I have only had a quick play on the P800, but it seemed to be quite responsive. How do people here find the speed of it? Do you ever experience any slow-downs?

I'll be getting the P900 when it comes out. Do we know how the speed of it compares to the P800?

Nixin mentioned in another thread that the P900 has a 400MHz ARM processor - can someone confirm this? What is in the P800?

By the way, I am so preoccupied with the speed of the phone because I have an Orange SPV which experiences horrendous slow-downs (I only got the SPV because I couldn't wait for the P800 to arrive )

P800 has a 167Mhz ARM-9. It's very fast for me, I play DOOM a lot.

Dunno about the P900, it'll be similar speed, as the P800 is already plenty fast, lots of headroom there.

drinker, i dont really care whether nixin reads this but hes an imposter, he just posts dumb answers in thread and pretends he doesnt know wot hes talking about. dont pay attention.

regarding p900 im not too sure about capabilities. there r a couple of web sites, and there mite be some info on here about the capabilities of thew p9 - do a search for 'p900' on here to find links. i dont really think we can get an accurate idea of wot its gonna be like until SE offically release it.

Btw never mention the N word again, as this may cause his fungus infested brain to contaminate your thoughts causing you to also write stupid posts. personally i dont think that the P900s speed will be significantly faster than the exsisting P800, but it certainly would be an added bonus to what will be an outstanding piece of technology, judging by the current model. we will just have to wait and see fingers crossed.

A little slow? Fullscreen on the standard player is disgusting, 1-2 fps!! Camcoder is a lot better shows that SE/symbian developers were rushing things or jus lazy?

Well a camcorder in 7650 isn't that useful since you've got only a few MBs space to record in

As for a possible difference in clock speed I don't believe there would be any reason for SE to increase it. Who knows, the internal hardware might be identical to the one in the P800....

Of course it would be cool to have SETI@Phone running in your P900

The problem with widescreen video viewing is that the poor P800 processor has got to resample every single frame set in a distinctly non-trivial way. I imagine that encoding a video for 208 by 320 would produce much better results.... anyone got time to try?
