The I.T called me up today and asked me to pickup my new phone from them, its a SonyErricson P1i ! ^_^

I waited I got home, and un-box the package with my washed hand

Swap in my SIM card, and plugged in its battery, viola, IT’s ALIVE~

After fiddling with it for a while, I realize that it could not connect to my home wifi, which seems odd, my colleague’s N95 connected to it without any fuss…

Another problem that I found, is that I can’t get my Motorola H700 bluetooth head set to pair with my new phone.

A quick browse for solution on the www, found that plenty of people has the exact same problem as I, it is not until I found the following articles that solve both my problem:

1. Unable to connect wifi:

In most cases P1i connects to the network but the applications cannot access the web.

I had the same problem but the solution i found was to reduse the threshoud to 2346.

For this go to internet accounts /more/advanced and change RTS threshold to 2346 and powersave to OFF

now ur browser should be able to access the web.

2. Unable to pair Motorola H700

1. With the mic closed, press the call button and hold it for a few seconds.

2. When the purple (or lavender) light comes on, open immediately the mic while the light is on. After you do this, the light will flash two times and then will remain steadily lit (If the light die off after the boom was flip out, then maybe the connection of the boom is loose, so after you flip it out, FORCE it out a little further, that should make sure this steps work).

3. Your headset will be now in pairing mode.

I must say that another thing that I’m actually shock is that it does not come with a “joy-stick” like my old K700i, although I’m expected that its a “PDA” phone after all.

Now that I’m happy, the keys are still something I need to get used to, qw-er-ty keyboard on a phone… hm….
