Soon there will be better software for P800

In the beginning of April there will be an option to upgrade the software for the P800. The upgrade will also increase the quality of pictures taken with the built in camera.

Another thing that will be improved in the new software is Bluetooth. Earlier there were problems connecting Bluetooth accessories.

UIQ is the name of the software that works together with SymbianOS. Recently there was a new version of UIQ released, and P800 users will be able to get this version in their phones. Sony Ericsson has started tests with the new UIQ. Our sources say the software will be released to the users in the beginning of April.

It has also been mentioned that the users might be able to upgrade the phones themselves by downloading a software upgrade from internet.
