Sony Ericsson P800 Reviewed (Again)

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the fones-with-the-most dept.

Big Mike writes "c|net just published their review of the Sony Ericsson P800. They deem it the 'Maserati of smart phones'. Built- in camera, speakerphone, 16MB Memory Stick Duo, Bluetooth and IR connectivity, wireless e-mail, MP3 audio and MPEG-4 video capable, and more. Sounds good to me..." Of course, it looks pretty slick too. Infosync looked at this phone last month, and more praise is heaped on this time around too.

    Spoke to the SE people this weekend at CEBIT:
    * Word, Excel or PPT editing is a "3rd party opportunity" (read - in the pipeline)
    * Same with video recording, which makes sense, given the MPEG4 licencing issues
    * Fax software also 3rd party, and within a few months, as well as several GPS mapping solutions.

    Also, there's a beta running around out there of new software for the P800 that addresses many of the sync/mail/addressbook issues (full SyncML compatibility) due in April.

    For anyone AT CeBIT with a P800, go directly to the service desk at the back and haev them flash your phone with the latest patches. They're doing 4 phones at a time, all day long, so it can take 20-30 minutes to upgrade but the camera performance is every bit as good as the Nokia now. MUCH better low-light quality and hardly any running (it IS CMOS, of course)
