hello all i sent this e-mail to SE.....

hello i want to start by saying the P800 is a great phone, but i am not
happy about the fact there us no video recording facility on the P800, i mean
look at the nokia 3650 or the up coming Nokia 6600 which has Digital camera with
zoom & Video recorder & player (just to name a few) u say u didn?t include or
make this software because u think its illegal, well why have nokia included these facilities, pls create an application that will do the zoom & Video recording, otherwaise I am sorry to say I will have to switch to the Nokia 6600, I await ur repliy.

and the repliy from SE was......................................

Regarding your enquiry, I agree the P800 is a wonderful handset but there was never any indication that the handset would support this facility in the future or after it's release. Therefore Iregret to inform you that if you require this facility you will need to purchase a handset that will.

so wat SE r saying is there was never any indication that the handset
would support this facility in the future or after it's release, does this mean there will never be Video recording for the P800????????????????

No, it just means that wont make a video recorder. This doesnt mean that someone else cant or will not make it!
BTW do a search.

you do need to understand something though. if camcorder did come out for the p800 it wouldnt be that great. 2 reasons-
-optical zoom would be impossibly. digital zoom would look crap.
-secondly you wouldnt be able to record much. it would have to record to ram and them be moved to your duo.
im not just guessing here. it can be proven by looking at the recorder for the nr-70v, which had an identical processor to the p800.
check http://www.clievideo.com
this would mean the most you could realistically record would be 7-10 megs?
who knows. but sony support is rubbish.

Whats so good about video recording o.n your phone? lt's not like you can send lt to people OTA and the quality will be crap any way. If your so bothered carry a video camera tape what you want then convert to mpI voila. [addsig]

They wouldnt have DUOs as they are a Sony made Mem Stick. Do Nokias have external Mem Stick slots? Cus thats not much Video you can store anyway.

hey everyone.

I don't mean to be rude, but can we please put this issue to rest once and for all.

Firstly. SE will probably never release a video cam app for the P800, stop asking them to alright.

Secondly, There are 3rd parties working on such an app for the P800, so IT IS COMING, JUST BE PATIENT. It won't have great quality, but it's a phone so it's cool. We just want it to be able to capture a moment and MMS or E-mail the clip to someone.

In conclusion ESATO members, video app is coming, lets just wait a little. I mean 7650's video app didn't come over night either.

Nokia 3650 uses a MMC Card (looks very much like the Duo), but has (if i remember) 3.5 meg Internal ram.

It can only record a maximum of about 10-15 seconds (seemed to changed).

And FYI it is CRAP.

My head is wreaked listening to will it wont it etc etc..

Video will come for p800--FACT

i have been making and sending videos to friends for over 6months now first with N7650 then with the N3650 and although for obvious reasons not hollywood quality... its perfect for mobile communications (FOR NOW) we always want it better!! which is the way it should be)
when i started sending video it used to be only 9 seconds long video with a size of about 90k its amazing that im doing this at all. Only less than a year ago i was stuck to plain txt messages.. now i can send a video msg to a friend anywhere in the world!
The official video recorder that came out from nokia for the7650 didnt have sound now it does, & when i bought my 3650 there was video on it with no sound and 10 sec restriction but within a week i had sound with video then 3rd party people came along and now i have sound and video for as long as my phone has memory/storage
(i have 128meg MMC card+4Meg internal on my 3650.)
the sony ericsonn people simply say that tey hadnt video in mind but thats not to say its not being done,
on the SE developer mobility world website they have a developers tool for download to port applications from Symbian Series 60 (7650,3650) to UIQ symbian p800

http://www.ericsson.com/mobilityworld/sub/open/technologies/epoc/tools/porting_appl

and there is a third party company activly developing Camcorder software for the p800, (their software is on both my 7650 &3650 phones)
they emailed me the other day here is that mail...

Dear *******
Thank you very much for paying attention to our product
( ETI Camcorder). We are actively developing ETI Camcorder based on Sony Ericsson P800. We don't have yet and the release date is not certain.
When our ETI Camcorder for Sony Ericsson P800 is finished, we will contact you .

Thanks & Best regrads

nokia3650 has got 3.4mb internal memory,and it records 15sec of film without sound and uses 94kb,s.or 10secs with sound.so with the internal memory there is space for loads of clips.ps you cant put a digital video recorder in your shirt pocket
