Read it, but it doesnt wheater its worth the 2-3000SEK for switching my 7210 to a P800.
It sure looks nice and has a lot of really cool features!!
But once again, what is good and what is bad about it?

It has lots and lots of nice and useful features, but it's not always that simple to use "on the go".
If you want to play videos and music etc, etc, then it's about the only thing to have. But if you mainly make calls and send sms, that's another story.
SW is fast and stable, not too many bugs and not too annoying.
It's not the perfect tech toy, but pretty close. |

Ok, the P800 is NOT for everyone. For those people who just want a simple call & text phone that has color... the P800 is NOT for you.
It's a very complex machine, it's really a PDA-phone hybrid and should be treated as such. Do not expect a Nokia menu, cuz this is NOT a Nokia. If all you can do is complain about why it's not like a Nokia, the the P800 is NOT for you.
If you're the type who needs to bring your PDA around with you, but find bringing two devices a bit cumbersome...the P800 is for you!
Think of the P800 as a PDA that went on a diet...it's smaller and easier to carry around. I find that using the P800 as just a phone is really like driving an F1 car at 20kph...it can be done, but it's not the best way to use the machine. |

Of course that its not for "everyone" - but remember, many of us, more or less  , geeks here on esato isn´t ereryone!!
We really wants to have the latest, and the most high end, and cool phones.
BTW. Just put out an "4 sale" ad for my 7210.. Dont ask me why!

The P800 is the first integrated device that actually was as good as the hype. I tried a lot of things over the years in order to carry just one device. All attempts ended in failure. Since I got the P800 I only carry one device around. Sure, there are things that could be better, but for the money and the conveneince I feel I got my money's worth. |
