This might seem like a pretty common list for a supposedly powerful phone
but we're just scratching the surface here. Also, many of the commonly used
applications such as messages, contacts, call list, and calendar can be
quickly accessed though the shortcut buttons shown on the phone's main screen.
The P800 uses a Symbian operating system, version 7.0. However the phone
itself uses its own menu structure, icons and other additions.
The P800 operates in one of two modes: the phone mode (Flip Closed) and
a full-screen mode (Flip Open). When the flip is closed, users only see
the date, time, signal level, battery level, and the most used application.
This is the meat of the phone. Anything you can do with the phone, you'll
be able to do from the applications menu. (Both flip closed and flip open).
Useful and interesting functions in this basic view include the CommuniCam
application which actually uses the screen as the viewfinder for the camera.
Of course there's the standard mobile phone fare (Contacts, Phonebook, Time,
Calendar, etc.) which has been P800-ized and enhanced to be on par with
all the other new features Sony Ericsson added.
The options available under the flip closed mode are all available under
the flip open mode with additional selections provided. We'll go more in
depth with what this phone has to offer later in the review.
