The trouble is these button smartfones are low quality really and not top spec..The BB 9900,Nokia E6 and HTC desire Z all have poor cameras and video recording.

          I dont want to make excuse but this smartfone took a long time to produce and they got most of it right.There is one hell of a lot of tech stuffed in this smartfone...Its only one in the world and s/e need to bring out this fone again but streamlined and updated with latest proccessors..Perhaps with Ice Cream Sandwhich on it straight out of box..

          I am buying one Monday to try out but wish s/e or Sony now would bring out playstation smartphone 2..

                      I love the idea of the playstation mode, but seriusly, where would you play with?Only in cases of large journies.Then it's too large and does not have any QWERTY so i think it's difficult to write texts.It would be finest if it had, i don't know, a 2-slider mode: the QWERTY, and the playstation mode.

                              If the other values next to it have number next to them, it means that the software is updated with your service provider's custom bloatware, and other restrictions etc.
                              Use watanserver.com to debrand.

                                Julian, 21 Nov 2011They don't seem to brand the phones these days, just lock t... more£233 inc postage. It is the white one.

                                Now, I just discovered that it was o2 branded because I did a software update from 2.3.3. to 2.3.4. and when I switched the phone on and off, it had installed that stupid o2 splash screen.
                                So to recap, ithe updates to my phone come from o2 and not S.E. direct which means that in the future if there is an update, then O2 has the final say on it :(

                                However there is a very easy solution for this problem in that I used 'wotanserver.com' to unbrand the phone which will allow me to get my future updates from sony ericsson themselves without having o2's involvement.
                                It is free and all you need is a laptop/pc and follow the so simple instructions on the site :)

                                You can confirm weather it works by entering the secret menu dialer code on your phone.

                                The code is *#*#7378423#*#*
                                Next goto 'service info' then to 'sim lock'.

                                before the debranding all the values were five except the top one, now after debranding, they are 0. except for the top one, which is still 4 meaning I just need 02 to allow the use of other sim cards (which they will do).

                                        You could have probably got an unlocked version from other sites, how much did you get it for on amazon?
