Sony Ericsson “PC Suite”, P900 and Microsoft Vista don’t play
Earlier this year I assembled a new PC and installed Microsoft Vista Ultimate on it.
Most of my existing Windows software worked but unfortunately the one key software that didn’t work was Sony Ericson’s “PC suite” for the Sony Ericsson P900 mobile telephone.
After months of telling me that they would issue a Vista version of “PC Suite” I was delighted when I heard that “PC Suite” was released. Imagine my dismay when I found out that this new version of “PC Suite” did not support Sony Ericsson P900 and P910i telephones on Vista but would support the newer Sony Ericsson telephones.
So much for waiting. As great a telephone the P900 is, I decided to go for the O2 xda Orbit (a rebranded and repackage HTC Artemis). Brilliant phone. And, of course, it synchronises beautifully with Vista. In fact, a couple of days ago, I just upgraded the firmware from Windows Mobile 5 to Windows Mobile 6…makes it an even better phone!
Anyway, Sony Ericsson. Boo!
PS – Following my earlier rant at a Sony Centre shop in Harrow you may think that I’ve got vendetta against Sony. Far from it…I’ve got a Sony High Definition TV, Sony 7.1 receiver, Sony stereo power amp and a Sony 20GB HDD MP3 player.
