Sony Ericsson P800

The Sony Ericsson P800 is light enough and usable, but departs from the Palm OS and Pocket PC compatibility.

All things considered, the P800 is a tough sell against the Palm OSbased Samsung SPH-i500 and the Treo 600. The phone, camera, and audio player work well. But compared with the Treo 600, the P800's lack of a real keyboard is a drawback. The P800 is...

Sony Ericsson p800

A phone-PDA hybrid that has attracted a loyal following of users and Java application developers, and runs a version of the Symbian OS using a stylus for input. No other wireless device can compare to the Sony-Ericsson P800 in one respect: those who...

theVooner.com Review - Sony Ericsson P800 Mobile Phone Review

Convergent technology Phone/PDA

I probably haven't touched on all the functionality and ability of the P800. At the end of the day, it's a mobile phone with some PDA functions. I think it's much better than some of the other models out there which are PDAs with some phone functions...

Sony Ericsson P800 Review

Sony Ericsson's new P800 might very well be the most advanced triband smartphone in the industry. It's the first attempt of Sony Ericsson to break into the phone/PDA combo, and the first Symbian OS v7.0 handset available. It's aimed at the high end...

Weighing everything we've considered thus far, we think the Pros considerably outweigh the Cons. Obviously, Sony Ericsson have got something good on their hands. While maybe bugs or small issues could be revealed in the future, the P800 has the...

Sony Ericsson P800 review

The P800 has a steep price and a design that won't appeal to everyone, but it's a sure-fire attention grabber Sony Ericsson cell phone.

Sony Ericsson P800 smartphone

With the mobile phone and PDA divisions coming closer together everyday, the P800 is one such device that tries to bridge the gap. Phone by day, organiser by night, the end results are mixed.

Bluetooth; replacement styli; interesting hybrid

Too big; stupid camera and memory slot placement

It is a shame therefore that this phone is marred by such silly problems that could have been fixed at the design stage. Hopefully newer models will feature all the good things mentioned here and drop the bad. At the heart of it, you've got a very good...

Sony Ericsson - P800

Cast your mind back a year or two and you may recall that there was a time when telephones were used to make telephone calls. These days we expect far, far more from a phone than ...

This is a bulky phone that is too large for most pockets, but the feature list more than makes up for the size and weight. The single most important point is that the P800 works correctly, unlike the rival Orange SPV that has just been updated to fix a...

Sony Ericsson P800

So what's the verdict? At the end of the day, the P800 indeed has much to offer its user - probably more than one would ever need to use. But this has always been the case for Sony Ericsson products - include it for your choosing.
