I got this phone with an O2 contract in the UK. The phone's firmware is R9G007.

I tried using Fring. It wont make the test call - some kind of application error is reported and Fring restarts.

Thought I should see if I could update the firmware. Tried using the update service software. It identified the phone as being P1i-O2-UK. But was warning me that I'd loose all user data if I continue with the upgrade.

Some questions -
Has anyone had any issue with using Fring on this phone, especially in the UK?
Does the user data actually get deleted when upgrading the firmware? (The demo on SE website suggests otherwise).
What's the latest version of firmware for this market? Any significant improvement over R9G007?

Any replies would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    hey, i was thinking of getting a P1i, but am not sure if the LED flash can be used as light for taking videos. if not maybe i'll just get the K850i, the Video has a dedicated LED aside from xenon for taking still images..thanks!

        Hello P1i community,
        I like to use the sms function a lot. Specially to send at once a group of people the same sms text. In my old SE 700i I could create groups easily.....but here i am stuck.
        Can anyone help/tell me how to create groups,
        ans send an sms to those groups. Thanks a lot from cold and wet Luxemburg ( somewhere nnear France in Europe.

              I bought this phone 2 days ago. Everything works fine but the reception. The bar fluctuates all the time and I lose the signal a lot for a few seconds. Is this a common issue and did by any chance any of you faced such problem with your handset (any type of Sony Ericsson). Is there any way to get rid of it?

                        Bluetooth:
                        I found out that I can refresh services from PC only after pairing, but still cannot make any connections even in this state.
                        I did a reset to factory defaults, the result was the same.

                        One new tab appeared though, when I select the paired device, there is a second tab: services. It has two options: ok, refresh.
                        So it shows what should be working. :)

                        (Btw I'm using IVT BlueSoleil driver.)

                          Sohag:
                          i think you have to tap the word suggested on the top to choose it.
                          To switch off T9(predictive text):
                          When you are in the typing screen, tap "more" on your bottom right hand corner, then tap "text option", uncheck "predictive text" on the last line.
                          Hope that helps. :)

                                      I tested 3G connectivity by switching to 3G only mode. Calls and smses were fine, but the signal strength was hectic. It is very weak inside buildings as well. If you don't use it, disable it.

                                      Btw I just updated to R9J005. Here are my initial experiences:
                                      - bluetooth service discovery was not fixed
                                      - free memory after upgrade: 81.5 mb
                                      - the whole phone is faster, if I turn on transitions it still beats R9H004 without the animations...
