Any idea P800/P802 launching in Asia

[hianhwee]

Hi, any news on this new set launching in Asia, particularly in Spore?

I need one.....

*heh*

Didn't expect to see you here too. Last heard was that the P800 will be out 3rd week Jan. At least that's what the Ericsson Service Centre people said last week.

Not crossing my fingers for this one. No T9? And MS Duo cards only come in 16 MB? *bah*

kekeke, 3rd week Jan? Okie Dokie. Well, I do agree no T9 is a hinderance to me since I prefer thumb power vs stylus pen. Will wait for local early adopters to review first! :P

Be aware that SE claims the P800 only supports up to 128MB.

the P800 is already out in the Philippines!! for about 39'000 Pesos !! just heard that.

There have been quite a few sightings of the P800 in Singapore already. I've been tempted to actually buy one of these, but held back for fear of lack of support.

Well, there's only 1 week more to wait...

[brick]

There might be a longer wait if it's the P802 you want. I don't know if the P800 can be upgraded to a P802 through firmware, but if it's not a simultaneous release, then I'll be suffering still in a week's time. ~sigh

Major differences may be:
1. Chinese input
2. English-Chinese/ Chinese-English dictionary
3. Chinese lunar calendar

The OS can be set to chinese too. But all these come at a premium. The 802 has a 9MB usable RAM compared to the 12MB on the 800.

Has anyone gotten the pre-production sets floating around in Lucky Plaza basement? I always feel the magnetic pull on my wallet when I 'accidentally' pass by the area.

Expansys have some P800 imports on order. Due in 5 days according to their site. Had to pick myself up off the floor when I saw the prices though. £890 for handset, £655 on o2 contract. I plan to get a p800 on an Orange contract (eventually) but hope it's a hell of a lot less than £655. I was hoping for an initial price of something like £200/£250. If they do come out at that price, then it's a lot to pay just to get the latest technology a few weeks earlier.

P-800 has been officially launched in Jakarta since December 24, 2002. Currently you can get one for Rp. 6.500.000 (roughly USD. 730) at any retail stores.
