I've just read over at Symbian website - www.symbian.com - that the P800 will have full factory support for MP3 and memory card expandability too in the form of the new smaller (Sony) Memorystick. How kewl is this!

Indeed! As I said in a previous post, this is going to seriously influence my decision.

12Mb on board RAM and expandable memory is serious business.

I love Nokia, but I think I'll live this P800 more!

I'm just browsing your site - you've got the knack of getting topical news User posted image

I love music on the go! MP3 = awesome. I've also seen that the P800 comes with a PDF reader too. Lets just hope SE have been generous with the built-in memory to run the applications! (Unlike the 9210). Plus, I hope the price is right.

Been reading that Palm is coming out with a couple of smartphones. Wonder what they'll be like?

I do like the P800's design - but I think it'll be one of those things you'll have to see before you buy to know for sure. Pictures can be deceptive - it's amazing how many people in the USA were negative about the 9210 - saying it was too big - it's one of those things products which look bigger in photos than in really I think.

Nokia 0 - SE 1

Nokia 0 - 1 SE ?

I agree.

I was hands down in favour of going 7650, but the spec of the P800 means I gotta wait.

The 7650 <I>looks</I> sexier (IMHO), but the P800 is just so specced up, it's going to have to be a must for the power user.

Maybe Nokia have plans up their sleeves for a more powerful (and no doubt expensive User posted image ) device.

I think the 7650 and P800 are different devices and will appeal to different markets.

The 7650 a very advanced mobile phone with camera and limited additional software capabilities. Its designed as a fun device aimed at the mass market (well more mass than the 92XX).

The P800 is more of a full blown PDA with phone. I suspect it will be quite a bit more expensive then the 7650 but has a lot more functionality.

To summarise how I feel about the current Symbian devices.

7650 Fun Smartphone/Camera aimed at non current PDA users.
P800 PDA/Smartphone/Camera aimed at Palm/PocketPC people.
92XX Smartphone aimed at PSION/Keyboard WINCE users.
