Hi
We take delivery of 5 P800s tomorrow, these are mainly for business us. email, browsing, checking over document and Instant messaging. I expect the camera and the media player will get some use but not much.
Do users find the standard 16mb memory stick is a limitation in normal use or is it fine until you want to start storing lots of pictures, mp3s etc?
I was just wondering as I'm ordering some car chargers and bluetooth headsets so I might add to the order if people think extra ram is a good idea.
Also if we have 5 P800s in one office, is it possible to have a bluetooth hub on our network so we can all have direct access to the internet and our email server without using GPRS? If so can someone point me in the direction of such a device?
Many thanks

If you want to listen to any amount of mp3's you will need a 64 or 128 memory card. You can get 2 or 3 songs on the 16m card. If it is just for work use then you might not need this. For most of the functions the 16m card is enough, you can use all the pda functions and phone functions with this card. A blue tooth hub would be a good idea, although it may be cheaper to buy a dongle for each PC and connect though that. You have to ask yourself if people have a PC close by would they really need to check their mail or surf the net on their phone? I am not sure of your nature of business so this may not be the case?
Hope this helps.

It would come down to your definition of "normal" use  but 16MB should be fine in most cases (until like you said, you stock it up with pictures, voice memos, word/rtf/pdf and such documents, games, needless applications, porn... oops did i really say that?  |

A bluetooth hub would be not allow the P800s to connect to the internet. The P800 needs the mRouter software running on a PC in order for it to do that. Nice idea though.

i think u are wrong here andy .... if u have the bluetooth hub connected to a computer (via bluetooth or usb even) that has access to the internet then u can have wireless internet via bluetooth to ur p800 .... but u need opera browser on ur p800 for it to work cause opera reconizes the bluetooth connection .... |
