whaaaat??? are you serious
HPM-64 is sooo lame.. it most definately does not match a high-end walkman phone such as w760. at least they could have bundled it with HPM-70 |

yeah, that is what I said.
Thank God everybody has better headphones...but SE has pulled people's legs here
Or is it a low-end walkman then? |

Got my w760 from 02 yesterday- £189.99
Pros-
Nice striking design much better than w910i
Camera nice, video suprisingly good.
New Menus a lot better
But themes are very girly If your male there are only 2 themes for you 
loading games a bit slow on media
Cons-
Switched off on me once
Very low quality on music through provided head phones
Speaker nothing special, lower than my w580
HAS ANY ONE GOT HIS PROBLEM-
MY W760 DOES NOT COME WITH GOOGLE MAPS AND WAYFINDER??? I RANG 02 AND THEY SAID I NEED TO CONTACT SE I HAVE SENT THEM AN EMAIL AND WAITING A REPLY. ANY ONE EXPERIENCED THIS ?

@10123 Yes same issue, my O2 W760 on contract does not have google maps or wayfinder installed either! I was going to go back to the O2 store to complain! I can't see how this is an SE problem, as i have heard from others who bought a sim free unit, that these apps were included. I figured this was a branding issue with O2 but i don't really know, i'll certainly post if i get more info.

@Oz-Sco
when i rang 02 they said at first it is only available for people on contratct.
On the back of the box it does say---
-Geo picture blogging- Where is this?
-Location based imaging- Where is this?
I dont think i will take it back, and also on the phone the GPS button does not work, it doesnt load any thing with GPS but 02 home page internet. It seems as if they rushed the branding.

Hmmm on contract, well not mine.. I'll try make it to the shop this week and report back, but it does sound like O2 have left us without a few features. If O2 doesn't help i will consider debranding my handset, i assume this would install the software as sony intended. |

In my Sim-Free unit these are in the Camera options.
Open up the camera, go to options and i have an option to Add Position.

@ Lunion
Yes my O2 phone also has the add position option.
As O2 didn't install google maps, i downloaded it myself, but this doesn't seem to use my GPS. On the sim free version you have does google maps use the gps?

I have my GPS disabled, but i just gave Google Maps a go and it said i need to enable GPS, so it must use it, but i didnt get the GPS icon at the top, just the internet globe....

Thanks Lunion, i thought that might happen.. It seems my version of google maps doesn't know my gps is there, maybe i try re-installing, or more likely, i need the proper install that sony do. |

This may be a bug of the firmware you are using. Did you tried master reset or updating the phone through SEUS?
