Sony Ericsson P800

I think this is a really good phone, given that is is also a PDA.

Battery Life is very good for a phone like this, calls are always clear, and the reception is also good.

I have had this phone a while, and would recommend it, if you can get one now.

Upgraded to the Sony Ericsson P800 from a Nokia 6100. Although this phone has been around for a while it is still very good. Most of the early glitches appear to have been sorted out by successive software modifications and my phone has only crashed once since I bought it.

The phone syncs effectively with outlook allowing me to keep my calendar and contacts on my phone at all times - which I have found to be one of the most useful functions on the phone.

Being able to surf the internet on the large screen is also a bonus - I can now use streetmap to find myself on the odd occasion I get lost!

As a phone it has good sound quality, but the reception fluctuates quite a bit - although still good it isn't as strong as the Nokia 6100.

All in all though a fantastic piece of gadgetry and I would thoroughly recommend it.

I love this Sony Ericsson P800 mobile phone I've owned it since April '03 and I'm still waiting for a better phone to come along (the P900 is not a justifiable upgrade to me) for me to spend my money on. Now its been out for over a year now the ammount of software available is very broad and improving all the time unlike when I first purchased it. The 'real' ringtones as those annoying adverts now advertise are awesome and free once you've learned how to plunder your own CD collection (up to £1.50 per tone!) if you wish to argue this point, vinyl to tape played on a ghetto blaster... mp3 player annoying youth in a cleo/saxo blasting out music...

To summarise the features available on this phone justify the price and your purchasing one. Any short falls should be taken with the point of view that this was the first and still one of the best implimentations of PDA/phone.

I got my Sony Ericsson P800 mobile phone in December and it stopped working in January. It took 5 weeks to be "repaired". They sent me a refurbished phone that has given me nothing but problems. The replacement phone has serious power problems and I routinely get strange error messages. It quit working last week. I contacted Sony Ericsson 5 days ago and have had no response from them. Wait until they get the bugs worked out before spending money on this lemon.

My new Sony Ericsson P800 has spent more time in transit and the service centre than it has with me:

1st time the mobile phone completely shuts down and would not switch back on, its taken to walthamstow service centre and it comes back some 7 days later with yet another fault.

That being the camera had a particle of fibre trapped on the inside over the camera lens that probably happened when the engineer accessed the mobile parts. Thus resulting in blurred pictures. By now I was losing faith in this particular unit, reluctantly I had to part with it again. Under the understanding that the phone would not be sent away and would be rectified at the service centre. This was all done through my telephone call to customer services, after a lot of debate with unkind customer services to whom I stressed the importance of being without the phone due to nearing time to leave UK for the visit abroad. I was assured the service centre, would be able to remove the particle obstructing the camera lens at the centre. As they had telephoned Walthamstow service centre and made the arrangements as per our telephone conversation.

2nd visit to the Walthamstow service centre as per arrangement, I am told it has to be sent back to the repairs contrary to as per arrangement. Reluctantly I had to yet again part with the phone, not knowing when or will I be able to take it abroad as the date of travel on the 12th March was nearing.

I receive the phone back in the nick of time, so I thought. This time on our journey to the airport, I discovered the phone actually came back worse than before. This time the Mic was damaged, although I could hear people they could not.

Since then it's completely packed up and sitting here collecting dust!

Only after 4 weeks, my Sony Ericsson P800 switched off and would not switch on again, it's been away 3 times for this fault totalling a period of 6 weeks.

I got my Sony Ericsson P800 mobile phone over xmas, ive read up on it and i thought i knew everything about it- wanted one for ages. I keep finding new things out about it the more i use it and its great! Even people with messy handwriting can type text messages with ease-its text recongition i find is excellent, Im a very arty person so i use the jotter a lot to draw skethes and send them to my mates via email or SMS-i think its a very handy and all-round fun mobile phone/best friend! (Ok, im not that sad!)

The feature rich Sony Ericsson P800 delivers with a vibrant 4,096 color display which puts it up there with the likes of the popular Nokia 9200 Communicator series and the Handspring Treo.

As a PDA, it's got everything one would need to function efficiently at home, away, or even in the office. Sony Ericsson upped the ante with the inclusion of new and exciting extras like the CommuniCam and excellent games such as Men In Black 2: Alien and Stunt Car Extreme.

I got this Sony Ericsson P800 mobile phone 7 months ago and sony ericsson had it for 4 of these months it was not working as soon as i got it, it switched on and off by its self and wasnt really all that fun it had no games and the internet took a lifetime to get working you also cant get uk sites on it until you download opera (takes AGES!!!!!) if this phone is for someone just for everyday use i would suggest a smaller and lighter handset! (BEWARE!!! IF YOU SEND ANY SONY ERICSSON TO SONYERICSSON DONT EXPECT TO GET IT BACK ANY TIME SOON)

The Sony Ericsson P800 definate buy if you need something to organise your life away from a pc and the functions are superb however the two i've had both crashed and a mystery to sony as they dont ever recolect having heard of this problem (funny my mates p800 did the same thing) Well worth the premium for this must have piece of equipment...
