Redshoes,

Perhaps you could help me out... could you point me to any of those shops in HK that sells 128 duo for < HK$500, any reputable shops having websites I could order online from?

Hi Enterprise,

There are a few of them in Wanchai Computer Center (just at the MTR station exit) and 298 Computer Center both in Wanchai. They are small shops thus I'm not sure about warranty, but a few of us in the office don't really mind coz the chances of having them damaged are pretty low and the shops themselves will do the warranty if u return within a week.

I can check them out after work and post some phone numbers if you wanna call.

Hi Enterprise and everyone,

I found a shop yesterday, but I think they have adjusted the price for the DUO, it's now selling for HK$685 (128MB) and HK$385 (64MB) respectively. :cry:

I will check out 298 computer center later during lunch, but here's the address and phone of the shop I was looking at yesterday:

Coxell Digital Camera
Shop 150, 1/F., Southorn Center,
130 Hennesy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong
Tel: +852 2838 8565
Fax: +852 2838 6225

Hi guys,

I'm back, it's so damn hot outside lately... anyways, just came back from 298 computer center. Damn bastards must've increased the price, the best I can find is HK$750 over there.

The next place I would go to would be the infamous Golden Arcade in Sham Shui Po, but it's miles away from where I am. So far the best price I could get is HK$685 now. :evil:

Sorry guys, I'll keep you posted if I do find anything cheaper...

im the one asking about using the p800 in japan. globe telecom said i cannot use it because japan is using a different frquency, however, i can apply for their roaming service and use another phone which they will provide.

hiya guys i'm from manila and i got my phone about a month ago. i just wanted to the give the guys who want to buy a memory stick in manila a heads up. I don't know if you guys know this aready but Mobile zone, which is a shop at the front side of virra mall, greenhills is selling mm duo sticks for P5,500 which seems pretty reasonable considering brandos sells it at $100 pluss shipping, and other shops in greenhills range from about P8,000 to P6,000.
I dont know if anyone can find a cheaper one, but i hope this helps someone

Guest 19 Jul 2003, 14:20

Guest 23 Jul 2003, 15:47

:roll: hello im also a p800 user from bacolod city, i got my p800 last summer and its a very good phone, what may negative comment is that u cant edit excel, and other office programs in the phone, it is only a viewer and also it has no video to capture those special moments even just for a few seconds.

what can i get by upgrading my phone? does it perform better or faster?

good day to all

bigdaddychris 24 Jul 2003, 06:50

hi jupiter! software upgrades removes the bugs from the previous software versions. R2F is the latest upgrade.

the sad note on having a P800 is not able to have a video capture. i think that there are already softwares being developed for this feature.
