Can't you get the p900, fixes a few of the problems with the p800 and some good new features.

dunefield · 05-18-2004, 06:49 AM

i prefer the sony... that other one looks way too huge...

kmanrox · 05-18-2004, 06:49 AM

i own a p800 (buying a p900 next week tho) and it is balls to the walls bad ass.. all the techies i know and owners of mobile content companies here in thailand use the P-series as well..

we tested all the PDA-phones and find they look and feel like big fucking paddles when you put them up to your ear..

Validus · 05-18-2004, 06:50 AM

A friend of mine has the Sony one and is happy with it. I would get the MDA2 from T-Mobile.

johnbosh · 05-18-2004, 06:51 AM

the sony looks nicer

spamofon · 05-18-2004, 06:53 AM

i guess it is obvious that p900 is the way to go:D

DR_PHIL · 05-18-2004, 07:08 AM

wow didnt know it had all those features

Project-Shadow · 05-18-2004, 07:42 AM

Motorola A920/A925

I've got the a920 unlocked [so it functions as an a925]
Haven't had any problems with it and 3g is definately the way to go... although 4g looks sweeeeeeet.

i owe a P800 and it's great. and certainly the P900 will be my next choice!

born · 05-18-2004, 07:55 AM

I have the treo...... I like it a lot but probably go with the Sony if I was going to buy it again...

The keys are a bit hard to type with my fat fingers but it is a great phone/and palm.

EviLGuY · 05-18-2004, 08:08 AM

Yeah the new Sony phones are nice.

Trippekdick · 05-18-2004, 08:13 AM

Treo 600 i think

Manowar · 05-18-2004, 08:15 AM

the sony for sure

JamesK · 05-18-2004, 08:22 AM

Sony.

petepete · 05-18-2004, 08:49 AM

tahiti · 05-18-2004, 08:59 AM

I have a P900 it's the best, plus it supports memory stick. I can put/shoot up to 45 minutes of video. It records directly in mpeg format which is great.

We have a couple of A920s, Nokia 9210i and a few others. I like the A920. I have looked at the P900 I think I may get one ?

Firehorse · 05-18-2004, 09:04 AM

The P900 for sure!

Basic_man · 05-18-2004, 09:07 AM

Sony!

TheHitman · 05-18-2004, 09:40 AM

p900 is pricey and really cool -- the p800 is pretty much the same phone like $300 cheaper
