again, remember it was 10 years ago. consider its possibilities with that which was actually available at the time
(don't forget that Sony already had a memory stick compatible phone prior to the T68... the MZ5)

I agree even 10 years ago Sony did have some pretty amazing phones which were leaps and bounds ahead of anyone else in terms of design and technology.This one for example was quite unique and the smallest phone around then don't know the model number exactly? Sorry couldn't find a bigger picture without the model number.

No,still cannot agree I never liked any of the early Sony phones. Though it's different now. That original T68 was my fave

I don't recognise that specific model but its definitly a relative of the Z1 from 1997 (4 years prior to T68)
actually, I was trying to make this a nostalgic topic but we seem to have regressed back to "old" Sony

This one has to be one of my favourite phones ever. (apart from the T68i of course)

it was my first "smart" phone (except for a prior compaq iPaq to which I added the jacket which, with a headset, provided GSM compatibility)
many did consider the P800 a fischer price toy, but it was a "great" that preceeded the much improved P900 and P910 but which was followed by the dissapointing P990
edit: was there ever another touch screen phone that had the ability for its touch screen to be operated by stylus and also by its flip up hard buttons

The p800 was my first smartphone too. Much preferred the p900 though. Had that on a Voda contract. My fave overall was the s700i. Just loved it!!

S700 was certainly a favourite here at Esato for a long time, with its swivel body and CCD 1.3 megapixel camera which produced the best pics of its time, but sadly its one that never appealed to me as it was so much bigger than the candy bars of its time (K700) and offered much less than the smartphone of its time (P910), both of which I had and so couldn't compromise for something in the middle

I used to have the Ericsson R380, but that did not have a stylus. The keys on the flip was pressed directly on the display.

@Bono, so was the P900/P910. You missed my point.
@laffen, I was never an ericsson fan before the T68 and know little of the R380 even after reading much about it here (except for this aspect), hence my question... so its now clear where P800 got its roots I guess! Nice!
I was a Nokia communicator fan in those days, since the original 9000 which I now read was 4 years before the R380, through to the 9210 before they became very bloated with the 9500 and I lost interest
