Is the P800 a 3G phone in the UK sense? I spoke to Three who are the first to launch 3 G in the UK and they say it won't work on the 3 G network - only the three hansets they have will (NEC and Motarola)

Is this true? The P 800 seems to have all of the features necessary for the 3 G network e.g. camera, video player etc.

Surely it is clever enough to work on 3 G? Or will I have to wait till SE bring out a 3 G handset?

no, P800 is not a 3G phone... 3G/UMTS uses different frequencies than GSM... that's why P800 will not work....
