Should i get p800 or wait

Yeah. This is a toughie. A close mate is in the same boat. Thing is with mobies, they move on so fast. I'd say wait until the 810/900 comes out. I suspect that its release will mark the discounting of existing P800 stocks anyway so the discount you're currently eligible for, won't really be relevant. I can tell you without reservation that the P800 is in a different league. I haven't regretted a moment of ownership. The only thing I really think is absent is predictive text (which I hope will be incorporated within the new model), but the graffiti input and the virtual keyboard are dead easy to use anyway. You won't regret a P800.

I agree with rb16, P800 is the best phone I've evere owned, and it has all features needed and more.

but if u fancy having digital pics with youe mobile, and like watching them on it's screen, then I recommend waiting for the P900.

actually, there are no big changes have been made in it's hardware, only the UIQ change that allow you to have text over images.

so it's your choice ...😉

thanks alot guys i really appreciate your input. i just got the p800 went down to carephone warehouse and have one in my hands...........mmmm this thing is amaaazing... one question though. why doesnt it turn on??? do i have to fully charge it first shouldnt it work on a charger????
Hellpppp

Sorry if this is a stupid question

Thanks again....

P.s i havent read the manual.... yet

maybe i should 😕

Keep the "on" button (on the side of the phone) pressed for more than one microsecond! Although I'm sure you will have sussed that by now. I didn't bother charging it fully before I used it - was too impatient! And I still get great battery life.

i can still remember the time my p800 came through via courier, aahhh, what a wonderful day it was

not to forget T9 predictive messaging .. bundled camcorder application .. cant remember what else ..

a lot of the apps are just personal preference, the most important ones in my opinion is the day and week view programs, like handy day, tracker or active desk, these all have the same purpose but it's just a matter of preference which one you prefer, the rest of the apps are just more ways in customizing the phone to your liking.

agre with u nk8, but don't u remember the first day u got ur p800?
I couldn't stop installing softwares to try on my phone, and trying more and more, without knowing which is usefull and which is not!
so I believe he'll just need to start getting to it, and then he'll choose what suits him! 😊

cool thanks for the list......im at work at the moment but i cant help going off to a quite room and playing with the phone...😃

has anyone used moviemaker? how good is it..... i have got tracker 2.0 and it gives the phone a better PDA type look....which i like....does the dictionary work like T9 as in will it auto complete words when typing a message etc...????

thanks for all you help dudes

regards

Amre 😃

as for movimaker, I was thinking f trying it, I'll let u know when I do (unless u do it first 😛 )

tracker is one f the best programs available for P800, can't wait for Tracker 3

as for T9 Lang. well, don't bother nothinng till now supports T9 for SE P800, hopefully some day one good programmer will c our misery, and do us a good software for T9 (btw, P900 supposed to have T9, so we might get it work in the P800 after all) 😊
