yes it seams tensions are getting high and us gadget phreaks are losing patience with the constant delays - i for one am alot calmer now as the constant delay just make me laugh but what suggestions are there to pass the time till this phone is released!

lol - just a little light hearted twist to the p800 uk release saga!

i for one have managed to dowmload alot of software for the p800 prior to it even being released heck ive even installed the latest version of the p800 pc suite from the SE site! sad i know but anyone got any other suggestiosn to kill the time - hehe

Well,

what about starting a auction at ebay with 10 days for your old fone and then looking every minute for new bids 😉

I too have collected a reasonably good folder of p800 stuff...

Wanna share? 😊

Thankfully I am at work passing the time, so it's slightly easier (plus im earning the price of the phone whilst I post..)

lol same here! working 9-5 helps!

anothe idea get a new phone on contract and play with it to kill the time and then do a 14 day return 😉

well as for software i got :-

smsplus (sega mastersystem emulator and erm a few games)

Goboy - game boy emulator with some nice roms 2

emame - ( i just need to get pacman for it noe!)

opera web browser

and finally qfileman - that file manager prog

I'll play just with my P800 whilst you guys wait 😉 .....Sorry.

I just used my 7650, tryed to download software for P800....erm...what about MP4 movies?

BTW: The SMS emulator works great, but erm....how should I put it....I'm yet to find another game other than Paperboy that you can control with any ease. It's just not workable without a Joystick/pad of some type...so whilst you are waiting perhaps you could design and make one 😉

:evil: @jizzo

thats it im gonna get a 7650 and return it in 14 days :robot:

(im sure bluetooth control pads for the pc will be released soon enough 😉)

now thats not a bad idea...

Ive been looking into rejuvinating my barclaycard to buy it from fwd cellular then claim back the difference... as they aren't selling them I ain't gonna bother.

Maybe a 7650 to play with might not be a bad idea...

Hi all,

I think the bonus of having to wait for the official release of the P800 is being able to trawl through all the P800 forums and keep up to date with them so you know what issues people have been having and what software crashes the phone 😊

Looking a pictures and information about the P800 doesnt help matters though! Just makes me want it more!

ah well I disagree because I would be here looking at things anyway even if I had the phone... 😞

Instead I decided to pass the time by finding a picture of Dangermouse & Penfold for my Avatar 😊

You could always wonder over to My-Symbian.com and have a read of the "Anas" and "Swatfa" threads. Should keep you busy (and entertained) for a few hours.

read them already and find them all totally dull and pointless... who honestly cares (from a user point of view)..

The guy's obviously got nothing better to do, remove the software and kill the threads. Job done...

yeah ive read them threads too, its a shame they took presidence over the wicked REAL p800 related stuff thats usually on my-symbian.

lol well looks like the 7650 idea is gaining momentum and i guess it will makle us check the 7650 areas of this forum and look for goodies 8)

you could print off a picture of a P800 and stick it to the front of your old phone 😃 you will at least get use to the looks you get using a P800.

I gave up waiting ages ago and brought an import, I'm in love, you talk about your Mrs but I sent my P800 a Valentines pic of a bunch of red roses for its wallpapper for Valentines day.

You could download a Sega, C64 and Mame Emulator for the PC and try out the ROMs to see which ones you think you would like on your P800, the controls are hard but CasinoGames and ArcadeSmash are great and easy to control.

The other thing is you will have to decide what to install first and then what to remove. Because even with the limited amount of apps/games available there still is not enough space on the P800 for all of them until you get your hands on a memory stick.

i know zubair! im working away! back in a few days though! 8)

well does anyone play unlrea tournament ill go on as either oraneg or sony ericsson and we can see who can frag my ass 😃
