Sony Ericsson P800

Introduced in 2002, the P800 was a pocket computer disguised as a phone. It ran UIQ 2.0 on Symbian OS v7.0, with a 156 MHz ARM9 processor, a touchscreen showing 4,096 colours and a 16 MB Memory Stick Duo in the box. Its clever part was the flip: closed, the phone looked like an ordinary keypad handset, but the keys simply pressed on the touchscreen underneath. Flip it down and the full screen opened up for the stylus; take the flip off altogether and the P800 became a pure touchscreen PDA. Design work had started at Ericsson as a successor to the R380 and was finished under the Sony Ericsson name. A VGA camera sat on the back, without the lens cover the Nokia 7650 had. The P900 replaced it in 2003.
