it wont lag if u play a 10 sec clip at 700bitrate
however it will lag if u play a 30min at that bitrate.
partly of the lag is also due to file is saved on memory stick instead of the phone. so get a gd sony memory stick instead of a lousier sandisk version.
then i compressed a video to about 350bit rate (177x124)
i can watch the whole of the 1hour naruto eposibe without any lag. also the color is gd and even tho the bitrate is lousier subtitles is still very much visible

            Got one of these yesterday - Very impressed! Good cam, good menus (easy) great quality, big colourful screen, great sound, tons of functions - could not be happier, the memory is good too (32mb card plus x amount phone mb) only prob I've found so far is the DRM thing on mp3s that stops u playing downloaded music. other than that BUY IT - v nice phone!!

                does v800 r1x011 firmware only remove the mp3 locks and pic ID stuff or does it actually get rid of all the voda stuff?
                If it does get rid of all the voda stuff, why is it listed under v800 firmware and not like the r1X016 and r1X019 under z800? what is the main difference between those?
                Thanks

                            Got my V802 from HK last week(V800 unlocked&using Z800 software supposelly).It's Ok for the first few days but started to play up....No reception,calls often dropped,can't make call,fone is on but won't receive incoming calls..??camera not good like expected..??...etc...
                            Very disapointed,the fone itself is great but only for Japan market and where 3G is popular&unlimited,I think we should wait for the Z800(unlocked&doesn't have Vodafone red logo on the casing+better camera's solution).For Alex: I've had same problem with the camera(????),do not try the master reset coz you might lose everything included putting itself back to theoriginal state of the fone(locked with Vodafone's Japan+the main screen will come back to Vodafone's display).Sent it back to my supplier&getting the SSung D500 instead.

                                  Well, aren't you special. I also have a V802SE that can play mp3s, give me a cookie. I don't know or care about using the Z800 software on the V802 but I can tell you that the V802 Japan software will only allow "DRM'd" mp3s to play, in other words, not play at all. All is needed to remove this is just flash the phone with the Europe V800 software and it will work like a charm.

                                  I'm sure this DRM fiasco was all Vodaphone's doing. Probably fearing lawsuits or just wanting to simply make alot of cash being the only people that could sell sounds and tones for the V802. In any case, just flash the phone with EU software and you're all good.

                                    IF anyone don't trust what i said, then go to this site z800 phone part, and read opinion, there are already three person said the same thing as i did, (upgrade v802 to z800 software)

                                        I guess you people have alot of question. so here is go.

                                        I'm using MP3 ring tone on my v802 (Software upgrade as z800 software already). and yes i have problem using cable feeding data into computer because i instead a v802 cd into my computer, but you can use infred or bluetooth, and that work fine.
                                        the reason you can't use mp3 ringtone is because either your phone haven't been unlock (vodafone lock up the mp3 system so that you have to down load song from their website, you have to unlock it) I hear from people that the older unlock version can't use mp3 as ringtone, only the new method (instead z800 software) can do it. OR the MP3 formate is not really MP3 formate.

                                        the price of the phone in hk is around 4000. but it is droping so mybe it will get cheaper very soon.
