Hi there.
I'm looking to buy a P800, but I have a few queries (and yes, I have searched the forums!)

Can you use the bluetooth link to use disk space on a separate device? For example, I regularly travel with my laptop - could I put a bluetooth adapter on the laptop, and then use it's 40G of disk space from the P800? If I could, it would rather increase the number of mp3s I could listen to 😊

This also would be handy for the upcoming bluetooth hard drive devices... have a look at http://www.dynamism.com/hopbit/index.shtml

Also, is there any likelihood that there will one day be bluetooth mp3 handsfree that uses the p800 mp3 player? All the ones mentioned in posts here have their *own* storage, and their *own* mp3 decoder, which seems rather redundant. Or is it that bluetooth bandwidth isn't enough to transfer the music uncompressed to the headset?

Any advice/information would be good. I'm probably buying the p800 anyway, but these features would be very nice to have...

Sure you can, am notsure of the programs' name but it lets you access your desktop/laptop via ur P800.

Just one thing man, dont think of it as buyin a Phone with PDA properties/attributes. It is like buyin a PDA with Phone attributes.

You see what am sayin ? its more of a PDA than a phone, opposite of he Nokia 3650.

But if you need both 2 in 1.then definitely get the P800
