How do you acces hotmail with your phone?
It's probably some settings you have made. coz I seriously doubt the 3510(being a higly unproffesional phone) is better at anything that has to do with wap...

But please do tell me how to acces hotmail with my phone..

What's so important about the sms signal.
Besides. look at the bright side. Since the tone is so ugly. no other phone maker will use it so everyone knows you have a kickass phone(Sony ericsson) and not some punkass piece of thrash(nokia) phone.
Let the mindless masses(nokia owners) keep changing their sms alert in a pathetic attempt to hide their mediocrity from succumbing to the herd mentality of todays general weak minded population.
But since only SE phones has that annoying(yet unique) sound when receiving data messages. They try in vain.

I pity them... I truly do.

So feel proud when your phone makes that ugly noise.
Know that you are better than the others.

In fact. I think SE does it on purpose to keep fools who look upon a nice message sound as criteria for purchasing a phone from Ruining their reputation.

By the way, Sony Ericsson T600 can change the SMS alert to diffrent tones. So, they know that this is a good option but they cannot do it in our T68i firmware. SE technical Support said, in old inquiry, that this option is hardware issue.

Thats odd, because my T68m had a completely different tone before I upgraded it to \"i\"...

You go on to mobile msn's wappage. The wap on the t68i isn't as good as the 3510's, apart from it is in colour, so many pages seem to fail to load. The settings where the same on the nokia as they are on the sony as i copyed them, and it is the same sim card so it can't be that or the network that is the problem.

Hi, I've just got back from my local SE service center UK & they flashed my phone with R7A005!

Is this still a test version?

I hope not, because I dont want my t68i to be fried within a few weeks

Atleast it solved my problem of the data wap stting being deleted everytime I restart the phone

@-=ViBeZ=-

Could you find any new features?

@Cytech

Could you confirm that R7A005 is available on the EMMA II server?

rogervdh,

R7A005 is listed at R7ATEST on EMMA2. But, it's only available for a very limited number of phones. The firmware seems to be available for phones that are not provisioned by a wireless carrier, but direct from the SE factory.

There are two versions, EU and US.

So, I don't really see any difference from R6A012 except that it scrolls thru the menus slightly faster. R6A012 was pretty fast as is. Some others have reported better reception and BT range, but I cannot confirm this as my phone loaded with R7A005 seems to be the same as R6A012 with my Jabra BT200.

No new features sorry. They have just speeded up the menu's. I was using R2A*** before the upgrade. So it's a great improvement

as virtualdynamix have written.... R7A is available as testversion for one EU version and one US version. It's only available for T68i, not for MMS upgraded T68m phones.

Have compared R6A with R7A in a network simulator, and it seems as R7A has some improvements on reception.

the address is http://emma.extranet.sonyericsson.com
but you have really no use for it... to access the firmware and the flash program you need special flashing equipment...

Thanks for the update. Currently I'm using R6A012. So I wait for the final R7XXX release. It's a good thing that R7XXX (maybe) has some improvements on reception. Why does SE release a test-version when R6A012 is quite reliable? Normally I should expect a reason...or is it usual that they release test-versions?

Regards,

Roger
