new P900 user

i have a few questions...

1) Is there a better movie player that plays more than just mp4?

2) In the documentation with mu p900 it say it's compatable with UPTO 128mb
mermory stick duo, does this mean you cant use a higher capacity memory
stick?

3) Yes remote P900 is a handy app... but has anyone come accross an
application to let you control your PC media collection, from your P900 via
bluetooth.... better still complete control of the PC.

appart from this, it's a very nice phone... i would have pref'd a metal
stylus, normal headphone jack, and maybe some better preloaded screen savers
etc, but all in all very nice

Well, RealPlayer (yuk) is on the way... I assume there's an MPEG player, no
DivX or XviD that I know of (though maybe one in development...)
www.my-symbian.com 's UIQ section is a good place to start looking... Oh,
and www.esato.com and www.howardforums.com have superb P900 forums.

Yes, Memory Stick Duos above 128MB are in fact "Memory Stick Duo Pro", which
are sadly not supported I believe there's a 256MB MS Duo that is two
128MB banks with a small switch to choose between them though... If we're
talking about getting lots of music onto the phone, I suggest using a 128MB
Duo and Symbian OggPlay! www.geocities.com/p800_tools the OGG file format
lets you get an average song down to under 1.5MB at reasonable quality!

Don't know...

Yes, 3.5MM Headphone socket would have been nice, the supplied headphones
are shocking... Still, just get a good pair for headphones, lop off the
3.5MM jack and solder on a 2.5MM one

My P900 included some animated gifs that can be used as screen savers...
Though AFAIK TFT or LCD screens don't suffer from screen burn problems, so a
screen save is unnececary, the clock power save mode is far more useful...

cheers!

....And I thought of another... is there a way to "bluetooth" files to the
memory stick? whenever i try it always drops it in my phone memory, ....
obviously this limits the number of files you can send at once.

I don't know, never really experimented with it, it's too damn slow! I
strongly suggest you invest in a USB Memory Stick reader/writer, it's about
a million times faster!
