Hi everyone!
I know quite a few people have got one of these and I hope to have tomorrow am!
I also know there are a few threads but I have not found one dedicated to users of the Paris..
SE P5i Rumours and Photoshop Thread
Sony Ericsson Paris P5i/P200 Video-Review
and perhaps a few others.
What I would like to learn is how to get the best out of the Paris! I know it is UIQ 3.3 OS.
So what applications are you running?
How do you synchronise your phonebook and schedule with the Paris.
Best place for themes. I have seen this site but have not registered yet.

Why has this thread been moved to Rumours when some Esato members actually have the Paris P-5i in their hands?
Don't understand that..... I do know it was not released but it still exists.

Used a few Paris's in my time
Amazing device, shame it got cancelled!
Camera, wfi, Gps, touchscreen, slider = awesome features overall.
Themes, dont think may are around on the web, a few will be available on the phone.
Never sync'd it to my PC to be honest.

It's a nice phone. Shame it got cancelled as i think it would have been a popular phone. As with other prototype's there is no way to use it with your pc as there are no drivers supporting the P5. You maybe able to send your contact list and calendar entries via Bluetooth though but it would be one at a time so could take a while.

Thanks!
@PeterKay - what gps software do you use with it?
@Rookwise - Do you think it would be possible to put contacts on the memory card and then transfer to the phone's main memory?
I am off to search for piccies taken with this phone..

If you can put your pc contacts as a V Card/vcf File (whichever type the phone supports) try this.
Make a contact on your phone (eg A). You dont need to put a phone number. Save it and then backup you contacts to the memory card.
Put your memory card into your computer.
Find you contacts backup file on the memory card (should be located in a folder called Backup)
Locate the contacts file on your memory card and note the title and file type (vcf/V card)
Rename your pc's contacts file to the same title and type as the one on your memory card.
Delete the backup file on your memory card and replace it with the edited on from your pc.
Put the memory card back into your phone and the option to Restore Contacts should be available. Select it and see if its worked.
Thats what I used to do when transferring contact backups from non smartphones to my
Symbian smartphones and it worked everytime.[ This Message was edited by: Rookwise on 2009-07-07 01:49 ]

thanks Rookwise!
I will try that when I get a memory card reader.
I did bluetooth my contacts from my BB Bold to the P5i but have no idea where the file is on the P5i!
It did seem to send across, as a VCF, with no problems !
I do have a new icon on at the top of the screen - yellow envelope with 2 blue >> marks on it..
Any advice welcomed!

Where did you guys all get this phones from?
I mean, it was NOT released, not officially shown.
Iw ant one too

@Ofiaich
When you send a contact or calender entry over via bluetooth it will be saved in your messages usually. Dont know if the P5 is different but my P1,W960 and G900 was like that.
Posted by ofiaich
@kuemmeltuerk
I got mine from the for sale threads here at Esato
@Rookwise.
You are spot on! But I knew you would be
I opened the message with the vcf file and saw
This file has 51 contacts that you may save to your contacts application.
And I can see a small box with 'saving cohtacts' in it..
But I cannot see any contacts in my contacts!
Hmm, bit of a puzzle! But early days! More checking out this evening

Check your contact settings. Your contacts will be in the Unfiled view. AFAIK you will have a choice which to view. The previous owner might have changed it.

actually its P10
Posted by ofiaich
Hi Angello,
but in the system information it is called a P200
@Rookwise,
OK are you suggesting to change it to 'all phone contacts'? Still cannot see the contents of the VCF file.
Ofiaich
Posted by Rookwise
Did you send all your contacts over in one file ?
If so. That is why it hasn't worked. You might only have one contact displayed out of the whole lot. For some reason the Symbian phones had a problem with this. Best way is to set the phone to view all contacts or view unfilled. Then send one contact over at a time via Bluetooth. The contact will be saved in your messages as before. Open the message and save the contact. It should appear in your contacts list.
Again this is one way how i managed to get my contacts onto my Symbian phones back when i didn't have a card reader. Takes a while but it works.

Thanks Rookwise,
I did send over in one file from a BB Bold, and it didn't work.....
but Nanu told me about BBCard, which allows transfers.
So between yourself and Nanu, it is now sorted
Now all I need to do is install an app that gives Japanese support and I am setup!
Thanks to you both

Cool. Glad you got it sorted in the end
Posted by ofiaich
Yes, thanks Rookwise.
but it was down to you and Nanu...!!
credit where credit is due..
Next problem...
bluetooth PSILOC Japanese ( Psiloc_CrystalJapanese_UIQ3.sisx )from my pc to my Paris.
Transfer seemed successful !
but I can't find it to launch it !
It must be there somewhere!
If I can launch this app, then I will be able to see Japanese in my address book!

Update,
I could get Psiloc Japanese to launch, and the the phone restarts but the application doesn't work.
Just get the same 'install Psiloc Japanese' in the menu.
That's a pity, but I do know clearly, that Paris is a prototype..

Need some help please!!
Anyone into reflashing phones? My Paris will not boot up..
Gets about 33% - 50% then reboots.
No idea what to do.....
Ofiaich..
Posted by Rookwise
Just replied to your pm mate. You've corrupted the phones software and the only way to revive it is to flash it at a repair center or off the main SE server or if you know someone who has the full version of SETool they might be able to sort it. Other than that it's now just an expensive paperweight.

@Rookwise,
Hi Rookwise,
Yes, I think so but not sure why it happened....
I don't know anyone who flashes phones, hmmm, GBrooks, springs to mind... do a search to see if he is still around.
@theos,
thanks say a prayer for my Paris please...

it sucks how they aint realeasing the p5i
Posted by ofiaich
Hi!
I am wondering which other apps to install but don't want to make my Paris sick again...
edit -
I have downloaded Swiss Manager Elite UIQ3-SE 2.10 and want to install it on my Sony Ericsson Paris.
I have sent the sis file from my PC to the Paris but it will not install it.
I also tried by copying it to the M2 card and then used install from Settings > General > Install
But the message ‘failed security check’ appears. I am not sure what to do to pass the security check!
I can see ‘security – enable revocation check’ and also URL:
But I am not sure what to add for the url.
Any advice welcomed!

congrats on the p5i ofiach
there are heaps of great applications for the uiq phones..at this moment i cant remember all the apps and games ive got (as i had too many lol)
but if you go through the old p1i and g900/g700 , W960 and m600 threads you will find certain mods and applications you can do straight on the phone.
once again keep us upto date (that goes for everyone with a p5/p10 or p200 whatever its called! lol.
Posted by ofiaich
Hi!
Swiss Manager Elite works now but Psiloc Japanese doesn't!
Swiss Manage Elite displays the names as a P200!
@DarkKrypt - Yes, I will check out UIQ3 apps but don't want to make my P200 sick again!
I think modding it would be tooo risky and I don't want to send it back to hanky again! Even though he is great with his resuscitation skills

Hanky, if you're in here. I NEED YOUR HELP! lol.
I've bought the P5 that you flashed and revived for Olfaich, but it refuses to boot past the loading screen, the white progress bar will move to about 2/3rds loaded but will not move any furhter no matter how long I wait. If i hit enough buttons it'll restart with the usual restarted to improve performance spiel. Anything I can try? Any advice for me? It'll be very much appreciated as I ship out at the end of the week and don't want to have to leave me brand new baby at home for months!
Thanks. Chris6565.
