T68i - Connection to the Internet and CommuniCam zoom
I did some research this morning to see if I could figure out how to connect to the internet using my laptop, Bluetooth and my phone. My hope is to not use an ISP, but rather to use the built-in connectivity of AT&T's mMode service. I found these comments that include links to some articles on how to do this. I might have to try this tonight or at least preserve it here for future reference.
I also wanted to find out how to upgrade my phone's firmware so it could support zoom for it's camera. I was disappointed to find out that I have to go through the following seemingly painful process:
- Call Tech Support at (800) 374-2776 and get a reference number.
- Call the Sony Ericsson Repair Center at (651) 229-5862 and schedule my phone for repair.
- Send them my phone. Turnaround time is 3-5 business days once they receive it.
Ugh, granted I don't use the thing much, so living without it for two weeks wouldn't be too bad - but it is nice to have it around. Too bad I can't just download the software and upgrade - I wonder if they're physically replacing some embedded hardware? I asked if I could take it to an AT&T Store, but no dice - this is the only way to get zoom. Damn. Posted in General at Mar 13 2003, 11:18:30 AM MST Add a Comment
