Advantages: Personal organiser, "Proper" internet browsing, In built camera

Disadvantages: The camera lense is not protected, No changeable covers, Gives the competitors a headache :)

Hello again, sadly...my T300 has been demoted...welcome in to my life the S-E P800...
***Takes big breath*** WOW...phone..ok...MP3 player...from head phones or built in speaker...interesting...Built in camera...been done...Personal organiser...very useful...multimedia messenging...email...can read WORD,EXCEL and POWERPOINT attachments....GULP....surf WAP...so what??? SURF GRAPHICALLY ENHANCED INTERNET....OH MY GOSH... Seriously folks, this is a tremendous tool, it is easy to navigate...I can even read HOTMAIL using the inbuilt browser...but if you do get a chance...download the "OPERA" browser for the P800...it formats the internet to the screen width...very clever....screen is colour...and brilliant handwriting recognition with it..similar to my SONY clie....I have only had it for a week...and I have been on it for hours...there are some games included in the package...which are quite impressive if you like that kind of thing...but the interlinked organiser, to do list, calender are very impressive...there is even a voice note facility on this...as well as a free little memory stick for extra storage....a stylus attached to the phone...plus 3 spare....I have noted elsewhere that people find it hard to use compare to PDA stylus' but...the point they get at is that this stylus is plastic and shaped to fit on the phone's side....unlike a part plastic and part metal stylus of a conventional PDA..I really do not see the problem...it is very easy to use..the navigation around the phone is very similar to a WINDOWS therefore very easy to adapt to...oh..it has video streaming facilty too!!Camera quality is very good considering it is a phone camera...The phone is slightly heavier than conventional mobiles...and wider to...but you would forgive this....for all it can do for you....Open the "Jotter" and write or doodle something...in colour as well as black and white...the styling even reminds me of Audi TT interior which for me...is no bad th
ing....Although it is around £499 sim free.......a PDA is at least £99, a MP3 player again is about the same...a camera phone....is at least £200 and the ability to browse the "proper" internet....it is about £80 for AMSTRAD emailer plus....I think the sums do add up...even though the initial outlay is hard to swallow....it is worth saving up :)
