| This page is for any
owners of the Sony Ericsson phones. Mainly for info on
more of the newer, highend models including the K800i,
Z710i, K750i/W800i. These pages will include my
personal themes, photo galleries, how-tos, and info on each.
Sony Ericsson's K750i and
W800i cellphones are basically identical when it comes down
to hardware. The only really differences are in the
housing and keypads used and the software/firmware on each.
What this means is that you can buy a K750i and then convert
your phone to be a W800i walkman phone. More info to
come on this.
With that being said, I am
a true believer in these phones. They are probably one
of the first true convergence cellphone. The media
player/mp3 player in the phone is decent and 1GB on a Duo
stick is perfect for a day out snowboarding. The
2megapixel camera is a nice bonus too. Sure, it won't
replace your normal digital camera (trust me, i've tried)
but its a kick in the pants compared to any other cellphone
cameras.
The SE UI in the phone is
probably one of the best i've seen for some time. I
really like the customization you are allowed w/the Theme
Creator program. Check out my gallery for some Walkman
based themes I've created.
However, there has been
one nagging bug that has followed the SE's latest highend
models, the ever infamous 'power phone off, then try to turn
back on and get White screen of death (wsod) or no screen
and blinking IR). I have just recently added a new
page on how to fix this problem for free using
Wotanserver.com's client! After selling my K800i; the
buyer experienced this SAME problem; had him send back to me
and i fixed asap (after reading on hofo forums about
problems). Most times, a firmware update will resolve
the problem too (in the case of W800i / K750i ).
I love Sony phones but this
is a problem they must resolve asap, especially when you
consider the phones that this happens to are usually the
models that cost well over $300 (my K800i ran me about $430
in aug 06).
