That, indeed is something they missed.....

Someone mentioned here that posting about this PDA/Phone is a PPC forum was wrong, which is ture... but i understand why did this happen, COZ THIS IS A DAMN GOOD DEVICE... GIVE IT SOME RESPECT... it can be EASILY compatative with PPC Phones....

[kiwi]

yeah, my old P900 was way more reliable than my MPX200.. and the battery lasted more than one day with normal use.

[dMores]

yeah, batterylife is great.

i get 4 days with infrequent calls and about 30 minutes of ebook reading, and 3 days when i read a lot.
like 3-4 hours.

my ppc was dead after 4 hours of constant use.

starstreak ... the px00 series is designed to be a phone first, then PDA. that's why they put the flip on the device, so you can use it like a normal candybar phone.

there have been pictures of PPCPEs with a keypad-flip. was it by eten? i dunno. but they obviously never really caught on

It was by ASUS, which i have NO idea where have it gone... :?

I love my p800 (I had an r380 before that) and I thought the form factor of the p900/p910 was a step up but I am not so sure about this one. What I liked about the px00, and the r380 for that matter, was that the keypad/keyboard flipped out of the way (or, in the case of the px00, could be removed) to give you maximum screen real estate.

Regardless of the increased resolution of the screen, to some, size does mater.

Though I do not think that it is fair to say that this will be competition for the HTC Universal, I for one would prefer the SE p990.

Welcome Capnus. Good to have you posting with us.

I was pretty much quoting fromthe article. Here it is in full:

Multi tasking – being able to browse the Internet, send and receive files at the same time as talking – is now possible due to the enhanced capabilities of the new software platform.

Not owning a P800, I simply reiterated what the article said......

Now, if you were fair, you would see that I was being fair (as far as I was aware). ;-)

Nah. There is still a lot of 'standards' thinning out to do. Once the inferior proprietary formats die, then everyone can concentrate on growing the market with larger format, cheaper, 'universal' cards, such as SD. Grow the pie and everyone benefits, instead of living in an incompatible expensive small memory card world.

Hey, it's a Thought....

I want this device over many WM phones on the market because of a combination of a few very simple things:

1) Size. The P-series are actually quite small in your hand. The Universal is just way too big for my taste.

2) Phone functions. As someone already said, SE makes sure that their product is phone first, PDA second. That means the signal quality is great, as is voice quality, and just general phone functionality.

3) Camera. This one is personal preference. I would like to have a good camera that I can use to take pictures of documents, slides, etc. -- it's quite handy for a student.

4) WiFi. Not many WM phones are WiFi-enabled but is still small. This one is.

5) 260K screen. Couldn't find it anywhere, but I'm pretty sure this is a 260K color screen, based on the fact that the P910 was also 260K.


I think this is a well executed product. However, I don't think it will sell well because SE has never been much of a product-pusher in the Americas....

By the time this one really hits the market there are some fierce competitors: The HTC universal, the HTC wizard and the Quanta Athena.

According to the specification, it has.

But they are huge in Asia and Europe, 2nd only to Nokia with their throw-away phones everyone gets for free....
