Especially, if it runs out of battery at night, it wouldnt wake me up.
No Fax, and that keypad.
And most of all No SMS Delivery reports!!! I need those.

Hardware wise the p800 is better in almost any way. End of story.

Software support for the P800 is not so big as with the 7650. ANd since Series 60 might become a standard due to licensing....I think that it will win in the Software side.

What is best for you is absolutely your choice. What do you want....a hardware giant without software.....or an hardware dwarf with a lot of software to play with?

I agree with you Malebuffy on the hardware dwarf but tons of software to play with and lots of them are so useful you can't go without.

Besides, the P800's front cover (the flip cover) looks so flimsy. The P800 would have had more appeal if it did not come in it's current color now IMHO it looks more of a toy than a serious or high-end phone. That's just me I suppose.

P800 lack of a wonderful 7650 joystick.

I agree with MaleBuffy and Jyrik on all counts,i would like to add one or two: The bugs or missing features that Jyrik mentined could be easily fixed or added.The number of third party apps for the P800 is very small,if my memory serves me right,it was the same for the 7650.
You have to consider the fact that the P800 is officialy released in a small number of countries.
Things could change for the 7650 too,but its more unlikely because problems for the 7650 are on the hardware side (Bluetooth MMC Battery,if that happens,the 7650 will not part my side for a long time 😃 ),dont get me wrong,i'm more then pleased with my baby (7650) and i would never part it.

I wouldn't suggest buying the P800 right now,maybe wait a couple of months,wait for some firmware upgrades and bug fixes,third party apps to pop up.

Overall: Quoting Muffy,a hardware giant with great potential.It would be a shame if the giant was slain by some software dwarfs 😃

If you are willing ot wait,wait for the P800 or....what do you know,Nokia might suprise you ( 7650i 😉 )
If you are in a immediate need of a device,get the 7650.

If you need memory, ALOT of memory, (mp3s for instance) don't bother yourself and just get a memory expandable device (P800, 3650) but if you have a Mp3 player that you mind carrying around, or don't feel like having Nelly rapping your whole day, you can mange the memory in the 7650 quite easily, (pics don't take much space, so do contacts, as for apps and games they can be compressed, and midis for ringtones 😃)

Not to confuse the issue - but where does the 3650 fit in your opinions

better than P800/7650 ?

Only advantage that the 3650 has over the p800 is the software platform.
Lots of more third party apps for Series 60 then for UIQ.
Over the 7650? Well...i'd say that its the memory.I wouldn't mind an MMC slot on the 7650 but i'm not very bothered by the 4 MB that the 7650 has integrated.
If you dont mind the 3650 looks and keyboard layout it is an excelent choice for you.
Like smiley said,it depends on what you need.

900 usd? Well i think that somewhere arround 800$ is more appropriate.
I dont know whether or not you should cancel your order.
That is up to you.
