I saw SE the V800 in person!

[marwan]

dunno if any of you guys know this, but the SE V800 is out. I'm on holiday here in paris, and stopped by F SFR showroom to check ot what they had. To my surprise the SE V800 was on display and being sold. I must say i love the inside of the phone when it's open, the buttons, screen and finish is great, but the outside shell is just plain ugly, ofcourse that doesnt make it a bad phone in any way. I think the price was 450 euros with contract(can't remember). btw the V800 is smaller and thinner than the ugly Z1010.

now, isnt the phone a Vodafone exclusive? how did it end up at F SFR? cuz the V800 had the Vodafone logo on it. Is Vodafone F SFR in paris under a different name?


also, i was surprised to see the Motorola E1000, didnt know it was out since i dont see much about it on the net(let alone reviews), the phone looked great, it's a dual cam 3G phone, the design is very professional looking. it also sports a 262k screen. btw, all the phones were inside glass casing, so i didnt get the chance to try them out.

anyone knows how good Motorola menus are? any idea if the E1000 is a good phone? also, when is the unbranded V800 coming out, and last, can all phones be unlocked, and how?


thanks!


EDIT: is the V800 1.3MP the same as the one in the S700?

sweet, got any links to some reputable reviews?


btw, i did notice it had a smaller screen than the S700. is it a 176x220 screen or 240x320? also, are the menus fast or is it the usuall slow SE menus?


SE needs to get of thier asses and release a series 60 symbian mobile phone.

[commedecargons]

i think it's only a 176x220 screen

[Box215]

yeah, SFR is basically Vodafone in France. They have Vodafone live! and the works.

[marwan]

i think it's only a 176x220 screen


but it's a 262k screen, it cant be 176x220


*going to check*




Box215, thanks for clearing things out.

[commedecargons]

wat do ya mean a 262k screen couldn't be a 176x220 ?? The 262k is color depth, the 176x220 is screen resolution. ....

[shaheen]

colours != resolution

!= = not equal to

[commedecargons]

i fail my maths...... so wtf is that?
ur agreeing wit me or ain't? :confused:

[shaheen]

well im just saying, colour dept isnt the same as resolution so they have no relationship so 262k colours can be 176x220

[arn]

yes colour is different from screen resolution

[commedecargons]

hehehe~~ i'm always right~ :D

[stars]

v800 is temporal europe exclusive to vodafone and its affliated companies ...

once that temporal launch period over !!! its COMING TO THE REST OF THE WORLD :D :D :D ( the world part : we hope )

[commedecargons]

But it'll be damn expensive right? hope dat SE will bring it to Malaysia even though M'sia doesn't have 3G networks yet..... the Z1010 didn't came, but the 7600 did (but never saw anyone taking it) :D

sorry, i always thought that 262k screen had a screen res of 320x240. my bad, the V800 is 176x220.

[commedecargons]

P910's screen res is 208x320 thou....... hehe and some VGA screens 640x480 were 65k units....

dun worry brutha ! z1010 launching in SG soon ... apparently now we are seeing "black" / "water" / parallel imported handsets in the local market soon ... hopefully z800 will come when singapore launches its 3g networks ... will defintely head out to get one if its cheap

[commedecargons]

it wouldn't be cheap i guess...... there are some "Water" units that made their way to Malaysia, costs RM2999 !! imagine a V800.... oh my~~~~ :eek:

VGA screens in what devices?

[arn]

VGA screens in what devices?

pda i think. not handphone.

[commedecargons]

PDAs...... it'll be more or less same like a small sharp cellphone with a QVGA screen...... :)

[Box215]

Really, i didnt know there were and PDAs that had VGA resolution. But i guess its no big thing if it looks like a QVGA screen in a cell phone.

[Box215]

Then again i dont really follow PDAs, lol

[commedecargons]

but they do look extremely good ya know?! the Toshiba E800, Asus MyPal P730 and Hp's 4700 series spots VGA screens. But i guess Hp's and Toshiba's were better.... :)
