I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden it started to become very slow. Then it stopped working!!!
I can turn it on but it does not go further than the first  logo.
Is there a way to reset the whole thing from that posission?
First time ever I've had any kind of troubble.

Did You by any chance get the P800 upgraded ?
I read that some P800's went "dead" after the upgrade, that just came out.

No, I was considering doing it but never got around to it.
The light comes on and everything seems to be normal for about 5 seconds and then it freezes completly. The computer dosen't find it eigther if I put it in the cradle.

That`s the second or third one on here with the same problem so it must be recognised by SE, i`m a little worried as they are`nt sold here yet & it just seems a matter of time.
The post i read on here said there is no cure but replacement. |

Does it still charge? Is the signal light bright red?

I have had my P800 upgraded with the new software package.
It works like a charm!
Before you go and have your P800 upgraded, do an upgrade as it will clean it's user data completely. Luckly, restoring it again makes it just the way it was. You might have to uplad the stuff, restart as you are asked, allow a few minutes to pass and then restart it again to gain full functionality. My Email clients didn't work untill after 2 restarts.
My recommendation to every user of the P800 is:
Make a backup of your P800 on a regular basis. There were problems with it's predecessor, the R380 when it somehow lost all user data.
I'm not saying the P800 inherited this problem, just it's better to be safe than sorry. |

I was beginning to have problems with the device as well. It started out fantastic, stable and very fast, but once I filled it to the brim with files, the trouble started. It would ask for a reset a few times a day, and even after I deleted most of the files from the phone, the problem persisted. It's now in a SE centre doing a R1B --> R1D upgrade. Hope it comes back better.
Just wondering whether I should restore everything from the backup or start with a clean slate? Now I know not to load the phone with too many files or programs. Could that have been the cause of your problem as well, tranquil? |

ouuu, thats too bad tranq!
I am glad just the memorystick is not working in mine, cuz I dont think I could survive many days without my beloved P800! 
Has anybody had problems with their memorystick yet? Mine has frozen totally, cant delete anything from it (and yes, I have checked that the write protection is turned off)
I am sending it to a servicecenter later today |

I've tried the lot. If I could only access the service menu to re-format the thing it obviously should do the trick. I just can't get it to go any further than the first logo.
I'll take it in today.
Thanks guys.

@brick
It might be a reason. I've taken a lot of pics, added a game(Stunt Run), put in a lot of details in my contacts, a coupple of Mp3s and a few midis. I guess all of that is lost but I've stored some of it in the Duo-stick and done a few backups on my PC so I'm not too worried about what gets lost.
I've been down to the shop and left it with them so we'll just have to wait and see...
