.
So far so good.
Size is ok, for a PDA/phone. 158g is ok, expected for such a device, at least it doesn't drag down the pocket like the xda. But they could have made it smaller.
Superb screen. 4096 vs 65k colours - not much of a diff. At least to my eyes. Touch sensitivity could be better.
Nokia users, don't worry - the Ericsson "turtle interface" is gone (obviously, coz this is a Symbian phone!)
Jog Dial feels oddly placed. One thing: you can access most phone functions using the Jog Dial alone with the flip closed. Cool. FINALLY, can SMS without opening the &@*# flip (the old R380 couldn't).
Build quality is solidly excellent. 'Nuff said. The camera's in need of a lens cover though.
Don't dare to remove the flip. Sounds more dangerous than stripping an M-16 in total darkness.
Stupid 16MB MS Duo. Cheapos.
The apps... I think everyone's seen the manual and read all the P800 threads to death lah, no need to elaborate huh? anyway i haven't explored it yet but what i've seen so far, like the MP3, camera and video player... is impressive, man!
Camera - don't expect miracles. Good pictures seem possible only under good lighting conditions. That said, the viewer refresh rate is higher than the MCA series Communicams on T68/T300 etc. (of course lah, given their %!&* 12MHz processors).
Nice browser. HTML, i mean, man, like REAL Internet, man, is way cool on this thing!
The only bugs I've had so far were Ah Bengs beo-ing (gawking at) it. Then again it's been only 4 hours... more later. Heck, I just finished setting up GPRS (which took me a frickin' 2 hours! Got no help from StarHub or SE!)
if anyone's interested i can post more tomorrow... gotta sleep...

So you bought you phone at $1270 huh? Does the cradle link to the computer like a palm does so as to syn with the com? As I have found some sites that supports symbian phone sw... Does it work like a palm? I am looking forward to this phone but I do not have my money now but soon. I also think I will wait till there is a trade in for it as I want to get rid of my T68i as it has been giving me problems... |

For a almost all in one phone, I think the $1200 plus price is worth it!
A good pda would have cost you around $600, an mp3 player $300, a colour phone with interchangable wallpapers that supprot jpeg to many other formats ( not sure how you wanna rate it), video player( no idea), html internet excess (priceless), touchscreen, bluetooth, usb support, microsoft word/excel and adobe viewer, Infared, camera, games ( chess and car racing), mms, java and more!
So I say its the all in one phone! |

hey guys, i'm new to this forum. okay, maybe not new, been reading here quite long liaoz but nv bothered to register... got a t68i.
p800? i'd rather wait for a 3g hp instead. why bother paying $1000++ for a hp! its a total waste of money. imagine in 1 year it'll probaby drop to a 100 bucks.
anyway, any1 know of any lord of the rings pictures/screen savers/themes for my t68i?? and any1 got the heineken(or issit carlsberg?) commercial ringtone?the cant take my eyes off u 1? i wan the chorus, the 1 from the commercial. jaggie's website only has the starting part.

yah loh! 2006 is a long way and one ting you must remember, Singapore market and their SP are still trying their way to setup the network for G3! just look at mms service, not many are goona use it, only those with the lastest nokias and SE phones are able to use it! Most people are still on those monocrom phones!
It will nv drop to a 100 bucks! Waht we are talking about here is a damm high tech phone! 3 years for you to provide depreciation for that $1k is a very long time and you may possiblely save even more just to get a G3 phone by then! |
