          Just noting the camera - I think that it is THEORETICALLY possible to take the 0.3 camera out and fit the W200 with a 1.3 MEGAPIXEL, over-riding the camera driver with the one from the K510, meaning that you have a decent quality camera on the W200 as a result - this is to be tested...

          The phone will not over-charge (unlike some Nokias and some Samsungs). Nevertheless, caution is required... Charging the battery for around 6 hours makes sure that the battery is fully charged, with no 'empty spaces'... I recommend charging this phone for around 6 hours, BUT NEVER OVER 12 HOURS.

          Keep the 128MB card - or you could try selling it on eBay (though nobody will buy it...)

          As for downloads, go to google.com and search W200 themes. You will be able to see a sight from myliask.com (or similar, don't quite remember...) Go in there and themes galore~ (and other phone material)

          Hope that helps~

            1. CHARGING:
            ------------

            I charged this phone for 9 hrs. (9.30pm to 5.30am). I guess while charging is done in 2-3 hrs., the phone automatically stops charging once done. Is it so or I have overcharged the phone. I guess SE should make alarm system or we can set alarm on our own while chargint the phone for 2-3 hrs? Can you tell me what is the best time/system for chargin this phone while the indicator is almost 1 (last).

            2. MEMORY:
            ----------

            Thanks 5ushi for your detailed answer for memory card. So 1GB card will be fine. Here the price is Rs. 800/- ($18). I am planning to get it soon in 2-3 months. What to do with the 128 mb card? SE should give 1gb card with the phone by adding some price of the 1gb card. Its really boring to change the mp3 files everymonth with 128mb card which can store only 20 mp3 files!!

            3.THEMES:
            ---------
            Please tell me how many themes are there for this phone. This phone is having around 5 themes including SE default theme. Please give me the url which gives around 100 themes.

                  I bought mine for $90US back in June, and it costs around about $105US in New Zealand at the moment...

                  As for the 2GB card, it is true that the phone will move slower with the larger 2GB M2 card, due to the fact that it has a larger area to look and scan around for files etc... This may increase the chances of the W200 to get frozen (or white screen of death). Nevertheless, 2GB are supported, and SE is planning (I believe) to make the W200 capable with 4GB M2 cards in the future... I use a 1GB SONY M2 card, and I have experienced some problems with it (FAILED PLAYBACK of songs that were playing normally, abnormal sounds from WALKMAN)... I think that these problems will become more frequent with larger M2 cards, unless the newer firmware have the proper fixes... So, I suggest you wait another 3-4 months to wait and see whether SE will release a new firmware that will increase the max M2 size while fixing the slow speed and error problems..

                  Hope that helps...

                        Is there anybody using the 2gb card for this phone and happy with the speed I heard it can supporot 2gb but the speed will not be fine and the phone will hang while using a 2gb M2card. I am chaning my mp3s every month with the 128mb card came with the phone and still confused on getting the card whether 1 or 2gb for this phone. I got the answer from sony and they say 1gb will work and we say 2gb works with the new firmware whats this?

                        1. Sony on their website says, 2gb support.
                        2. Technical people sony says, 1gb.

                        Its a mystery which nobody can explain!! So anybody out there using the 2gb card and which firmware are you using? please tell me. Thanks.

                            This phone comes with the Bass Reflex earphones (HPM-64) and with the software CD

                            THe W200 can work with larger M2 cards (2GB max at present, and SE has said that may increase this in the future). The W200 can work with 1GB, and can work with 2GB with the most recent firmware.

                              I'm using 1G M2 (in fact 949 MB).and 700 MB music on it plays with no problem.good fone exept the casing, there is a gape between side orange cover and white portion so when i hold it and then push the orange area it makes a sound, that makes it look really cheap,also there is a wire-like nub inside the screen on the left side.
                              and i would like to ask from who told it's battery lasts a week that how he/she has used it in a week? cause mine lasts max for 3 days if i use it(not in stand by mode).
                              and last thing is about non-original memory cards,can they damege the fone or stop working after a short period?
                              i've bought a sandisk but it is made in china and has no logo or serial on it, my original card was made in taiwan!!
