    OK, thanks, will go get a new one so... :)

    Yes, SE online settings are out of date. Have a look at http://www.vodafone.ie/phonestariffs/allabout/display.jsp?type=settings&cat=GPRS&phone=F500I&manu=SonyEricsson&model=F500i - pretty similar interface and all the settings are there.

    Seems as if the local vodafone store doesnt have any 3g sim cards. :( So, no new sim for me till next week then or maybe the weekend - seems as if they have them in Waterford. Thankfully (for the moment that is), there is no 3g coverage at my house so the phone is working perfectly on 2g. :)

    Come across this on SE website.

    Sony Ericsson V802SE

    Cant see any difference apart from the memory.

    Good news for me anyway, picked up a new 3g sim card in Waterford this morning, put it in, and off it went perfectly. The assistants in the shop were wondering where I got hold of the v800, as they hadnt seen any yet, and were quite impressed with it. :) Tried out a video call while in the shop and it worked very well - I was quite pleased with the quality and frame rate. So now all I've got to do is get 3g phones for all my friends for christmas so I can make more use of it! ;)

    the V802SE is for Japan, and has some extra functionality for that market such as Positioning, International Prefix, Japanese Emergency Call and Pictograms - full details can be found in the handset's White Paper

    can't see any difference in the memory specification though, from the tech spec on the developer site it lists the same for both:

    Heap size: 512 kB - 1.5 MB (dynamic, depending on available memory)
    Shared memory for storage: 32MB
    External memory: Up to
    1GB Memory Stick Duo Pro
    Max JAR Size: Unlimited (but depending on available storage)

    Can someone help me get the live/3G settings on my phone? Went to VF stores and none of them could do it, even rang CS and they may be able to give me the settings but not sure when because of the holidays.

    What happens when you use your existing settings? There are no major differences between 2G and 3G live except for media streaming (etc) to work you need something changed in your network profile which VF will have to do. They will only do this if you get a new SIM - do you have a new 3G SIM? I also believe you need the browser configured for WAP2 (HTTP protocol using port 80) but everything else is the same.

    Even when I was using my 2G simcard I couldnt connect to VF Live. Just got my 3G card today and had problems making and receiving calls. I called VF and they sorted that out already but I cant seem to connect to Live or 3G. It keeps saying connection failed.

    If the 2G SIM wouldn't connect to the live APN then I'm not surprised the 3G didn't either (although changing SIM should have solved the problem) Call VF and ask them to check explicitly that the live APN is provisioned and that it has the correct quality of service for a 3G subscriber. If it is then check your live settings against those on www.vodafone.ie (also repeated here several times - I'm sure a search will find something).

    Well I did ring VF CS but they say since the phone is not sold yet, they cant provide support for it. Apparently they dont have the settings to it. I'd just thought since there's a couple of guys here that already have it working that they may be able to help me. I'll go to VF's website and try to follow the settings on one of their SE phones.

    The 2g sim should have worked fine for vf live, so the sim isnt the problem. Video calls, etc dont require any settings.

    I posted a link a page or so back to a guide for configuring a SE phone with a similar interface for live. 3g/2g live all share the same settings.

    They dont officially support it cause it's not released, but there are no special settings for it. If you are getting access problems to the live APN then it is most likely network settings - call them and ask if they live APN is provisioned (as I said before including the quality of service). Dont even mention the handset you are using as its irelevant. If live works on other live handsets and not the SE then you can worry about the connection/wap settings.

    Regarding the WAP settings, make sure it is configured to use HTTP and not WAP, port 80 (not 9201). IP: 10.24.59.100, APN: live.vodafone.com, user: dublin, password: dublin

    My only problem with the phone so far is that the volume cant be set very high - I sometimes have difficulty hearing people in somewhat noisy conditions where I could hear them fine before with my 6230 - the ringer volume doesnt go very high either.

    I dont have that problems with mine. At the moment the ringer is set at max and I think its really loud. Talking is also fine for me. No problem hearing people. I guess it depends on what we were used to before.

    All the music videos I've downloaded are the whole thing - I think they all are. Full music track download will be available at some point next year but is not yet.
