I have a P800 with T-mobile in the US. They don't officially support the phone, but then again I don't care. I just want the service. The phone is GSM/GPRS, so all T-Mobile does is activate the service. I took the SIM card out of the free phone they gave me, plopped it into the P800 and it works like a charm.
I've been impressed with T-Mobile's coverage, compared to Nextel which was my previous provider.
It sync's to my work laptop and lotus notes, and also to my home Mac's without a problem. Bluetooth is fantastic too. I have a wireless headset that alone is worth the price of the phone. I love doing conference calls with both hands free.
Battery life is phenominal. Sony rates it as 13 hour of TALK time. I've used it heavily and only gotten it down to half a charge with a full day's use. My Nextel phone would give up the ghost after just one, two hour conference call.
The P900 looks nice and some nifty features, but I'm not going to buy it for mostly cosmetic features like theme support. Although if anything happens to my P800, I'd buy a P900 without a second thought.
