The downloading thing - I phoned vodafone and they said it was a known fault with vodafone live and the z500 - they refunded all the costs I had incurred and said they are 'working on it' - and to phone back in a week if I still had probs. Since then, I have managed to download a couple of video clips no prob, but still intermittent probs.
Also - cant move music from my pc on to my phone. Says 'this file is not an audio file and is not suitable for this folder' or something. Same thing with W4A files and Mp3s. Cant understand it. Getting v. annoyed now....

I'm having a problem downloading ringtones from Vodafone live. After the progress bar fills to 100% I get the error message Unable to Install Invalid Descriptor. Any ideas?

One of the best features i like on phones are the alarms. This phone is the worst piece of crap ever for alarms.
1. needs to be switched on to work
2. can't adjust volume - will wake you up and give you a heart attack. The alarm is louder than the top volume on the ring. Does not make sense.
3. Sometimes doesn't work, found this out when i slept in by an hour and was late for work.
Everything else on the phone is ok. It should be worth noting my last samsung alarms did the oppisite to the above 3 points so it looks like a retard developed the alarm function.

I've had 5 sonyericssons and all have had hardware and software problems. All of them have had to be returned within the first 3 weeks of me owning them. I won't be getting another one. Its not surprising that they are so well known for being the most unreliable of phones. All the samsungs that i've owned have been trouble free.

Sony Ericsson is sh*t..samsung Z500 is better than any SE phones ryt now, including K750i & W800..user interface of those phones are crap..resolution, despite claiming 262k colors is sh*t..samsung Z500 beats them in screen display hands down..they just have better camera & that's it..u r so stupid if u will a buy a phone bcoz of the camera..no phone, not even W800 & K750i is btter than a digicam..

To A CARROLL.
Re. opening your photo texts! You need to ring Vodafone 191 and ask them to allow this on your phone or you'll have to go to website each time to view your pictures.

i had this phone for a week and could not wait to get shot of it . nice wee but samsung did not put a lot of thought into battery consumption..sony ericsson is far better i got 2 full days with the sony v600i with loads of calls and downloaded 4 or five video s . the samsung could not do that . v600i rules......... 3g at the min.. k608 . k600 depends what network you go for..

I've now had the phone for just over a week. In my opinion.....its great. Very small, easy to use, once you've mastered the menus.
Battery life has got better, especially after following a tip on here...
a)settings
b)connectivity
c)network settings
d)network mode and
e)select GSM 900/1800 rather than automatic.
It made loads of difference...

What is everybody talking about time switching. In the"TIME & DATE" menu you can mark 2 options all at the bottom.

Hi, has the MP3 player some kind of equalizer? Is the sound stereo with the right earpieces? Thx very much, Alex.
