Sony Ericsson C902...
Discussion
Any experts out there?
Just picked this up today and there are a few little niggles I would like to get cleared up. Mainly the display bit at the top of the screen, (battery level indicator, Signal strength bit etc.)
Next to the signal indicator there is a little blue "H" sybol that keeps appearing. What the hell is this for?
And next to that, there is an internet like symbol of a blue and green earth which is showing up even when i'm not using the internet??
There is another little thing that is confusing me, the price plan I'm on includes free use of Windows Live Messenger, but when I sign into it from the phone it doesn't show any of my contacts as online..
Any help is appreciated!
TIA

Do a software upgrade on it as soon as you can, it helped mine which was turning itself off for no reason and not doing things it should have done, like the alarm going off, made me late for work twice! Been fine since though.
The H is the faster internet connection, only available in certain parts of the UK, not national coverage yet, but better than GPRS apparantly. The world symbol is that it's online, but mine comes on if I'm receiving a picture message, or sending one too.
Which provider are you with?

HSDPA, 3.6Mbps 3G network on that phone.In the box the phone came in, install the software on the cd and there's an application that connects you to Sony Ericsson's website and searches for one automatically. As long as you've got the phone connected to the computer via the cable too. 
ETA: Just make sure anything you've put on the phone already today, like contacts or images are backed up as you'll lose them during the upgrade.

I was thinking of getting one of these phones, they look nice and slim and have quite a few features. Apart from the above, are they generally ok as phones go?
i love mine apart from the niggles. Very slim, works well, camera is good and looks a million times better than the N95.
The only thing is, a 8MP Sony C905 is coming soon.....

I often wonder why the manufacturers bother putting this sort of thing on a phone. It's not as if the user can do much about it. Just have a "I'm doing something" icon and leave it at that.

Not one of the SE firmware updates I've done has cleared out the contacts/calendar entries, and thats on a few phones - W550, W810, K800.ETA: Just make sure anything you've put on the phone already today, like contacts or images are backed up as you'll lose them during the upgrade.
