                  Warning: Few days ago I posted an issue about missing the FM transmitter in my mobile after updating the software. SE send me an answer on my question about. They say as it was illegal in HK ( I bought the device in Hk and live in Europe) to use FM transmitter they removed it from the new Software version. I think this is complete illegal too. I bought this mobile special for the FM transmitter, when you connect the phone to your PC, SE tells you need an later software update, no word about the fact they removed functionallity out of the mobile. If they do not solve this, never SE anymore

                          This phone does take a while to start up, it takes its time going though the main menu when u turn it on, its easly sratched, when u use the internet it is slow finding a website & is slow going thought the said website, when u transfer or download media to ur phone-Eg Ipod libary it takes a while to transfer, it also switches from ur number being sent or being made private when u make a phone call): all up its crap i would not recommend to buy this phone, it would be better to wait for a better version to be put out...

                              ((BoomboX)), 11 May 2009see at da ...walkman setting...walkman\setting\fm transmitterThanks for your answer.
                              I checked, but seems after update to latest software version the FM transmitter is really gone.
                              in walkman settings I have:
                              play mode,
                              equalizer,
                              Visualisation,
                              lights effects,
                              stereo widening,

                                sony ericsson mad, 11 May 2009You should have recharged your battery for at least 16 hour... moreThanks for the advice, I'll try doing that now, let see if it works. I only had it for 10 days and I'm really dissapointed, by this problem. battery is not even good for 36 hours, I dissabled, bluetooth, voice commands and whatever that may seem a energy drainer. Hope charging it for 16 hours will do.
