Anyone else got one?

This has (deep breath) large Colour TFT Touch Screen, Handwriting Recognition, MP3 player, Outlook synced Contacts & Agenda, MP4 Video player, Chess, Men in Black, Word, XL & PPT reading, Camera, JPEG, MMS, USB conn to PC, open platform Symbian software, Internet, GPRS, WAP, loudspeaker,displays a pic of who is calling -ohhh and you can make calls too (even in the US).

I am very impressed, but still reading the thick manual!

I bought one a few weeks ago.

Have you installed Doom yet? It crashed a few times for me though so i've taken it off now(also too big).

Feature list is amazing. Just a pity that it looks like its made by Tomy or MB. That is U-G-L-Y!

Got one, linked to PC downloaded Midi files (did search) loads of ring tones.

Features are superb, pictures are great,,,,

Though where can I source videos to put them on the phone in MP4 format?

Can you play wav files as ring tunes?

I've currently got the entire theme song (wav) to Grease.

People think it's the radio when it goes off!

Thumbs up

You certainly can but you'll need to frig around with the bit rate because wav files (depending on the quality) can be huge. On this point, have any of you guys managed to get your P800 to play an mp3 as a ringtone? I can only see .wav files offered in the menu list.

Cheers

Been thinking about one of these - very nice. It is a little on the large side, but when you consider it doubles as a phone and PDA in one package, then it's not too bad. Certainly smaller than carrying around a mobile and Palm (for instance).

It's only 'large' so you can see the screen - any smaller and you couldnt see a full stop as you type

Anyone use the handwriting recognition? Seems like going back to primary school to re-learn to write (but with no one shouting at you for the messy scrawl...)

Had a lot of fun convincing a cynical flight crew of its'flight mode' (RX/TX off) yesterday. Even the Jumbo's captain got involved!

Games run well, except there's no decent means of controlling them. You can also run a version of MAME on it!! Again, runs well but impossible to actually play the games.

LOT Bling,

you can down grade after 120days ??
I think the Talk 200 would be a better option for me.

Is there a good equivalent to this phone ?

oops forgot to say that all the prices of mobile phones on all networks will be going up on april the 1st...by at least 50 notes, the handsets cost more to make now, ie digital camera`s, colour screens, bluetooth etc so the price i gave you has now turned into 120 on talk 400 and 220 on talk 200....

http://www.mobileshop.com/mobilephones/orange/paymonthly/ericssonp800.php

the dealers make more commison on higher taffifs, so better prices, etc....but with mobile shop they bill you for 100 notes if you change down to a lower tarrif, cuz orange clawback the commision...so becarefull!!! oh and you cant buy a better phone at the moment....but it cant have 2 lines......


see ya
