Do someone know which is the one installed on p800?

The ARM familly of CPUs are quite commonly modified to fit the specific products.
It would not be far fetched to assume that Ericsson has made an entirely custom asic so as to fit the needs of the P800.
Custom ASICs are quite common after all, for instance you have custom asic ARM 7:s in the Cpens ("pen shaped" text scanners).

I agree.
There are lots of things on the p800 that I'm wondering about but the official info is prol deliberately confusing because SE wasn�t sure of the specs them selves.
Would you sell a PC/MAC/PDA with:
Contains a ARM some sort cpu at some speed. (We never said it was 156Mhz so don�t blame us when you find out that its 105 as all other arm9 models out there.)
The memory can be around 128Mb at some speed that�s far below what the card can handle.
There�s a cpu/mem/io �Bus� as the cpu hasn�t got the mem on it, but we don�t know anything about the limitations in speed, lookup, wright and so on.
USB if �fully� supported trough a serial connection
Weight, measure, color bla bla (other crap I can find out by looking at the phone)

Someone could always open thier phone and look at the board to see if it's stamped on the processor 😊
