SonyEricsson/V800

The successor to the :

Supports the Bluetooth HID profile (a feature that never made it to the ) and has pretty much the same 1.3Mpixel CCD as the (which makes sense, but is a bit of a disappointment).

Notes:

Rich Content Support

I was able to dynamically generate Flash 4 content to the phone using and Ming. The catch, as far as I see it, is that the phone understandably requires the Content-Length to be present (it crashed on occasion when it wasn't), so you have to either buffer the output or save the Flash content to a file. I did not try anything too sophisticated (or larger than 32KB), but did establish that Flash 5 or 6 content (at least that generated by Ming) did not work.

Beaming Flash and SVG files across worked, and most of the simple samples I tried displayed correctly.

Themes

Files are marked version 3.1, since there are quite a few more attributes than in the (most of them related to the exterior display, which is also themable).

Last Known Firmware Version

R1J002 (may be outdated)

Probable Address Book Fix:

(taken from here by indication from Mark Pors, still untested)

  • Quit and backup your Address Book
  • Control-click on the Address Book app, select Show Package Contents, then navigate to Contents -> Resources.
  • Control click on Telephony.bundle, Show Package Contents, then navigate to Contents -> Resources
  • Open ABDeviceCommandSets.plist with Property List Editor (or your favorite XML editor)
  • Find this array in the ABDeviceCommandSets.plist: Root -> 1 -> ABDeviceModelStrings ... you should see two string entries here, T610 and Z600. Add another string entry, or change one that you will not use with the value V800.
  • Save and quit.
