So far I think it is between the 300 kyocera 7135 and the p800
here is the best p800/mac info i have so far from sony tech:
Thank you for the revised email, I am now able to research your inquiry, here are the results from sony tech:
2. SO THE P800 SPECIFICALLY WILL SYNC VIA BLUETOOTH WITH MAC AND JAQUAR
AND ICAL, CORRECT?
Apple's new applications and operating system and are "ready to run" with the T68i. Mac OS X version 10.2 "Jaguar" is Bluetooth enabled and lets you send and receive SMS directly from your Mac. iSync and iCal provide advanced but intuitive functionality for synchronizing calendar and address book data on your Mac with your T68i and a host of other devices. Finally, you can also use your T68i as a wireless modem for getting online while on the move. And this is just the start. We have a shared focus on fun and exciting applications for imaging and entertainment. With mobile devices like the P800 on the horizon, Sony Ericsson sees enormous potential for new types of applications running between the Mac and the phone in the future.
3.BUT DOES THIS MEAN THAT I CAN RECEIVE, OPEN, CREATE, SEND AND EDIT MS WORD
DOCUMENTS AND WORD ATTACHMENTS
WITHIN THE P800 ITSELF? SO THAT YOU ARE SELF CONTAINED.... I MEAN WITHOUT
HAVING TO TRANSFER TO A MAC LAPTOP?
Unfortunately you would only be able to send as attachment, there are document viewers [provided on CD] that enable you to open and read this includes MS Word, Excel, Acrobat.
4. WILL THERE BE A CONDUIT FOR ENTOURAGE MS OFFICEX FOR MAC TO SYNC WITH THE
P800 TO UPDATE ENTOURAGE AS THE CALENDER OR WILL THIS ONLY WORK WITH ICAL?
ALSO CAN ENTOURAGE WORK WITH THE P800 AS AN EMAIL CLIENT?
There is no mention of Entourage only iCAL w/ iSYNC. You may have to inquire with Apple.
5QUICKTIME 6 IN JAQUAR IS MPEG-4. WHAT WOULD BE THE EXACT PROCEDURE TO PUT A
QUICKTIME 4 VIDEO OF MY CLIENTS TESTEMONIALS ON MY P800 SO THAT I COULD PLAY
THEM FOR PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS? WOULD THIS BE WEB BASED OR COULD IT BE ON THE
MEMORY STICK? HOW DO WE DO THIS? (I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE ABILITY TO
SHOW VIDEO CLIENT TESTEMONIALS OF MY HAPPIEST CLIENTS ON MY PHONE TO NEW
CLIENTS!
To be honest, the actual process is not available on this level of Technical Support due to the product's unavailablity here in the U.S.A.
1) WHEN EXACTLY WILL THE PHONE BE AVAILABLE IN THE USA?
2) WHAT IS THE PRICE RANGE?
3) WHERE CAN I BUY IT IN CHICAGO
the P800 will be available during Q4 [Fourth Quarter], 2002. Unfortunately no additional release information has been posted. However, once it has been made available you will be able to contact your local GSM service providers like Voicestream at 800-937-8997 or Cingular's GSM service at 1-800-393-7267 or AT&T GSM at 1-866-293-4634 about prices, availability and services.
All constructive comments welcome,
