      Dear 5ushi,
      The problem of high pitched song exists in my phone also. I told you.
      SE should fix this problem as well as other one that if the song is in stop mode for more than 1 minute the battery consumption should be reverted to as in standby mode to prevent accicdental drain of battery.
      I checked up that my firmware for orange spain is latest.
      Lets hope SE will solve these issues.
      Although I have highlighted these issue on SE site on web but there have been very quiet and have only recommended to get in touch with local service centres.
      Try for the same in your country and share your experience.

              It seems that the WALKMAN bug has NOT been fixed... I was listening to some Mozart while reading a book... Then, lo and behold, the high-pitched sound suddenly comes out while I was adjusting the equaliser... This sound is stopped by either changing tracks or fast-fowarding the music...

              Therefore, I can only conclude that SE has simply fixed the camera driver only (from VER2.6 to VER4) with the latest update...

              Anyone else have a bug with this phone (with the latest firmware)? Please, post your feedback, so SE can view them and fix them for future updates~!

                        YIKES! Everyone is asking questions!!

                        Ok, for DX
                        You can update in 2 ways - computer (via USB) or in the phone (Update Service). I recommend using the computer (cheaper). Go to google.com and search and download Sony Ericsson Update Service. Install it, and follow the instructions from there...

                        For Sharad
                        Yes, looking at that the phone is locked to the Orange network... It is possible to unlock, but you are looking at paying (US$15) to do so... Plus, your firmware is the old version... I recommend that you get it unlocked, and install the generic W200 firmware (for the country you live in), and update from there...

                        For Rathu,
                        I personally use a silicon (synthetic) cover, but it doesn't really matter to the safety of the phone... Silicon, I bought for US$3
                        Also, you should update your phone (or at least try) using the computer based update service... There, it will say whether you need a update or not. If you do, update it. If you don't, don't. The latest firmware should allow 2GB M2. The older firmware supposedly allows 1GB M2. This depends on the country you are in. Check your country's SE site for more details...

                        Wow, I hope this helps everyone...

                                      For Sharad...
                                      The problem is due to the fact that the phone has the file open and ready to play... This is what causes the phone to consume more than average battery charge... Just found this out....

                                      Cheers~

                                        Hi,
                                        It is THEORETICALLY possible to change the current 65K UBC screen (on W200) to a 256K TFT LCD screen (this LCD must be from SE K510). These 2 phones are based on the same chassis body structure and can THEORETICALLY support each others parts. Note that if you want to chnage the screen, go ask a phone shop (like a importer). SE will probably say that this process will not be possible, but due to the striking similarities, I say otherwise...

                                        Also, please note that with the new firmware update, the W200 is able to support a 2GB M2 card... I thought it would just support 1GB and bought 1GB... T_T
                                        Future updates may make the max capacity go even higher (you can get 4GB cards these days for K850)...

                                        For Sharad...
                                        That is very strange... Maybe it is because the non generic firmware... If your phone is riddled with non SE stuff (eg Vodafone or Orange logo), then I suppose that that might be a firmware bug... I never experienced that problem so not sure what to say about that... I will give it a go and see what happens...

                                        Any more questions (please make them sensible - TBS~!) please ask...
