Hi,

Does anyone own a Sony Ericsson P900.
I need an honest review on this one as I am about to buy one (kinda $$$)

I really need an organizer but also a phone and I don’t want to carry too much stuff with me all the time so I decided to just get one gadget with both functionalities.

Thanks

Well I’m more than happy with my P900.  I’ve had it since christmas and can’t imagine going back to my T610 now.
Although I don’t really use the calendar function at the moment I have played and I get everything to sync with Outlook (contacts, emails, calendar etc) really easily.

I also use it as an ebook reader and an MP3 player which is great as it means you’re never without something to do (especially when it takes 40mins on the bus to uni everyday)  I laugh at my housemate when he complains his book is so heavy and I just whip out my phone

When I bought the P900 I almost got an ipod instead but like you decided that by the time you’ve got an ipod, phone, camera and wallet to carry around it just gets too much.  While the camera isn’t that great, it’s fine for just fun pics everyonce in a while!!

I’ve even found a program which will re-encode divxs for viewing on the P900.  While it can be a little jerky it’s another way to pass the time.  Many lunch break has been filled watching dragonball Z!!

My one piece of advice would be that if you plan on using it as an MP3 player or for watching videos you really need a 128MB Duo.  It can seem a hastle to only have a few albums on you but by using a usb 2 card reader you can transfers new stuff in minutes so it’s not that bad.

Any other questions just ask away (but buy one anyways 8) )

Thanks Mighty Matt ... great comments.

More questions:
- What app are you using to read ebooks (all pdf formats?)
- Can you use 3rd party apps?
- What came with the box?

Thanks

My P900 is great & works well with my TR. Exellent site for info on SE phones then have a look at the P800/P900 forum on http://www.esato.com which will answer any question you could have.

Using P900 with thirdparty app Handy Day2004 makes for a pretty good PDA (but not as complete as a PocketPC).

I use an app called mobipocket reader on Eric (original I know, but I didn’t name him :| ) and to create the files for it I convert text files using mobipocket publisher.
My mate who has a P800 (called Erica…. guess who named mine!) has a program for reading PDFs and I’m pretty sure you can get ones for reading (and possibly editing) Microsoft Office documents.

I haven’t tried that many different apps but there are loads of them written for the UIQ platform but most of them seem to cost…

In the box you get phone(!), charger, cradle with usb cable, cds with software, screwdriver, spare screws and base plate for taking off keypad, battery, 32MB duo, duo/MS adaptor and a carry case that I’ve never taken out the plastic bag!
I think that’s everything but that’s off the top of my head so I might have missed something…
