All about Sony Ericsson Phones

[THUG]

good decision! most people who make the switch to SE never go back to the dark side...

 

those pips who went to SE never went back to the tiangge's again! hhehehe

 

 

anybody in here got the K800?

[topak]

yup i got the K800. it's a great device! no megabass nga lang but so many big and little improvements over my K750 and W900, too many to mention here. also because it uses a xenon flash, you cannot use it as a flashlight but i installed a java app which lets you use the red autofocus light as a flashlight! :cool:

[Bullet1]

Yup, got a K800i too.. My first SE mobile. It has been with me for less than a week and still exploring all the features of the phone. Very nice screen resolutiona and it's a digicam in disguise.

 

My unit did not come with a micro card and the 512 mb card is still quite expensive hu hu.

 

Anyway, Im happy with the phone. A nice music player when using the headphone but not the built in speaker.

 

CIAO :cool:

pano kaya mangyayari dyan ano? kase may mga illiterate na bar and club owners and moviehaus which does not allow bringing digicams inside their establishment.. they allow cam phone but disallow digicams.. baka naman ngayon pati camphone e di na i allow? bad trip yung mga yun..

 

tanong ko nga pre?

 

bakit iba iba ang price ng k750i? sa isang local distributor ang price nasa 15k pero 1 year warranty? sa ibang shop 13k pero 1 month warranty? sa tiangge naman brand new and orig daw nasa 11,500 pero 1 week warranty lang?

 

 

di ba dapat standard na 1 year warranty yan pag binili? kase from SE mismo yung warranty na yun.. kumbaga SE dapat ang kumakarga ng warranty nya at dun sa SE mo isosoli for replacement if ever may problema?

you can only claim warranty if your se phone came from an authorize phil. dealer. kung black market yun SESS will not accept it for warranty.

mga dude, could anybody point me to the right direction...

 

I am looking for an app to download for my k750i...an app that will enable me to continuously record video.

 

Hope somebody could pm me.

 

Appreciate it

so what are the name of the shops that are authorized dealer?

[topak]

sony ericsson shop, semicon, memo express, but several other small shops now also.

 

best way is to remove the battery and check: if there is an NTC sticker, together with a sticker of either semicon, memo express or haldane, then it is covered by an authorized service center warranty.

pips help me decide

 

We all know that the K750i is the same as the W800i, the difference is that the W800i comes with 256 MB mem stick while the k700 comes with a measly 64MB mem stick..

 

is the 64MB mem stick enough? or did you buy another mem stick and just store away your 64MB somewhere and not used anymore?

 

in this case, is the w800i more practical since you dont need to buy another mem stick? sayang ata yung 64mB ng k750 kase for sure di mo rin magagamit..

 

lastly.. can you use the k750i as flash usb disk?

you don't need an application to continously record video from your SE K750i

 

it all depends on your memory stick memory

first of all, it can be used as a usb drive but if you connect it to a PC with the data cable, you must first install the phone's drivers on the PC. but sharing files via bluetooth or infrared is no problem and very straightforward.

 

re the memory stick, even 256MB is not nearly enough especially if you plan to use it as a music player. personally, i think 1GB is the bare minimum. the max available right now is 4GB but not that easy to find locally. 2GB sticks are pretty widespread but beware that many if not most of the sony high speed memory sticks for sale are fakes and many fail after a short period. you're much safer buying sandisk. it's cheaper and both sony and sandisk come out of the same factory. but the sony branding makes it more expensive.

is it ok to buy in the black market? its 30% cheaper buying in the black market than buying in authorized SE shops..

 

 

what is the best black market out there, with shop warranty?

[topak]

well first of all, let me start by saying that of all the ericsson and sony ericsson phones i've purchased, which is probably over 25 by now, i have NEVER had to make a warranty claim on a single one. if ever i had a problem, it would be a software bug which was almost always resolved when the phone was flashed with newer firmware. but NEVER did i have a hardware problem.

 

because of my experience, i then started purchasing some of my phones on the grey market. i am by no means saying that you will not have any problems. they can always happen. but it has never happened to me. (knock on wood!) but i would NEVER consider buying a nokia without a warranty, for example. nokias have a failure rate that is 3x the industry average.

 

i will not try to convince you to purchase from the grey market. i buy from both channels anyway but i will just explain to you my logic when i do get a grey market unit.

 

for example, i recently bought a K800 on the grey market for under 21k. i got a grey market unit because the authorized dealer quoted me a price of over 29k. for an 8k differential, i am willing to take the risk that if ever i have a problem, hopefully it won't cost me more than a few thousand and will be less than the 8k i saved. if the difference was only 4-5k, i might have gotten a warrantied unit instead. but with that big a gap, i'm willing to gamble. and so far, my k800 has been flawless, hardware-wise. firmware update should be out in a few weeks.

 

if you do buy from the grey market, the only thing you should demand is that they give you a 7-day period wherein if any HARDWARE problems surface, they will REPLACE the unit free of charge. normally if there is a defect, it should surface in the first week.

 

if you encounter a problem after that, then take it to an authorized service center. sure you will have to pay, but all these grey market people offer is free labor anyway, not parts. and damned right that it should be free labor because their people have not gotten any training from the manufacturer and you don't want your phone to be some kind of guinea pig for them to learn on! so in the end, the only difference between having it repaired at an authorized service center is the labor cost.

 

the last point is that it may be a little riskier to go grey market on a new model, e.g. the K800. but the K750 and W800 have been in production for quite a while now and are already so damned reliable and the firmware extremely stable that you almost must have been born on friday the 13th to get a bad unit!

 

anyway, food for thought... your call in the end.

i have one tol and you just have to change the configuration in settings if you open the video option na...change the shoot mode to high quality video then it will depend on your memory size na kung gaano katagal ang recording....till now di pa ako nagsasawa sa k750i ko...been doing some kinky and scandalous stuff with it...hehehehe
