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.

    i just got one and there are some quite good features. the best are Opera which can make pretty much any web page readable, next there is putty for ssh, and also there is a dev kit and no problem running your apps. battery life is not so good if you have the backlight on a lot.

    but posting to slashdot while sitting on the toilet or googling from the bus (over GPRS) are good features...

    Nokia 9210:
    +Word & Excel Document Editing
    +Fax capable
    +Memory Cards available upto 256Mb and beyond
    -Size
    -Slow, can't run mp3's properly
    -Limited Memory to run apps in
    -No GPRS support
    -No Bluetooth

    P800:
    +Size vs. functional display size
    +Touchscreen & excellent HWR (even reads my scrawl!)
    +Opera with Small Screen Rendering (This is FANTASTIC!)
    +Excellent inbuilt speaker, mp3's sound good
    +FAST!
    +Better video support (mp4)
    +GPRS
    +Bluetooth
    -No Word or Excel editing - can only view (and then some fonts are not supported)
    -No fax!
    -Sony (gosh-darn-em) Memory Stick DUO... currently only 64Mb sticks (128mb soon it seems) but EXPENSIVE! Plus specs states 256Mb MAX!
    -Sync with Outlook misses a lot of features (anniversaries and birthdays not supported!)
