If it goes on, soon to mobile phones will incorporate microwave ovens and refrigerators, not to die of hunger somewhere in the stone jungle ... However, before large-size equipment deal is unlikely to reach. But in a phone vengeance embed voice recorders, handheld computers and digital cameras. That's the biggest player in mobile telephony, unified Japanese-Swedish company, Sony Ericsson, 5 March 2002 presented the public concerned the fresh, piping hot, smartphone P800. To avoid confusion in terminology, we recall: communicator - this is when the device is more computer than phone, smartphone, on the contrary - more phone than a PC. But then doubts arise - what is the P800 (although the manufacturer is positioning it as an smartphone)? There is also a digital camera ... Yes, this is a difficult thing - to understand the techniques of modern mobile phone itself ... in order to "try it for a tooth" is not yet available - too fresh prime minister. Not otshumeli ovation, not dry champagne, but we can not wait to try povertet in your hands, flip through the Shutter (or whatever instead). But "like" and "may" - bad things are compatible. We can do until the official press releases and stories of eyewitnesses. First of all, let's say that the P800 works in a standard GSM / GPRS (900/1800/1900 MHz) and, hence, this model can in principle be relevant for the Russian market, especially in connection with putting into operation a number of major Russian mobile operators, high-speed networks GPRS. It is reported that the model is aimed at European users. On Russia, apparently, talking - an individual. How does he look like? Like a good phone, though, like, not too small. If the stylus in this kind of thing is not the size of a match, then, judging by the picture in the press release, one might say - dimensions brainchild of Sony Ericsson is not inferior (if not surpass) the class size handhelds Palm Size. Draws attention to a rather large length device. In the upper part where the speaker is installed (by svyazistskoy terminology - telephone), and at the bottom - where the microphone is installed, scanned the massive plastic "tides". Perhaps this is the P800 does not fit in any pocket ...

But - the camera now! And not just a camera. There's also a built-in adapter is now fashionable (and awfully attractive to many languishing in bondage electric wires of computer users) to the standard Bluetooth. A wonderful thing, because the relationship of high-frequency radio channel on the order of more stable than the infrared, has a larger (about 100 m to 1 m) range and is not subject to any interference (infrared link can bring down even the stray ray of sun, accidentally looked into the twilight office) . Incidentally, the pen (or stylus) at the Smartphone strikingly resembles something. (Personally, I - sausage). Perhaps this new design finds the Swedes, who had produced all of some angular and rectangular, and now took up plump and rounded. Who knows ... Anyway, the beneficial effect of Sony evident. Oh, the Japanese have with their lovely phones in parts of the design is all right. Have gone further - the screen. He's a big, color and bright, like a good PDA. Enter, of course, the touch. Familiar with the popular smartphone Ericsson R380, however, there is not much in P800 folding flip. Hence, on-screen buttons, software, as many smartphones. In practice, the on-screen buttons are uncomfortable only because they can not find. In any case, the phone will bring to the eyes and turn on the backlight. Sometimes it becomes a problem. Imagine a situation when you need to urgently call a service by pressing the preset button.Or in an extraordinary situation where there is no time to operate with a stylus and stare at the screen (well, there - we burn, make the bosses "or" ratuyte, good citizens "- the situation may be different). At the same old R380 touch buttons are hidden under the hinged flip for the user, virtually identical to the hardware buttons. Although you can get used to everything - it would rest at a height of ...

What's on the screen? Window Symbian operating system version 7.0. The brainchild of a consortium, it shows convincingly that the sympathy Boxing-Psion alive (!). And it can not but rejoice, because the operating system family for Symbian smartphones and communicators is hardly any perfect solution for today. As a novelty, a new graphical user interface UIQ pen-based input. What makes this UIQ? It allows programmers do not have to do every time developing an interface from scratch, and take a ready-made, well within the standard platform, the solution and adapt it to fit your needs - in this case, usually without losing compatibility with existing software. But ordinary users will be convenient to work on it with a variety of communications such as Multimedia Messaging Service, EMS, SMS, mail and fax on GSM, GPRS, EDGE, HSCSD, CDMA, cdma2000. In any case, thinks so Symbian.

P800 smartphone software includes a program of personal planning (organizer with advanced features, calendar, address database, and so forth), Web-browser with integrated Java, a powerful WAP-browser and support for multimedia applications. Probably, there is a full-featured email program, as announced expanded support for Short Message Service. The smartphone is equipped with a built-in modem and fully supports data transmission protocols according to the specifications GPRS, that the active implementation of this technology metropolitan mobile network operators makes it an attractive P800 favors and for us - Russian users. And a built-in Bluetooth adapter turns the P800 into a wireless modem for laptop computers. But the highlight of the apparatus, of course, the built-in digital camera. Sensor resolution is not stated, but judging by the screen resolution at 208x320 pixels it's not a tiny matrix for the half-blind shots "rough" quality. Phone memory enough to store 200 pictures, but the camera itself is integrated into the smartphone, which essentially turns it into one of the main working tools. In particular, the pictures illustrate the phone's address book, that is, except the name and the recipient's name in the book can be placed, and his face. Accordingly, it is easier to work with a list of address book - no need to get a grasp of the text or to remember what a man is behind one or another phone number. It suffices to see color images, click the stylus on the right and to initiate, thus, a set of numbers ... The closest competitor that uses the Symbian operating system version 7.0 and has the same features, including built-in digital camera manufacturers consider the Nokia 7650 - one of the latest models of the Finnish concern. We, as potential customers, it is hoped that the two get along "irreconcilable friend" in a niche market unlikely. And this will lead to lower prices for "fototelefony. In the meantime, I would like it, this is the P800, seen in Russia, if only just to touch it. The emergence of smart phones with improper to additional features suddenly reminded of a story. Long ago, before perestroika, the Soviet industry produced a sample of a typewriter with a built-in mechanical clock. New look revolutionary, but very silly ... From P800 - the first smartphone from Sony Ericsson - is unlikely to happen.If Ericsson is a recognized patriarch in the production of means of communication, the Sony - a professor of digital photography. It is difficult to imagine that we still can give it snaps alliance:) The authors, translation:
