Can K800/K810i even using it ?

You have to flash to a firmware that can read Chinese and can input Chinese
Head back to the shop you buy and request for a reflash since you just bought it. If the person ask for cash, said you just bought it and hope he can give you a free reflash.

@ Bold sentence : Reflashing firmware can solve the problem. AP set can also read and write Chinese character as AP set and original set has no different except for the warranty.

AP set is also a phone manufacture by Sony Ericsson. It's called AP because it's brought in here by some other company instead of authorize dealer like Thorus or Midland.

So, it can read Chinese. Just need firmware reflash.

Be careful of doing that yourself, the warranty will void if you cause anything wrong to your phone and the AP company will not responsible for that. I'd recommend -r|E'|quad- not to do it yourself. Since you just bought it, head on ask for a free reflash. It's just one day and I believe they can do it for you free.

Yeah. Same firmware for sure won't affect anything. Change to a firmware that can read Chinese and support Chinese Input for sure will make AP set to have Chinese character reading and Input. Any AP set can do that.

I do
I did mine before with Iphone theme and the last mod of mine was PSP menu



I did wrote a tutorial of modding K800i/K810.

A warning to you, newly bought phone are not advisable to mod as it will void the warranty.

Yes, any mod will void the warranty. No matter it's a menu mod or camera driver mod, it will void the warranty.

It's up to you, your budget, your need of 5MP or 3MP.
K850 is newer phone so if you want to use the phone for longer time and walkman in phone, head on to K850 then

Yes original price will be around RM 2xxx. K850i still have improvement in future as the newer firmware for sure will solve the not so nice photo taken by 1st batch firmware.

If you're not in a hurry to get a phone, wait for K850i 2nd firmware. If it show a very good photos, go ahead and grad one for yourself then

Latest firmware : R6BC001.

Updating firmware will solve some bugs in previous firmware or add in new features depending on the change log of the firmware.

Updating for free, use Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS)

Updating through SEUS won't void the warranty.

Mate, K810i can support up to 2GB as some of the forumer here already using it. Even K800i can use 2GB, I see no reason why K810i can't.

my mistake. Sorry.
4GB need a firmware update from SEUS I assume to make it support

Some SEUS won't help to update AP set even you're willing to pay the money for it.

I mean some Sony Ericsson Service Center (Should be SESC but typo sory) won't update for you as it's an AP set

Ask for a change then. 5 years warranty if your memory card is a genuine one

Hi there,

What's your memory card brand ? Sandisk or Sony ? As currently there isn't any fake (AFAIK) M2 yet. And all Sony and Sandisk M2 comes with 5 years warranty.

Regarding the warranty, you can always ask from both Sandisk and Sony company. If can't then since it's gift, I'm sure your friend or who ever give it to you this gift will keep the receipt. Just try to ask from then the receipt or box (as memory card comes in box) so that you can claim a new one

Should be can claim as the box as the proof of buying the genuine M2 right ?
The warranty should be 5 years for genuine M2 (I think there isn't any fake M2 available at market yet)

Hi there. Welcome aboard.
The battery life can be spice up by turning off the 3G mode if you're not using it. Try check under setting at network selection there. Choose to GSM mode only and I believe you can stay longer with a single charge

Yes as the phone will be keep searching for available 3G line at your place so it will still consume more battery life.

Choose GSM mode as even your telco doesn't have 3G but your phone will still searching for 3G line that available. So, indirectly the battery will drain faster.
