What is this? Right next to the power button. Anybody know? Looks like a hole covered by a rubber piece, but what is it for? The first thought would be some memory card slot, but it doesn´t look wide enough fot that... Those who know, share!  |

IR port maybe?
Or possibly an opening for Memory Stick? |

Hmm I think its to small to fit a Memory stick? The stick is longer than the p800 is wide!?

Haven't seen the link coz reading the forum on my t68, on the way to work. Could it be a slot to hold a stylus like the pocket pc pdas. Saw one photo of the P800 with one touching the screen so it does have one

It´s not for a stylus. The stylus is on the other side, snaps on flat to the side.
On another note, Sony has a new form factor for the MemoryStick, which is smaller. You could see it next to the prototype phone Sony Ericsson showed of a few months a go:

hi everyone, i think it is a volume control
up and down similar to the one on the T68, but different...
i could be wrong, this is just a guess.
regards to all

Perhaps the hole if for an earpiece adaptor or some other input device. The dial thingee MIGHT BE a jog dial which is common among Sony products like its Clie and notebook lines. |

It looks like it might be a hole for some sort of wire that connects to the computer. The P800 has a built in digital still camera and I wouldn't be surprised if that port is for a serial or maybe even USB connection. I mean I could be wrong because if it retains the old ericsson designs it would use a datacable to download to a serial port. Just my two cents.

It is the hole for a standard earpiece, covered with a rubber flap. And the small thing on the other side is the Sony-style jog dial. (Had a non-working sample in my hand recently) |

Are you completely sure? For if you look under the phone its the same "bottom-contact" as on "all" other T28, T39, T65 and T68. So why is then 2 connectors for en ear plug??
And I just saw that there is standard ear plug almost on top of the left side, an ordinary one that you uses for port. CD´s walkmans etc. So i has 2, one for HF and one for "headphones"
I been looking a bit closer to all pics I can find, and I think it might be a volume button like the ones on T28, T68 and so on, but a little bit higher on the same side, if Im not wrong, you are able to see a "wheel button" and thats the volume (It might the contrast like the ones used on Nintendo Gameboys, but i doubt it)
You can see the "volume icon" on it to.

Yepp it must be, had another look now. And the wheel button is of course the JOG used on SONYs phones, sorry for believing anything else (perhaps might it be used as volume  )
Cause when I look around there is no other place the IR can be!

The upper wheel is an "action wheel". You choose by scrooling the wheel, and select by pushing it in. I´m not surprised if it doubled as a volume control while in a call.
It sounds strange to me that it should be for an ear piece. That would be connected to the uppermost hole, which is for headphones Since I can´t see an infrared port enywhere else, I´m inclined to think that´s what it is. |
