Does anyone know if it's possible to delete all the pictures that came with the phone? I've deleted some of them but the rest say "Cannot delete predifined item".
They're using up memory!

woohoo, scratched the back one too
thx haki for ur suggestion
one more question: since australian service centers all refuse to flash my phone to non-vodafone software, i probably have to use sonyericssonserver.com or something similar... now, if i flashed it myself with one of these online servers, will i be able to take my phone to a service center, pretend it's not vodafone, and get them to upgrade it if updated software becomes available? do they need to see the receipt? (it has vodafone printed on it...
)

This is one of the many threads that discusses that you can't remove a couple of items but if you check them they are both 32 x 32 so take up very little memory that you need not worry (especially since there is nothing you can do about it!).

Frail, I promised you it would work! I'm glad you did it!
...without any remnants of its sinnery past of course!
Now, regarding upgrading; in Greece one is normally in service-period within 15 months after the manufacturing week stated on the back of one's phone. This is perfectly reasonable unless it is a stolen unit. But then again, it is not SE's duty to deal with thefts.

but the question is, can they tell if i flashed it myself? if they can tell then they might say "u have voided ur warranty, we can't upgrade for u"... if not then everything's perfect

@frail: The warranty period for SE worldwide is 12 mos upon presentation of the sales receipt, or 15 mos after manufacturing date; whichever suits you best! (I think!).
Regarding flashing, if you get the hang of doing it yourself then you could also install the newer unbranded versions as they become available. This means that you would have to pay every time you did this. If you did this only initially, then you could try to get the upgrades at SE for free, but there is always the chance that they will discover it is a Live unit (it shows if you look deep inside) and I don't know how they would react even though you can always claim that the first flashing was done at an SE center "when your cousin in Sydney took it somewhere"! It is a complex situation but I don't think that anyone will care that much. In the worst case scenario you might end up with a free upgraded software, courtesy of SE, but...of a Live version!
I hope I've not ruined your weekend! After all, it's only a freaking phone; a good one even if it has horrible Voda icons!
By the way, today I've noticed an important improvement with R1L software and forgive me if it has been mentioned before:
When you are in Camera Mode, you get ALL the camera effects available by pressing the 1,2,3 and 4 keys. One choice of effect for each key. EXTREMELY convenient. By pressing key 1 one actually gets a two-position zooming by alternating between small ang large size image. Also, I've noticed that by moving the joystick in the right-left direction you can control the color saturation which I don't remember if it was available with R1A firmware.
I am VERY happy with these camera improvements!

snip...
Actually the manual quotes warranty as
"Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty, Sony Ericsson warrants this product to be free from defects in design, material and workmanship at the time of the original purchase by a consumer and for a subsequent period of 1 year".
It also goes on to say the warranty is not world wide but only in the region in which the phone was bought (e.g. europe) and then only in countries that actually sell that product.
No mention of 15 months after manufacturing date.

@masseur: What I wrote is "offficially official" with SE-Greece who has a very strong presence and a very extensive and excellent service network here. I assumed that it would be the same everywhere...but I guess I might be "very much mistaken"!
@frail: I remember having read about a British site that offers T610 software, but I cannot recall the name. It is somewhere in here; try a search. Keep in mind that it requires the "T28 cable" which you also have to purchase.
