Re: Nice

sure, I think I'll duck out of the market for a year and watch, just after I finish packing all this gear for ebay!

Sounds like the best thing about the P800 is that it will help drop the price of the old T68i as the early adopters rush toward the new "must have" phone.

I've been very happy with my not-so-feature-filled T68i. I don't use GPRS because the charges are unbearable, but the standard data access only costs minutes from your plan, and that's plenty fast for the tiny browser.

I have an email account just for the phone, and T-Mobile polls it every 3 minutes or so. If there's a new message, I get it within 3 minutes, which is fast enough for me.

And so far I have had zero problems with bluetooth and my wi-fi network. I can keep a connection with the phone from about 30 feet away. I'm able to sync my simple calendar and address book both ways, and see a popup on my laptop when the phone rings (and just push it to voicemail or type an SMS in response). Then again, I'm not using a PeeCee, so maybe having a good 10" between the USB port where the bluetooth adapter goes and the 802.11b antenna is an advantage here.

And the T68i is small.

Actually the SE T610 has helped the T68i price drop as it is the replacement for the T68i, we should see the T616 in the NA. I might actually end up getting one, well after that new PowerBook 15.4" is released.
