P800: Worth the upgrade from a Nokia 7650?

Hi,
Wondering if someone could help me make a decision...
My contract with Orange (UK) is nearly up, I currently have a Nokia 7650
which I rather like except for the paltry 4MB of memory.
I've been considering making my next phone a Sony Ericsson P800, mostly
becuase I'd find the MP3 player handy. Can someone tell me what the MP3
player facility on the phone is like? If it's crap, is a better one
available (preferably free)?
Also, how does the camera on it compare to a 7650 (I know the resolution is
the same, but how is the image quality compared to 7650?

I've used Nokias for 4 years now, I've never owned another brand (went from
3210 to 7110 to 6210 to 7650).

What's the difference between the various forms of Memory Stick (MS, MS Pro,
MS Duo, MS w/MagicGate etc) and is it only MS Duo that will work on the
P800? What is the biggest memory card I can get?

Are there any other things you think I should know about the P800? Niggles,
interface issues, other reasons it's better than a 7650 etc, please let me
know...

TIA

no line two. on p800.
but it does seem to be worth the switch from nokia.

its bluetooth wouldn't work with my sony laptop with integral bluetooth. the
remedy suggested by SE has put all the wireless facillities of laptop out of
whack. and that screen will probably cost the same £420 that my laptop is
setting me back for a replacement.
be a bit cautious.otherwise go for it.

hope all my info helps u make a decision i dont use it (normally) as
an mp3 player.. it is just for novelty. i use it primarily coz of it's
pda functions. im a proud owner of a mineral gray p800 with 128M MS
Duo. i hate the fact that the MS Duo's are pricey and quite hard to
find, but since i have one already i am not one to complain.

Ah, I still referred to the battery door when I said flap, sorry. When I
put some paper in between battery and battery door (in order to stop the
thing soundind like a 3$ phone in my hand), it would bekome flaky in the
cradle.
