Cellular Phone Forum / Manufacturers / Ericsson / February 2004unhappy p900 user
I just brought a p900 thinking it would be great.. but its been very disappointing:- 1. Straight away you're needing to purchase a higher capacity MemoryStick because you can't do much with the one that comes with it.. Can't download more than a couple of the applications.. Memory errors even when there are 5 MB free... 2. The Car Rally game, the RemotePC etc software that comes with it.. and features I thought I was getting are in fact all "demos" which you need to spend more money to get the real thing. 3. Because of a competitive Teleco "war" I can't use the email feature to check my email at the "other" telecos POP server. (This is not a problem with the phone.. but again its something Marketing don't warn you about when you purchase a phone to check your email then find its not actually possible unless you change your email accounts to a different company). So the main reason why I purchased the phone.. I can't use it for. As usual the "promise" or "Hype" is far more than the reality. > 1.

Depends on the application of the phone, not all users would need to get bigger memory stick unless they use memory intensive applications such as loading more programs on and loading music on to in large amounts.. > 2.

This is Sony Ericssons fault how? these programs are developed by 3rd partys for the symbian OS, thats like buying a Computer and expecting them to give you all the software for free > 3.

I have no issue using my providers gprs to check any email account, set the device to dial in to your dialup isp provider and use that to check email, its not the devices fault your carrier dosnt support true internet access to allow any pop3 to work. > This is Sony Ericssons fault how? these programs are developed by 3rd partys > for the symbian OS, thats like > buying a Computer and expecting them to give you all the software for free I disagree, bit more like Microsoft bunging a good game with windows and hyping it up showing pictures of the game in promotional shots only for you to buy the OS and find you have to *buy* the game. Disappointing but still warez is your friend. > I just brought a p900 thinking it would be great.. but its > been very disappointing:- Send it to me, I'll be *very* impressed by it :-) I believe if you went to the SonyEricsson site and viewed the P900 it states that the applications are indeed demos. It also clearly states the size of the memory stick duo that comes with the phone. If the phone did not meet you're specs why did you purchase it? > I just brought a p900 thinking it would be great.. but its > been very disappointing:- [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > As usual the "promise" or "Hype" is far more than the reality. > I just brought a p900 thinking it would be great.. but its > been very disappointing:- [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > As usual the "promise" or "Hype" is far more than the reality. Well IMHO I think it's a great phone, it has a big screen, it's touchscreen, has Bluetooth, etc sorry to hear you don't get on with it : ( > Well IMHO I think it's a great phone, it has a big screen, it's > touchscreen, has Bluetooth, etc sorry to hear you don't get on with > it : ( I love mine too, one of the best bits of electronic brilliance I've ever bought... yes....I know I was griping.. **it is a great phone** and I'm going to continue using it!!!!.. but that still doesn't mean I'm not a little disappointed by some aspects of it.. and I was just pointing out to other propsective purchasers a couple of possible misunderstandings because I did research the phone.. but it didn't occur to me I was going to have those problems.. New Gripe..Last couple of days the software has crashed at least 3 times while playing with it..... had to take out battery to restart. Screen just goes blank and can't do anything with it...... > > Well IMHO I think it's a great phone, it has a big screen, it's > > touchscreen, has Bluetooth, etc sorry to hear you don't get on with > > it : ( > > I love mine too, one of the best bits of electronic brilliance I've ever > bought...

Or consider which additional programs that you may have installed yourself may be causing a conflict of some kind? Every now and then I format my phone and install my key apps from scratch to make sure the phone is "clean" of any junk that may have been left behind from various apps that I may have tried but not kept.
