    Worthless handset. Never ever buy this one. My handset has been replaced three times in 3 days but all 3 are defective. Mobile hangs when out going call is made. Echo sound is there in incoming calls. Can’t synchronize with outlook. error is reported to which no solution is provided. Total waste of 18000/- bucks.

  14. Renuka siddaiah

    I would sugges to all RIM lovers that wait for the technology to get settled and then buy. Let all bugs be discovered and repaired. i am in dire strait.

  19. pawan

    I have been using P3000 for a month now, bought it from bangalore, i live in delhi. The phone is good but have some problems, The networking is really touch to do, the windows got hanged many times need to reboot the phone. The edge technology not available so you can only have data or voice at a given time. The camera will only work in good day light, no flash option.. the quality in day is good. The windows option of copy paste in messages is good. the POP mail access is good i can access my gmail and hotmails directly on phones. and read them. Dialing phone you need to have touch screen stick to seach contact so forget single hand handling of phone.

    I had taken this HTC P3000 for my tataindicom, but unfortunately its all pre configured with Reliance and I’m using this as normal phone – just to receive and make calls, I mean not able to access Internet in this, even these Tata Indicom people not supporting and no help from them (asusual) 🙁
