Deciding between P800 and 7650

If you don't intend in spending so much, get the 7650. After 1 year when your contract expires, get a full blown 3G phone which will be way more exciting than the P800...

If you have the money then get the 7650 now and the P800 later...

If you are planning on developing then get the 7650 as there will be a hell of a lot more people using it, therefore wide audience. There won't be much people using the P800... coz it's not a Nokia and kids don't like non-Nokias...

If you're fashion conscience then get the P800, not enough money then 7650.

As for functionality - P800 wins, for fun - 7650 wins. You won't be losing much with the 7650, just the touch screen.

And the fact that the 7650 is a Smartphone and the P800 is a PDA.

Ignoring the phone bit, the P800 and the 7650 are miles apart.

Like SwichBlade says, I wouldn't call a 7650 a PDA, nor is it promoted in that way by Nokia.

The P800 on the otherhand has the same kind of capabilities as Palms/PocketPCs.

Nokia 7650 as imperfect and incomparable to P800 as it might be, is a REAL phone, available today. Perfect or not.

P800 is a hollow ghost, fabrication of child's colourful imagination, a piggyride for the coy masses.


I'm actually very disappointed with SE.

>I'm actually very disappointed with SE. <

Yup you and everyone else - I don't think many people will be holding their breath for the release of the next flagship phone from SE. Once bitten, twice shy and all that.

I have offered my litle (and light) Sony-Z5 to my wife and got back to carriyng my backup mobile N7110 as a training exercice to the upcoming P800 (to get reaquainted to the feeling of carriyng a +140gr phone)... litle did I imagined that SE would prolongue this exercice of mine for 4 months longer than I anticipated :(
The N7650 with its lack of memory expansion definetly does not meet my idea of a smartphone and, because I promised to myself that I would not buy any more gadgets without BUILT-IN-Bluetooth (sick of incompatible Flash card formats, expansion sockets, cables, IR-protocols, etc) the O2-GPRS phone is also out as an option.
I will wait for the P800 BUT... ...if, after all the waiting that SE imposes on us the device is released with ANY significant bug than I will reject SE as a brand altogether for many years to come.

Might have been that SE will lose momentum with this delay. All the PDA makers are frantically working on their GSM-able products while GSM makers are trying to add some PDA functions to their phones.

P800 seedem like a perfect link. Maybe it won't be too little but it could definitely be too late. P800 should be in mass production now to get it's market share. Otherwise it will only be one of the many. Pitty. Add to that the psichological effect of announcing delay of delivery of a so much awaited product and it could be as good as dead.

The latest edition of PC Pro magazine (UK) gives it a pretty decent preview - certainly considering how much they praised the N7650 which has now all but been dumped by PC Pro in favour of the P800.

Of course, we all know how good the device is *supposed* to be - proof of the pudding is in the eating though....

I have given up on the p800 and brought a 6310i and a fugitsu loox. I reckon this phone is going to be a whole heap of trouble for SE and anyone who buys it. It quit obviously doesn't work properly and that's why theyve delayed its release.

[Zuber]

I'm actually considering a similar solution.

I've got a 6310i and I'm looking at getting a P800 as a single replacement or new Palm OS5 device (with bluetooth). I'll have to see what reaches the market first and then decide.

I don't think it is fair to assume that the P800 will be buggy etc. The ones giving problems were prototypes with beta software. Some people claim to have used later prototypes and found them to be reliable.

So assuming that SonyEricsson are delaying the P800 to make sure they do not have software problems at the start, I think there is a reasonably good chance of the P800 being released in a quite stable form.

Yes, I agree (but have my hat at the ready, to be eaten if necessary).

I've been reading PC Pro mag since issue 1, and have always found their reviews very reliable and also cautious in their praise. If the device was badly strewn with bugs, they'd have said - but the pre-release version, they say, is enough evidence that the phone *will* stomp all over the N7650.

I suppose it's just a waiting game...it'd be nice if it came out for Xmas though, wouldn't it?

Will

Yeah it would be nice if we saw a pre-xmas release date, but in the words of a great man:

"A delayed product is only delayed until it is released. A rushed product is rushed forever."

- Shiguru Miyamoto

Basically I'd rather they went for a full out launch in January with a completely stable OS and goodies, than rush it out in the next couple of weeks and it being a complete disappointment.

umm.. actually it's Shigeru Miyamoto

and maybe that quote not valid for SE products "Only for Nintendo"

:roll:

I think p800 will be great when it realese.
