Anyone recently upgrade to a sim2. I just did. Had a normal sim for like 9 years. Anyway does it matter if the sim2 says 3g on it. I went back to vodafone store and asked and the guy said it doesnt matter, its just the new sim.
It says 128kb on it when other sim2 say 32kb. I dont really care as long as it works but after turning on the phone if I press menu there is a short lag b4 the menu opens. This never happened b4. Cant the k750 handle the sim or something?

Sim2 is just an updated sim, bit more memory and thats about it really. Nothing technically different that you would need to change your phone or stop it from working. (EG you could put em in an old ericsson and they'll work fine too)
Wierd that the K750 is playing up though, software maybe?

So a sim 2 is the same as a sim2 that says 3g on it?
I dont think its software or hardware problems with my phone. It only happened after I changed to a sim2. Havent updated my firmware yet because havent really had much problems and I dont have broadband. Also a bit paranoid I might stuff up my phone.

Doesn't matter what the simcard says on it CS, it'lkl still let you connect to the network.
My old old OLD sim1 lets me used 3g phones without a problem.

Hello all...
As I understand it, you can't use 3G services without a 3G sim card.
A K750 therefore won't benefit from a 3G sim card except for the extra memory. A sim2 enables access to the VF 2G and 2.5G services.
I've given up on Internet via VF GPRS and gone back to a landline and Xtra Broadband (3.5 Mb/s) connection. Vodafone just couldn't bill the Data correctly and despite what they said on Campbell Live tonight, their Data Policy can't cope with Residential Internet users.
Also, did you guys know:
* SonyNZ is a 027 Customer and uses Nokia phones?
* SonyNZ doesn't think SE phones are any good?
* SonyNZ are not releasing any more new SE phones in the NZ market?
* Vodafone stores have only runout stocks of V800's left?

The sim card doesn't matter
at all CK, I have mine in a 3g phone, with no issue of using 3g services. (This is a Sim1, the old white pre pay sim card, god knows how many years old)
It's a good thing then that SonyNZ and Sony Ericsson are seperate
W900 and other models will definately be coming out, the hold up is with vodafone, so if you were talking with someone at Sony they got their facts pretty wrong.
I'd imagine V800's are being ramped down to make way for the W900's

W900 is a replacement for the S700 is it not? Prices are similar, both are swivel phones.
V800 has no successor as far as I'm aware.
Lost my beloved K700i last week, just picked up a V800this weekend.

Same form factor as the S700i yes, but ideally mroe of a replacement for the V800 as well. Really don't like the V800 personally :/

W950 with 4GB would be ideal, but I won' t hold my breath on NZ availability.
W900i is cool but too expensive for me. Anyone seen one at a VF outlet?
W800i is nearly impossible to find now, likewise the K750i, K600i, Z520.
V800 is the only SE phone that VF stockists still have.
April issue of MyMobile magazine no longer has V800 listed in the buyers guide. Is SE disappearing in a sea of Nokia and Motorola 3G handsets?
Edit: www.
.co.nz lists W550/W800/W810/W900 all unavailable.
Parallel Importers still stock some SE phone's but mostly 2.5G models.
Loving the MP3 player and MSDP facility. Miss having a radio though.
First Clam I've ever had. A very high quality 'special' feeling phone.
Not so upset at losing the K7 now...
