Hey guys, when I connect my phone to the PC, i can only backup my contacts and bookmarks onli.... I don't see any option that I can choose to backup all my other things, notes, sms, etc.... Any idea?? And also, if I use the SEUS to update my firmware, everything on the phone will get lost, including sms, contacts?

yes... everything will be gone...

be sure to back up everything..

i dont think blutooth is secure enough. if there is a glitch then your firmware will be corrupted. so i doubt they let you use it. i wouldnt do it. and i dont think SE will let you do it either.

......

hey sometimes when i turn off my phone it turns off. the screen goes blank. and then starts up again. then shuts down again....

anyone having this problem? im updating now. hopefully this gets solved.

you should back up contacts to your memory stick. i think this works better than the computer backup.

well i only back up the contacts to the memory card. i do this through the phone not with the pc. you just open up contacts>>more>>contact manager>>backup.

i usually do like this. cause sync. with pc is a bit moody.

Edited to add more criteria:
Brand: Prefer to stick with Sony Ericsson. ---->>> 

rclxms.gif

Main usage: Call and sms ---->>>

so far calls are clear. SMS sending also no problems. its slow to create a new sms message. (standard for smartphones though but if your first time you will really feel it.)

Camera: hope it's better than K800 3.2MP pics. --->>>

camera not so good. you will need to mess around with settings to get good pictures. ie. exposure and stuff

Touchscreen: Would love to try it. --->>>

accurate touchscreen. unlike the LG that i tried once.

Music: Very seldom listen to music through phone. --->>>

never use it. but i guess it should work. pretty standard thing. i watched some videos on the phone. works quite well.

Wifi/3G/installing 3rd party applications: Seldom use it as well. -->>>

so far works well for me. a bit slow sometimes. but i guess mini reciever is mini speed.
Design: Don't want bulky phones, prefer stylish design. Slide or flip phones would be a plus.[/b] ---->>>>

this phone is very stylo. and slim. i used to use a bigger phone. this one sometimes i feel like its not in my pocket. ... maybe its just me. hahahah.

Or you recommend to get any other phones?
(Don't recommend me C905, the price is too expensive still.)

its your choice. this phone is not for everyone. i will admit that. if you have a friend or something using this phone or the p1. just test it out for like 30 mins. or something.

QUOTE(aspire2oo6 @ Nov 10 2008, 11:37 PM)
its unfair to compare like that.

First u choose what you want to do with your phone? If play game, sms and call + other simple features then SE is for you.

If you prefer more this what Nokia symbian can do for now

Nokia symbian in the other hand if its design to take photo u can install program maybe to edit the photo maybe to improve quality or maybe add with audio maybe to tweak the photo or maybe send the photo online or maybe use msn to send photo. Thats the difference.

so this is just part 1. Symbian can also

Can become a VOIP phone by setting up
browser the net,
can retrieve pop emails
can install msn, yahoo,googletalk,icq,aol,
can make your phone into an AP WIFI,
can listen to world international radio,
can watch youtube online,
can do your expenses,
can open excel,word or powerpoint.
Create your own reminders birthday,events, guide your own way.
Symbian can even print your files thru wireless network thru network printer,
can convert the phone become remote control,
can become webcam ( webcam via WIFI imagine your webcam range is how far your WIFI signal can reach),
I can do my banking thru my phone without goin to bank
Facebook and friendster
Install difference video or audio software
Auto send sms
Play my song via WIFI using my pc speakers
Transfer software via bluetooth
Software to enhance your phone appearance
Run Flash movies or files
Browse forum or website
Do paranormal (cant remember how to spell) photos.
Put Logo or signature on photo without using pc
Watching online streaming TV or video
Install Blacklist from few different company
15 to hundreds Dictionary or translator for u to install
Install GPS application for navigation.
Can make your phone become Blackberry enabled phone without buying a new 1.
Crop ringtones or songs
Push to talk ( Make your phone become a walkie talkie )
Watch share market or stock and get instant update
Update your blog on the go
Transfer files from your phone to your wireless network via WIFI
Can make your phone become a spycam or security camera
Can become universal remote control
Accelerator can be used for games.
Accelerator software can flip to silent can flip to answer can flip tis and that
Accelerator can rotate screen or other tweaks
Accelerator can shake to silent can shake to change song can shake to end call ? By just installing software without buying a new phone
Software to protect theft from stealing your phone
Do expenses on your calls and sms.
Can install like 100 -1000 games.
Download files/Email or document from the net into the phone.

This just a few i am doing. There is alot of others things i havent install. And everyday there are more new application coming out
Question what do you want to do with your phone take photo,sms,listen to songs,calls, looks good and basic features and SE IS FOR YOU. If you want something more go for nokia symbian
