Brownman88 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I own the SE 790a (GSM 850 / 1800 / 1900) which is the North American version of the 800i. Can I use it in the Phil? Thanks Quote Link to comment
pogipogi0 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 any upgrade for having chu-in chinese text input for this phone? i love this fone! Quote Link to comment
Brownman88 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Thanks topak...Is it ok without the 900 band, drawbacks of north american tri-band in the phil??? Quote Link to comment
topak Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 well 1800 will be your only usable band here but you should be ok. malas mo nalang if you find yourself in an area with only 900 available! Quote Link to comment

jonathan_tracer23 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 i have one and i think it's just great. it's an excellent evolution of the K750i with a very high-end feel to it in terms of assembly quality and implementation of its features. one feature that wasn't improved from the K750 tho is the video recording quality. it's not bad by any means but it was not brought up to W900 standards. but the emphasis of SE for this model is still images. there is speculation that they are reserving the top quality video recording for a different model. but if you don't really record that much video, then it's no big deal. playing video is very good tho. the only complaint i have is that i'm getting impatient for the larger memory sticks to arrive because of the new format (M2). the largest right now is 1GB although the 2GB stick should be released by the end of the year. there are a lot of comprehensive reviews of the phone on the net. you can start by checking this one out: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_k800-review-93.php Jurassic nga video nito, pero pansin ko mas malinaw sya ng konti kapag kumukuha ka ng vid naka 50% zoom ka..

koopahl Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Download the Update Service software first then it'll automatically install on your PC. Run the software then follow the instructions you'll see on the screen. Here's the link for the Update Service software: Update Service Software yep ok sheila...got the link...maybe you can further explain this to me? after downloading the software and opening it for the installi get to the instructions until where you are given the procedure ofinstalling the software... but first it gives this 5-step detail on shutting down the phone andremoving the SIM and then plugging the usb cable and then opening itagain... no problem there...but after doing this, why does it not continue to the install? it keeps asking to repeat the process (which i do) until i just basically lost interest... tried updating through the internet but it keeps saying the software is current...duh???or the same "device management interrupted...etc, etc...

topak Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 to clarify: hold down the 'C' key, then insert the cable into the phone and do not release the 'C' key until you are instructed to by the Update Service. Quote Link to comment
koopahl Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 to clarify: hold down the 'C' key, then insert the cable into the phone and do not release the 'C' key until you are instructed to by the Update Service. much obliged topak...from koopahl (kinda brings elegance to this post, ain't it? ) Quote Link to comment
koopahl Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 tough luck...just downloaded the update but it won't install in Mac OS...bummer! :thumbsdownsmiley: Quote Link to comment
topak Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 ah a mac user... well then you can either try the OTA updates or bring it in to an SE service center. i prefer the SE store in glorietta, since in all my years of experience, the people in semicon have indicated that they are retarded.

koopahl Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 here...here...that seems to be the case at semicon...well thanks topak...will bring it to the SE store @ glorietta... :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

rozzDrovz Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Haven't got time to update my phone's firmware hope that i can get it done this friday......... Quote Link to comment
sheila70 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Check out the latest on WOTAN: WOTAN Server Quote Link to comment
koopahl Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Check out the latest on WOTAN: WOTAN Server do i understand correctly that you have to buy the upgrade software at WOTAN? or is there a way around this? Quote Link to comment
sheila70 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 do i understand correctly that you have to buy the upgrade software at WOTAN? or is there a way around this? Browsed through the site & you really do have to purchase credits on Wotan :thumbsdownsmiley: I've been checking Esato as well to get feedbacks about Wotan & some are not really satisfied with the service I'm just interested with how they can debrand the phone & revert it to Sony Ericsson's generic software Quote Link to comment
koopahl Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 ahh i see...was wondering if it was possible to download the updates without paying anything...so once again the same predicament remains... 1. can't install the update because i use a mac;2. can't update via WOTAN because you have to pay;3. can't download from the SE site coz there's nothing to download there (the updates) solution: hie off to the SE service center for the fix...bummer!
