Has anyone had any luck with this? On SONY Ericsson's website, when I browse the compatible accessories for the k850i, the MMR-60 came up.

I thought that this would work fine with my k850, so I got it. I plugged it into my k850i and nothing. No popup window, asking me which frequency I'd like to set it to. Nothing...(I have the latest FW on the k850i, the R1F firmy).

Now the odd thing is that it flashes about every 30 seconds to a minute. From reading the guide that came with it, it means that it isn't transmiiting...no REALLY???

Anyways, thought it might be a defective device, so I plugged it into my w810i, and magically, the popup window popped up, asking me what frequency I wanted to use it on. Amazing! Working like it's supposed to! And I could see it in the accessories menu in the settings menu. Wow!

So I left it plugged into the k850i, thinking the k850i was merely slower than the w810i. And I watched it. For 30 minutes. Except for blinking, I never took my eyes off of it. Never saw a menu...never could find it in the accessories menu.

What gives??? Anyone else know what to do, or have a solution? I guess I should call SONY for an official stance on this, but I know I'll get some crappy, non-responsible answer, so I figured I'd ask here.

I'm guessing it may have something to do with the k850i being an A2 phone, but I'm not sure, can anyone else back me? It's pissing me off!

I've used the mmr-60 with my k850i, no problems at all

Edit: it looks like it actually was the -70 that i used.

...that's false advertising...they have it on their damn site, saying it's a compatible accessory...that just pisses me off! Is that one backwards compatible with the older phones, at least?
