Sony Ericsson's P800 To Reach First Markets Soon
STOCKHOLM (Dow Jones)--Sony Ericsson has begun shipping its P800 camera phone, a spokesman for the mobile-phone maker said Wednesday, after several months delay.
The phone should appear first in stores of the Nordic region, Italy and Hong Kong, Sony Ericsson spokesman Peter Bodor said. It won't reach other markets until early in 2003, he said.
The P800, which includes a digital camera and functions as a personal digital assistant as well as a phone, was originally due to hit the market by the end of September, but Sony Ericsson delayed the launch without explanation. It promised to have it out before Christmas.
The phone is one of several new models from Sony Ericsson that analysts say must be successful if the company, a joint venture created by combining the phone units of Telefon AB LM Ericsson (ERICY) and Sony Corp. (SNE) last year, is to reverse the slide in its market share and reach profitability.
Sony Ericsson was the world's fifth largest phone maker in the third quarter of 2002, with a market share of around 5%.

At least it's finally started shipping/ I wonder where a good online Greek seller is....
They said at www.mobil.se and www.di.se that P800 will become availble on monday here in sweden and the price will be around 8000 - 9000kr
(850-1000 Euro)
UAE is one of them!!! 😃 😃 😃
next week i will get my P800
and this should be next monday 16th (as i said b4)
sweden, UAE, greece (16th dec)
italy , HK ( anytime)
I don't believe that. This phone must be come to Germany before Xmas and it will come!!! The one said ''' in Sweden, UAE and Greek'' the other one'' Italy, Hk, and so on'''. Germany has got a big mobile phone market and all people love mobile phones. But in Greek, they will not sell much phones.
I mailed to a Sony Ericsson Manager. We will see what he will say
and if you read on it says because that is where we have service centers!
[quote="DmX"]and if you read on it says because that is where we have service centers![/quote]
But some days before they said that the network providers will handle everything.
What is the service centers thing about then....
How much is this in euros? 8000 - 9000kr
Looks like the UK ppl will have to wait until 2003 :cry:
All because SE couldn't fix 1 little problem with the Mermory card :cry:
Wait a minute,how can the MMC problem effect UK only phones? Or did i misunderstood something?

rough translation
Sony Ericsson P800 available for sale during next week
...
Sony Ericsson combined communicator and camera phone P800 will be in the shops during the coming week. Per Alksten confirmed this on a press meeting today.
That means already monday could you get your hands on Sony Ericssons new flagship phone
Builtin camera are one of the hottest functions in the new mobile (i personally do not agree 😉 But the P800 is also a communicator fully equiped with software for text editing, spreadsheet functions, web browser, e-mail, MP3 player and more.
We have already started to test the P800, and you can read our judgement in the coming issue. The price is expected to be between 8000-9000 SEK including VAT (�870-�950) - without subscribtion to a provider.

Hmmm.....If you count out elderly ppl and children under 8 (because believe me they have mobile phones for 10 year olds with pay as u go sims especially for children in Greece ) that might be true! 😊

Sorry I didn't make myself clear, I ment it was due for release in September and now we've waited this long:
long................longer..............longer...............it's released this week.......................sorry maybe next month..................longer....................longer......................well actually we're not sure when it's out.......................longer..........................................................bit longer.....................longer.......................NOW.......????
Just damn annoying, all because of the problems they were having putting the memory card in 'hot'.
I know the feeling.If you remeber,it was something similar with the 7650,but not this much of a hastle.
Lets not forget that SE were not 'fixing' a problem with a memory stick, they were INTEGRATING a memory stick into the phone. It was not originally going to have one. That's a fairly huge design modification and not surprising that its forced SE to delay the release etc.
Well, haven't heard when Australia will get it but I'm sure it'll be a long time before the carriers are satisfied with it enough to sell it on contract. This is what happened with the R380s which I have. It took months.
Dear all,
