@terrible: its free nga ata if you use the www.globe.com.ph APN. question is can you use that APN to surf html pages using ur p800? or wap pages lang ang pede nyang i-surf? i'm planning to get one kasi & i'm just interested whether i can do it. |

I've actually accidentally browsed a web (html) site using my P800. The problem is the screen is so large you need to pan the view left/right and up/down. Besides, the screen is clattered with placeholders for graphics. It is not practical. Unlike Palm OS which has the webclipper application, the P800 although it is html capable is not a good browse for these pages. I am satisfied with text only WAP sites.
Try opening www.google.com and you will experience what I just described.
I think you still do not get charged with getting html pages as long as you are using your P800 internet account that points to www.globe.com.ph.

Terrible, yup surfing through Globe's WAP gateway is still free... but it does filter out SOME (very few) HTML pages, and I don't think you can download large files. But it's free... so I'm not complaining!!! 
The web browser in the P800 isn't the official browser yet... Opera for UIQ wasn't finished in time for the P800 release so it should be made available through SE as a download soon.
And yes, surfing from your laptop will be charged P0.50/KB
Emailing from the P800 is still free as well. Only MMS is charged at P5/MMS |

@ P800 users , Please be advised that Smartnet have a new software version for P800 (R1D). Please backup your phone. For out of warranty phones there is a labor charge. Thanks.

Hello! I'm going to get a new cellphone (most probably a P800) and a guy from the P800_phils YahooGroup suggested that I get from Wintelcom (he said they're currently offering it at P36,500 with warranty). Semicon's currently selling theirs for P39,000.
Well, where are Wintelcom's branches located? Can you guys give me their contact information like phone nos., e-mails, or even a URL? Also, are their services and warranty contracts as good when compared to Semicon's (especially considering that we need to update P800's firmware and that it might need service in the future)?
Thanks...

as far as i know, globe's wap gateway blocks all html pages. you need the internet gateway for that. in fact when used my t68 as a modem for my laptop, i couldn't access a single webpage with the wap gateway. could access my pop mail account tho.
does p800 switch between gateways seamlessly when u access the web? i guess the only way to find out is when this month's bill comes... |

@ferrarista & 619,
Thanks for the replies! Anyways, I was just wondering why this d -- ">lonelyboys8@yahoo.com guy you mentioned can offer the unit at a lower price when it's selling at the actual store for P38,000? Curious lang siguro ako especially considering that buying a P800 isn't a joke (it can buy a freaking PC already!)...
Also, what happens if I need the unit repaired / software updated / returned... do I have to actually go to their branch in Malate? Or can I course it through any SE-authorized service center (like Semicon branches or Smart Centers) and they'll still honor the warranty of the P800 unit? I'm asking this because I work in Ortigas and I know that the Semicon branches here (one in Megamall and another in Podium!) are surely more easily accessed than the Wintelcomm branch located in Malate. If I can indeed course the unit's service repairs / updates to these Semicon branches, then I'll definitely consider getting my unit from this guy because its a lot cheaper. But if not... I think I'll be going more towards getting it from Semicon Podium (although at P39,000  ).
Whatcha guys think?
