i dunno if all these can be done by a firmware upgrade but what i want from SE are:

1) better video quality

2) proper live (MSN) messenger support

3) may be some kind of built-in text & pdf reader...

My wishlist:

* Better shutter time / exposure / focus controls (manual focus!)
Currently I have to mess with combinations of Twilight Landscape, Twilight Portrait and such which appear to change settings that aren't configurable manually.

* Improved macro focus, improved auto white balance
Macro focus can only focus on objects at least 10cm away, while I can clearly see the lense focusing correctly on closer objects during autofocusing, it 'gives up' and instead focuses on the background. Also any remotely cloudy photo becomes bluish (so I have to use the manual setting) whereas all other types of lighting are correctly compensated for.

* PhotoDJ being able to resize images and configure output JPEG quality
When bluetoothing photos to less "endowed" phones like the LG KG800 Chocolate which can't display anything over 1MP, being able to resize a 3MP photo to 1MP or even VGA for a quick tooth would be very handy.

* QVGA video support
Come on people, this is a cameraphone, and my videos look no better than those of a bloody K750. If the display is 320x240 (in landscape), my 3GP videos can be 320x240 as well.

* Consistent photo viewer
When I have just taken a photo, I can only look at it, and not zoom in or do anything else. I have to press the back button, and press View to open the latest photo in a viewer that supports zooming. But if I want to bluetooth this photo to a friend, I have to go out of Cyber-shot mode and look up the photo in the file manager, because that viewer has a "Send->Via Bluetooth" option in the menu, which the menu in the Cyber-shot viewer lacks.

* Non-crippled acoustics on the MP3 player
Sure, this isn't a walkman phone, but that's no reason to take away all the dynamics when playing music. SE seem to have added a huge dynamic compression filter which turns up all quiet passages and turns down all loud passages, and also appears to limit the loud passages to some kind of "safe-for-ears" volume. The FM radio doesn't suffer from this problem, and has a clear and loud sound, so it's clearly firmware-imposed.

* Real multi-tasking
I can listen to MP3s while playing Java games (provided they're not sucking up all the CPU with fancy 3D graphics), I can view a received SMS message while browsing and return to my browser after reading... Cool! But I can't do anything while receiving a file over bluetooth, *UNLESS* I started that activity before I was offered the file.
Situation A: I am writing an SMS message. I get offered a file via bluetooth. I accept. I open the task manager, select Compose and press Resume. Neat!
Situation B: I am in standby. I get offered a file via bluetooth. I accept. I want to write an SMS message. I open the Shortcuts menu, and select Messaging. Without any notice or error message I am returned to standby where the bluetooth progress bar blocks any other activities. EH?!

* Configurable GUI font size
Even my old SE T230 could set the font size smaller. I have 240x320 worth of screen estate, and the large fonts are making all that space worthless. Only the email reader appears to have a configurable font size, and I love reading my emails in a small font.

* Better T9 word prioritising
In Dutch, many different words can be typed from the same numeric keystrokes. In situations where multiple options apply, the preset "preferred" word stays first in the list, even if it is a word I *never* use. It would be useful if it would sort the list based on my usage.

* T9 number entry
If I start typing "2" and then press "3" this makes "2e". I *would* expect T9 to realise I'm writing a number, and suggest 3 as the next character.

It does sort the T9 words based on your usage. I can tell mine does at least.

Could be I don't write SMS messages often enough then.


Anyway, another wish:

* Fast forward skipping in the video player

You can fastforward in the videoplayer (not if you open it through the file manager though) but is it something more you want?

Are you all able to download photos stored into the memory stick ?
