What reviewers say

PowerPage and Mobilenet found the P800's interface responsive and valued its combination of phone and handheld-computer functions. Mobilenet liked the jog dial but found the keypad only moderately comfortable and the interface difficult to use without a stylus. PowerPage praised the speakerphone while criticising the missing T9 input, fragile stylus and expensive proprietary memory cards.
