OK, thanks for the answer. Sons of b*tches!!! Whoever did it... Anyway, I suppose the MP3 player supports usual MP3s? THAT might decide wheter I buy it or not. Has'nt anyone found a way to work around the DRM-problem with the K700 yet? That would be nice, 'cause maybe it could be applied to the V800 as well  |

Yes, I saw this on Tweakers (Dutch Forum)
I found out that you can play a MP3 if you attach DRM (Digital Rights Management) to them. The DRM is what vodafone used to allow there usage of realtones of there site. So i found out that you can use Drmpackager from http://developer.sonyericsson.com/ to give your Mp3's digital rights. Use the standard settings and load a MP3, press the Create DRM content and there you have it. Upload the file created which ends in .Dm, instead of the MP3 you were going to use as ring tone and you will see that it has the same quality as the original MP3 and you can select it as a ring tone. Cool eh?

Very good!!! I hope it is applicable on the V800 as well
And, does the usual MP3 player support normal MP3s? |

Well for K700 it appears to work only for R2V firmware, not for earlier ones.

Upadate on the memory issue:
Sony Ericsson has update their site. It now states, when you press compare phones, that the V800 will have 7MB memory.
Another interesting thing; there is now several pictures of unbranded phones on their site. In all colours. Although it still says, in words, that it will be exclusive to Vodafone.
And, one more thing! Now the compare section claims that the V800 will have 72 voice polyphonic sound. That is nice. 16 seemed a sort of few.
I hope all of this is true now

Axe; about 7mb free for user, confirmed. About the Polytones, it's quite difficult to hear the difference between 16 and 72 voices, most midi's haven't got that many tones, and also, the phones supports mp3's so who would want midi? |

No, only at the launch.
After a while, de V800, then maybe calles as Z800 will also be available for all the other providers (unbranded)

oh ma god.... its like a dream come true??? wonder wats SE tryin to pull... putting 16voice n 3mb in the 1st place!!! wonder why?? any ideas?? this really reflects the company in 2 ways....
BAD- they hired an idiot to update their site in the 1st place.. and putting mistakes in the website..
GOOD- SE really listen to consumers and quickly made changes to the phone!!!! |

Why?
The Z1010 is much thicker, doesn't support Pro version of the MemoryStick, lower quality display and lower quality camera.

That seems pretty little memory to me.

yes, maybe so, but it should be enough for the pim-functions, right? pictures and sounds you can store on the MSPD which supports up to 1GB. 32 MB card included, so i think itll be fine even if its a little low...
