MP3s as ringtones? This is not good news. My ears are already assaulted constantly by bad music - now I'll have to put up with listening to "Big Booty Hoes" whenever some trendy bastard's phone rings.

On the subway the other day I did a little monetary tally of what I carry around usually.. it adds up quick! Just between my iPod and my phone its almost $1k. I find I have to be extra-careful whenever putting my phone in my pocket, as just dropping the bloody thing would require a 2nd mortgage...
If I add anymore expensive devices, I'm not gonna need a fancy case for the phone, I'm gonna need a fancy case for me.
If Jesus wants me it knows where to find me.
I can buy it.
'Coming Soon' means I can not buy it.
Thank you.
See, I find MP3 support on a cell phone, or PDA, useless. Who wants to drain their battery down to listen to maybe (if they're lucky) a 4 minute MP3 on some tiny speaker? Not I. Having MP3 support is a novelty, its not practical.
You know, it comes with stereo headphones that also functions as handsfree. And if it works similar to the P800 you can listen to music on it for hours without draining the battery. Bottom line, it replaces your mp3 player as well as your PDA.
I was amazed that they included this image in the review. I realize that in technical circles it helps to pander to immature males but that seems to go quite a bit past the usual T and A.
Am I so out of touch that with how sexist the mainstream media has become that that image is acceptable?
This isn't the death of the phone, simply a new way of defining it. There was a time when a phone was simply the device to spoke into heard the response. Then they added the ability to dial your party directly. Eventually, we came to accept that this was a standard feature of telephones and part of the definition. Same with touch-tone and memory dial technologies. Now we're expanding the definition to include text messaging, date book functionality, and network access.
The phone won't die, just evolve.
i was responding to the previous comment who claimed it ran Windows CE. I *HAVE* a P800, and YES, Symbian is great. WinCE, however, blows goats.
you know what's truly amazing?
the number of people on the planet with such one dimensional thinking.....
it's truly disturbing.
You do realize, that apart from black and white, there are also an infinite number of shades of grey, and even colours!
In the real world "A" does not imply "!B"
you CAN have both.
