Sony Ericsson P800 Reviewed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the get-your-lust-on dept.

Does it live up to the hype? According to the story, the answer is yes." I've been lusting after the t68i for awhile, but maybe I'll wait for this one. It just looks so cool!

    Of course you can - all you need to do is get a GPRS connection on your phone, and enable your Linux web server via a WASP (wireless application service provider), then exchange your data over MMS. It's so simple that dozens, even hundred of people will do this by 2004!
    Or, you could just use a serial cable.

    Quote from the description:
    Just in case the camera isn't entertainment enough, the P800 comes fully equipped with games, a video clip viewer and enough customizable features to keep you happy for weeks

    Wow, I can be entertained for weeks! And for only $650 US. What a bargain.

    I figured if I was going to put up with a device with a screen the size of a postage stamp, I'd go with a t68i, which will at least fit easily in my pocket, and have a separate handheld computer linked via Bluetooth.

    I already do this. I've looked at PDA phones for a while but I've never really been taken with them. I've used various Palm devices to make SSH connection to servers using phones over the past few years. I used to use IR but with bluetooth this is even simpler.

    The only neat PDA/phone is still the Nokia 9210i. I mean Doom and you can use a serial cable to connect to switches/servers, what more could a geek want?

    You may think me a tired, old, cynic. I'd have to disagree about the tired bit.

    Track your cell phone in real time?? I hope your not the cheating kind...although most slashdotters probably have enough trouble getting one girlfriend.
