Works fine for me - watch films quite often with absolutely no syncing problems..
BTW - "They Stated I can watch MP4...they didn't state I have to watch clips out of sync"
But they didn't say
"You can watch MP4 with the sound in sync" or ""You can listen to the soundtrack on MP4 in sync with the video"
either way I'm sure leagaly they coverd themselves.
Also, at what point did Sony actually make a press release stating the firmware would be released on the 20th of Jan?.. or the 24th?... or the 25th?
To my mind, the only thing anyone is basing this on is a little bit of sub-text on a webpage that states:
"If you have purchased a K630i, K850i, V640i, or W910i please update your firmware in the next release in January 2008 for optimal performance."
So - new firmware - in January.. simple as that. Whats with all the SE bashing - they still have till the end of the month!

The thing is not legal issues but just no respect at all to your clients... |

I dont think you could go down the falce advertising root but if you think you can back it up you can always phone the Traiding Standards and say "Fit for the purpose"
that goods of this type are generally sold. They must also be fit for any specific or particular purpose made known to the seller at the time of the agreement.
or
"As described"
- goods should correspond with any description applied to them

Guys, I'm out of my patience. My phone is creakig so loud, I had problems with the shutter and the software problems are making me nerveous so I decide to sell it and to buy N82.
Today I used the phone for a couple of hours and I'm so exited of it even I don't like the Symbian. The phone is working properly and everything with it looks fine.
The lack of things like TrackID, the menus structure and some other things is stoping me just for the moment to take this step...

I am not a happy camper about this phone now. I used to defend this phone like plank. but now I feel it is let down.
Tried to update from 29 to 37 on fota last week and my phone locked up and would not reboot, the screen went black and I had to take it to SE.
Funny thing was when I took it to se they pressed 8 on bootup and the screen turned on. they did have to reflash it and i am still on 37.
I also had a rattle when I would shake my phone. I though it was a loose speaker, but they told me it is the pull out serial.
One thing after taking it in, it now squeaks when i press on the front below the lense.
I wish i would have gone for the n82 instead now.

It's a pity you can't roll back to the old -29 firmware over the net. That firmware at least allowed me to run java.
If they won't release the new firmware next week i will take my phone to a service centre and ask them to roll back the firmware there(if they can). I got SE to roll back my firmware on my W800 when it got worse after a firmware "upgrade". But they might be able to do this on only a few locations and not at every service centre. |
