Hello together,

I have talked with MpTelecom, and they told that they will get the device January or Ferbruary and it IS possible to take the software from the P900 and flash it to the P800. They'll do it, when they get the device.

So there is no need to buy a P900. One thing is very different the Display it has more colors then the P800 , but I can live with 4096 Colors. It is enough

Bye 4 now

Haha, I am sure it will.

I will start!
I really don't see how a firmware designed to work with 65000k could possibly work with 4096 colors, since it's a completely different addressing system! (16 bit as opposed to 12bit)

Colour depth shouldn't be a massive issue.

The Sony Clié implementation of PalmOS had the option of using from 2 to 65k colours on the same device.

But flashing a P800? I'll believe it when I see it.

Does anyone know for fact that the P800 addressing system is 12bit?? I thought it was just an assumption based on the current TFT in the P800. I remember the old Atari Lynx had a 4096 colour screen, but it had a 16bit processor!

MpTelecom is a Partner of SonyEricsson. They were the first shop in Germany, who got the P800. They said on the phone, that there is no difference bitween the P800 and P900, just the Display, the hardware is the same.

We talked about the BluetoothCar and the new Flashlight. The Bluetooth car is very small, like the half of our P800. And it has not so much power, you can driver for 5 minutes not more. The Flashlight is compatible with P800, you have to turn it on, and then take a photo.

Addressing system is not 12 bit. The screen will only accept 12 bit since the screen is 4096 colors. If that's the case, there will be trouble when firmware starts trying to feed 16bit colors into 12bit variables
