I found a P1 advertisement in the local newspaper and I bought it from a guy, but now I see its a SE123, the prototype!

Can I still update it, like other P1 phones?

Or did is it all to no use now?

It works fine but its not a real P1, pity me.

Perhaps not a "real" P1 you think, but if I were you I would be very happy! A prototype is something special to those who are enthusiastic about phones and I would hang onto it!

However you may have problems updating it, unless you can find someone with SE Tool. I once flashed a proto M600 and it did work, although the flash process was the strangest thing I have ever seen!

Good luck

It even looks funny now when I compare it with the pictures on the web of a real P1, it has that same brushed metal-like look on the sides, even between the keyboard and the screen, not that black plastic part.

What did I buy? Some kind of monster?



Ps. funny also, it has no scratch anywhere, except for the one I did yesterday.

Hmmm, hmmm, mm?

Get rid of it.
It probably has a Beta UIQ3 which is full of bugs...

What means "flashed"?

I just want to have that update on the Sony Ericsson official site with a USB cable, so its same like others. But I feel scared to do it, if somethings goes wrong since its a proto.

I found out it was a proto, since it looked different when I compared mine with the pics on the internet, I am not a specialist. So I thought I was being fouled by the guy, but maybe its cool to have a prototype P1???

Im a newbee, forgive me for so many questions.

Explore the phone, it can have some extra feature like call recording or radio recording, which normal P1 don't have.

The beta version of P990i did definitely have recording from the radio:

It looks better with brushed metal between the keypad and the screen than that black plastic on P1, Ho ho ho!. I feel better now.

Thanks...

WTH I thought you should at least see the phone before buying.
