Hobbe: I don't think that any shops have allowed any preorders yet. Check http://www.expansys.com

webwatcher: The Cebit P800 didn't have MemoryStick right? I wonder where the slot will be situated on the phone, and if there will be any difference in size and dimension...

500 USD? That sounds way too cheap.. Is it really possible since  includes a 16MB MemoryStick Duo in the package? It's a mobile with a colorscreen, large memory, digital cam, mp3 player.. Come on, T68m is still selling for around 500 USD (5800 - 6500kr) here in Sweden.
mrNoodles: Unfortunately I think that it will be twice as expensive, MS Duo.. but only in the beginning.. The price will drop as soon as many devices start using the format. At least I hope so

haha.. Since The P800 homepage just came up today, I guess that has just finalized the design and tech spec for this product. It would take at least one to two months before this phone can go into production. Yes, that's how long it takes, if not more...

I only repeat what I hear. Somebody gives me also info that SE strategy on the market will be make a lot of phones quickly with full range and sell it cheap to ocupate market and increse % of market. Why do you think T300 will be selling cheaper than T68i even it is phone with same capatibilities and camera included?
Ihope it is true, I am not sure until it will be on the market.

Hehe.. I didn't think that P800 will be cheaper than T68, but more expensive. That's why I wrote that 500 USD sounded too cheap But hey, if that's true, then GREAT!
How accurate is your source? I am a bit curious.. Yeah, I understand that SonyEricsson wants to grab market-shares now. First a technology-war between and Nokia, and then a price-war.. it would be perfect! For us consumers, that is..

Kevin81:
Donīt you think that the P800-site coming on line today has something with CommuciAsia starting? I donīt think itīs just because they "just finalized the design and tech spec for this product". Thatīs not how companies announce their new products. This is timed and executed by a overall plan. And, when the P800 first was announced publicly, the Memory Stick Duo was still under wraps, it was first announced months later.

Sony Ericsson announces Memory Stick Duo and MP3-player features of the P800 multimedia phone
Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications today announced that the P800, the multimedia phone announced in March this year, also will feature extendable memory through Memory Stick Duo, and MP3-player capabilities. The supplied Memory Stick Duo gives additional 16MB memory capacity to the phone and makes it possible to easily back-up files as well as transfer documents, pictures and music between the P800 and a PC. The P800 can now play the part of phone, PDA, digital camera, music player and Internet access point.
Memory Stick was designed to record, transfer and share various types of digital content, such as still and moving images, music, voice, and computer data and applications. With the wide range of compatible products available today, Memory Stick makes it easy to create personal network to connect products, content and people.
Documents and pictures on the P800 can easily be saved onto the Memory Stick Duo and then transferred to a PC, or the other way around. It is also possible to take MP3-format music from a PC and listening to it with the P800, which will come with a set of stereo earphones. When taking pictures with the inbuilt digital camera of the P800, they can easily be transferred to a PC. And vice versa, a picture from a PC can be transferred to the P800 and used as its screen saver or stored in the photo library. Maximum connectivity is offered in the P800, with Bluetooth, Memory Stick, cable and Infrared. A 16MB Memory Stick Duo comes with the P800, which together with the 12MB internal memory gives 28MB for the user. Memory Stick Duo with larger capacity can eventually be purchased for use with the P800, and with an adapter, the Memory Stick Duo can be used in all Memory Stick enabled products.
For the consumers who enjoy games, the P800 comes bundled with the Men In Black II game, courtesy of Sony Pictures Digital Entertainment. The "point and shoot" game uses MIB aliens and weaponry and has a level based in the MIB Headquarters as seen in the upcoming film. The landscape color screen and the polyphonic sound will bring the game's full dimension to P800 users.
A special version of the P800, the P802, will be available for the Chinese market. It handles Chinese handwriting recognition, text input, dictionary, games and Lunar calendar.
The P800 offers the possibility of playing local and streaming media files. This could be a sequence from a sports event, music video or movie trailer. The P800 is also an organizer, it can handle daily operations such as calendar, e-mail, address book and to-do-lists, all of these easy to do back-up copies of on the Memory Stick Duo. These features can also easily be synchronized with the most common office applications on a PC. The P800 enables to take notes and view files such as Powerpoint, Word or Excel. Thanks to Bluetooth wireless technology, the P800 can be connected to a Bluetooth headset, a PC, or other Bluetooth-enabled gadgets.
The P800 runs on the latest version of the open operating system, Symbian OS v7.0 and incorporates the recently announced UIQ pen-based user interface. As the P800 is open, one can download corporate applications or games based on Java and C++, which means that consumers will be able to update their handsets regularly with new applications and content.
The P800 is open in more ways than one. Its integrated browser can access the Internet (HTML, xHTML, cHTML) and WAP. Furthermore, the P800 can be used across five continents and in around 160 countries as it runs on GSM 900/1800/1900. The P800 is a fully featured mobile multimedia product, and will be on the market in Q3.

I'm as excited as everybody else, you know, I most especially love being able to turn off the radio. Originally, that would have been useful to me as I work in a hospital...I had never even thought of an airplane like the webpage mentioned. I sure am enjoying my 68m for now though |

YoMan: I agree. But MemoryStick wasn't even thought off when showed off P800 at Cebit. Just two or three weeks ago did rumours appear saying that P800 is undergoing a minor hardware-makeover by SonyEricsson.
And today the MemoryStick news popped up, just in time for Communcasia. So yes, the product spec didn't finish just today, but in the latest week or two
